Mark my words: we are entering another SARS2 wave. I’m an occupational physician trained to see patterns at work. Looks like 1st wave-large nos people coming to work with virus-rolling around in fits of coughing, faints/collapsing, grey with nausea.1/

3/ no consideration of colleagues/more vulnerable people. Overall, grotesque failure of public health. And if you’re ill, don’t come to work. Presenteeism at its absolute worst. Perhaps not surprising given Govt attitude @LongCovidSOS @JCeoltaSmith @drclairetaylor @ScribblerPen

I’ve heard this all before in 2020. ‘Worst chest infection ever’, ‘think I’m better then ill again’ (usually with new typical Covid manifestation). People shd not come to work like this and spread it around-this is a healthcare/university environment-behaviour worse than pre-2020

Disgusting. I’m totally sick of people with Covid and other viruses deliberately spreading them round.

I wondered how long it would take for public health specialists to realise that TB rates were going to rise after SARS2 infection due to its T-cell depleting properties. It wasn’t going to take long. How on earth can they in all conscience have let this happen?

Klebsiella very specifically hosts SARS2 inside its cell structure as well. And is released with antibiotics, which releases SARS2 again, which causes an inflammatory reaction in those susceptible, which allows the bacteria to reestablish. Vicious cycle.

Yes it’s amazing how many people said they’d had so many fewer colds and coughs during the time they were working/not in school/wearing masks.

Things are v bad in Aus at the moment. This is what happens when environmental and occupational risk management is totally disregarded.

Lord Bethell, I predicted this in a published article I wrote in 2020, and I and many others have been advising government and various taskforces on the issue of Covid & its serious health consequences since incl impact on economy. The epidemiology is obvious. Please act. @somceo

Healthcare workers exposed to SARS2-a category 3 pathogen-should have been and should still be provided with appropriate hazard controls under Health and Safety at Work Act and all related legislation. Known then and known now. Airborne virus. No excuse. @EvonneTCurran @1goodtern

I can’t get over how many already vulnerable or disabled or ill people are being made so much worse by wanton abdication of public health preventions.
