🩵💜💗 July 19
= Clinically Vulnerable Awareness Day

4 yrs ago, “Freedom Day” left millions behind. For CV people, it wasn’t freedom but exclusion.

Health and safety should be inclusive rights, not a privilege.

The rise is after 2020. COViD causes neurocognitive dysfunction. It affects executive function, commonly called "brain fog". We estimated a massive economic impact due to inability to work. https://t.co/pHFjgCtlVQ

1. I've just found out that my friend Helen de Cruz has passed away. Helen and I spoke via Zoom several times; in one of our long discussions (which, to my delight, she based an article on), we realised why we both disliked the 'brunch' trope.

We at @TheGreenParty are the ONLY PARTY that has a Covid, Long Covid and Clean Air policy to tackle the ongoing pandemic and the impact it continues to have on population health.
Please watch our short video which outlines our policy: https://t.co/5sesK5Gfva

🔥 "Learning to live with Covid" = Choosing to forget

Read our latest article.

5 YEARS ON:
❌ No protections
❌ No support
❌ No learning
We must protect people against airborne infections.
We need action, not abandonment.

RT if you refuse to forget!

Carla Denyer recommending clean air for schools in the article below.

Here are my boys asking for her help to improve air quality in kids' classrooms, last summer.
Great to know our MP is listening..

😷 Swapping to a surgical mask because your FFP3 isn't fit tested is like swapping your swimming goggles 🥽 for glasses 👓 because they weren't checked for leaks.

[Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 @cv_cev]

@SkyNews 😷Please wear a decent mask to prevent airborne transmission of 'flu. ➡️Look up FFP2 (95% filtration) or FFP3 (99%+).

💉💪Flu vaccines cost £10-20
Vulnerable people can get them free.

💊 You have 48hrs to access antivirals (if you qualify).

[GreensAgainstCovid @GrnsAgnstCvd]

If you visit hospital please wear a proper ffp3 respirator. A surgical mask like the ones in the image is far, far less effective for airborne diseases.

[Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 @cv_cev]

Antivirals can be prescribed during the 'flu season if the DHSC declares 'flu is circulating. Stocks are kept high.

Given the need for rapid access, it may be worth keeping lateral flow tests at home. Various brands are available. They cost ~£2.

⏱ Rapid access is essential

Antivirals work best when started within 48 hours of symptom onset, so you need to contact your GP urgently. NB/ In Scotland, secondary care can also prescribe treatments.

Starting later can still help for high-risk groups in certain contexts.

💊 Important 🧵 - 'flu antivirals 💊

Here’s a quick thread on what you need to know about accessing antivirals for treatment and prevention in the UK.
