@UKHSA Everyone should pack an N95/FFP2 mask as well

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

@wesstreeting They created the crisis when dropping all the Covid precautions and allowing people's health to be ruined

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

@r_hellqvist De har börjat inse hur mycket skada deras beteende har orsakat och har fått panik

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

@Themislv_vls Don't understand how "living with it" became "surrendering to it". We can do so much better

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

@MeetJess Looks like it could be an epileptic seizure

Not surprisingly C 19 increases the risk of such seizures

@NateB_Panic Both the climate disaster and C 19 emergency could be solved through the same means (more remote working, less unnecessary travelling, etc)

Yet we are letting both these catastrophes go unchecked

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

@Saffiya_Khan1 @UKHSA @chrischirp @SGriffin_Lab @dgurdasani1 Probably strict orders from above

I'd venture that many within UKHSA would have liked to do more

Each time a child gets Covid they increase the probability of long Covid, and a shorter lifespan, but unfiltered classrooms put children in an avoidable environment of ongoing Covid infection. Check out the 5 min ITV report

Brazil: Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) are full in Amapá.

Due to the outbreak of flu and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndromes in Amapá, the Brazilian Navy sent 12 thousand tons of oxygen to the public hospital network.

The link to C 19 is acknowledged:

"Norwegian and international studies show that there may be a increased risk to get this chronic illness after C 19"

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

Norway is seeing a deluge of diabetes in kids, as reported by public broadcaster @NRKno

"There were so many. Previously there would be an interval between each diagnosis, but then they were coming all the time", says a nurse at Stavanger Hospital

@alzheimerssoc That being said, there are concerns about making remote attendance the only option for vulnerable populations, rather than other precautions that would allow them to attend safely in person

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

Thank you to @alzheimerssoc for responding to people's criticism against their unmasked annual conference⬇️

It's encouraging that there was a remote option

In future it might also be a good idea with protections like masks, air purifiers and CO2 monitors

[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

@TheChefsGardens @fred_hallgren It is the personal choice of each individual as to whether they choose to wear a mask. Delegates were given the option to attend the conference virtually, if they did not wish to attend the event in person.

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

@alzheimerssoc @TheChefsGardens As a champion for people with dementia, I think many would be grateful if you could advocate for government guidance that protects those afflicted from catching C 19 and so deteriorating further

@RishiSunak @SteveBarclay @Keir_Starmer @wesstreeting @GeraintDaviesMP

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

I'm saddened not to see a single mask from the Alzheimer's Society's annual conference

When C 19 both causes and exacerbates dementia

[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

Today’s ‘Hope alongside diagnosis’ session has been coproduced with people living with dementia.

They’re speaking about the importance of involvement in enabling acceptance and growth after diagnosis, and sharing their own experiences.

#ASAC2023

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

We also urgently need to spread awareness that C 19 exacerbates and accelerates dementia

We need to come together as a society to help protect those afflicted by #dementia from C 19, so they don't deteriorate and can lead a worthy life for longer

Unless you have a plan to reduce Covid infections, you’ll never get waiting lists down.

The @WHO have warned us that 1 in 10 infections will result in post-Covid conditions.

The Government are dismantling monitoring systems & are fine with repeated mass infection.

#LongCovid

[Fred Hallgren, PhD @fred_hallgren]

@tingxiao7 Natural immunity is very weak, only lasts a few months at best, and at worst you can be reinfected within 3 weeks

[Jess @MeetJess]

This truly saddens me.
As someone who has been in this field over 15 years, and with all the research stating how covid affects the brain and accelerates neurocognitive disorders, we haven’t learned a thing.

We need to do better, we HAVE to
