It was humbling and devastating to read out names of some of our loved ones who died from Covid at the Inquiry today. So so many lost.

We began campaigning for this Inquiry over three years ago. In that time thousands of bereaved families have made enormous sacrifices in the hope that lessons could be learned from our losses, so that others wouldn’t have to go through the same awful experiences.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Thank you @DrAmirKhanGP for spreading the word about the importance of #ventilation and cleaning air by means of #HEPA filters in order to protect ourselves from 'winter' viruses (and those around all year....) Mask up too in crowded indoor places 😷 Stay at home when unwell 🏡

Here’s the clip x



Tomorrow I will be joining @CovidJusticeUK in Parliament as we launch our report 'Act Now, Save Lives: Preparing for the Next Pandemic': bit.ly/40lFjnQ Our recommendations will improve transparency and save lives in future pandemics @sarahsackman hope to see you there.

If you have cold or flu like symptoms likely to be #Covid so test but note study below - only 1 in 3 cases picked up so a negative result does not mean you don’t have it. Be guided by symptoms, prevalence & whether you've been in crowded, unventilated spaces week before.

Consider wearing a mask in high-risk spaces to avoid infections. 😷 Also, try to bring in fresh air. 💨 Risks increase with the 3Cs: 🏠Closed spaces 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦Crowded places ↔️Close-contact

As someone bereaved by Covid, thank you. The @covidinquiryuk needs to hear from people who were on the front line and those with lived experience.

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.

While a pandemic would always put pressure on the NHS, the scenes ‘from hell’ described by Kevin Fong were not inevitable, can never be considered acceptable, and must never be repeated.

Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

At a hearing today, the Chair of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry Baroness Hallett confirmed that bereaved families are to be excluded from Module 8, examining the impact of the pandemic on children and young people.

“Planning is under way to prepare for any [mpox] cases that we might see in the UK.” - UKHSA Shouldn’t we be a bit beyond the stage of “Planning to prepare”? buff.ly/3WGkArC

As an anti-racist, anti-oppression grassroots organisation, we stand in solidarity with members and neighbours under threat of racist + Islamaphobic attacks and rhetoric. We too call on the Government to address the conditions emboldening the far right

We offer our utmost solidarity to Muslim communities and people of colour affected by the racist violence unfolding across the country.

Far-right protester carted off by police in North Finchley.

Huge anti-fascist demo in N. Finchley. I felt uncomfortable there for past hour knowing there were people around me who don't like me or want me there but I had to be there to show solidarity with refugees + local Muslim community. There was a real edge though #refugeeswelcome

North Finchley tonight - one of the places the far right were expected - outnumbered massively by anti-racism protesters. Heavy police presence but largely calm.

Great vibe in Finchley, couple of thousand standing up to racism together and making it clear the far right have no place on these streets.

Unconscious bias (which is rubbish anyway) isn't unconscious if you know about it. So here goes... yet again. I've only watched about half an hour of gymnastics so far, but I've clocked "elegant, graceful, elegant and smooth, full of grace, etc." for white gymnasts and...

Johnson will rot in hell for his complacency over Covid which he could only ever see as a get-rich-quick opportunity for mates and donors.
