Nurse who nearly died from Covid sues NHS for negligence
Nurse who nearly died from Covid sues NHS for negligence.
Rebecca Firth, 42, is seeking damages from the NHS.
She spent 21 days in the ICU, a month on a ventilator, suffered 3 cardiac arrests, sepsis & multiple organ failure as a result of COVID.
(🧵 0/5, Foreword):
“It's been ~5yrs since 𝑆𝐀𝑅𝑆-𝐂𝑂𝑉-𝟐, the virus that causes 𝐂𝑂𝑉𝐈𝐃, made its fateful jump into humans. Now seems as good a time as any to ask "is it over yet?" (For the 10th time, but who's counting?)
Let's talk about how this ends, shall we? (1/)
Covid hospitalisations rise as new XEC strain surges - full new symptoms list
“Health officials have confirmed this afternoon (October 10) that Covid cases are climbing across the UK, spurred by concerning new variants like XEC. The most recent data from the UK Health Security Agency reveals that Covid-19 incidence is going up on 'most indicators'.”
As data piles up that harms the workforce (esp in healthcare, education too), WHERE ARE THE UNIONS?

Dire shortages are worsened by govt’s refusal to provide clean air to ASHRAE 241 standards & laissez-faire approach to infections.

COVID Hasn’t Disappeared — But Empathy, Care and Solidarity Have

I’ve been meaning to do a 🧵 on the premier league ⚽️ & all the subtle signs of Covid in world leading footballers so far this season (season only started in August), so let’s go…

I’m only a GP. And I’m shocked at how some of my specialist colleagues think they are not harming patients by not masking.
“I’m only a GP. And I’m shocked at how some of my specialist colleagues think they are not harming patients by not masking.
I’m not smart. But come on! Covid is airborne and Covid HARMS every bit of your body. How can a highly intelligent Dr NOT KNOW THIS???”

Next generation medicines in fight against Covid:
Focusing specifically on the receptor-binding domain (RBD) rather than the entire SARS-CoV-2 spike protein provides enhanced, long-lasting protection against viral mutations
At the peak of the late-summer Covid wave, U.S. health systems were testing approximately evenly for COVID, flu, & RSV.
“At the peak of the late-summer Covid wave, U.S. health systems were testing approximately evenly for COVID, flu, & RSV.
Yet, nearly all positive cases were Covid.
PublicHealth guidance must disabuse the myth that Covid conforms to the flu/RSV seasonal pattern.”
Is this the way COVID ends? Next-generation inhaled vaccines could be the key to ending pandemic
“Is this the way COVID ends? Next-generation inhaled vaccines could be the key to ending pandemic Existing COVID-19 vaccines can prevent severe disease, but not infection. A new hope comes in the form of needle-free mucosal vaccines…
…Some see mucosal vaccines as the best hope to end the COVID-19 pandemic. They are now in development in labs around the world, including in Canada. The United States and other countries are investing heavily in the development of mucosal vaccines for COVID-19 and beyond.”
“I think anybody who tells you COVID-19 isn’t a surprise is not being truthful,” said Matthew Miller, who is co-director of the Canadian Pandemic Preparedness Hub, Canada Research Chair in Viral Pandemics and an associate professor in biochemistry at McMaster University in Hamilton. He is part of the research team that is developing an inhaled COVID-19 vaccine.
“I have studied pandemic viruses for a long time. I completely expected we would be in a place by now where COVID-19 was exhibiting seasonal trends (similar to influenza and other seasonal viruses that generally occur in the fall and winter). Clearly I was wrong.”

Opinion: What you should know about COVID this fall
“How is COVID-19 spread? When people cough, sneeze or talk, viral particles can be sent through the air and via droplets. Masking helps to prevent droplet spread, and keeping more than two metres apart and staying in a well-ventilated area can help to limit aerosol spread.
While not a predominant cause of transmission, COVID-19 can also be spread through objects contaminated with secretions from an infected person. The incubation period for COVID-19 — the time from exposure to developing an infection — is about two to four days with the current variant.”

“For the week of September 22, stats from the Canadian Nosocomial (Hospital-Acquired) Infection Surveillance Program, with data from 78 hospitals, including 16 in BC, show that 31% of patients in hospital with COVID acquired their infection while admitted for another medical condition.
This is a major failure by public health and Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC).”

A is circulating (unfortunately spread and amplified by a famous virologist) claiming that is now like influenza.
In 2024, the facts are clear: COVID far outpaced flu in infections, hospitalizations, and deaths.
COVID also carries the added burden of long COVID, a far more complex, multi-system condition than the long-term effects seen with flu.
COVID is not like the flu. It never was!
Human behavior-based COVID-19 transmission in two dining spaces
“Airborne routes predominated with a relative contribution of more than 88.0 %. • Wearing mask only for staff can reduce the infection risk by 12.8 %−31.8 %. • A ventilation rate of 30.0 m³ /(h·person) reduced long-range airborne risk by 62.9 %.”
Paola Egonu salta l'esordio con Vero Volley (e Ballando con le Stelle): l'operazione al naso, l'influenza, l'infezione. Cosa le è successo
Egonu, best volleyball player in Italy, down with "the flu" and then surgery because the viral infection got complicated by bacterial sinusitis.
there is no flu in italy right now. there's a wave of covid.
As someone who was disabled by Covid in 2020, unceremoniously kicked out of society, & then gaslit by everyone I encountered—which continues to this day—my heart really breaks for entertainers.
“Contract clauses often prevent artists from publicly speaking about Covid while on tour. They have been quietly canceling tours & disappearing, while everyone pretends it’s all very puzzling & mysterious. 🧵”

The XEC Variant Poised to Overtake KP.3.1.1 as Dominant COVID Variant by November. Increasing Hospitalizations in the U.K.- 3 Hospitals Reinstate Masking
“We began reporting on XEC, a recombinant variant of KS.1.1 and KP.3.3, as soon as it was designated in early August. XEC has now appeared in the latest CDC variant proportions update, showing a 6% prevalence in the U.S. Meanwhile, KP.3.1.1 has continued to expand, reaching 58% prevalence nationally.”
