Hi @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social - would you please consider signing this pledge arising out of the recent inaugural High-Level Side Event on Healthy Indoor Air, taking place on the margins of the UN General Assembly? www.airclub.org www.airclub.org

Hi @ZackPolanski, please would you consider signing this #cleanair pledge arising from the inaugural High-Level Side Event on Healthy Indoor Air, taking place on the margins of the UN General Assembly. 👇🏻 www.airclub.org

Let's just take a moment to enjoy the fact that @dailymail.co.uk's poll backfired on them yesterday. They wrote a misleading article about Violet Affleck's speech at the UN (she didn't call for a mask mandate), and expected their readers to say 'no' to masks in healthcare. 75% said YES. Love it👏

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Any chance of you covering this? It would make us all a lot less sick, and the number of people who die from being infected with Covid WHILE IN HOSPITAL would go down. Currently, 1 in 10 of those infected with covid in hospital die. Which seems important.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social PLEASE discuss this report from Sept 2025 is about the number of people who ARE IN WORK who are also struggling with huge increase in sickness too! People are not all of sudden more lazy, they are sick. Because we are IN A PANDEMIC. bsky.app/profile/anne...

Excellent and overdue article:

🌟NEW ARTICLE🌟 I am so grateful to @teachearlyyears.bsky.social magazine for supporting this vital message. We need our educational leaders to speak up! @departmentforedu.bsky.social #CleanAir Why are we letting our children breathe dirty air? Link (Pg 61): cdn.teachwire.net/e-mag/test/T...

Can @ukhsa.bsky.social @departmentforedu.bsky.social look at this graph please? Quality of life for chn with Chronic Health Conditions (CHC) compared with chn with Paediatric Long Covid (PLC) The QoL for @longcovidkids.bsky.social is MUCH WORSE than chn suffering with other chronic conditions

Still brilliant and (unfortunately) relevant. @mattgreencomedy.com youtu.be/sfSvXhdrr7s?...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social RECORD levels of sickness. Guess what they don't mention? Look at the graph! It is absurd that this whole report won't say it out loud. More ppl are sick (short and long term). Apart from the homeworkers! with.https://bsky.app/profile/annemarie1.bsky.social/post/3lyl46tyogk2f

🚨NEW REPORT🚨 Huge increase in UK sickness absence. The Health & Wellbeing Report 2025 found we now have record levels of sickness. Now 9.4 days per employee. What happened in 2020? A 35 page long report: guess what it doesn't mention as an ongoing cause of employee sickness?

I called @lbc.co.uk to ask Children's Commissioner Rachel De Souza if she has listened to @longcovidkids.bsky.social Does she have have any idea how traumatising it is for a child to be forced into classrooms with ppl who HAVE Covid, when Covid already ruined their childhood? She is NOT listening.

With @greenparty.org.uk internal elections upon us, we offer the following pledges for candidates. We'd love to hear from any of the candidates for any of the roles. Do feel free to respond. #GreenPartyElections I pledge to follow the science on pandemics – I will:

Well said @annemarie1.bsky.social 🫵 #Schools #Absence #ChronicIllness #LongCovid #CovidIsNotOver

Not been on @LBC for a while, but had to call in when I heard @alimiraj.bsky.social talking about #attendance... Listen to me having a bit of a rant about how ridiculous it is to ignore illness as the MAIN reason for pupil absence and what @departmentforedu.bsky.social can do: youtu.be/IWZ2MqKwl1A

Are you HELPING with any of this? @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social I only ask because you seem not to have changed from Tory Covid policies. Any movement on preparation for future pandemics? No I didn't think so. @helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social

I made a short video for #lecturers #academics #teachers #edutwitter Q. What can you do to support learners with #LongCovid? I offer some practical advice on how to create a safer, more accessible environment. Thanks to @timeshighered 🙏💚 www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/pract...

As someone who fell with ME/CFS in an education setting, the need for #cleanairstrategies in schools is pressing! Please check out Anne McConway's article on this very issue! @educatetogether.bsky.social @edmatters4all.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social @intonews.bsky.social @astiunion.bsky.social

THIS! My teacher friends often buy their own hepa filters for classrooms. I also know parents who’ve bought top of the line, quiet hepa filters for schools only to see them sit unused while attendance crashes, and airborn illness abounds. We can and must do better to keep kids and teachers safe.

When I tell my colleagues that they should buy a MERV-13 air filter for their classrooms to try to keep themselves & their students safe, they look at me like I'm nuts, but if I tell them they should buy rope so they can escape out the window from an active shooter, they ask for recommendations

Air quality in schools – Why is it being ignored? | via @annemarie1.bsky.social www.teachwire.net/news/air-qua...

⭐Excited to share this article I wrote for @TeachPrimary magazine! ⭐ I ask WHY #Teachers and #Pupils are STILL left to repeatedly catch airborne diseases in schools when we KNOW that #HEPA filters would reduce sickness and improve #attendance? Full magazine here: cdn.teachwire.net/e-mag/Teach-...

