This is very important for people to understand. Immunity against SARS-CoV-2 - wanes/declines/disappears with time (months). This applies to immunity from natural infection and vaccine-derived immunity.

It used to be that going to the hospital made you better, not sicker. Watch how carelessness with masks, ventilation, testing, and staying home when infectious, can lead to infection in a hospital—safety matters. 😷

This looks very promising for Scottish schools!!

First motion at #NASUWTScot24 mandates the Scottish Exec Council to campaign to secure air filters in every learning space and common area in schools across Scotland.

Well done @NASUWT_Scotland

Sort of mad that it needs to be said that better air quality (through ventilation and filtration) will reduce risk for healthcare workers and patients, but there you go.
At least it's been officially recorded in the #CovidInquiry now.
