Lyn was a busy health professional, one of the thousands who now has Long Covid. We need to protect our health workers with #CleanAir or more will joining Lyn in being unable to work, feeling like she has been hit by a bus.
pleased to share with you my invited commentary on The Lancet ID about the las test publication on the link between SARS-CoV-2 and #longcovid. Happy to know your thoughts and feedbacks. Long COVID and SARS-CoV-2 persistence: new answers, more questions thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
1/ Kudos to Matthew Oliver, Mark Ungrin, & Joe Vipond. It's an opinion piece, but rooted in logic and truth. For an airborne infectious disease you lower inhalation dose & the ways to do so don't require empirical RCTs. Basic engineering science will do. scientificamerican.com/article/masks-…

Wonderful of @radionz to hold space for our us today. For those suffering, there is hope. We are working very hard in the background to create tools. If you have ways to help us seek funding to develop some of these, please get in touch. rnz.co.nz/national/progr…
When we talk about policy that sends kids and adults to school and work sick, we have to talk about our legal health and safety obligations - which is to ensure safe schools/workplaces. Media, please cover this when reporting on the new guidelines in NZ.
@dbseymour, there's a way to improve the economy and increase attendance by decreasing respiratory infection. Check out 'Corsi-Rosenthal boxes'. Cheap, quiet, and *highly* effective fan filters for classrooms/workrooms. Clean air = less flu, measles, Covid, RSV, etc. Win-win.
Small reminder to parents: a ‘minor infectious respiratory illness’ to your kid could EASILY send a disabled kid to hospital.
It's getting increasingly difficult to keep my cool on here after reading headlines like this. What tf did people expect would happen when you give a SARS virus free rein? Lower hospital numbers? Superhuman children? The kids are not alright. I'm sick of saying this.

Things that would meaningfully improve school attendance: - Install clean air systems in all classrooms - Provide free school lunches - Strengthen primary care - Eliminate child poverty - Invest in healthy housing Things that won’t: - Fining parents for kids’ absences

7% of kids are absent from school on average, due to illness - up from 4.5% pre-COVID 1.1% for other justified reasons. 1.6% for unjustified reasons. 1.3% holidays. 1.4% truancy. 1.9% unknown Don't waste time & money on a complex system to fine parents. Invest in kids' health.
Around the world, Indigenous organisations stepped up to protect their communities when the pandemic arrived. Non-Indigenous leaders & public health bodies have so much to learn from these highly effective models that were often underfunded and unsupported by central governments.

“If five years ago, we were to imagine that a completely new disease, which for some can cause medium- to long-term and potentially disabling symptoms in approximately 3% of the population…we would be enormously concerned.” My comments in @guardian theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
This is important. Incredible that this is being largely ignored.
I’m neither a politician nor an economist, but finding it hard to see how it could be good to have 3% of the workforce long term unwell to #LongCovid, yet no moves to acknowledge, mitigate, research or treat?
Allow me to complete this sentence: “The scientific community has acknowledged an urgent need to understand more about [long COVID] in children,” according to the report” WHILE PREVENTING MORE CHILDREN FROM DEVELOPING LONG COVID. #precautionary principle

If I had known how… then even before COVID I would have been on here asking for the communities help to reduce the winter carnage…
Also how did a child who was known to be Covid positive before showing up expose a whole ED to measles? Did they just not care if he exposed everyone to Covid? He should never have exposed anyone to anything.

@AmandaKvalsvig @JimBethell @RSylvesterTimes @Smyth_Chris Amazing! Thank you, @AmandaKvalsvig. I truly hope @JimBethell takes you up on this offer as your report was extremely powerful and insightful. (PS. Lord Bethell is quite active on Twitter but may not reply immediately as he’s busy running the London Marathon tomorrow!)
30 years ago today teenage Andrew started dating his one and only gf, now wife. Yes, I am one of those. My disabled kid's TA has a side hustle as a cake maker - she replicated our wedding cake. Reader: We have a winner.
@JimBethell @_CatintheHat @RSylvesterTimes @Smyth_Chris It is an excellent report. @AmandaKvalsvig one of the authors is active here if you want to reach out to her for more insight.
@JimBethell @RSylvesterTimes @Smyth_Chris Thank you 😊. For the TL:DR, please see Appendix 2 which outlines the key aspects of the strategy proposed ⬇️
Appendix 2 provides further details of the proposed components for Covid mitigation, including: ▪️Support for self-isolation of infected cases ▪️Improve indoor air quality ▪️Maintain mask use in high-risk indoor environments eg health care ▪️High & equitable vax coverage /10
@_CatintheHat @RSylvesterTimes @Smyth_Chris I will give it a read. Thank you.
