What an awful mess the NHS is in. Nearly two thirds of staff working while sick. This is risking patient and staff safety. The government guidance needs updating to reflect COVID is airborne and management and unions need to push back please! www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Wearing a respirator is easy. You don’t have to look medical there are many folks making beautiful fabric covers, beautiful jewellery to go on them. You can get ffp2/3 in black and mauve quite easily. Cambridge masks are good for out and about day to day, washable. I wear an ffp2/3 Aura on public 🧵

The other day, I was accosted (not in an unfriendly manner but intentionally addressed) on a station platform in Berlin by a man who said that my FFP2 - he described it correctly and explicitly - was stopping me from getting fresh air. I relatively politely invited him to mind his own business.

The numbers seem small but the cross over from birds to humans is extremely dangerous for potential pandemic infections. Our HHS will not be prepared in anyway for a highly contagious airborne disease. I just hope there’s enough science left in our country to fight this

So we have a situation where a German minister (a couple of years ago) for health stepped forward and warned of ‘incurable immune damage from COVID’ then the next day he retracted this statement. As someone has just pointed out Germany is still failing to roll boosters. No one steps forward and

Meanwhile the covid inquiry rattles on and we are supposed to ignore that one health minister came out with this in the media. We have fallen down a rabbit hole. You only have to look at the US and RFK to see that. We need to separate ourselves from this in the UK.

I was watching the video of the German minister for health Prof. Karl Lauterbach again this morning. Now the situation is far from perfect there either but given the silence on COVID at least one man had the guts to get up and tell the population it was causing neurological damage and heart damage.🧵

And the way they write it, even the twenty that were healthy were not numerous enough to be worried about… when almost all of these deaths, were likely preventable (including those with underlying conditions).

I have watched in horror for five years while the government and the media has casually talked about ‘only vulnerable’ dying it’s not ok. This is how the Overton window moved.

Who asked clinically vulnerable if we were ok with this? The turning point where preventable deaths were forgotten. What about layered mitigations? Clean Air & vaccines. Why didn’t #RightToLife apply to COVID? #ECHR
