This is outstanding work by @ByDonkeys. The Real BBC Bias Story, exposing the lies and disinformation of the political right, and how they are dressing up propaganda, under the guise of exposing bias. People must see this, as the mainstream media are failing to report the real

I've been meaning to comment that when visiting New York in September, I was pleasantly shocked to see that masking was much more common than in the UK. I went into three shops and was served by a masked person in each one. Eyebrows officially raised..
Wearing a mask in crowded indoor settings this fall can protect you and others from COVID-19, flu, and RSV, even if you don’t have symptoms. Well-fitting masks, like N95s, KN95s, or KF94s provide the best protection: https://t.co/GSNg7r7fQF

Just re-sharing this excellent article from Amanda Kvalsvig and Anna-Maria Arabia on why we must keep pushing for clean indoor air. And CleanAirforKidsUK gets referenced at the end too, thank you! Link below ⬇️

Burning fossil fuels has made the last 3 years the hottest in 125,000 years. Has made CO2 levels higher than in MILLIONS of years. Will kill a BILLION+ people this century. The response? HOPING a conference that’s failed 29 times might BEGIN the process of phasing them out.

Great study, @itosettiMD_MBA The anti-maskers need to read more science‼️ @ukhadds @michael_hoerger @ToshiAkima @Globalbiosec
Korean study Wearing kn94 masks (equivalent of ffp2 or n95) is protective against infection by COVID-19 Only 1 healthcare worker infected out of over 180 working for a year with COVID+ patients Study done in 2020 before vaccines were available https://t.co/NPTMsVsal8

Back to hospital today for a follow-up consultation. Given the NHS is bracing for the worst flu outbreak in decades, will the staff be wearing airborne protection..!?
I had to go to hospital this week. Here I am about to walk in.. When the doctor saw my mask they said "are you ok with us not masking?" There is not an easy answer to that. Masking in a pandemic is not the problem. People are the problem ⬇️

You see #CovidIsAirborne Mixed messages from our Health Servicea 🤔 All of that 'wash your hands' guidance and yet here they're clear that Covid is being spread through the air 👇 If you can't avoid crowded indoor places #WearAMask & make it a #FFP2 or #FFP3 / #N95 Respirator.

I've been spending a bit of time today reading the Long Covid Declaration from international patient organisations and advocates living with the condition. I fully support it. A link follows but I urge everyone to read this document. h/t @CovidSolidarit1 & @elisaperego78 1/

"..having C0vid in 2025. Do you know how embarrassing that is..." Why is this embarrassing? I wasn't aware inhaling an invisible, airborne pathogen (which Public Health is doing nothing to protect its citizens from) ..was a matter of shame.
“Yo #Covid in 2025 is” …. “Other than toilet needs I’ve not left my bed” “Whoever made this virus 🦠 yo!, it could fully knock a grown man down” “YOUR NOT READY FOR WHAT COMES. Trust me!” #CovidIsAirborne #Covid19 #SARSCoV2 #CleanAir #LongCovid

💔 Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Species like Bechstein’s bats & large blue butterflies rely on habitats that can’t be replaced once destroyed. Without #Amendment130, they could vanish forever. Tell your MP: keep this Amendment . 📢 Send your message now: https://t.co/dH2ZAXflrr

26/ Why do I think clean air is a good idea? Covid is caused by SARS-CoV-2, transmitted in airborne pathogens. After more than five years, Covid is still rife and it's still causing incalculable harm. Inaction and apathy have led to harm being normalised here in the UK.
