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

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.

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.

"..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.

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.
