Stark warning from dr jack lambert on the impact of repeated covid infections. "This is not the flu. We need to get the message out there that we still need to be careful in terms of catching covid". He describes how many now appear to be immunocompromised due to #LongCovid

After he saw Emma he started having trouble walking. He received an MRI and neurologists found 2 areas in his brain which were under attack by his immune system. Why? It turned out Vittorio had COVID-19 recently and his immune system went into overdrive.

Frontline staff felt like lambs to slaughter due to lack of #PPE in the pandemic. Our colleagues died and the least they are owed is an enquiry. Why hasn’t it started? DAUK co-chair Dr Ellen Welch on LBC Breakfast show. youtu.be/5yX43GKUv0k #NHS

I enjoyed creating this from Independent SAGE's BMJ article. Many replies claim no need for Covid measures, but all of the points at ~1min will, by definition, be invisible to us all. This is why we need scientists to advise. It won't be invisible if you or a loved one suffers.

Sigh. 🧵 * Viruses don't automatically or inevitably evolve to become milder. Transmissibility and immune escape can be under strong selection but virulence may not be, especially if there are lots of hosts, transmission is easy, and infectiousness precedes symptoms.

Better to not be able to get emergency care than wear a mask Better to have children off sick from school than wear a mask Better to risk chronic multi-system disease than wear a mask Better to have your flights cancelled, than wear a mask Worth it for 'freedoms' - am I right?

This transformation of Utrecht’s inner ring road is incredible. A once bleak car-centric stretch of road is turned into a beautiful city boulevard with space for pedestrians, cyclists and nature (and still some cars!).
