Fred Cuming was considered one of the finest landscape painters of his generation. Much of his work celebrates southern English coastlines; the sea and skies of Hastings, Rye or Camber as here, illuminated by dawn, dusk, or glowing moonlight.

Also awaiting: NHS to acknowledge airborne transmission, ventilate and install air filters in healthcare settings ( as per recommendations in Covid Inquiry report) + to use appropriate PPE. Also for schools to finally start using correct mitigations knowing that Covid isn’t inconsequential in kids.

SARS-CoV-2 sequences submitted today w/age data: BA.3.2 — 15/17 seqs ages 0-17 non-BA.3.2 — 5/20 seqs ages 0-17 From South Korea & USA, MD. BA.3.2's propensity for children undeniable at this point. Not sure there's any point belaboring it anymore. Awaiting @ukhsa.bsky.social BA.3.2 report.

It’s been 18 days @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

So many of us who advocated for N95s were told to avoid COVID by hand washing. This apology doesn’t rectify the ongoing problem; the general population still thinks COVID isn’t airborne and even our hospitals aren’t instituting masking to protect our most vulnerable patients. #CovidIsAirborne

The UK Covid Inquiry (Module 3) confirms what we lived through - an overstretched system, unsafe care, and lives put at risk. Our voices were ignored! We need accountability, reform, and protection for those most at risk - before the next crisis hits... 1/2 HT @gillianrs.bsky.social

For #Vancouver #immunocompromised airborne-aware gang, this dentist www.4thavenuedental.ca has special immunocompromised patient days, N95s, HEPAs, minimal staff, no other patients (h/t @chantzy.bsky.social, I think?) I was able to book within a week. Currently, no long waits :-)

We raced back to ‘normality’ as quickly as possible, because of “the economy - stupid!”. Look where it got us. And we still don’t invest in measures to prevent Long Covid.

A study in Communications Medicine finds that Long COVID’s disability burden rivals that of Alzheimer’s and asthma in the US, but Long COVID receives 14% of its years lived with disability-proportionate funding from the National Institutes of Health. go.nature.com/4v23Nzv #medsky 🧪

Grateful for this article on the @defendpublichealth.bsky.social People’s Health Platform by @melodyschreiber.com. Great quotes from @drpanmd.bsky.social. If you want to read more about our platform, this one’s for you!

Let's hope so 🤞.

We were told to only wash our hands and wear inadequate gappy masks and sing happy birthday for a predominantly airborne virus. Think about what this means. It explains fully why masks didn’t work and how we should have been advised to wear ones that seal to the face (ffp2/3). Knowing this should 🧵

"9.6 million UK workers are to benefit from the changes to sick pay rules." They will be paid from day 1, and no longer need to earn over £125 a day. This will disproportionately benefit Clinically Vulnerable workers managing chronic health. @kalyeena.bsky.social

...As a science teacher, I'm thrilled about the Orion heading to the moon. I'm a child again enthralled by the thought of space flight. I played the launch in class & we discussed the need to protect the thin layer of air, water & soil that wraps around our precious home, the earth

The upshot: The FDA demanded new placebo studies in order to approve a 2026-2027 shot for folks aged 50-64 who aren't high-risk. But Pfizer and BioNTech needed to recruit ~ 25,000 to 30,000 study participants who weren't high risk, & they couldn't get enough... 🧵 www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Reminder that CSA Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is among us who wear respirator masks in 2026 - along with NASA staff at today's launch! 🚀 They know what's up

It’s not a vaccine but US parents increasingly rejecting a potentially life saving shot of vitamin K for their newborns. This helps stop babies developing uncontrolled bleeds as babies vitk deficient. Rising anti vaccine and anti medicine discourse likely contributor to this phenomenon 😔

I remember all these reports- the ferrets, the choir, the isolation hotel, the mall - and thought any day now they’ll get into cleaning air. Sadly seems i’m still waiting. Can only think it’s to avoid liability. And face.

4. Even though the Covid inquiry admitted last week that the guidance has been incorrect and that Covid is airborne, the press have still not mentioned preventions for airborne risk. No messaging from the government. No attempt to protect us. Same old inadequate guidance which is not safeguarding

Our ask is simple - before more detailed plans: ✅ Be clear on “Clinically Vulnerability” ✅ Guarantee early protective actions ✅ Include CVF voices in planning ✅ Implement indoor air quality standards We need urgent action to recognise and deliver essential protections. 19/

The government just published its Pandemic Preparedness Strategy. TLDR: Some welcome commitments inc. on ventilation. But Clinically Vulnerable people are still not clearly defined or automatically protected, and the prioritisation framework won't arrive until 2027. 1/🧵

Young people "went further than formal guidance,with reports suggesting mask-wearing. Far from showing fatigue or apathy towards govt intervention,many across the country sought more information &expertise from govt,as well as demanding more #vaccination clinics for young people" #Meningitis

from the UK Covid inquiry. #covidisairborne Stop ignoring airborne transmission of viruses, medical world. similar to the finding of the 2007 SARS Campbell Commission. If we fail this a third time, going forward, we are truly unable to learn.

I don't usually post about students at school, but today a student said I had "Aura" and asked me for a hi-five. I'm pretty sure he didn't know what he was talking about.

Thank you for keeping on this. Will you cover their findings on the wrong guidance from the ipc? This is crucial because healthcare continues to cite this guidance when asked for infection control measures.

"to ignore the findings of the Inquiry - to refuse to learn from the evidence and the pain - disrespects the sacrifices of those who held key services together and those who died. It would devalue all of us - and leave us as unprepared for the next pandemic as we were for this one."

Safe Air Schools are grateful for the opportunity to submit evidence in line with our mission to ensure clean air in schools and playgrounds remains central to key discussions and decisions. 1/

The Covid Inquiry still wiping down lecterns rather than taking measures against airborne spread of covid. Telling.

New version of our infographic on Diseases from pathogens than can be transmitted through the air we breath. We took into account proposals: change of colours, addition of Neisseria meningitidis and indication of vaccines recommended for children in the USA by the Centers for diseases control.

We showed up to the Covid Inquiry masked, carrying our own air filters. Last week, the healthcare report confirmed everything we said. Our founder @lara_wong on what we have won - and what comes next... www.clinicallyvulnerable.org/post/covid-i...

The Covid Inquiry Module 3 report has ordered that: “In future, guidance should assume that ALL plausible routes of transmission are possible until sufficient evidence proves otherwise.” There are no excuses anymore. The govt MUST NOT make the same mistakes again. We MUST learn from the past.
