It’s time to be proactive about ventilation & clean air in schools. We have the tools to reduce the levels of transmission of airborne illness. This would reduce the burden of winter viral illnesses on our healthcare system. A win win @SimonHarrisTD @CleanAirIE

🇮🇪 What % of Ireland's schools are in areas that exceed @WHO air quality limits @NormaFoleyTD1 ? It's 95% in the UK. Can parents rely on the air quality in Ireland's schools.. so children don't come home sick - again? Link : safeairschools.org

Absurd, insane and incredibly shortsighted are some of the thoughts I have about the situation on a regular basis.

1. Sometimes, the absurdity of the situation we're all in just hits me. Going forward, ongoing and continuous transmission of SARS-CoV-2 will lead to an ever-increasing percentage of the global population developing chronic illnesses due to sequelae of infection.



This oh this. I think this every time they wheel someone out talking about airborne viral illness and then tell is the best way to prevent spread is to wash ur hands….🙄🫠😷

"Tell me, what good is it, washing your hands, if the virus is in the air?"



It’s time to acknowledge that flu and other viruses spread through the air and particularly in poorly ventilated indoor spaces irishmirror.ie/news/irish-new…?

Masking works. It physically can’t not work if you wear a well fitted respirator consistently. Tell the others

Six Years and Six Winters Without Getting Sick I haven’t been sick since 2018. No flu. No colds. No COVID. Nothing. Same for my wife. Same for my son. Six winters. Six holiday seasons. While people around us got hammered by one infection after another, we stayed healthy.…

My boss stepped down for health reasons, the appointment of their successor was delayed for health reasons, their deputy stepped down for health reasons and their deputy's successor pulled out of taking the role for health reasons. We're in a wave of healthreasonitis.

@CarrollJennifer @roinnslainte please pass this on to Dr Abigail Collins. Sick children should NOT go to school.

Public Health Scotland advises that anyone with flu-like symptoms stay home from work, school, or hospital settings to prevent further spread. i.stv.tv/48j80Wh

I do think that training in air quality, respirators and airborne disease transmission should be mandatory for anyone working in a hospital. Knowledge is always the first step and there's no excuse for not providing accurate, truthful and helpful info to staff @wesstreeting 4/

Excellent article in @farmersjournal on the real life impact of #LongCovid. Many ppl may think they know what LC is..they don't! A woman in her early 20s left bedbound shares her story. Our very own Pamela of LCAI was also interviewed for this piece.. farmersjournal.ie/life/health/my…

📣 Ireland: If You Want Novavax, You Have to Do This One Thing A lot of people in Ireland have been asking where to get Novavax (Nuvaxovid) — the non-mRNA COVID vaccine. Here’s the part most people don’t know: 👉 Novavax is authorised in Ireland ❌ But the HSE isn’t offering…

This. Just this ⬇️

If we had immunity to COVID, we wouldn't get infected repeatedly. We wouldn't have COVID "waves" again & again. We wouldn't keep getting sick. Think.

Imagine if every health org started saying this?? 👏🏼

The best way to prevent Long COVID is to prevent getting COVID-19 or getting it multiple times. That means staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and wearing a well-fitting mask, especially when indoors among crowds. Learn more: nyc.gov/longcovid

Wanting to not catch a virus that has killed 40 million and caused long term disability in 400 million people already is not health anxiety. Pretending that virus doesn't exist: That's health anxiety.

The Daily Mail ran several attack pieces on Violet Affleck after her incredible UN speech advocating for COVID protections including masks & clean air. These attack pieces included a poll on masking in medical facilities. The result? An overwhelming 76% support requiring masks!

Hidden disability. Nobody gets it… until it hides within them. You can’t see a concussion…only when thinking slows. You can’t see torn ankle tendons.. only when the limp gives it away. It’s the same with Long Covid. -Up to 1 in 3 people develop lingering symptoms -It can…
