Add to it the rapid recent increases in AMR and we could find ourselves in the same situation we were in a century ago, losing many more lives - especially children's - from both primary and secondary infections than COVID took.

That is a LOT of botflies.

Seems like the message to patients is: sit tight, and look it could be worse.

It's because we work globally because ...newsflash... Pathogens don't recognize administrative boundaries.

I guess health is just a Democrat issue. 🤦🏼‍♀️🫣

This is so awful. I hope when the Dems get back in power they put all these 'norms' that have been broken into law. This is how politically unstable countries fall into disarray when they don't have stable independent institutions.

Based only on personal experience and lack of a definition, I'd say that I'd believe over half have some form of disordered neurological issue.

Based on what I know of biology, use of the word 'typical' is the mistake that leads people to believe e.g. there are only 2 sexes.

Anxiety a)often accompanies neurodivergence particularly in people who mask well and b) feels pretty damn disordered to anyone who's ever truly experienced it.

Unfortunately your post doesn't clearly state that the headline is misleading/premature at best.
