H/T Gina on x This is the health advice in New York on our current situation. The Public are being advised to wear an N95/ffp2 respirator. This is the correct advice. The disparity between this advice which is correct for airborne transmission and UKHSA saying wear an FRSM is huge.

It is so frustrating. I have friends who are amongst the few masking, confident that their surgical masks are protecting them. It does not make it easier to suggest they need better masks when this is what we are being shown in Scotland: www.nhsggc.scot/nhsggc-encou...

‘The patriarchy runs deep’: women still getting a raw deal in the workplace as equality remains a dream

We’re only beginning to understand the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2. Prevention still works, and the tools exist — masks, clean air, testing, and policy action. We just have to use them. Read the full WHN article → whn.global/long_covid/l... #COVID #COVID19 #PublicHealth #InfectionPrevention

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days True work life balance Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

I have not forgotten about the Epstein files. Have you?

Even if HPV only caused cancer in people with cervixes, it would be essential to vaccinate people without cervixes because they can carry and spread the virus. You don't control infectious diseases by only vaccinating the people who might die, you control them by vaccinating everyone.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s. This is the power of vaccines. The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer. Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Got access to a hardware store and some computer fans and at least one opposable thumb? You could be the one who brings a nearly silent 2nd gen CR Box to the family gathering. "Izzat some kinda COVID thing?" "It sits quietly by the dinner table and bothers nobody, Uncle Frank. Take a lesson."

Fun fact: No one’s going to test before your holiday gathering. Not for Covid. Not for Flu. Not for RSV. But you could. You could show them how it’s done.

The Covid inquiry’s findings are shocking but unsurprising now, so the main thing it left me thinking is that without a vaccine we wd’ve been utterly screwed. & if you worked round the clock to make a thing that saved millions of lives globally, to see that legacy trashed by anti-vaxxers…
