I second @GhostOfSocrates. We need clean air infrastructure incorporated into building standards; culture changes where ppl want others to stay healthy so test before attending crowded events and stay at home and/or mask with FFPs when ill; paid sick leave to enable this etc 1/2

So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨).
At least it’s online. Reshare.

This feels like an important breakthrough moment…
On the BBC News this evening, Medical Editor @BBCFergusWalsh clearly stated:
“As for facemasks, simple surgical masks are *not* good at stopping viruses. You really need a properly fitted tight respirator mask for that”…

I don't usually tell stories about my kids but I've got to tell this one. My 8yr old lad really unexpectedly announced that he wanted to go for election to his school council.
His pitch? Clean Air. I was literally stunned.

I find it bleakly amusing when commentators remark on how “even doctors” say people are overdiagnosed with mental illness etc. As if the medical profession hasn’t repeatedly been at the forefront of dismissing and gaslighting disabled patients, especially women. Wildly ignorant.

I hope everyone understands this isn't a drill. He is serious and his people will try to make it happen, even if they say otherwise right now.

CATA has written to the Minister, respectfully advising her that, as per her predecessor (Gwynne), she’s been badly advised.
One can only speculate whether by DHSC, UK-HSA or the NHS/IPC “droplet, not airborne” dogmatists.

Q. Now the scientific consensus is #CovidIsAirborne & @WHO ADMITS they made a terrible mistake saying airborne mitigations weren't required, when will @NHSuk update our Infection Control Guidelines?
UK Govt: We prefer the old @WHO guidance thanks. Stop asking.

We did say as early as 2020 that letting a SARS virus to rip was going to have unfathomable costs
Rising cost of sickness and disability benefits is "devastating" for public finances, PM Keir Starmer says

Dear @UKLabour
You don’t ‘incentivise’ someone with serious mental illness by taking away their means to survive.
Hunger doesn’t spark ambition. Fear doesn’t fuel opportunity.
Strip support and you don’t create workers—you create worse anxiety, despair, collapse.

“Benefit cuts with a red rosette are no different from those stained blue. And yet cuts signed off by a Labour government are in a sense particularly brutal. They come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal.”

It’s worth really pausing on this: the Health Secretary is going on the BBC stating that people who have mental health conditions don’t really have them - they’re just being “over diagnosed” by doctors. This is beyond cuts to benefits. This is casting doubt on scientific reality.
"There's an over-diagnosis [of mental heath problems]"
Heath Secretary Wes Streeting says "there are too many people being written off" from work with mental health issues and "too many people aren't getting the support they need"

Sweden, that country that supposedly didn’t lock down at all….
….apparently have “immunity debt” from having been locked down for five years.

Läkaren Johan Styrud i morgonsoffan Nyhetsmorgon @TV4 om influensan.
"Vi ska komma ihåg att vi har haft 5 år då samhället har varit stängt. Så de unga har inte fått den immunitet de är vana vid."

Reading The Times report on speculated PIP cuts, I’m struck by not only how many people will lose vital support but how much we are already degraded to qualify. Have a stranger ask you about washing “below the waist” and then tell us how easy it is to claim disability benefits.
ALT Needing help to wash your hair or your body below the waist would not meet the new threshold while needing help to wash your upper body would. Needing help going to the lavatory is above the threshold, but needing reminding to go would fall below it. Needing prompting to engage with other people face to face would not meet the new test; needing help to do so would.

The Times reports people will only be eligible for PIP if they score at least 4 points ***in a single activity***. This specifically discriminates against people with mental illness, who generally score fewer points across multiple areas. It would be an absolute disaster. 1/3

So I work at a museum, and it’s pretty central in my city
They have events twice a month that usually get a big turnout (over 1k people)
I’ve been leaving out my “Why Am I Always Sick??” zines at a pamphlet table and every time I come back after the events, ALL of them are gone
