I was chatting away to some childminders this morning and they were talking about how their whatsapp groups are full of very young kids needing to be taken to hospital for serious chest infections...
That sounded like NFE (Normal For England) to me, but I just had a look at the daily emergency department attendances by age group for acute respiratory infections... and 👀

A third of all farmland in the UK is farmed by tenant farmers like my friend (and everybody he knows around here), who'll be completely unaffected by the IHT changes. /2

COVID VACCINE ELIGIBILITY 🇬🇧,
a thread🧵

JCVI have just advised that, going forwards, eligibility for Covid vaccination will be even more tightly restricted.

But the ‘bespoke cost-effectiveness assessment’ upon which this is based is heavily flawed…

Cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic, autoimmune, autoinflammatory, and other conditions, all demonstrably increasing and affecting younger demographics.
NOT the vaccines (not perfect, obvs), COVID.

How much is a lifetime's supply of insulin for a 10yo diagnosed with T1D? 💔

Unreal.
"Staff have been told at the morning handover that they were not allowed to wear FFP3 masks. These masks have been physically removed from the PPE stations.
Staff have been told they will be challenged if 'caught' wearing them."
Make it make sense.

England is getting sicker and sicker.

In lots of ways.

.@lukethereporter, please educate yourself by reading the latest research on how Covid infections can have a lasting detrimental effect on our immune systems making us more susceptible to other opportunistic infections.

Less than 8 months ago, back when the Tories were still in charge, a Labour MP stood up in parliament to ask a VERY important question…

He demanded to know what assessment the government had made of Long Covid on the workforce.

That MP was Andrew Gwynne (@GwynneMP)…

I would be less concerned about H5N1 being able to infect lung cells and kill animals if my entire country didn't think that the way to get healthy is to catch every disease available.

But here we are…

Nearly 5 years in to a global pandemic…

…with everyone doing their best to ignore what’s actually going on…

…and complaining about high rates of illness absence in hospitals and schools…

…but STILL doing nothing to actually address the root cause.

[Cat in the Hat 🐈‍⬛ 🎩 🇬🇧 @_CatintheHat]

Let’s cut to the chase here…

1️⃣ NHS Staff Sickness Absences are still SIGNIFICANTLY higher than pre-pandemic.

2️⃣ The waves of NHS Staff Absences align almost perfectly with the waves of Covid.

If you want to fix the NHS, start by mitigating the transmission of Covid.
