When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said..
“I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons”
More celebrities need to speak out like this.

If you have COVID symptoms, TEST
If you test positive, ISOLATE
If you can’t test, MASK
Protect yourself and others (especially high-risk people) - it still matters!

We are all rightly condemning Trump and his coterie for spreading false health information but, right here in the UK, the NHS is telling equally ludicrous porkies about Covid. Think of that when your local hospital invites you to wash your hands to stop an airborne virus.

Please sign and share. Why should there be a difference between the eligibility for flu vaccines and Covid vaccines anyway. If someone over 65 is vulnerable to flu then they are equally as vulnerable to Covid. Makes no bloody sense.

Washing hands and wiping down surfaces will not do much to protect children from a deadly, highly infectious, airborne virus. Vaccinate and ventilate.

While infection control and cleaning is always a good thing, it’s not going to cut it for measles. Measles is airborne and highly contagious. The best approach is vaccination, and local infection control should focus on ventilation and air cleaning www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Nurseries in England bring in Covid-style protocols as measles cases rise
Staff deploy infection controls and step up cleaning as cases pass 500 for year to date and after one child dies
