Reader in Politics, UCL. But these are my own views, tweeting in personal capacity. Retweeting not an endorsement. More Politics things in the butterfly place.

It’s frustrating to see this reactive attitude to airborne infection controls. By the time they realise there’s a problem, it’s too late. Hospitals are always full of infectious sick people, so why are airborne IPC measures not in place at ALL times? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
1/2 Name another IPC (Infection Prevention Control) measure in NHS hospitals that is ONLY applied when there is increase in the n of cases? - hands hygiene ? No - Surgical hand antisepsis? No - Gloves and other PPE when exposure to blood and/or other body fluids? No
Better represents comments in the article that staff are at risk of Covid & Long Covid
⚠️Prof Christina Pagel reports on "significant Covid wave" in her substack (🔗 on nxt) "The last time we had more recorded Covid hospitalisations was two years ago, and this wave isn’t over yet." @wesstreeting you are gambling with our lives & health. 1/ #KeepCovidBoosters
Back in Nov 2021, the govt released a campaign across digital channels, radio & newspapers highlighting how Covid particles are AIRBORNE & hang in the air like smoke. The campaign was titled: “STOP COVID-19 HANGING AROUND” Below is one of the short films from the campaign ⬇️
…and did the government know it was airborne when they launched this ⬇️ public awareness campaign titled “STOP COVID-19 HANGING AROUND” back in Nov 2021? When you start joining the dots, it’s very disturbing to realise how flawed the entire IPC decision-making process was.

One last thing… This is the Covid Policy at the Inquiry: 🔹Symptomatic testing requested 🔹Ventilation delivering 8 air changes/hour 🔹4 HEPA filters 🔹CO₂ monitoring with action triggered whenever CO₂ reaches 1,000ppm Do they know it’s airborne? 🤔 covid19.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/upl…
Public health should have an answer to this. Children showing measurable microvascular injury and persistent viral antigens need monitoring, not dismissal. No screening protocols, no follow-up clinics, no guidance. Families are left to navigate a biological condition that health…

Tuition fees pushed universities into operating on a corporate finance basis and now they’re all stuck in this fixed-capital death-spiral of “sack the workers, buy more buildings”

I lost two parents due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And I’m so grateful that vaccines were eventually developed—saving millions of lives. But now RFK Jr. is firing vaccine experts and gutting public health. This fight is personal, and we have to push back.
I truly hope this rapid review shows just how short-sighted it is to have restricted access to an NHS Covid booster. Studies show that both the acute & long-term impacts of Covid are substantially WORSE than flu on almost every measure. The current strategy makes NO sense.
COVID-19 had a comparatively higher burden of health loss than seasonal influenza in both the acute and post-acute phase thelancet.com/journals/lanin…
🚨 BREAKING: Labour MPs back calls to restore NHS Covid vaccines for all Clinically Vulnerable people! After pressure from CVF members and supporters - a rapid U-turn appears to be underway. WELL DONE! #KeepCovidBoosters campaign a HUGE success! Many thanks to @BeccyCooper4Lab
Covid cases rising, media telling people to be "vigilant." Or you could maybe just wear a mask, which is a more scientifically-grounded approach.
I think Tern's probably right here. Here's flu this year v. last year. Same time period, same metric. I'm sure they're fully aware of the converging covid wave, but a concurrent & rapid flu wave will permit messaging only about the latter.
I think the UKHSA and NHS don't quite know what to do in response to the unnerving early flu statistics for this season. Watch their publicity campaign become more and more alarmed but smiley as the next few weeks progress.
There’s a reason this happens when school starts every year (some years worse than others). This doesn’t have to happen, it’s a choice.
🚨Confirmed flu A cases here have grown by 400% in three weeks. 👀 We may be in for a *very hard* and potentially early flu season. Watch this week's flu and covid surveillance report very closely. 👀
We could have put all of this in place by the end of the 2020 summer holidays. I offered to source all of this for our kids schools. One headteacher said the kids would miss out on essential infections. To be clear: there is no such thing as an essential pathogenic infection.
The benefits of well-ventilated classrooms are clear, as our newly updated guidance explains. Not only do they help reduce the spread of winter infections – meaning fewer sickness absences among staff and pupils – but good indoor air quality also improves concentration and…
