The UK Government must take heed of the situation in Honduras, Sunak and Starmer's 74 SEZs and 12 Freeports are set to become libertarian experiments in corporate governance. The Honduran Supreme Court rules that justice for the Honduran people is not to sell their territory in

sarah murphy Agree Sarah, but there is a far bigger scenario unfolding that is rapidly reconfiguring the UK into patchworks of corporate sovereignties and tax havens, a Sunak and Truss initiative that was fully backed and signed off by Labour MPs, Mayors, councillors, Lords, and Baronesses as

Is it too much to ask that as a society we accept some people who are vulnerable and need support? As an unpaid carer who is running out of time I wonder what the future holds for my autistic loved one. We only seem to care about celebrities and the very wealthy.

At the peak of the late-summer Covid wave, U.S. health systems were testing approximately evenly for COVID, flu, & RSV. Yet, *nearly all* positive cases were Covid. #PublicHealth guidance must disabuse the myth that Covid conforms to the flu/RSV seasonal pattern.

As we head into winter, hospital admissions in England with Covid are increasing sharply (again), plus flu and RSV starting their annual rise. The year round nature of Covid could not be more obvious! There's also a lot of Rhinovirus (causes common cold) around.

This new variant of Covid is really strange. Massive outbreak in half our hospital, but no staff are masking outside of the Covid wards. Somehow Covid knows to stop at the limit of the outbreak ward & not spread any further, definitely not in corridors, staff rooms or canteen...

Yeah, the Covid dashboard was brilliant

It’s only October 11th and we now have 3x the number of referrals to our Long COVID clinic than usual. THREE TIMES MORE. 50% of our referrals contracted COVID in 2024. Of those, half contracted COVID over summer 2024. COVID prevention is the only to way to prevent Long COVID.

Salamāsina (she/her) The BMJ tried to normalise chronic cough in infants a few weeks ago. Not normal. I feel sorry for new parents who are being conned that their very young children should permanently be ill.
