IMPORTANT: Healthy indoor air has become a human right.
⬇️ 🧪 #healthpolicy
Thanks @luckytran.com
Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.

Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

On this World Suicide Prevention Day, I remember my peerless and extraordinary cousin Dan Kay and miss him greatly. Such a kind, generous and thoughtful man. Failed by the services which should have protected him. Far more needs to be done and understood #bemoredan #WSPD 💜

Prof Susan Hopkins #covidinquiry says this guidance was ‘clunky language’.

No: it provided false & deadly reassurance to care providers.

1000’s of care home residents, staff & those receiving home care died, including my mum.

That was the government-issued advice to Care providers in February 2020.

Just weeks later, the first Care Home residents would begin to die from COVID-19.

The Care module of the Covid Inquiry has shown that reform of the care sector cannot wait.

If there were another pandemic today, the care sector would be in a WORSE position than in 2020.

A salutory and tragic lesson. The rescue dog my cousin Dan bought, & the unscrupulous woman who supplied it, significantly impacted his mental health in the weeks before he sadly took his own life. Please be careful where you buy your dog 💜

Can't thank everyone involved in organising this event and everyone donating enough. Dan would have been hugely proud. We are. This incredible amount will make such a difference. Massive thanks also to the Williams family for letting us be part of a day which means so much to them 💜
