Aotearoa Covid Action
@covidactionnzAdvocating for a comprehensive and equitable Covid response.
The numbers are there, Professor Michael Baker has talked of a Summer wave, and we're hitting the most social time of the year. Please protect yourself and your loved ones. Repeat infections are concerning as RIs increase the risk of long C0VID. #COVID19NZ #SafeSummers

A big shout out and thank you to everyone who participated in @covidactionnz's Schools Making Change hui last night. A lot of good ideas were shared and there are now positive actions to be followed up on. If you're based in Aotearoa New Zealand, reach out if you're interested.

Clean air in schools translates to better health for all. Join us: facebook.com/events/3857590… You can see the details even if you don't have a Facebook account.
There's been an increase of about 10,000 on the Jobseeker benefit from a year ago. Yes, job cuts abound but we wonder how much of this increase is people suffering from Long Covid.
We need to build political pressure for measuring and improving air quality in schools. Please feel free to invite anyone else interested in attending or organising to our online hui Nov 5. We are all in it together. facebook.com/events/3857590…
Masks being reintroduced in some UK hospitals again already. Covid floats on the air like smoke or dust. Wear a mask/respirator designed to stop smoke or dust. FFP2+ or N95+.

🧵Today is the last day anyone can get tested for COVID for free! PCR testing was defunded years ago, and RAT access has been far from equitable but making a difference because we are being reinfected again and again due to a complete lack of mandatory public health measures.
We just released a 90-minute Primer - a condensed version of the full course - to give busy teachers and parents an overview of the issues and practical tips on what they can do to minimise health risks from covid. covidsafetyforschools.org/primer
