Maybe BBC presenters would like to work for free. That’s exactly what you are suggesting creatives should do by debating our copyright!

Athletes routinely abstain from alcohol, refined sugar, or other foods and drinks to try to give themselves an edge. Endurance athletes monitor all kinds of health stats through wearables and they have noticed the impacts covid has on resting HR and HRV for example.

Wearing masks and avoiding indoor crowds before a major globally broadcast competition are hardly 'extreme measures' when it protects an athlete's career from being sidelined by a virus

For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l

So annoying.

I was just putting gloves on to do some washing up when I had to drop everything and take to social media to fight maladaptive brainwashing.

Now I’m hungry and sleepy and the dishes aren’t done. Grrrrrr.

“Health anxiety” seems more like capitalist gaslighting that we are ridiculous to want quality of life, ability to work + financial security, and robust social safety nets that help us when we are sick or disabled
As in… listening to an expert saying you are feeling anxious, when in reality you or your kids are being infected by a lot of stuff, disrupting your life and causing real, practical anxieties…

I’ve been following the Nipah outbreak. For now, I feel that authorities are managing it well, and it seems contained. That is fact based reassurance..

It’s very concerning for all those waiting out their isolation periods, and my thoughts are with them, and all who care for them.

Nipah presents like many other viral diseases. Respiratory symptoms, body aches, stomach upsets, head ache etc.

Index of suspicion needs to be higher if there has been a history consistent with exposure such as

Doesn’t that feel better?

I didn’t tell you that you were anxious. I gave you the facts and empowered you to be able to respond to the news in a proportional and practical way.

On “BBC health check”

Apparently we are “post pandemic” and “health anxious” because we are noticing things like the recent hMPV outbreaks…

1) bugs are behaving differently for various reasons, so we should notice that, &

2) The repetition of saying we have health anxiety can’t be good for us.

The constant discourse on Twitter / X that 'masks don't work' is just tedious. While I never discount the possibility that I may have had an asymptomatic infection, the simple fact is that I haven't been sick once since early 2019. After numerous *confirmed* exposures. FFP2/3 works. The end.

I’d just like to say again.

Studies re COVID-19 published in 2020 clearly stated that deposition patterns consistent with aerosol spread was happening in hospitals.

They were finding positive samples for RNA in air ducts, on windows, under beds.

They did not match the advice to the findings…

Too many posts arguing about how old victims of abuse are, and what might be “okay”.

Trafficking an adult into slavery is not okay… hope that gives some people a place to start. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's a political choice not to engage with the harms of Covid. But it's not a sensible choice for health and the economy.
“Quietly sleepwalking into worklessness”.

No.

This is what “taking it on the chin” looks like. An economy with a broken jaw.

Demonising those out of work by the Torygraph again. Meanwhile, the rich get richer, we can't tax the wealthy apparently.

I knew it! I remember watching the news and thinking this was going to create chaos. We've been paying attention while everyone else decided eating in restaurants was more important than staying alive. The opportunists took advantage of the pandemic, and it's been downhill ever since.

Many, very smart people have talked about the connection between the Spanish flu and the holocaust…it’s actually chilling how we truly are repeating everything word by word. Every day is terrifying in this country.
I see we are at the “build giant prisons” and “prepare to execute lots of prisoners” stage of the “let’s repeat history” game.

Won’t be long before we are constructing more cost effective methods to execute prisoners en masse.

Just to add 3) to those very important points: waiting rooms (at least in doctor's offices) also tend to have really high CO2-levels at least in the data recorded so far in the indoorco2map project - which is heavily skewed towards german and austrian locations.

Thank you. It's absolutely infuriating the way public health is being abandoned.
