COVID INQUIRY: X Megathread 🧵 As module 3 of the @covidinquiryuk draws to a close, I’ve been looking back at what we’ve learned about how it all went so wrong with infection control guidance for hospitals. This is a long thread, so please grab a cuppa & make yourself comfy…

This is such a good response to a doctor asking: “Why are you wearing a mask?” I’ll be keeping this one up my sleeve as I’m asked this question a lot!

Cleaning the air with HEPA filters is such a simple, inexpensive & non-intrusive measure which can significantly reduce the spread of illness & exposure to indoor air pollution. There should be one in EVERY classroom & hospital room. x.com/visualfeastwan…

“WHY ARE YOU STILL MASKING?” The folks at the @TheWHN have put together a really excellent set of science-based answers to various questions about why you’re still wearing a mask. (Even if you’re not still masking, you might be interested in the answers). Let’s take a look…🧵

Rishi Sunak met King Charles at Buckingham Palace yesterday afternoon for the first time since his cancer diagnosis. 🔗 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-683632… Now, do you see what I see?! 👀 It’s a HEPA air filter, prominently positioned in the background of many of the photos! 1/

My son (who is clinically vulnerable) has been using his personal air purifier in the classroom for a few weeks now, so I thought I’d post a little thread 🧵 on how it’s going in case it helps others… @SmartairUk @SmartAirFilters @PeteUK7 @PlasticFull @CleanAirStars 1/

COVID + THE BRAIN 🧠 There’s been a flurry of new studies published in recent weeks about Covid’s detrimental impact on the brain. This is the aspect of Covid which concerns me most, but which many people seem to be blissfully unaware of. So let’s dig into what we know… 🧵

Someone posted this question on Reddit yesterday: “After all these years, did any of you get any type of permanent damage from getting Covid? If so, what is it?” There are over 1,200 comments so far. These are the real stories of real people. reddit.com/r/AskReddit/co…

This short skit from Canadian comedy show @22_Minutes absolutely hits the nail on the head. Presenteeism is the new norm. “Covid? What is this, 2020? The pandy’s done. It’s not Covid. I’m not going to test because then it’s a whole thing…” (H/t @amandalhu)

COVID’S EFFECT ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM 🔥 This is an excellent series of graphics from @YaleSPH explaining what we do (and don’t) know about Covid’s effect on the immune system. Much of this is informed by the work of Dr. Akiko Iwasaki (@VirusesImmunity). 🧵 H/t @fitterhappierAJ

Consultant Cardiologist, Dr Rae Duncan (@Sunny_Rae1), was interviewed today on BBC’s Sunday Show. In this thread 🧵, I’ve pulled out some of the key highlights. Kudos to Martin Geissler (@mmgeissler) who had clearly done his homework in advance & asked excellent questions. 1/

My Grandma fell and broke her hip three weeks ago. She responded well immediately following surgery, but then caught Covid on the ward last week and deteriorated. My Mum overheard one Nurse saying "just got back from holiday and I was floored with it". She died on Monday.

I think this must be THE most awkward moment of the Covid Inquiry so far. I’ve dubbed it ‘The Long Pause’. I’d love to know what was going on in Dr Ritchie’s head here. I’d like to think she had a moment of reflection of how many lives were lost due to her flawed IPC guidance.

Everyone should watch this 2 minute clip from a Dr Fauci lecture where he talks about two of the most misunderstood concepts in Covid transmission: 📍59% of infections result from asymptomatic transmission 📍Aerosol transmission predominates. Understanding this is critical.
