🚨At #CovidInquiry Lady Hallett to Prof. Clive Beggs: Q. Is it reasonable if you don’t know the route of transmission surely you should be preparing for & guarding against…every possible route of transmission until you know? A. You’re absolutely correct #Covid_19 #LongCovid

Thanks to all of our PPIE team members Sarah Barley-McMullen (she/her) Mik Wood 🐦 Elke Michael Alexander Long Covid Advocacy 💙 and @oldgitfitness62who give so much to help others with their advocacy and challenging us to think differently and to be better! You are all amazing!

The winner of this prestigious award will be announced at an event in October - but the recognition, awareness and profile that this brings to #LongCovid is what matters most. nature.com/immersive/incl…

We have lots of people who our central to this achievement and are involved in all of our research. Without any of them we would not have been recognised at this level.. Thank you to you all!! Binita Kane Rae David Strain David Joffe MB BS (Hons), PhD, FRACP 🇦🇺

“Portable air filters, HEPA filters are low hanging fruit. 🍇 they are cheap easy and we know they clean the air” “We need to know where to put them for best effect” #LongCovidKids #CleanAir

💥BOOM💥 My question was rejected, but paraphrased. Leading to this! B. Hallett "I think the answer is, the more of them [air filters] you have about, even in normal times, the better ventilation you have, the better chances for patient and healthcare worker safety." Beggs "Yes"

So grateful to be a small part of this amazing group of people who are dedicating their work to helping those of us living with long covid. Their openness to hearing the lived experience and using it to shape and direct their research is inspiring. So thankful for all you do. 💙

🎉 Absolutely fantastic news to hear that our Advisor Mark Faghy and his team at Derby have been shortlisted for this award for their #LongCovid research, including our charity member Michael Alexander who has provided crucial patient involvement!👏👏👏

So if the Covid Enquiry already know we should be putting air filters in all hospitals to better protect staff and patients…..can we finally, 5 years in please do it?

🚨Dr Barry Jones (CATA) at #CovidInquiry: “It was defined as aerosol transmitted from the very moment it came in to the country, it was an airborne highly consequential infectious disease. As indeed SARS1 & MERS were & still are.” #LongCovid #WeNeedAnswers

Absolutely blown away to be shortlisted as a finalist for this for the 2nd year in a row. The most asked question I get is: ‘WHY do to you want to treat long Covid?’ That the judges recognise the WHY (rather than me) is what’s important. That long Covid deserves treating

The Berkeley Repertory Theatre (Bay Area, CA) has mandatory masked events on Sundays and Tuesdays. This is inclusiveness. This is community care. Vulnerable people deserve to experience life, too.

Mark Faghy is awesome - making sure that patient experience is at the heart of all his research. It is wonderful that in a UK long covid research arena dominated by groups doing CBT, Mark and his team's sensible excellence is being recognised. ❤️🔥 Please retweet ❤️🙏

Airborne Transmission of SARS-CoV-2: The Contrast between Indoors and Outdoors mdpi.com/2687152 #mdpifluids via Fluids_MDPI I published this paper a few months ago. Explains why COVID is easily transmitted indoors and not outdoors #COVIDー19 #Covid_19 #COVIDisAirborne

I'm looking forward to presenting at this year's annual Chartered Society of Physiotherapy conference, the main challenge here is fitting this into 5 minutes!! #Physio24 #rapid5 #LongCovid Long COVID Physio Betsi Cadwaladr

"We don't understand enough about #LongCovid to be able to give the right messaging...from a public health point of view it is very difficult to give a message if we don't know what we are trying to do." Raise awareness of the risk of long term symptoms perhaps? UK Health Security Agency

Confused about the efficacy of face masks? Check out Prof Greenhalgh's excellent paper here: journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.11… The epidemiology (when all the evidence is evaluated) shows that they are effective. #COVIDー19 #Covid_19 #CovidIsAirborne #SARSCoV2

Meta-analysis by the Royal Society royalsociety.org/-/media/policy… reported " the weight of evidence ... suggests that wearing masks, wearing higher quality masks (respirators), and mask mandates generally reduced the transmission of SARS-CoV-2". #COVID19 #CovidIsAirborne #Covid