I wrote an article for #EarlyYears educators, but can't share it on here unfortunately as it is a publication which requires a subscription. Just wanted ppl to know that the message is being shared 🙌 www.magonlinelibrary.com/doi/abs/10.1...

I did a bit more digging about a recent BBC news article about how installing air quality monitors had a 'dramatic' effect on health. It is an initiative by @sthelenscouncil (X a/c) and @WarringtonBC (X a/c) called the Healthy Air for Healthy Lungs project. So what's it all about?... 1/thread

How long can they carry on pretending that all these newly disabled ppl are lazy? #LongCovid

We CAN reduce infections. 📌Clean the indoor air in all public spaces. 📌Reintroduce testing and support ppl to stay home when ill. 📌FFP2/3 masks in healthcare. 📌Improved vaccines made available to anyone who wants one. 📌@ONS data collection. Why did the @UKHSA give up?

During this escalating public health crisis, the #LongCovid #LongCovidKids clinics are closing due to the funding being withdrawn. What is the long term plan? Wes Streeting? @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social ? Ignoring a problem doesn't make it magically disappear.

It isn't just 'the vulnerable'. #LongCovid #LongCovidAwareness

How long can we carry on ignoring this? #LongCovid #LongCovidAwareness

Govt: Freedom Day! Public: Millions of us are not recovering from repeated infections. Govt: Govt: Govt: Must urgently cut disability benefits due to a mysterious surge of disability amongst working age people since 2020 which is financially unsustainable. #ItsNotOver #LongCovid #LongCovidAwareness

To mark Long Covid Awareness Day, the Guardian's front page features someone who thought they had Long Covid but actually didn't

Seeing parents step-up as leaders & champions for improving indoor air quality in schools is wonderful; filling the void left by Gov't. In this video, @annemarie1.bsky.social gives a brilliant presentation for parents & teachers to learn more. I enjoyed watching! www.earlyyears.tv/episode/free...

In this interview with @earlyyears.tv we cover: #LongCovidKids #LongCovid #CleanAir #HEPA air filters #CO2monitors The DfE have washed their hands of any responsibility for Indoor Air Quality (pun intended). We have to clean the air for ourselves.🙌 www.earlyyears.tv/episode/free...

Super excited to share this interview with @earlyyears.tv We discuss simple ways to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). I hope it makes ppl think about the air our children are breathing 🙏 💚MONITOR, FILTER, VENTILATE 💚 #LongCovidKids #CleanAir #HEPA #CO2monitor www.earlyyears.tv/episode/free...

Must be the only 'expert' who continually gets the letters in the wrong order. Let me help; ME/CFS. Wow.

And NHS Long Covid programmes are being cut: it's not because people are recovering, there are more and more of us who've got Long Covid and now there's not even any treatment available.

Reason being the government would be faced with figures they really don't want to come to terms with. Remarkable how immature and short-termist the most important people can be sometimes.

Of course it hasn't stood still in the last year, but alas the government has decided to stop counting, just like it did when 2 million people were shown to suffer with in it the ONS report. There is every chance its 150k+ children now and the GP report shows 3.2 million in the UK with Long Covid.

Indeed. I wrote to @mrjamesob.bsky.social about this too. I really hope he puts out a correction. bsky.app/profile/cati...

Hi @mrjamesob.bsky.social, Thanks for discussing Long Covid in children on your show today. As of March 2024, ONS reported that over 111K kids had Long Covid. And that’s just 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. If you extrapolate across the UK, it’s over 120K. The number nearly DOUBLED in a year between Mar 2023 & Mar 2024.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Thank you for talking about #LongCovidKids but you got the numbers wrong. Here is the correct data from March 2024. Inexplicably the government are no longer collecting any data despite the numbers DOUBLING from Mar 23- Mar 24.

Calling #LongCovidKids @mrjamesob.bsky.social is talking about it right now! Call in: 0345 6060973 James got the figures wrong unfortunately, @ONS March 2024 found that 111,816 children (Eng and Scot alone) were suffering with Long Covid. Call in, tell him what is happening.

Yes to this!

New #LongCovid life development. Hiring our own #HBOT chamber. It’s a quite scary, very hot, extremely claustrophobic. Apart from that….it’s great 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ Avoid catching Covid, because TRUST ME you do not want to have to spend your time and money on this 👎

Hoping the new Public Health minister will rectify Andrew Gwynne's mistakes! @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social Letter sent...

Superb webinar from @WHO World Health Organisation about #LongCovid. So informative and evidence based. Wish ALL doctors had to watch it! It discusses effectiveness of a varied tests/treatments being used around the world. A fascinating watch. youtu.be/mFY-o3atDHc

🙇🏼 There is still a covid-19 pandemic. 😷 "To this day, healthcare workers remain inadequately protected; one consequence of which is that one third of NHS healthcare workers now have Long Covid symptoms" 😷 By @annemarie1.bsky.social #LongCovid #Covid-19 #airborne #PPE #healthcare

Well Gwynne just got sacked.
