"I know the Minister will cite CQC guidance, but it is not strong enough, which is why so many feel that it needs to be enshrined in one form or another" Thank you @tracey_crouch for sharing not only your personal story last week, but that of your young constituent too #rfr 
"We have to say Never Again. As other Members have said, there is cross-party support & we will work with the Government to put this into law. Surely the time has come to create a new legal right to maintaining contact" Thank you @libdemdaisy for your support #rightsforresidents
"We are failing vulnerable members of our society and it simply cannot be allowed to continue. We must end all unlawful visiting restrictions and stop this unnecessary suffering and neglect" Thank you so much @EstherMcVey1 for speaking at the debate last week #rightsforresidents
"Guaranteeing the right to contact in care" Never Again must we treat our loved ones in care in this way, many sadly no longer with us, many died alone, many isolated, many felt abandoned we urge all MPs to join the debate tomorrow @DanCardenMP @tracey_crouch @libdemdaisy #rfrš§µ
Very long thread, with new guidance out, few care groups have updated their websites, from what we can see on their written guidance - mostly they are still requiring appointments, some are mentioning testing, some are very out of date. Let us know what your group is up to #rfr
First up #PorthavenCareGroup lots of talk of booking appointments - let us hope it is out of date #rfr porthaven.co.uk/visit-a-resideā¦
Next up @Bondcare1 - not updated since march 2021 - does not reflect well surely? #rfr

freedom for all - except care homes - here are some of the āfreedomsā still in place this morning - will there be a change in guidance? rolling lockdowns continue @GillianKeegan @sajidjavid and are you really going to bring in a āpay per viewā really? #rfr
As mask wearing goes - full PPE remains - right or wrong? But why such a difference from seeing family in different homes - a home setting nothing a (care) home setting - mask, gloves and aprons still required #rfr
We still need to be tested - makes sense, for now, but are we now going to be charged a āpay per viewā tax to see our loved ones? Most homes let families test at home now so - will we have to pay? @GillianKeegan #rightsforresidents
Who is doing what with regards to #essentialcaregiver status. Who is promoting, what does it mean?
In March @NCFCareForum put out a joint post with ourselves and have been actively pushing for fairer visiting ever since - thank you #rightsforresidents socialcare.blog.gov.uk/2021/03/30/parā¦

The @CareEngland 'charity' & @ProfMartinGreen make noises about #essentialcaregiver but until the recent change in guidance most of their members have been very reluctant to follow it, why? they have denied their 'customers' their basic #humanrights #rightsforresdients
We hope @NationalCareAsc would follow #essentialcaregiver guidance but on @BBCBreakfast their vice president talks of pods/screens for a single case - ECG can still visit during an outbreak (2+cases) do they not allow the guidance? #rightsforresidents
EpsteināBarr virus (EBV) is a human gamma herpesvirus. It is known to have infected and generally become latent in more than 90% of the global population [7], including more than 95% of healthy adults [8]. #EBV

"A variety of clinical manifestations have been associated with EBV reactivation. These include fatigue, psychoneurosis/brain fog, sleep disturbance, arthralgia, pharyngitis, myalgia, headaches, fever, gastrointestinal complaints, and various skin rashes." #EBV
"We found that 66.7% (20/30) of long-term long COVID subjects versus 10% (2/20) of long-term control subjects were positive for EBV reactivation based on positive titers for EBV EA-D IgG or EBV VCA IgM." #EBV / #LongCovid
The top 30 celebrated their year in social care last night with @CareTalkMag and @CareEngland. We hope all had a great night - @GillianKeegan the following thread may show you where #guidanceisnotworking #rightsforresidents
A brief monthly summary of the website review of the board members of @CareEngland companies and whether they are promoting #essentialcaregiver @CareQualityComm @KateTerroni was up for an award so hope you will read this and follow up asking why some are not #rfr
@Wellburncare hmmm no change from months ago - no ECG, promotes pods and 5 named visitors - that changed in JULY! #rightsforresidents wellburncare.co.uk/staying-safe
Today we are going to look at some of the current guidance that every care home resident/family/friend has to go follow (if they are lucky) - does any other part of society have 20 pages of who and how you can see your loved one? Time to revisit @GillianKeegan @sajidjavid #rfr
You might be allowed to hold hands but it come with risks.... they would rather you didn't, but if you do, keep it brief @MattHancock this was in place when you were in charge as well #rightsforresidents
At the end of the day it is all just guidance, it does not have to be followed, this is what we have found and care home providers/managers have the final say - many do - many really don't #rightsforresidents
8th March this year saw a long awaited changed in guidance for all - but esp for those in Care Homes, the big change- #Essentialcaregiver was mentioned and one named visitor allowed indoors and to hold hands (everyone else could meet in groups of 6 outside) #rfr
Screens/pods still mentioned for outdoor visits for more than one person, but this time more homes did open up. There was testing, PPE, time restrictions and supervision - some things mentioned in the guidance, others not but made up by local authorities or care groups. #rfr
Essential Care Giver did and still does seem to allude most people/care groups. We joined forces with @relresuk @NCFCareForum and @JohnCampaign to put in place some useful guidelines, sadly still needed& we need @CareQualityComm to enforce this relres.org/essential-careā¦ #rfr
Happy Easter to all our followers, it is the second year that most of us are unable to be with our loved ones in care, but we are grateful to all the carers and nurses working this weekend #rfr
We still have a long way to go and must ensure that #essentialcaregiver is enshrined in law, so this barbaric locking away of all those in care, young and old, can never happen again #rfr
We also look forward to continuing our work with @NCFCareForum @ageukcampaigns @Car_Abrahams @JohnCampaign @relresuk and our fellow #fivenations campaigners @ChrScotland @JulieannNally @2x2x2V and forming new parternships @CareEngland ? how about it? #rfr
As an emotional week ends, we want to reflect on what has been & what still needs to be done. New 'guidance' came into affect on 8th March. We all knew it was coming, it arrived late on Thursday. Some care providers have embraced, many just ignored our campaign goes on#rfr

"It also means an exponential increase in the # of wireless networks, which are energy-guzzlers (est. to be 10x less efficient than wired networks). In 2015 alone, the energy used to power wireless networks generated approx. 30 megatonnes of carbon, the same as 4.9 million cars."
