Louder for the people in the back: "It has been a public health failure that the public does not realize how much organ damage #COVID infection can cause to things that aren’t your lungs (or throat or nose or taste buds)." The image below is based on data collected from 80,071 kids and teens:

For five long years I have tried to tell people who refuse to listen that people I know have continued to die or become disabled by long covid and also sadly my friend with long Covid died before Christmas. I have been repeating like a parrot and it falls on deaf ears and people don’t want to hear 🧵

Not once in 5 years have MPs made time for clinically vulnerable to prevent more deaths. This includes clinically vulnerable children. You can’t erase this history.

You’ll hear a lot of nonsense about the US bombing of Iran in the next few months. The most expert guide, to what is factually happening, is the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. US attacks Iranian nuclear facilities, raising the possibility of Iranian retaliation, sprint for nuclear weapons

1. It's important to understand that there are no conspiracies regarding the general lack of mitigations against Covid-19. There is no utopia for the extremely wealthy / elites that is 'Davos safe'. 'Covid' is now much more a political term than a disease.

The figure is now over 240k ++ and I don’t understand the lack of concern on ongoing preventable deaths for the same reason in our population in the UK. This should matter to the government but it doesn’t.

Two leading Canadian economists say a guaranteed income floor that cuts poverty in half could be funded at half the cost of previous estimates. This would make basic income considerably cheaper than the cost of poverty itself, saving lives and money.

It's always a bit of a thrill to see this drachm coin minted in Knossos, Crete, which depicts the goddess Hera on the obverse. Because on the reverse, below, is depicted an iconic image from the myth of the Minotaur - the labyrinth. 🏺 #ancientbluesky #ARTIC Struck 350-220 BCE. 📸 me

People don’t believe Long Covid is real because they can’t face it. If they face the reality of how disabling COVID can be, they might be forced to adjust their behaviour. They might be forced to admit we aren’t “back to normal” and the threat as not passed. The denial bubble would burst

Lighthouse reflected. Lighthouses might be my favourite type of building. The first recorded lighthouse was the Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Pharos was built in around 280 BC and was 450 feet high, making it also the tallest one ever built. 1/2 🧵

New study finds that air filters in schools reduces the number of sick days kids take. Clean air works wonders. It’s egregious that we haven’t adopted it in all public places by now. It reduces risk of COVID & other viral infections, allergies, asthma and helps with pollution and wildfire smoke!
