@JOHNJOHNSTONED @kakape @JeremyFarrar @doctorsoumya @trishgreenhalgh @mvankerkhove @DrTedros @vismitag @albertareporter @mattwridley @Arbuthnott I believed droplet transmission for flu, cold viruses, etc. But N of 1: I was a prodigious hand washer for decades. I taught hand hygiene to HCWs. I still got 1 cold, 1 bronchitis, 1 sore throat per year, flu every 4-5 years. Since 2020 using N95: Not one!

Hi @kallmemeg could you please explain what UKHSA mean by 'low levels' in this post? Is there a scale and how is it graduated? And is there consistency in reporting levels across infectious diseases? x.com/ukhsa/status/1…

I understand adults have chosen to play Russian roulette with SARS2 infections and their health. I’m not coming to terms with this being forced on children. We should be protecting children, then at 18+ they can decide if avoidable disability and an early death is also for them.

If it is astounding to you that 4,300 billionaires have $12tn and still half of the planet are living without clean water and electricity. I suggest you wake up and understand that extreme poverty is due to extreme wealth.

I understand adults have chosen to play Russian roulette with SARS2 infections and their health. I’m not coming to terms with this being forced on children. We should be protecting children, then at 18+ they can decide if avoidable disability and an early death is also for them.
Worryingly, the data suggests that the number of children with Long Covid is steadily increasing with each passing month… …from 84k in December 2023 to over 111k in March 2024! It’s risen by A THIRD in just 3 months.
