= Clinically Vulnerable Awareness Day
4 yrs ago, βFreedom Dayβ left millions behind. For CV people, it wasnβt freedom but exclusion.
Health and safety should be inclusive rights, not a privilege.

The rise is after 2020. COViD causes neurocognitive dysfunction. It affects executive function, commonly called "brain fog". We estimated a massive economic impact due to inability to work. mja.com.au/journal/2024/221/β¦

1. I've just found out that my friend Helen de Cruz has passed away. Helen and I spoke via Zoom several times; in one of our long discussions (which, to my delight, she based an article on), we realised why we both disliked the 'brunch' trope.

Carla Denyer recommending clean air for schools in the article below.
Here are my boys asking for her help to improve air quality in kids' classrooms, last summer.
Great to know our MP is listening..
@GrnsAgnstCvd
βThe new Labour governmentβ¦.has chosen not to rock the boat with new measures to take care of our healthβ.
Read about the protections, such as clean air in schools, that @carla_denyer recommends to combat airborne infections including SARS-CoV-2.

π· Swapping to a surgical mask because your FFP3 isn't fit tested is like swapping your swimming goggles π₯½ for glasses π because they weren't checked for leaks.
Visiting my 91yr old mum in the hospital. Was just asked if my #FFP3 had been fit tested. When I said no (just to see the response) they said I should change it for FRSM. @cv_cev

If you visit hospital please wear a proper ffp3 respirator. A surgical mask like the ones in the image is far, far less effective for airborne diseases.

Antivirals can be prescribed during the 'flu season if the DHSC declares 'flu is circulating. Stocks are kept high.
Given the need for rapid access, it may be worth keeping lateral flow tests at home. Various brands are available. They cost ~Β£2.

β± Rapid access is essential
Antivirals work best when started within 48 hours of symptom onset, so you need to contact your GP urgently. NB/ In Scotland, secondary care can also prescribe treatments.
Starting later can still help for high-risk groups in certain contexts.

Disagree! Iβm a huge covid awareness / long Covid campaigner @covidactionuk @TAC_19_ I hold memorial events every year we remember more with each passing year we look back but also to the here and now. The bereaved know #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisntOVER
Gina is absolutely right. Reflection is about remembering and moving on but you canβt forget something that still impacts on our lives and kills every day. We need #CleanAir to battle an airborne pathogen, we need #masksinhealth care now.
