Zoë Garbett Can you also champion the public health measures that will help to prevent thousands more chn developing #LongCovidKids ? This Office for National Statistics (ONS) data is frankly terrifying. Yet, we do nothing? 🤯 clean air in ALL classrooms 📣 x.com/_catinthehat/s…

🚨 ONS Winter Coronavirus Infection Study‼️

111,816 children (3-17) are now experiencing #LongCovidKids
Of which nearly 21,000 have their daily activities 'limited a lot'!

NOTE these are approx double the rates of March 2023 when the previous survey was stopped

🚨If a child has #LongCvd and their daily activity is limited ALOT it's likely they meet #ME criteria
🚨That's 10 000 more with a severe, terrible disease than this time last year
🚨This is a public health disaster that's being ignored
It's Unf*ckingacceptable

🌷Nathalie Elodie #HealthySchools Nathan Wood Douglas Booker Prof Cath Noakes #Ventilate 😷 💙 Richard Corsi, PhD, PE (Texas) Ruth Brooker HEPA filters can augment ventilation and help to reduce the airborne viral transmission risk. They cannot obviate the need for fresh air however, and rooms still need to be regularly aired. If you know the vent rate and filter efficiency the benefit can be easily calculated.

Classrooms with those in need of extra protection could have specific air purifiers. Mandate full IAQ monitoring whilst we're at it - that's my wish list anyway

We levitated the Delta variant in air that had various levels of CO2 and measured the infectivity. Any increase in the concentration of CO2 was found to result in an increase the virus’s aerostability. At higher concentrations, the difference became more significant.

Using a Wells-Riley model, the time until there is a 50% chance that at least one susceptible person will become infected in a classroom containing a single infected person was estimated. Values are not absolute; rather, the trend of how CO2 conc affects the odds of transmission.

🔴 No wonder school absence rates are so high. New research shows;

🟡 High indoor CO2 extends the time viruses in aerosols remain infectious &

🔵 Rates of #LongCovid in kids are now approx double what they were when the previous survey was stopped last year

I’m excited to discuss our latest research on how ambient CO2 affects how long #SARSCoV2 remains infectious in air. We report that even subtle increases in CO2 affects both how long #COVIDisAirborne and transmission risk. Here’s a🧵going over the findings

Before ↙️ ↘️After

🚨 381,000 people reported that their ability to undertake their day-to-day activities is “limited a lot” by #LongCovid

🚨 Neither Covid nor #LongCovid are over!
Long Covid prevalence has worsened!!

So UKHSA accepts & indirectly admits the Pandemic is not over. Why are they still failing the UK by not mitigating against it's impact then? Why aren't masks in healthcare mandatory? Why isn't proper public health advice being given? I'd like to remind UK Health Security Agency of their purpose

CVF Member FOI Request to UKHSA:

“Is the COVID-19 pandemic currently ongoing? Please provide a yes or no answer.”

The response was an indirect YES, redirecting to the WHO’s statement.
'This does not mean the pandemic itself is over...'

Why can't the UKHSA simply respond 'YES'?

The vax hesitant need knowledge and support, not vilification.

Pushing Anti-vax 💩 is unforgivable

Here's my attempt at an accessible vax FAQ

Thanks so much to Long Covid Kids - #LongCovidKids, @Nat_Elodie_A_N
and James Neill  ≠ 𝕏 for brilliant and patient help with this! 🙏❤️

Covid school closures again being blamed for upcoming GCSE exam results in the UK. The OECD conducts an annual global study of 15-year olds' exam performance. Their conclusion? 'No clear difference between school systems with limited closures and those with longer closures.'
