New article from the team of @profmarkfaghy.bsky.social highlighting how lived experience should be part of all stages of research and not simply tokenistic. Patients are the expert in their condition and there is always more to hear and learn from them. link.springer.com/content/pdf/...

CATA has found via FoI requests that government bodies did not fully disclose vital evidence to COVID Inquiry. They ignored views of PHE that airborne precautions should have been available to all HCWs. WHY?

I don't want to share a link to the story, because it's just so painfully uninformed, but here it is. Better they're talking about the effects of covid infections and not mentioning covid infections than not talking about the effects of covid infections. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

theguardian.comThis is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet? | Aditya ChakraborttyThe news that healthy life expectancy is in decline in Britain exposes a serious truth about the state we’re in, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

It's going to fall further too, just as the actual age at which people dies has also fallen and is continuing to fall. So you die younger, and you become unhealthy younger.

“People used to be getting healthier year on year. Now we're getting sicker year on year. The difference is Covid.”

🚨 Are people sicker now than in 2019? Civil servants in England are. Sickness absence rates have *risen by between 12% to 23% across the age groups*. Are things getting worse? It certainly looks like it. This is exactly what we predicted repeat covid infection would do.

I faded out the year 2021 because that year includes all of the 'lockdowns' and during that year people were taking precautions to avoid illness.

*Reminds me I still think with some work this could possibly serve as a good TV show or mini-series premise. Pastor by day, virus/disease hunter at night, with a family. Or perhaps an animated version with an actual seabird. All proceeds would go towards COVID & Long COVID awareness, etc.

Sickness, Disability, and Death in NHS England Staff The three graphs that *every person* needs to see. The question that every single person needs to ask their government: What are you doing to protect me from Covid infection?

She had me at Vyvyan and Rik.

A dérouler car c'est effrayant. Ce sont les données pour le Royaume-Uni mais je suppose que c'est la même chose en France.

I've just seen some staggering data on how badly infections are affecting urgent care here *now*. It's hard to comprehend. It's hard to get your head round it. You need to see it to believe it. 👀

From the NHS, which actually has comprehensive data.

Read this thread and weep. Then act as if airborne viruses matter 😷

In the last year before Covid arrived in England, 4,059 people waited more than twelve hours to get admitted to hospital after the decision was made to admit them to hospital. During the emergency phase of the pandemic that number rose to a staggering 48,626.
