‘Are biannual COVID-19 waves the future? Many (including me) hypothesize COVID-19 will eventually become a winter virus, like flu. But clearly COVID-19 is still unpredictable and will likely take another decade to find a rhythm.’ @dr_kkjetelina

Sadly, the number of people that have taken up the COVID spring booster appears to have declined across the UK - and unsurprisingly, 'we don’t have a very good handle on how much infection there is because there is so little testing now'. Article @BBCNews

That the NHS has been used in this way is a vile betrayal of its vital role in protecting patients from harm. While some take precautions at their own discretion, staff in England don’t have to wear a mask, and testing for Covid? It’s largely in the past.

✍️Bringing forward the UK #vaccine programme, is sensible recognition of the situation - to help protect those most vulnerable, and to reduce pressure on the NHS.
✍️But, why not extend the offer of boosters to all under 65, to protect as many people as possible? #CovidIsNotOver https://www.england.nhs.uk/2023/08/nhs-flu-and-covid-vaccine-programmes-brought-forward-due-to-risk-of-new-covid-variant/

‘It is well-established that #N95s offer more protection than surgical masks against breath-emitted #airborne #pathogens and #wildfire smoke, which are micron-size fine particles.’ Recommended reading and references @TheWHN #CovidIsAirborne

✍️ The new variant a wake-up call for us ALL, the pandemic hasn’t ended. ‘We still need to be vigilant - COVID is still killing - still causing #LongCOVID.’ @mvankerkhove
