I have one message for Elon Musk

If you are well, without symptoms, these things can help keep you well this winter 👇 🔹 A facemask (FFP2/3 offering the best protection). 🔹 Ventilating indoor spaces wherever possible. 🔹 Washing hands and keeping surfaces clean. 🔹 Getting vaccines if you're eligible. (2/2)

Well that changes things a bit - well actually quite substantially…..

totally unaccceptable there is enough sensitivity about even senior doctors doing it, even when we have consulted the patient/family PAs have no business doing this

This is a long thread but a must read and listen. It’s a master work compendium of everything that was muddled, dissembled and misunderstood about PPE, with more than a hint of cover-up. Well done.

If you are unwell with any winter virus or COVID-19, staying at home to recover is usually the best option. Doing that also helps reduce transmission in the community. If you do need to go into an indoor setting, a well-fitting mask can help protect others around you. (1/2)
