Sounds like an *excellent* public health program: “We want the Government to set new rules on air quality and infection control in health and social care settings, to prevent and control airborne infections, with new ventilation and filtration requirements, new PPE standards and staffing rules, and monitoring and inspection to ensure compliance..."

Here’s hoping more than enough people sign the petition to get immediate action. 🙂

𝗣𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟬-𝟮𝟲, highlights the importance of recognizing sepsis in children, a life-threatening response to infection that can develop rapidly and requires urgent attention. Watch for key signs such as rapid breathing, fast heart rate, confusion or disorientation, fever or shivering, muscle pain, not passing urine, and discoloured skin. Early detection is essential because sepsis can quickly worsen and become critical.

If you notice these symptoms in a child or anyone else and feel something is seriously wrong, seek medical help immediately. Sepsis may look like common illnesses but can escalate fast. Trust your instincts—if it doesn’t feel right, act quickly and ask, “Could it be sepsis?” Raising awareness during Pediatric Sepsis Week can save lives.

The medical establishment is resistant to change.

Semmelweis, who discovered the benefits of hand washing for infection control, was fired & put in an insane asylum.

Folks, doctors included, will deny reality as long as possible.

Maskers need to stand strong, the tides will shift eventually.

Texas becomes the latest State to propose a mask ban (while in the midst of a measles outbreak that’s currently over 100 cases).

These are ugly laws. They’re discriminatory & push disabled people further out of society. They increase the likelihood of police harassment. They paint maskers as “bad”.

There’s an excellent document with scripts for how to call & fight back! 🧵 1/2

Unfortunately things might be much worse than that.

in an overcrowded environment is expensive. And it's unpopular with Trump's base. And RFK Junior.

And doing it successfully is more difficult than herding millions of microscopic cats that float in the air.

Covid19 from 2020-2023 can so easily be greatly surpassed by one or more severe pandemics.

And Junior isn't fit. Nor almost any of Trump's lackies. And it'll take great teamwork when the next one arrives.

Waiting for appointment in Hospital and unlike two weeks ago I see a few fellow customers are... MASKED!

Not many, but last time *nobody* was masked, nor staff, and now the hospital is in emergency measures due to and .

So far no staff masked.

Masking should be emphasized as a primary strategy for preventing the airborne transmission of COVID-19, while also acknowledging the limitations of handwashing in protecting against airborne infections.

Comparison of CDC messaging on a blue and white background: The top section, with a white background, reads, “WHAT THE CDC IS TELLING US:” followed by, “Masking is a secondary preventative strategy to prevent COVID-19 infection.” The lower section, with a dark blue background, reads, “WHAT THE CDC SHOULD BE TELLING US:” followed by, “Masking is a core preventative strategy in preventing COVID infection. COVID is airborne, and masks prevent inhaling airborne particles.” The whn.global logo is at the top right, with colorful dots in the upper left.Comparison of CDC messaging on a red and white background: The top section, with a white background, reads, “WHAT THE CDC IS TELLING US:” followed by, “Handwashing is a core preventative measure to prevent COVID-19 infection.” The lower section, with a red background, reads, “WHAT THE CDC SHOULD BE TELLING US:” followed by, “COVID is airborne and handwashing does not protect you from getting infected by inhaling SARS-CoV-2 virus particles.” The whn.global logo is at the top right, with colorful dots in the upper left.
