Still dreaming of wearing the 'baggy green'.

UPDATE: @timfarron IS ON THE CASE! Tim has been in touch with @GwynneMP asking:
'...what source the govt has for their stance on transmission routes for #Covid'.
I look forward to a better response, ideally one which acknowledges that we MUST start mitigating airborne spread!

[Anne Marie 💜 @annesmithmcc]

One question.

WHY DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT ALL THESE BABIES BEING HOSPITALISED BY COVID?

👶🦠

[Gina 😷 SARS2isAirborne #VoteGreen 💚 @Saffiya_Khan1]

SARS-CoV-2 hangs in the air like smoke, because it’s airborne.

This Government film from 2021 brilliantly demonstrates it.

If this had been shown regularly since 2021 we would’ve saved lives and fewer people would’ve been disabled by COVID-19.

[ProtectPatients @ProtectPatient5]

@1goodtern Agree but I think if @GwynneMP letter to @annesmithmcc is ignored by @timfarron @carla_denyer @LibDems @TheGreenParty @BBCNews @SkyNews @itvnews that’s exactly what they are all saying.

[Prof Brendan Crabb @CrabbBrendan]

Good advice from government. Ventilation strategies are also good for flu, rsv and all respiratory infections.

[Michelle O'Connor aka Alcochofa @alco2024]

The DfE clearly know #COVIDisAirborne and have detailed guidance @GwynneMP
Q:My MP @BrianMathewLD asked what will govt do to ensure schools follow this guidance.
A: This is the guidance.

Are schools following this? Is your child's school? Mine isn't 👇

Evidence from Prof Clive Beggs at @covidinquiryuk:

Q. If I ask you now in 2024 how is Covid transmitted, by which route I mean, what’s your answer?

A. Predominantly by an airborne route

@GwynneMP

[GreensAgainstCovid @GrnsAgnstCvd]

We really should not be having this struggle to convince anyone of the nature of transmission of SarsCov2. It's well-documented across multiple domains and also quite self-evident. Public health measures must be based on scientific evidence. #CovidIsAirborne

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

UK COVID INQUIRY

In this video, I’ve compiled crucial evidence from expert witness Prof Clive Beggs where he confirms:

🔎 Covid is airborne
🔎 Covid is predominantly spread via airborne aerosols (not droplets)
🔎 Breathing & talking generate significant amounts of aerosols.

[tern @1goodtern]

That position **is** supported by the World Health Organisation.
They took their time, but they got there in the end:

As you read more and more reports of uncommon pathogens infecting a lot of people, or common pathogens surging far more than usual and/or having unusually severe effects, please remember that this is what immunity theft predicts and what we've warned about for years.

@annesmithmcc @jim_reed @Verde1957 Here’s @wesstreeting in Opposition saying Covid “is an airborne virus” & asking the Government to improve ventilation in schools.

Covid is still causing illness inc. long Covid, so maybe you could challenge the Govt. on their understanding of Covid transmission *NOW* @jim_reed?

[Libby White 🔰#CovidIsAirborne @LibbyAWhite26]

Hmm 🤔
@wesstreeting Remember this? When you KNEW that #COVIDisAirborne
When you criticised the #Tories for not doing enough?
@JulianSmithUK time to take @UKLabour to task.
People are still dying and being disabled by #Covid while the UK is going BACKWARDS 🤦‍♀️

[Stephen Griffin @SGriffin_Lab]

Disappointing. I don't understand why testimony at the @covidinquiryuk by folks like @CliveBeggs is ignored in preference to current "guidance".

How bad does nosocomial transmission and "winter" pressures have to be before someone finally recognises the values of #CleanAir?

[GreensAgainstCovid @GrnsAgnstCvd]

We are dismayed that the Health Secretary has utterly misinterpreted the evidence from the Inquiry. Although Ritchie restated her flawed beliefs, the evidence is overwhelming, and was presented to the Inquiry, that the primary mode of transmission of SarsCov2 is airborne.

[Ceri Turner 💚😷 @Ceri_turns]

Andrew Gwynne doubling down on lies told by Lisa Richie at the Covid Enquiry, denying that Covid transmission is "primarily" airborne, despite the actual & longstanding evidence as ably presented to the enquiry by @barryjmjones, @CliveBeggs & others.
🧵

[Gina 😷 SARS2isAirborne #VoteGreen 💚 @Saffiya_Khan1]

@1goodtern @GwynneMP The Government are going to stick with “not predominantly transmitted via the airborne route” unless the Covid Inquiry makes a recommendation to the contrary. The Govt. see “not predominantly” as a justification for not protecting against airborne transmission, which is bizarre.

[Sam @BlackLabrador10]

Hello @LaylaMoran, when you met w @GwynneMP to talk about PH & the role of the Select Committee & clean air was discussed; did that include his view (now) that Covid is not predominantly airborne despite evidence to the contrary from @barryjmjones & @CliveBeggs @covidinquiryuk

[Maria Van Kerkhove @mvankerkhove]

🙏@ScienceMagazine

Not only is #COVID19 still a global health threat, but we are facing the reemergence and/or geographic expansion of #H5N1, mpox, cholera, dengue, Oropouche, Marburg & more

Constant vigilance & investment needed for pandemic preparedness, prevention & response

Friendly reminder that anti-intellectualism is an authoritarian tactic that is used to control a population by robbing people of the tools to understand and solve problems, foster innovation and build up communities. Education gives people power to improve their conditions.
