Is a regular facet of life in Russia since the so-called „Special Military Operation” began. The URL for Lyudi Baikala is baikal-journal.ru/ they take donations, and people should support them because with them we’d have no insight at all

Yup, try to square that circle... oh and children shouldn't test anymore, but if they happen to test positive they only need to isolate for three days

"You probably don’t need a Covid test. But if you think you have it, stay away from people for five days. And if you do test positive, avoid immunocompromised people for ten."
Apparently we’re meant to manage an infectious disease by guessing 🤷♂️

Covid wave well in progress, despite NHS Public Health claims of everyone being immune (used to justify UK wide NHS restricting vaccines, antivirals, testing & staff testing). Clearly they’ve got it badly wrong & everyone will be worse off for their incompetence.

It's 2026 and doctors are recommending handwashing as a way to prevent inhaling airborne viruses.

4 key issues with anyone suggesting the population is “immune to Covid” due to infections & vaccines:
1. It is nonsense.
2. No one has been vaccinated for years.
3. The vaccines have never been sterilising.
4. We are in the 13th wave of the Covid pandemic now, no one is immune.
"Dr Matthew Siggins, lecturer in immunity and infection biology at the University of Surrey, said that the rise was not a “reason for alarm” as many people remained immune from previous infection and vaccination."

The current wave of Covid in England is not being driven by a new variant of Covid, from America or anywhere else. It is happening because two things have coincided. (2/7)

Tentatively, BuDS is now predicting a wave of Covid not much smaller than that in 2025, when 1 in every 103 people were infected. (2/2)

Yes.
Exactly this.
A news story says that loads of people are off sick with covid, or a hospital ward has been shut down, or that people are dying from Covid, and some talking head pops up and says don't worry we're all immune.
IF WE'RE ALL IMMUNE WHY IS THERE A COVID WAVE.

Quick thread on university finances and the next phase of the crisis engulfing English higher education.
TL;DR: structural factors mean ‘elite’ institutions are much more vulnerable than people realise.

I had my longtime lawyer tell me today that if I wanted to start a nonprofit to help people with Long Covid and Covid Vaccine Injury who are facing homelessness, eviction, foreclosure, etc., that my best chance was to drop any mention of the word Covid from it entirely.
That I will face a much higher rejection rate when applying for grants and that, consciously or unconsciously, the people who make the decisions want to pretend that the pandemic is over.
Dropping the word Covid from everything because it’s easier is obviously not the answer. I’m just sharing this because… damn. Is there any direction we are not being crushed out of existence from?

Surprising message of the day!
Eliminating infectious children from the classroom helps the individual child to recover, and it protects everyone else from infections.
Well done this preschool! 👏👏👏
ALT Burgoyne Heights Preschool. 10h. Follow ... X Good morning Due to the ongoing flu like symptoms going through the school we cannot rule out Covid even though tests may come back negative. There is a new variant going around the UK and the symptoms include: High Temperature Cough Runny Nose Body Aches Headache Loss of taste and smell We have had so many poorly children and staff with these symptoms and we don't want it spread. Please keep your child at home if they present with any of these symptoms and do not bring them back until they are better. Staff will be checking temperatures and if they think your child has any of these symptom's they will be sending your child home to recover.

The ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis) deniers who’ve had to do rear guard action for 30 years as the science has evolved to discredit them won’t admit they are wrong precisely because of the damage they have done. That’s how human cliques work. The more damage, the harder to admit.
