Six years of being ignored.

Four CVF members set the record straight.
Starting with @larawong.bsky.social sharing our official statement:

From last week and this is why it’s so important to prevent an infection and that everywhere is mitigated for airborne transmission.
Now the NHS has been opened up to Private Equity expect the same within the health service...
ie Profit before Care
Worth viewing Reddit - search for ‘newly diagnosed with long Covid’ or ‘just diagnosed with long Covid’ and you will sadly discover that from recent infections this is an ongoing thing. Not consigned to the official Pandemic period but ongoing.

Man in checked shirt holding a CO2 monitor and explaining that increased levels of CO2 prolong the life of viruses.
This is Al Haddrell aerosol scientist explaining how CO2 levels affect the infectivity of Sars CoV2 (C19). Long story short - open windows. Let’s hope the Module 3 Covid inquiry report reminds us all how important clean air is.

CATA has found via FoI requests that government bodies did not fully disclose vital evidence to COVID Inquiry. They ignored views of PHE that airborne precautions should have been available to all HCWs. WHY?
CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) has today issued this press release ahead of next Thursday's publication of the Inquiry's module 3 report:

Important @ukhsa.bsky.social update for people who use medical wipes:
We need more Paulas in the world at the moment. Listen to the end of the speech.
Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."
A total of 1,001,509 index patients with COVID-19 and 207,090 with influenza met the inclusion criteria. Transmission rates were highest among index patients aged <12 years (COVID-19, 40.17%; influenza, 33.51%). Transmission from children was disproportionately high, while age-combination analysis demonstrated elevated transmission both from and to children for both diseases. COVID-19 exhibited increased transmission among adults. As the primary drivers of household transmission for both COVID-19 and influenza, preventive strategies should be tailored to children. COVID-19 interventions must also address transmission among adults to strengthen household-level infection control.
Surprise! (Not)
And guess where those index-case kids were infected? School/daycare!
We know how to prevent this. And choose not to 🤬

📍 Move it just 15cm away (a hand's length) and you're back to 100%. Small tweak, big difference.
