Another brilliant thread by our behatted feline friend! As a health & safety practitioner, when investigating accidents & incidents, we're taught to always identify the 'root cause'. This thread identifies the root cause of why so many people get Covid-19 in hospitals (esp HCWs)

“HCWs should have had lower rates of infection than the general pop as they should have been protected during work time”

To rewrite Klompas was correct. It was closeness of HCWs to infected, particularly symptomatic people, for periods of time which exposed under protected HCWs. HCWs should have had lower rates of infection than the general pop as they should have been protected during work time

They don’t track it for the other UK nations anymore. They don’t want us to know.

It’s a shame they’re not reporting nosocomial (hospital-acquired) Covid infections anymore in England. I guess they don’t want people constantly pointing out how their current infection controls (handwashing) don’t do a lot to prevent the spread of AIRBORNE viruses.

What’s the data for the other UK nations? IPC specialists, what is it in your trust?

Of all the patients currently in hospital with Covid in Wales, 74% of them were admitted to hospital for a different reason & ended up being infected with Covid DURING THEIR HOSPITAL STAY. This is the inevitable consequence having NO airborne infection controls in hospitals.

I've been looking at the evidence statement submitted to @covidinquiryuk by Prof. Cath Noakes. I'd highly recommend @GwynneMP does the same. However, it would make it very clear how disingenuous you have been in the letter written to @timfarron. Let's look at some examples; 1/🧵

Amanda given that most of the viruses you mentioned are airborne, why hasn’t NHSE declared FFP2/3 respiratory mandates as per WHO advice for all hospitals to try &contain spread from patient to patient, patient to staff & staff to patients & reduce nosocomial acquired infection?
