This morning I worked for 4 hrs conceptualising why family courts and psychologists mangle attachment assessments with Aboriginal families. It puts racial trauma as a critical variable impacting caregiver responsiveness to children and why it erroneously shows up as βdisorganised

Itβs official: A new Lancet Infectious Disease paper solidifies evidence of long-term viral persistence after #COVID-19. Up to a quarter of people in the study harbored viral proteins indicative of persistent virus for up to 14 months after infection:

Replacing the 2+ year old hepa in the kids bedroom. New filter at left in both images; Old filter pre-external dust removal (left image; we do this every few months) & after dust removal (right image). As this shows, indoor air is not clean unless you make it so, often

France implements an 800ppm CO2 limit in classrooms. They recognise clean air is vital to reducing COVID transmission. Meanwhile, in many Australian schools: a) No idea what CO2 has to do with COVID b) One CO2 monitor, in a drawer in the principal's office c) Zero mitigations
We offer a translation into English of our synoptic on the new French environmental code relating to the measurement of CO2 in schools. A PDF version is available at https://t.co/R2WmMULY69 This is intended for foreigners who have expressed an interest in this new code.

βHe stressed people underestimate the risk of COVID infections in general.. One study from @StatCan_eng found around 15% of people reported having #LongCovid after their first infection. That number approaches 40% after the third & subsequent infections.β

Even young, healthy Texans can suffer for years after COVID infections.

Thanks to @people magazine for covering my piece on the Covid-19 and brain health COVID-19 poses a serious risk to brain health, even in mild cases, and the effects are now being revealed at the population level Link here:
people.com
Mounting scientific evidence reveals that being infected with SARS-CoV-2 β the virus that causes COVID β profoundly impacts brain health in many ways.

@alzheimerssoc have you seen this study?β οΈ Please inform everyone that SARS-COV-2 (re)infections cause all subtypes of dementia, irrespective of patientsβ previous dementia types, to behave like rapidly progressive dementia (according to Journal of Alzheimerβs Disease Reports)

Today, many will tell you we overreacted then But youβll never hear that from someone, anyone who worked in the hospital then Covid scarred a generation of healthcare workers Many watched their colleagues suffer. Struggle to breathe. Then die.

A huge point missing from the 'cumulative risk' discussion is that it's not just about the cumulative risk of developing long-COVID population-wide, but also what happens to the quality of life of those who have long COVID with subsequent infections. Or does no one care?

Something seems to be missing from this summary about childhood infection-related mortality in the last 3 years. Any ideas? A clue:
This morning weβve released a report with the @NCMD_England team which highlights that almost 1 in 6 deaths in children in England are related to #infection and #sepsis. Children from underrepresented and disadvantaged communities are greatest riskβ¦

Those you on here who have been following this scandal and are attending @ESCMID conference where Gerrard is presenting - perhaps you could turn up to his talk and ask some questions re his statements that have so damaged the #LongCovid community?
Gerrard is βoverseas and couldnβt commentβ. Guess where? Heading for the Barcelona @ESCMID conference where he is presenting this paper. It would be a great chance for him to make a public apology when presenting this paper. Will he? And who is funding his trip? Taxpayers?

Exactly correct. Huge fallacy here aiming at risk per infection when cumulative infection is what is important. Covid is not a cold or the flu. Much more complicated. Finally, self-reported LC is only the tip of the iceberg for what is happening.
@zeynep Respectfully, thinking about βrisk per infectionβ is mathematical misunderstanding What counts for any individual & for the population is βcumulative riskβ. Which increases with # of infections. (Think: Russian roulette) Pls DM me, Iβll be happy to explain the math/biology & data

This is a landmark paper on the path to better indoor air quality. Outdoor air, the water we drink and food we eat is regulated by standards that protect us from harms. This is not the case for the air we breathe indoors where we spend 90% of our time. This is the most definitive

Data I was analysing on outbreak clusters from Victoria in late 2021 confirmed that schools were the source of far more clusters of cases than everywhere else combined. Henry is right: improving ventilation in schools would have a big impact. 1/
We may be thinking about Covid the wrong way. It remains true it seems that Covid is an overdispersed virus. It has a low dispersion parameter (k), meaning most spread is superspreading events from a very small number of people. /1 https://t.co/O8QDN2U2Ud
