Great new study by on behavioural aspects of ventilation in hospitality venues. Many monitored venues had poor ventilation, but hosts list many barriers to improve - tho some venues attempt to improve following info campaign.
let's see why it's not always simple to ⬆️ ventilation:

or a new study shows that either, or a combination of:
▪️reduced viral emission (bcos air cleaner added several days later from initial readings)
▪️changes to window ventilation
▪️presence of an air cleaner
see below for fag packet calc to show it can't all be due to air cleaner...

Indeed increased awareness & improved detection.. there is a debate to be had re resourcing long waiting lists for broader neurodivergence assessments vs identifying needs for early intervention/support.

Ultimately children's services are always the cinderella of services, particular after pandemic

I do think the majority of public can see through fake causes and fake cures, if enough scientists/ clinicians call it out...

Problem is how can the most vulnerable families and children be safe guarded?

Said this re the grooming gangs and we’re back to the same thing. Unclear what *exactly* failed in social services/how, bc they’ve been scant with info. But Britain does expect children’s services to be a firewall vs threats it’s appalled by, while entirely deprioritising them the rest of the time
