How it started: 3 Mar 2020

'Effective IPC measures, including transmission-based precautions (airborne, droplet & contact precautions) with the recommended PPE are essential to minimise these [nosocomial #Covid19 ] risks.'

How it's going: 18 Jan 2022 🍾🙌🥳

What just happened?

“We can’t call it AIRBORNE because our hospitals won’t cope”

#COVIDisAirborne

Margaret O'Hara Julia Ransom Jo house Safe Inside - Clean The Air I applaud Safe Inside - Clean The Air - what a brilliant initiative. I hope it is widely taken up. Would be nice to see it underpinned by Regulations such as the food hygiene rating system or future Building Regulations.
As regards healthcare premises CQC could rate it in their inspections.

If anyone started a UK Gov't petition which demanded UK suspend funding for WHO until they sack certain persons who denied airborne transmission, said FRSMs were OK (and still say it) which resulted in thousands of avoidable deaths - then I'd sign it.

We all know who they are.

Without doubt, this doctor's experience of his NHS Trust denying he could have possibly caught COVID at work is repeated thousands of times.

Great to know he triumphed over them in the end!

To those in similar situations DON'T GIVE UP.

SARS-CoV-2 spread (just like on the bus) backwards

Index case - Airborne dissemination - inhalation
NB transmission happened close to and far afield
NB there were no AGPs undertaken.

“UK workers had inadequate protection during the pandemic”

Thank you for writing Prof Raymond Agius 🇪🇺 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇮🇹🇲🇹🇪🇸.

4 years later, nothing has changed. When will the UK government mitigate against #SARSCoV2 transmission?

It was such a powerful influence. In the UK it was 'we are following the WHO in justification for droplet nonsense'.
The job of independent IPC guidance writers was to confirm or refute if the WHO had evidence in support of droplets.
They did not.
Droplet probable nonsense.

“The solicitors will now work together to build their case ahead of the next scheduled court date in October 2024.
Both GA Solicitors and Bond Turner Covid Team told Nursing
Times that the number of health workers getting in touch with them about #LongCovid was increasing day by day.”

Version 2 OUP Medicine chapter on COVID19 released 2 months after our expressions of concern

🚨UK guidance of FRSM no longer supported by chapter authors: FFP3 recommended for all infectious SARS2 patient care

Crazy that UK guidance authors remain opposed to protecting HCWs

So pleased, the BBC team have got this on the iPlayer, it’s particularly relevant now after #breathtaking #LongCovid

Question #NHS #LongCovid

1-Why is it so difficult to implement reasonable adjustments to keep us employed?

2-Why are we being dismissed, if on the balance of probability we acquired this from work?

#ItsJustSoUnbelievable

#BalanceOfProbabilty
#EqualityAct
#PPE
#COVID19

Oh wow, this is so good

Could the reduced funding for #LongCOVID research be down to the current Chancellor?
When Chair of Health and Social Care Select Committee, he totally ignored this report alerting the Committee to the real & present danger faced by HCWs through lack of RPE
