Are people sicker now than in 2019?
Civil servants in England are.
Sickness absence rates have *risen by between 12% to 23% across the age groups*.
Are things getting worse?
It certainly looks like it.
This is exactly what we predicted repeat covid infection would do.

*Reminds me I still think with some work this could possibly serve as a good TV show or mini-series premise. Pastor by day, virus/disease hunter at night, with a family. Or perhaps an animated version with an actual seabird. All proceeds would go towards COVID & Long COVID awareness, etc.

I find it really really hard to keep up with more than one social media site... I have a full time job, a family, and, you know, a life, so I don't post here much... but I'm going to try to share a bit more.

"It's time to talk about the vax and relax crowd again.
They got their shots, so the virus is now someone else's problem.
But vaccines *reduce* the risks of Covid's long-term harms *without* eliminating them.
The science never said that.
It is just what people chose to hear.

Read this thread and weep. Then act as if airborne viruses matter 😷
In the last year before Covid arrived in England, 4,059 people waited more than twelve hours to get admitted to hospital after the decision was made to admit them to hospital.
During the emergency phase of the pandemic that number rose to a staggering 48,626.

There seems to be a bipartisan agreement in the UK to let the NHS fall to pieces through neglect and underfunding. Or am I missing something?

The idea that 'cloth masks are good only for droplets' still circulates. Many have said this, but it is wrong.
Recommendations about cloth masks, from spring 2020, were based on aerosol evidence

We are living in such a state of denial that people are seriously debating whether or not Musk's Nazi salute should be seen as a Nazi salute. If that's where you are, you will be in the digestive tract of the monster long before you've managed to convince yourself that it is, in fact, a monster.

The whole thing about buying Greenland is because Republicans *believe* in climate change.
I mean like really believe in it.
They want it. They love the idea of it.
They're excited about the world burning and the north melting.
They're practically counting on it.
