Acquaintance was ill with Covid a week ago. Several people say “rest properly don’t mess with Covid”. They say yes you’re right. A week later they have just run a long distance race. I hope they are ok long term. Why can people not rest for two weeks? It wasn’t the Olympics.

Same journey, two very different PM2.5 readings on the London Underground today.
📍 Bond Street: 6.5 µg/m³
📍 Westminster: 241 µg/m³
That's 37 times higher in the space of a few stops!
Testing the new portable AirGradient Go, which will soon be available on our website
ALT Image shows handheld AirGradient Go air quality monitor at Bond Street Underground station, showing a PM2.5 reading of 6.5 µg/m³ and CO2 of 932 ppm.
ALT Image shows handheld AirGradient Go air quality monitor on the London Underground at Westminster station, showing a significantly higher PM2.5 reading of 241 µg/m³ and CO2 of 767 ppm.

London is a place where people of every creed, colour and culture live together in peace and mutual respect. A city where a council estate kid with immigrant parents can become Mayor.
That’s the reason some don’t want our modern, multicultural, progressive metropolis to succeed.

The PCR positivity map is out, and it's evident that everywhere is seeing a significant surge.
UKHSA positivity has risen to 11.83%.
Adjusted for non-reporting areas, we make that 13.77%.

Why do we need to open a window @UKHSA? Are flu and Covid airborne? Better let @GwynneMP know. Also where’s the recommended for FFP2/3’s to reduce the risk of being infected?
Lots of infections like #Flu spread easily during winter. If you're unwell, there are actions you can take to reduce the risk of passing on infections to others. 🤧

Veřejné zdraví v BC, Kanada. Roušky jsou opět vyžadovány všude, kde se pacientům dostává péče, aby se zabránilo šíření chřipky, RSV a COVID-19, protože podle úřadů přibývá případů respiračních onemocnění.
Povinnost se vztahuje na nemocnice, zařízení pro dlouhodobou péči a asistované bydlení, ambulantní kliniky a zařízení ambulantní péče a očekává se, že zůstane v platnosti, dokud se riziko onemocnění nesníží, pravděpodobně na jaře. globalnews.ca/news/10949189/…

One for the ‘lessons not learned from Covid’ file:
💨Improving ventilation in hospitals
😷 Requiring masks in hospitals at the start of respiratory virus seasons/waves
💉 Making it easier for people -including NHS staff to get vaccines and more strongly encouragjng uptake
🦠Numbers in hospital with flu in England continues to rise - average of 5,408 patients in beds each day last week, incl 256 in critical care.
That's up 21% from 4,469 the previous week and nearly five times number on Dec 1 when total stood at 1,098.
Prof Sir Stephen Powis, NHS national medical director, said it was hard to quantify “how tough it is for frontline staff at the moment – with some working in A&E saying that their days at work feel like some of the days we had during the height of the pandemic”.

It's simple really, we believe that work should pay enough to live on.
We're not alone either! There are over 15,000 employers across the UK who are going a step beyond to ensure their staff can meet their needs with a real Living Wage.

Ask Wes Streeting why so few people are eligible for a Covid booster compared to the US @ShelaghFogarty
Ask him why the latest @UKHSA dashboard looks like a blatant attempt at downplaying Covid by not comparing like with like

Dr. Khan knows Covid is rife and he knows ventilation and clean air helps reduce infections.
Bridget Phillipson knows too. She told us in Opposition.
If you’re really serious about prevention and improving our health and the NHS, Wes Streeting, get clean air into schools now.

Wes Streeting has been talking about how important prevention is with regard to our health and the NHS.
So why is official Government policy on ‘living with COVID-19’ the exact opposite?
Why aren’t we reducing SARS-COV-2 infections through measures like clean air in schools?
Honestly, I have absolutely no idea how you can genuinely look at this graph and not understand that ongoing waves of constant repeat covid infection are a principal cause of the actual devastating increase in long term disability.
How can people be in such staggering denial?

These are @TheGreenParty’s new COVID-19 policies.
The Government’s ‘living with COVID-19’ approach is causing death and disability instead of preventing it.
Now is the time to step up @AdrianRamsay

Wow. The hard right Government in Italy can offer Covid vaccines to everyone aged 6 months and up, but the U.K. can’t.
The US also offer everyone a Covid vaccine.
