  1. Can anyone advise on my rights being made to go into the office as a Clinically Extremely Vunerable person, please? Have been told I can go in on quieter office days but this does not mitigate the risk of public transport. #CovidIsNotOver #LongCovid #CEV Occupational Health report is not back yet.

  2. Terrific article from @georgemonbiot calling out the #ableism and sheer blindness inherent in the catastrophic decision to end #masking in hospitals. While the anti-mask brigade seem to have won, surely healthcare settings are one area where even most of them can see the validity of taking this most basic of precautions? With this govt, it appears not.

  3. Waiting at the GP to have my flu jab and #Covid booster, and in the long queues which snake their way around the reception area I can see only 4 other people in masks 🤦‍♀️ At least all the doors and windows are wide open 🙄

  4. So for the second time in 24 hours my Covid booster has been cancelled. Apparently they don’t have an appropriate vaccine for me. #CEV #immunocompromis ed

    It's appalling that this seems the norm now even in medical settings. Given the fact that few people are even bothering to test now, (last week in the UK testing was down 28% on the previous 7 days) it's impossible to know the prevalence of Covid. For anyone who's #CEV it's terrifying.

  6. Cool, cool. So as a vulnerable patient I’ll just catapult myself into the safe portions of hospital then. 😒

  7. Michael Gove has suggested cutting child benefit for parents whose children are frequently absent from school. Because making families poorer and children hungry is really going to help their education ... Joking aside, this is seriously worrying, especially for families with anyone who's #CEV; children with #LongCovid; #neurodivergent children; marginalised families; victims of #bullying. The cruelty is deliberate.

    ... in an outbreak, with 5 of her colleagues and 1 care user already sick with Covid. It's so utterly stupid - and predictable. My daughter is one of the only ones who has never stopped masking, and last week had people telling her she was being alarmist 🙄

    Yes, wearing a mask is an inconvenience, but a very minor one. Thank you for this thread - it's good to see so many kind and thoughtful people here.

  9. This is infuriating. It seems releasing data on the R rate is “no longer necessary” as the UK is living with #Covid thanks to #vaccines and therapeutics. It seems the govt don't want the public to know the rate of infection. It's all too reminiscent of Trumps "stop testing and the numbers will go down."

  10. Terrific, measured and factual article from @kityates outlining the very real dangers of #Covid, and the need for mitigation. Unfortunately, as Kit says, the Tories seem determined to pretend it's no longer a problem: "When it comes to Covid this festive season, the government’s policy seems less reminiscent of shepherds watching their flocks, and more of being prepared to let it grow, let it grow, let it grow."

    Apologies for the RT, but this is a terrific thread from @1goodtern over on Twitter, debunking myths and conspiracy theories.

  13. CW: 1/9 Thread on latest Covid & NHS Situation as we head into Christmas

    @markusl @chrischirp
    From what I've seen, some people seem to think that as the vaccines haven't completely stopped transmission, it's not worth getting one. But I'm #CEV and fully boosted, and as far as I know, haven't had Covid yet (unless a nasty cold in March 2020 was the virus ...). With no publicity for the latest Covid statistics, many just ignore it. It's so utterly stupid.

    @chrischirp
    Thank you, Chris - it's vital to have this information. It is hugely alarming that most people seem to think it's no big deal now. When I go shopping I maybe see one or two other people in masks now. I'm #CEV, and luckily most of my family and friends are relatively sensible, but there is no leadership on this from govt or public health messaging, and no attempt to encourage mitigations. #CovidIsntOver

  15. @karambalesCDP
    What a terrific, and extremely sobering article. It is hugely upsetting to see how mainstream the "immunity debt" idea and blaming lockdown have have become. I just don't understand why people are so against simple, cheap mitigation in schools - it would benefit everyone.

    I'm #CEV, and am lucky that my daughter's left school and I'm no longer teaching. So sad to see vulnerable families suffering.

    ps - Karam, #hashtags would help amplify this.

  16. I’m new from Twitter and hoping to be able to connect to similar communities. Beyond #socialscience , #academia #climatechange and #ClimateJustice I’m hoping to connect with #disability #disabilitytwitter. I’m trying to thrive with #chronicillness and #disability. I’d like to connect with other #disabled #cev and #disabilityjustice profiles. I’m especially hopefully to follow those updating on #covid and #Evusheld

  17. @bookwyrm My two are 11 and 13. We have a lot in common, #CEV or #VHR household too.
    We plan on all of us getting through together.

  18. This weeks independent SAGE session on covid safety, with regard to the #CEV community:
