Over 13,000 signed the petition for #EllasLaw . The signatures were handed in UK Prime Minister by Ella’s siblings, with their lawyer Nancy Collins who wrote to Rishi Sunak. Govt responded 18wks late, didn’t address #Ellaslaw but a message on how they’re tackling air pollution.

New study: The largest human health benefit is achieved by eliminating the largest sources of PM2.5.

The largest source of PM2.5 in the UK is domestic wood burning. #AirPollution #Health #climate

Sometimes people can collaborate to make the world a better place.

The most important thing we Wil put in our body today is the air we breathe. Yet, we rarely think about what we are breathing.

We still have over 1,000 per week dying from Covid.

We mandate seatbelts to save just 288 lives per week.

Based on his logic, no seatbelts are needed.

Because we can't walk and chew gum at the same time, evidently.

This is going to happen to me pretty soon at our research course EANS Research Committee this April!

Wish me luck lecturing in front of people I look up to! 🙈 #Neurosurgery #MedEd #MedTwitter

Four years ago on this day WHO said : 'FACT: #COVID is NOT airborne.' x.com/WHO/status/124…

Today, WHO finally released a model (iris.who.int/handle/10665/3…) of #CovidIsAirborne risk by experts in the field that warned of airborne even earlier, but were shut out. /2

Put Covid aside for a second.

Let’s say there was an omnipresent airborne virus in the schools and your child is projected to get infected roughly 10 times between kindergarten and 12th grade, without any mitigations.

Let’s say that after 4x there’s more than a 50% chance…

“The original sin of the pandemic was the failure to recognize airborne transmission,” says Harvard professor Joe Allen. He believes this lag in understanding cost tens of thousands of lives in the U.S. cbsn.ws/3QiveRZ

Read today's NYT's piece titled 'Empty Classrooms' & then comments. I'm both a parent & former educator so a lot resonated

Was/was NOT surprised hardly anyone mentioned the impact repeated C19 infections has on student absenteeism, learning, behavior etc
AND on teachers🤨

If one wishes to bring a portable air cleaning device to a hospital, what’s the best way to push back against the misconception that it “interferes with the ventilation system?” I could also foresee claims about them being non-sanitary.
