“Climate change [not El Nino] is the reason to freak out, and ideally in a constructive way by doing something about it. We have the knowledge and technology to go very, very far away from using fossil fuels.” - Friederike Otto, climate scientist, Imperial College

Well that's a relief. If it had? www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

Clean the air FFS.

The government has learned nothing. In 2024 the NHS England strategy stated that it would be a 'waste of resources' to try and stop another airborne respiratory pandemic spreading.

We are still here…

Political denialism will compound these issues. We need to live in reality and it’s tough. We should have taken action years ago but it’s never too late to act.

Weather changes caused by #ClimateChange are driving this.

Climate Change will drive more viruses to our doorstep. We aren’t in Kansas anymore this ended in 2020, possibly even earlier. We need #CleanAir and health messaging on respirators. www.assaygenie.com/blog/the-env...

Long COVID is a significant public health concern in Brazil, with extensive studies revealing a Post-COVID Condition (PCC) prevalence ranging between 50% and 75% among adults who were infected, and even higher rates for previously hospitalized patients. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... 32% of people in Brazil, those most vulnerable now have a lower quality of life due to long Covid symptoms. Long Covid is a global health crisis and vaccine misinformation has been devastating. The Pandemic accord meeting is taking place in May. 🧵

www.gavi.org/vaccineswork... The least vaccinated countries highlight the risks from infections. It’s not in the press. Brazil has high covid deaths in children!

It is clear who’ll survive less harmed from this period if you look at the behaviours of the wealthy & politically powerful - they’ve installed engineering for clean air from early on - the 1st people I saw in FFP3’s were politicians - I could go on, just want to say I’m tagging along for my health

The reluctance to discuss this by politicians is going to lead to history repeating itself.

6 years on I shouldn’t be needing to post because there is still nothing learnt and we still have the incorrect guidance in place, which if not changed will eventually undoubtedly lead to history repeating itself in another airborne Pandemic. Not to mention the long covid damage.

Those not looking at this are looking away from preventable infection, preventable disability, preventable death.

Many people won’t be voting for them because of this. I know I won’t be.

If Labour MPs were going to do the right thing they would talk about the Covid inquiry and guidance changing.

Keir Starmer's political failure comes down to one issue above all others: his unwillingness to put the public interest ahead of the demands of the oligarchs, corporations and foreign governments who lobby him. Whoever replaces him had better be prepared to stand up for us, or Labour's finished.

Not to mention Labour still hasn’t updated the Covid guidance so I have lost all respect.

Meanwhile I think Labour need to do Labour. This is why I’m voting Green. 💚

The Mayor told the BBC that “the system does need fundamental reform and we have a large amount of agreement with the Government on that” – but he argued the pace and scale of the cuts went too far.

inews.co.uk/news/politic... I’m on the fence on Andy Burnham. This article left me with some concerns. What we really need to see is someone who is really strongly opposed to Labours move to neoliberalism.

Weather changes caused by #ClimateChange are driving this.

Mitigate for one, mitigate for all. We must be prepared and we aren’t. The world is changing at a rapid rate and we must adapt to protect ourselves. pressat.co.uk/releases/cov...

Covid is airborne Hantavirus is airborne So many viruses are airborne and the guidance is currently incorrect. Unless we want to repeat the deaths we saw with Covid our government must learn lessons. We currently are unprepared! This should concern everyone.

Please write to your council and MPs.

We need more Public support for action on outcomes of the covid inquiry. Please repost 🙏 This will impact everyone. pressat.co.uk/releases/cov...

Already we aren’t hearing about airborne transmission

Trump needs to be removed from office. His decisions put the rest of the world at risk. Congress needs to step up. www.news18.com/world/stiff-...

Scientists rock. That's it.

I really don’t think anyone who is on the cabinet should be there without qualifications or significant experience within the area they are representing. This has been shown to be a key problem with Covid and so many other things. Or we are heading for an RFK situation.
