At open day, meeting people who want to use their discovery credits to study a language as part of their degree. So far have been asked about Accounting with Spanish as discovery and Fine art/art history with Italian. Info about all 17 languages is here: leeds.ac.uk/lfa

Within this lens: Our goal as teachers is to help our students build their LTM, and the way we do this is by harnessing and directing their WM. The more we understand WM, the better we can wield it.

3. Self-isolate. If you are symptomatic, don’t go out and about spreading it everywhere. It is also worth trying to isolate yourself from those you live with if you can. It is far from inevitable that if you get it the rest of your family will. Windows, mask for contact, isolate.

2. Ventilate. Covid has been so successful in part due to its ability to hang in the air for many hours. This means even if no one is around in a public enclosed space you should wear a mask. But opening a door or a window really helps.

Hardly anyone today wearing masks apart from me - on trains and buses. Meanwhile we’ve had one bereavement with covid yesterday.

Replying to @danielgoyal
So, 1. Mask-up. FFP2 or FFP3 are better and are standard in some other countries. Most find them more comfortable. Keep one in your pocket and put it on when entering enclosed public spaces.

We are all fed up with Covid, but it’s here, and to protect ourselves and our families we need to face it. And it actually requires minimal effort to reduce the risks. Let’s start with what to do if you get Covid… 🧵 1/20

I think we need urgent answers to these questions. In the meantime, I'd strongly recommend not exposing yourself to a virus that leads to persistence in what seems to be a significant proportion of people - given we don't know the long-term implications yet.

This study showed that 28 inflammatory markers combined predicted long COVID at 8 months with 80% accuracy (this is for those who're still saying long COVID is psychosomatic!). So inflammatory markers separate out those with and without long COVID. nature.com/articles/s41590-0….

The researchers detected the spike protein in 60% of the long COVID patients at multiple points up to 12 months (blue points and lines in figure below) post-infection but *not at all* in the COVID-19 post-infection but not long COVID patients
