It couldn't be clearer, breathing in vaporised chemicals [that may also react badly with each other in the vaping process], is simply a risk too far!

Infection prevention and control isnโ€™t rocket science! We need to consider costs & potential benefits of improving hospital ventilation & airflow systems, & the cost effectiveness of testing & respirators that reduce COVID, flu and other airborne diseases.

And, @UKHSA, how exactly will @NHSEngland, and all other areas of the NHS and social care, cope when the next public health emergency hits the country?
Of course, it may already be here, with the damage being caused by the outbreak, and the of so many...

JoePajak,

Any observations given the latest @UKHSA 'estimates of COVID-19 prevalence over time by age group between 14 Nov 2023 and 24 Jan 2024, via the 'winter COVID-19 study, England'?
Given virus prevalence, and its impact, booster vaccine seems a 'no-brainer'?
