So this.
RT @johnwenger9: Adopting the recommended measures on ventilation & air filtration would surely have helped prevent sickness and death, while also reducing the severity of the hospital crisis.
@DonnellyStephen - So why have they not been implemented?

Everybody in Ireland should be wearing at least a KN 95 mask in public places. Also around anyone vulnerable. There is no good reason not to. There are only bad ones. I’m sure you don’t want to seem indifferent to the lives of others….
At least think of your own.
RT @VirusesImmunity: A very important and informative thread about why the Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant is now dominating in the Northeast US and is expected to spread. Please protect yourselves and others…

RT @jbloom_lab: I want to discuss relationship between ACE2 affinity and fitness (transmissibility) of human SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Topic is of interest because defining feature of the new XBB.1.5 variant is increased ACE2 affinity relative to its parents:

RT @trishgreenhalgh: Bottom line: covid rates are sky-high. Nasty flu is also circulating. Hundreds are dying every week of preventable respiratory infections. Hospitals are full. Primary care is collapsing. It could be you or your relative on that 30-hour trolly wait. So WEAR A MASK!

Same in the US. @davidcullinane and @RoisinShortall a PQ needed re Paxlovid availability and difficulty in getting prescription.
I despair about all this.
RT @MichaelRynne1: @NChildersMEP Thanks Nessa.
I fail to understand why we are not using all the tools to keep people out of hospital.
46 covid deaths announced today.

Everything is NOT been done. Despite much effort by the likes of @MichaelRynne1 the drug Paxlovid is too difficult to get and you are not wearing the most effective mask. Unlike the doctor with you.
RT @DonnellyStephen: Last night I visited EDs @svuh and @Beaumont_Dublin to meet staff and assure them that everything that can be done is being done and acknowledge the enormous distress for patients and staff. I’ll update Cabinet on the situation this morning.

Extraordinary stupidity by @OlafScholz
Putin will interest this as weakness. If he wins the war somehow you will have wasted all the aid.
And he won’t stop there.
RT @NOELreports: Scholz confirmed Germany's refusal to provide Kyiv with Leopard 2 tanks.

Germany's ruling party foreign policy expert Michael Müller said Germany wants to avoid turning NATO into a direct war.

I love the slightly mean choice of the ⁦@CARROT_app⁩ weather bot. It talks too!
Todays weather plus "how many famous people can 2022 kill on its way out of the door"
Black comedy at its best.

This is why these kinds of politicians should never be called "strongmen”
They are not strong but weak and afraid of democracy. They rely on dramatic or fake backdrops to generate support. Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are two such people.

A bittersweet message but a lovely picture. Even if the people in it have to be in uniform.

This is the right thing to do. Even though 😢 Advice like this from Public Health in Ireland and the UK. For any reading this a cold can appear too like any ordinary virus in an adult but can actually be the RSV virus which you would rather young children not get this year.
RT @Stickit2Stage4: After a difficult month, it looks like I’m going to miss my granddaughter’s first #Christmas.

I have a cold (Covid negative). I won’t risk her health or anyone else’s.
