Wow! If you're entitled to the flu vaccine in the UK this year then you're also entitled to antivirals if you become ill or exposed.

For some, the first 48 hrs of 'flu are critical.

Call your GP or 111 for treatment if you receive an NHS 'flu vaccine based on risk, even if you have only been exposed.

The interrogation room in #StarTrekTNG's "The Drumhead" (middle row) earlier appeared as the courtroom in "The Measure of a Man (top row). In between, it was also seen as the replicator center ("Data's Day"↙️), Drafting Room 5 ("Galaxy's Child"⬇️) and the cybernetics lab ("The Offspring"↘️).

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Just like you, so many other people have been pleasantly surprised by how good The Orville is. If you liked the Topa storyline in episode 3, you're going to love what's coming up later on. It's so exciting and emotional and so well written. Enjoy!

In Great Britain, there are about 1.7 billion passenger rail journeys each year without serious incident (about 150 million a month). It's worth keeping perspective as news media discuss banning knives on trains or installing scanners at stations.

Why don't JCVI recommend boosting all clinically vulnerable people? It's not just the immunosuppressed and >75s at greater risk.

Genuinely unsure how this works. Does the gov set a budget for JCVI?

Many CV reduce their risks and have no recent infection "natural immunity".

#KeepCovidBoosters
📊 Post vaccination data is clear that immunosuppression and age are NOT the only risk factors for Covid-19.

ONLY those conditions marked green qualify for vaccines (unless on immunosuppressants / o75).

Clean air in schools can improve attendance for everyone but esp clinically vulnerable families and kids with allergies.

Remote education cab help clinically vulnerable, SEN and poorly/injured kids stay on track.

Recognising clinical vulnerability in the Equality Act could help all this happen! 🤞
CVF💙💜💗's Closing Statement

⚠️SAFETY
- Schools must be made safe.

👩‍🏫SUPPORT
- Children must be given appropriate support to continue their education at home.

🛡️STATUS
- Clinical Vulnerability must be recognised as a distinct group in the Equality Act.

As the Children's module comes to a close,
@adamwagner1.bsky.social KC will be sharing our closing statement.

Boris Johnson said that "ALL children MUST be in school" and implemented strict fines and prosecutions for non-attendance.

Human rights to #educationANDlives put in conflict.

I know a few children suffering seriously debilitating effects of long covid.

Some have been withdrawn from school, some only attend for a few hours and they're still struggling.

Kids deserve to be educated without being disabled in the process.

Like many clinically vulnerable families, we were threatened with prison, fines of £1,000s and losing my job and my child's school place.

All because my family chose to protect our lives by temporarily educating at home.

It was the most stressful time and it must never happen again. 😭

AW "Do you understand why... many [Clinically Vulnerable families] will have felt it was safer to educate their children at home...?"

BJ "I can see why they might have felt as they did. But clearly I thought it was best for everybody if they could get back to school."
