Part of answer by Prof Banfield, (now former) Chair of BMA UK Council
“..at one point Addenbrooke's decided to implement wholesale use of FFP3 masks instead of fluid-resistant surgical masks and found the infection rate plummeted. So that was practical use of FFP3 masks..”

Module 3, UK Covid Inquiry
9 September 2024
Remembering this snippet from the opening submissions by S Simblet KC, on behalf of the Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance (CATA).
“…In concordance with the expert IPC reports, CATA wishes to see immediate changes to IPC guidance……..”
Mr Scott, Counsel to the Inquiry, asked Dr Jones, about transmission of SARS-CoV-2 via the airborne route and
“…and, realistically, that those who were making the IPC guidance didn't take a sufficiently cautious or precautionary approach to the risk of aerosols?”

Dr Barry Jones (CATA) at the UK Covid Inquiry in September 2024:
“It was defined as aerosol transmitted from the very moment it came in to the country, it was an airborne highly consequential infectious disease. As indeed SARS1 & MERS were & still are.”

💕Many thanks to @mind.org.uk for reminding the @ukcovid-19inquiry.bsky.social that
"Places that *should* be SAFE and were *not* safe."
And the lack of safety caused mental health harms.
"To a lawyer trained in occupational safety regulation or human rights litigation, this is not an academic disagreement. It is a warning that existing standards may now be legally indefensible"

💙💜💗Yesterday was a BIG day for CVF at the UK Covid Inquiry.
After a year of work, @larawong.bsky.social’s full written statement (much longer than her oral evidence) is now public.
You can also watch her full oral evidence on YouTube.
Highlights below.
⚠️LONG thread warning 🧵
1 / 45 (!)
"Something as simple as breathing in shared indoor spaces has become a barrier to accessibility and inclusion for millions of people, and it's time to change that!"
Boston schools 👏👏👏
Leading the way since 2020. They invested in IAQ sensors in every classroom across the district.
"Clean air for every child in every classroom is a right, not a privilege."
"This is why for Montenegro, improving air quality in schools is not a secondary concern. It is a fundamental responsibility. A matter of safeguarding the next generation."
👏👏👏
The countdown is on 🙌🏽 🌍💨
We proudly support our Air Quality Expert Sotirios Papathanasiou as he takes to the stage at the UN for Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action
Safe Air Schools UK will be attending to help ensure children’s right to breathe healthy air inside school is seen as central
It would be nice to see more support for clinically vulnerable people.
Really pleased to see this initiate formally get off the ground! Well done @ruthbrooker.bsky.social
