COVID INQUIRY: X Megathread 🧵
As module 3 of the @covidinquiryuk draws to a close, I’ve been looking back at what we’ve learned about how it all went so wrong with infection control guidance for hospitals.
This is a long thread, so please grab a cuppa & make yourself comfy…

If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

It's not isolation until symptoms fully subside (grey bar on top), but until symptoms 'improve' which for many people happens very early. Especially children- who have milder symptoms. Our daughter's symptoms improved on day 2- tested +ve on RAT upto day 8.
I'll respectfully disagree with my friend @EricTopol
CDC does not have a "no isolation" guideline
Its guideline is to isolate until symptoms are clearly improving
In the paper Eric cites, there is another useful graph
It shows that as symptoms abate, so does infectious virus

As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.

Blows my mind that the NHS are posting stuff that is getting community notes correcting it.
That's the level of dysfunction that we're at.

Washing your hands with soap and water is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself and others from viruses like norovirus, flu and COVID-19 - and it helps reduce pressures on healthcare services.

Almost half (49%) of British fruit and veg farmers fear they will go out of business within the next 12 months. 75% report that supermarket behaviour is a leading factor.
If you're UK based, sign the petition on the link below to get it debated in Parliament.
Very very nearly to the 100k needed.
