Replacing the 2+ year old hepa in the kids bedroom. New filter at left in both images; Old filter pre-external dust removal (left image; we do this every few months) & after dust removal (right image). As this shows, indoor air is not clean unless you make it so, often containing particles like allergens & smoke, & of course airborne pathogens incl. common cold viruses, flu, RSV, measles, TB and COVID. The kids spend 11 hours a day in that room so it's worth cleaning (as is the whole house). We all spend on average 90% of our time indoors yet there are no standards for clean indoor air; unlike outdoor air, drinking water and food that are all heavily regulated. The recent advances published in @ScienceMagazine & by @WHO are so significant in this regard. It's long overdue for policy action to take breathing clean air from a personal responsibility to a public health right. And it's also excellent airborne pandemic preparedness.

Samantha Murphy was a business woman, an athlete, a valued theatrical community member, a mother, sibling and daughter who was so loved by her community that they searched for her for weeks - allegedly murdered by some #goodbloke whose parentage is totally fucking irrelevant. 🖕🏽

Most, incl our govts, have no idea that it's as a big a deal as it is, despite the herculean efforts of the likes of rolled-gold experts like @EricTopol & @chrischirp. There is a way out as this terrific piece touches on. But we first must acknowledge the scale of the challenge

A timely reminder that #COVID19 is not “a respiratory illness”. It is a systemic illness with potential for long term vascular, neurological and immunological consequences. Take care out there

With so much C0VID around, pls re-read this Oz gov report. Its 9 recs are powerful. It says #LongCovid is serious & is already widespread, & that we must do more to help those already unwell, & to prevent more cases. And it's a blueprint for action. aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_…
