It was more than a slip I called them what they actually are These aren't genuine LC patients, they are a nest of malicious haters looking to cause as much damage as possible They don't have solutions, just coordinated malice I ought to have known better. But I was jetlagged and really hurt

The CSA in Canada put forth a recommendation that respirators be used in healthcare to prevent COVID and other airborne diseases. It’s a recommendation that would save lives. Yet managers of hospital infection control programs are fighting back on it. Disgusting.

This list—predominantly managers of hospital infection control programs—are undermining revisions to a Canadian standard for workplace respirator personal protective equipment (PPE) that would improve safety grounded in science and engineering. /1

Today's Private Eye magazine: Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance, "CATA believes the government is guilty of downplaying the airborne transmission risk of SARS-CoV-2 virus, and other airborne pathogens, therefore not providing the correct protective equipment for staff". FFP3s needed.

I'm fed up with hearing Government responses saying that air filters are no substitute for ventilation whilst providing neither good ventilation nor air filters to school classrooms. I say in reply: Lies are no substitute for the truth. Ineptitude is no substitute for knowledge.

What's also true is that if this happens again, the same mistakes will be made. They're still not honest about airborne transmission. They're still not prepared for an airborne pandemic. Also true is that we are still in the Covid airborne pandemic because of these failings. 2/2

A lot of news from Covid inquiry blaming lockdown for people not being able to see relatives in care settings. The truth is; airborne transmission was covered up & Gov't hadn't properly prepared for an airborne pandemic. People could have done this entirely safely with the right mitigations. 1/2

He's busy counting his money and doesn't care who he hurts in the process obviously. Any reasonable person would hold their hands up to a big mistake, apologize profusely and work hard to make amends. This Keith dude isn't reasonable - he's a grifter.

I have to be honest and say that I don't hold such small products in very high esteem. The best device for this application in my opinion is the Air Fanta 4lite but is is a good bit bigger/heavier - but it also has a much greater chance of being effective. air-fanta.com/products/air...

I wouldn't think the risk is very significant but leave air filters running constantly in case of any re-aerosolization of particles. In these circumstances I use a UV-C disinfection lamp. See link. Only use when space is unoccupied. Warnings built into this device. www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-Disi...

Still not wrong, just early. Ignoring Covid infections is a giant mistake. We should be preventing them. Long Covid is very real & very serious and still a significant risk to all. The pandemic is continuing whether you ignore it or not. It's not lockdowns; it's infections. FAFO.

So why are we not doing this in schools & healthcare settings @AshleyDalton_MP @bphillipsonMP @wesstreeting (X accounts)? These are easy wins. Improving indoor air quality is cheap and cost-saving and will result in fewer illnesses. Most likely therefore...fewer disabilities too of course. 8/

Now here's the thing; This deals with kids who are already suffering respiratory conditions. There are plenty who will succumb to the same and this is largely preventable by focusing on indoor air quality; not just at home - but at school. Where kids spend a lot of time. 6/
