I’ve lost friends / acquaintances because I’ve chosen to continuing wearing a mask. My conclusion is that these were never my friends / acquaintances to begin with #CovidIsNotOver#WearAMask
As a community we need to continue to push for equality of healthcare - protection & prophylaxis for present and future pandemics.Being #immunosuppressed/#immunocompromised shouldn't mean permanent shielding to keep safe.We will create solutions through collaboration.
@ProtectPatient5@Jeremy_Hunt@AndrewDLansley The government needs to mandate masks in all clinical settings - it makes no sense to make it optional. Every time I take mum to hospital,I act as her personal shield trying to distance unmasked people. Fear begins from weeks before the appointments. We need masks #WearAFaceMask
We need a live-broadcast Select Committee, to discuss the evidence about how well #Evusheld works as a vaccine for the #immunocompromised.
And comparison with the standard of evidence for regular vaccines.
We need transparency on why #Tories have refused to buy it this winter.
@eneldiluvio @ReicherStephen @laurieallee Give up with the strawmen 😄
I'm only advocating for effective masks, they filter any variant as the virus size doesn't change
And yes, of course wear a well fitting mask, and we should be facilitating fit testing in society just like buying a pair of shoes
@eneldiluvio @ReicherStephen @laurieallee As regards to removing masks, no they shouldn't be removed in shared indoor spaces except to eat and drink, and only where adequate HEPA filtration operational
Personally, I've not removed my effective mask in any shared indoor space outside my household since February 2020
@LibbyAWhite26 Its 500K #immunosuppressed people & their families. Sons,Daughters,Wifes,Husbands - Ive had no social for over 2 years, shielding with mum. Mental health is connected to overall health & wellness - healthier populations. #Evusheld will break this pattern & be life changing!.

@drajm I see a lot of the replies pushing PPE Tech but:
1. Earloops are very leaky. If you're expecting <5% inward leakage from an earloop think again. You're probably more in the range of 20-50% total inward leakage
2. PPE Tech's quality control https://t.co/2F9UCX5tyU
@drajm Also if you are family of any of the above. Im shielding for mum, avoided all social since March 2020. Empathy and understanding in society is missing.
Awareness is low, people think its over, immunosuppressed in fear every moment - we need media attention. All the adverts to wear a mask, ventilate all gone, just see food ads. We need a private brand to support this message of prevention in a paid ad - it will be priceless
Failing to mandate masks during a rampant lethal airborne pandemic is the embodiment of the principle that ‘I would rather you die than I be inconvenienced’.
We cannot build a positive flourishing future for anyone carrying a mounting burden of bad faith.

This is an UNSAFE level for rebreathed air based on CO2 levels alone.
During an airborne pandemic where, maybe, 33 people are sharing the air it is simply unacceptable.
Religious groups (churches, synagogues, mosques, etc.) and academia should be leading the way on public health. Instead of being constant obstacles. #WearAMask#GetVaccinated Sheesh.
