THIS! If you have to wear an KN95 mask. Or better yet an N95 respirator like the 3M Aura.
RT @klillington: If you are planning to travel anywhere via any airport worldwide just be aware queues are huge, people are packed together slowly winding thru security and pretty much no one is wearing masks. Oh and lots of random coughing

Very interesting but doesn’t it mean we have to have boosters every 6 months?
RT @BallouxFrancois: Conversely, doubling the 'immunity window' from ~20 to ~40 weeks roughly halves the number of infections (Δ₂). Substantially increasing immunisation should be fairly trivial to achieve with a significant proportion of the population getting a yearly updated booster.

Yes @LeoVaradkar
Where is the info on ventilation?
Why is the mask mandate not reinstated?
Why do we have only 5000 doses of Paxlovid?
I would also like to hear from the Opposition.
Otherwise if I am still alive I will not vote for any of you in 2025.
That’ll learn them!

Not so fast with the bivalvent booster concerns. A thread from @sailorrooscout
RT @DrEricDing: 📈Surging #BA5 & #BA4 variants in both US & England. It’s looking like #Ba5 is the new fastest strain—which has ~10x increased in England in 1 month. Also notice that older #Omicron #B11529/#BA1 are already near *extinct*. I worry the “new” Omicron BA1 bivalent vaccine is behind.

Ah go on, get one!
RT @bmay: Someone has replied to my Faro airport Brexit departure exclusive 🇬🇧 queue pic from earlier this week (👇) saying ‘don’t go to Portugal then’, which is an absolute classic of the gammonati response genre.

RT @Astraea1974: An average of 20 people a day dying with Covid in the republic of Ireland. Almost total lack of coverage from media and politicians. Does nobody else find this *incredibly* disturbing?

@FergalBowers why is this not being covered by RTE?
RT @danobrien20: Covid deaths in the Republic of Ireland now running at 20 a day on average, which is one of the highest in the world relative to population according to https://ouworldindata.org/. Curious lack of coverage in media, and comment from zero Covid folk and others.

The phrase Rapid Review is ridiculous and a HTA didn’t have to take that long. I know because it was the last piece of legislation to go through the last European Parliament after tortuous negotiations. 😡
RT @MichaelRynne1: @lillyd45 @hughescraig90 Also a very disappointing update on #Evusheld becoming available anytime soon in Ireland.
It's available in most EU countries.

After reading this you should open windows on public transport and ask questions of companies. @johnwenger9 found this CO2 on @IrishRail. It is too high.
#WearAMask even a blue surgical one. NOT cotton. If possible KN95. They can be found in pharmacies. Press the nose wire in.
