Make. It. Stop!!!

Wear a respirator. This is all preventable. Breathe clean uncontaminated air. Wear a mask. You won’t drink contaminated water, why breathe dirty air?

There’s lots of equipment to help you.

More and more young patients who were fit and well with long covid symptoms. They tell me
that something changed since the last Covid infection.

I have very rarely referred patients to immunology in the past. Now I refer at least once a month.

Covid kills and maims.

I am freaking tired and getting “charred” from seeing all these sick patients. I’m talking about fit and well young ones. Who now have immune dysfunction. Unwell. Even rhinovirus floors them and sent some to hospital and some was housebound for a week.

I’ve never seen this pre covid.

Just in case there’s a minute chance you are wondering why I’m missing for a while and if I have joined the masses and stopped masking and that I think Covid is a nothing burger.

WRONG!

Kids get Long Covid. Kids die at 4× the rate of flu from acute infection (that 7–10 days you felt sick, didn’t test, went back to work, and spread it).

LC has no cure.
1 in 3 risk lasting damage.
LC can & will destroy lives.
Probably yours & your kids’ if you don’t utilize airborne protections.

Australia: Over 65,000 COVID, 81,000 Influenza, and 50,000 RSV cases reported nationwide so far this year.

You can be infectious 48 hrs before symptoms. Stay home if unwell. If you go out, wear a mask and avoid indoor or crowded places.

A virus that infects the brain. The outcome will not be a good one. Look at the available research. Let alone a young developing brain. The kids are getting sick enough that parents are bringing them in with long covid symptoms. It is just sad that we have failed our future generations.

This RIKEN study demonstrates progressive improvement in source control and wearer protection as the filtration and/or fit factor are enhanced. Upgrading from a mask to a respirator results in a dramatic reduction in aerosol leakage.

“It’s taking off pretty quickly,” said Professor Catherine Bennett, warning that “if you’re exposed, you’re more likely to catch it.”

She added, “We might be in for a bigger winter wave,” and COVID deaths were 5x higher than flu—"So COVID-19 is still to be taken seriously"
