This 3yr anniversary that won't be in the news! When the UK government rolled out the "Living with Covid" policy it simply scrapped protections and shifted to personal responsibility. For most, it meant "back to normal." For Clinically Vulnerable people, life became harder. 1/🧵

As early as the 19th century, it was possible to determine and measure the level of CO2 required for proper indoor air renewal. The values recommended at the time are astonishingly precise and highly topical (values updated to take account of changes in outdoor CO2 levels).

We urgently need a mass-messaging educational campaign about Long Covid. Current public awareness is ill-informed (at best), and we need to reach all those who are suffering without knowing why, those who are suffering without allies, and those who will, if we continue to do nothing, suffer next

This is chilling. About a clear an example as you can find of ideology driving science, when the government is telling scientists in advance what answers they want them to find out. But that should also tell you the value of any findings in such a regime.

Why prioritise clean air in schools? To us, the word “inclusion” is key. We often hear comments from schools that kids can still get viruses and germs from other environments / extra curricular activities so it won’t make much difference to viral spread in the school 🤷‍♀️ 🧵 /1

@ruthbrooker.bsky.social gave one heck of a good presentation to a group of us academics at the @bristoluni.bsky.social this afternoon. Truly impressive and moving stuff. Plus she brought her own CO2 monitor and homemade Corsi box.

If governments and organisations attended to indoor air quality, we’d be less reliant on masks to prevent transmission of respiratory infections.

Anyone paying off student loans must wonder why public funds can pay £10,000 for Gov employees for a short course when already salaried. Is there no cap? No repayment scheme? ohttps://www.theguardian.com/law/2025/feb/10/ccrc-chief-spent-public-funds-on-luxury-hotels-and-business-courses-in-france

RFKjr has NO immunology qualifications and for him to misunderstand science is one thing but to then spread disinformation regarding his beliefs is another especially when it comes to healthcare access for black people. Terrifying that republicans will likely affirm his position

"The argument put forward by the government, to justify the lack of #airborne mitigations, is that #Covid-19 is not ‘predominantly’ spread via the airborne route; they maintain that the ‘predominant’ mode of spread is through droplets and contact. This position now goes against the latest science."

Where is the news on the CDC funding webpages being deleted on Trumps orders in the UK press? Reuters claim Musk’s employees are scrubbing data. Why isn’t this headline news? Firing officials involved in prosecuting Jan 6th guilty and US health data disappearing overnight has global implications.
