England is now experiencing a significant Covid wave, after 10 months of relative quiet The latest Covid situation in England and a look at where NHS services are as we head into winter

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

We think the UK government should ensure that management of healthcare associated infections (HCAI) is extended to include recording data on COVID infections spread within hospitals.
That’s why we signed this petition.

Waning immunity. A significant Covid wave in England. No new variant.
Thanks Prof Pagel for highlighting and contextualizing

"We were given lots of information that the virus wouldn't affect children ... wouldn't get LC ... would bounce back without serious problems.

I didn't ever see a persuasive evidence base for that being the case, and... experience has told us since that it wasn't the case."

A small number of CV children stayed home (CV children, not children with CV family members). Some staff visited at home to provide support. Schools encouraged attendance.

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

A victory for FAST leadership.

"Clinical Vulnerability" needs to mentioned in terms of flexibility.

It would be helpful to name that much more clearly.

It should be explicitly mentioned in connection with a proactively supportive approach on the part of schools for the child or the family.

Why investment in clean indoor air is vital preparation for the pandemics and climate emergencies to come Unchecked airborne infections cost billions in lost health and productivity each year – likely more than the cost of better ventilation to clean up indoor air.

Such an important piece. The positive momentum behind clean indoor air is palpable. But we’re not there yet as my last post demonstrates. Please read and share and get behind this cause.
