Of course they are. But we need to understand what that means they are doing in order for us to do ours.

‘Britain is not a nation at ease’. Agree. Britain is several nations not at ease. ‘In places from Warrington to Worcester’? So when you say Britain do you mean England? Grateful for clarification 🙏

Is there perhaps more to say on indoor air and environmental factors?

Thanks for namechecking @inclusivenew.bsky.social's INN the Arts Group's coproduced good practice framework for safety from airborne infection in the arts (DM for a copy). I certainly can't take all the credit! Looking forward to Serina's play - remarkable for itself modelling good practice.
“In the UK, advocacy for clean air in live performance has been growing. Dr. Sally Witcher OBE @salwitcher.bsky.social founder of INN the Arts (“Indoor Safety in the Arts”), has developed a framework of best practices aimed at reducing airborne infection risk in theatres and venues.“

nb that should say I brought a CO2 monitor with me to the Parliament, though I guess I did bring my own CO2 as well, given I breathe it out like everyone else does 😂

6/6 At 1500ppm there's already evidence of clear impairment in strategic thinking, problem solving, and information use. Something politicians may care to reflect on - in a well-ventilated room!

5/6 Indoor air quality was good in the entrance foyer & outside the Committee room when we arrived but OMG 😱 by the end of the first part of the session in the Committee room it was 1802ppm! Very high - well above the 800ppm/ 1000ppm recommended max.

4/6 I took CO2 readings at the Parliament, having been assured "our mechanical ventilation is maintained in accordance with all relevant requirements and monitored by our Facilities Management team. Ongoing monitoring and maintenance ensure a good supply of fresh air is maintained in the building.".

3/6 True, there’s little time pre-election but they could’ve written to the Minister to ask if/how people with specialist expertise in airborne infection & lived experience of clinical vulnerability to airborne infection had been involved in developing the forthcoming infection prevention strategy 🤔

2/6 As expected, they did close it ('reluctantly’), said it was an important issue and urged me to resubmit it after the election [I will, or one very like it].

1/6 This morning, I attended the Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee to learn the fate of my petition calling for protection from airborne infections in health and social care settings. I went armed with a few protections/ visual aids myself – mask, portable HEPA and CO2. 🧵

Great article 🙏! Agree you can't speak truth to power if power controls your words but more importantly you can't speak it to the powerless on whose acquiescence their power is built. The powerful already know what they're doing (so don't need us to point it out). The powerless don't.

It would make such a difference if @who.int started following the science on facemasks (currently fighting this battle in Scotland). The resistance has to be political because the science is extremely clear. Thank you for initiating this and to all who signed. Good luck! Fingers crossed they listen.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless in these incredibly difficult times, but there's so much individuals can do to make a difference locally, on protection from airborne infections, & to build new connections and communities. Come & find out more, share your ideas & experiences 👇
