Can’t believe we’re at the point of reminding the public & companies that keeping poo 💩 out of the water we use (for swimming or playing) is important. Dirty water & poor sanitation are a major cause of disease globally.

Keeping human faeces out of the waterways people use recreationally is a key public health intervention.
Water companies can and should act on sewage and effluent discharge.
We lay out why and how below.

Morning- why has polio been detected in London, how was it identified & what’s the appropriate public health response? My column here: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Few things more stressful than having a loved one ill & seeing them suffer. Sending warmth & strength to all those caring for others & taking on daily tasks that our society doesn’t notice or value adequately.

An increasing number of people I know are testing positive for COVID & quite a few are unwell at home. Reminder that it’s not your fault if you get COVID, it’s not your fault if you’re sicker than others you know & your employer should offer sick leave so you can rest & recover.
Though I’ve lived here for years & it’s a stunning place, still can’t get over how cold Scotland is in summer 🥶- Arctic breeze every few seconds.
Monkeypox not a PHEIC. My reading -> yes it’s a major problem & requires strong response. But Monkeypox (along w/other neglected diseases) has been a problem in certain African countries for a while -> just bc it’s now in rich countries, doesn’t justify emergency declaration.
The IHR Emergency Committee for multi-country #monkeypox outbreak advised the WHO DG that the event, currently, does not constitute a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). @DrTedros accepted the Committee’s advice.

PT-related tweet: as part of healthy ageing, good to incorporate strength & resistance training into fitness. Too many people (esp women) seem afraid of weights thinking they’ll get bulky. It’s actually hard to get muscly without certain diet & nothing wrong with muscle 💪.
He didn’t mention COVID at all despite rates being super high now. Where is the UK on offering boosters (enhanced protection from severe illness) this Summer/Autumn before a likely 22/23 winter wave?

Interesting that the PM acknowledged he “stuffed up” - the closest I’ve heard to acknowledging personal failings in an interview.
Abortion is legal in California.
It will remain that way.
I just signed a bill that makes our state a safe haven for women across the nation.
We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.

Thank you 😊- Cardiff is lovely so hope the train ride is worth it. Cornwall is also tbh!
@devisridhar On the slowest train imaginable between Cornwall and Cardiff but riveted by Preventable. Thank you! You have been a keystone wise voice throughout and the book is fascinating.

For polio, we have a safe & effective vaccine that's part of routine childhood immunisation. The best way to protect yourself & your family is through vaccination & also good hygiene (often spreads through 💩). Polio is a serious disease and can cause death & paralysis (2/3).
Most people's intro to global health has been through COVID. But each disease requires a tailored public health response depending on the tools we have, how they work & how the disease spreads. For polio, public health teams are working hard to identify cases & limit spread (1/3)

Last case of wild polio in UK was 1984 & no clear transmission/cases found yet. But good reminder to ensure vaccinations up to date (polio is part of routine childhood vax, on vaccine pass as IPV) & good hygiene (often transmitted through 💩).
US steams ahead with COVID vaccine for under 5s 👏- would be good to have UK JCVI decision on this soon as well as on broader booster campaign. Summer is the time to prepare for winter.
Great news for parents: The COVID-19 vaccine is approved for kids under 5. As appointments ramp up, you’ll be able to find a vaccine at pediatricians’ offices, pharmacies, and more. It's safe and effective—this is another big step to protect our loved ones and communities.
