Finally, there is a strong sense of compassion for those affected by the virus, particularly children.

| 1624434216720117760 | @chrischirp It is ridiculous these repeat infection in all age groups, but especially children. We are not getting any lasting immunity and it’s about time we faced it. The strategy is not working. Children’s bodies are growing, their brains and blood vessels need protected. | 119 |
| 1624434442021339136 | @chrischirp The fact that we don’t even know the number of reinfection is also a disgrace. My kids have had this 4x now. They haven’t even had 4 normal colds in their whole lives. 4 Covid infections in a year. About time paediatrics and the government and public health all did their jobs. | 77 |
| 1624428073876705282 | @chrischirp This graph from that document is just astonishing and very simple to understand https://t.co/jP81IKQGyr | 42 |
| 1626930896233177091 | Last time I checked positive cases, hospitalisations & deaths were all ☝️again! Still if we keep referring to the pandemic in the past tense I’m sure it will eventually, miraculously vanish! @dgurdasani1 @chrischirp @Kit_Yates_Maths @SGriffin_Lab @GabrielScally @globalhlthtwit https://t.co/HhOCyOD8yB | 28 |
| 1624418298426269697 | @chrischirp @jneill The narrative around protecting senior school over primary children has always been a source of confusion for @LongCovidKids When we highlighted these in January 21 the average age in our support group was 10. Thx to @jneill for better graphs for us nowadays 😍🙏 @mariacaulfield https://t.co/RZQIuoqAIx | 26 |
| 1626596529711771650 | @chrischirp We would love to see easier access to testing - with employers choosing to fund lateral flows. Often more than 1 test is required to identify a positive Covid result but at £2 each, during a cost of living crisis, we understand that serial testing is unlikely without support. | 21 |
| 1624449673107849216 | I look at this and see more evidence that older immune systems are more educated and work better (until near the end of life when they fail). The protection older people had seems to have gone AWOL. @chrischirp sees a big drop in young kids thanks to vaccines (they didn't have). https://t.co/9WNjjXfoU4 | 19 |

| 1626881501349437440 | Austria Well this growth is interesting. If its not some sort of reporting artefact I make that faster than weekly doubling ? @Jean__Fisch @TWenseleers @chrischirp I'm not saying its BA.6 or anything daft like that, but yeah, if it is BA.6 then, well, you heard it here first. https://t.co/ubFSkMgsx8 | 15 |

| 1626264263814676482 | @chrischirp Someone I know has tested positive for covid today. They have an outpatient appt early next week, and have been told it's fine to attend (I phoned and checked). This is why we will never get out of this pandemic. | 122 |
| 1624438322457108480 | @BecksBDaniels @chrischirp I will never ever agree with this. My kids don’t go back until they are negative and well. Sending kids to infect other kids tells you about what the strategy is. I did not sign up to that. | 119 |
