Preventable deaths: of New Zealand's 4500-odd deaths attributed to Covid to date, it's possible about 600 were from hospital-acquired infections, Michael Baker said.
HEPA filters could change all that.

This isn't The Art of the Deal.
It's insider trading with a bad comb-over.
Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires
Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast
Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’
Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same

Long COVID and viral reactivation are linked. Our latest trial focuses on repurposing existing, broad spectrum antivirals to reduce symptoms in adults with #LongCOVID. Our clinical trial is currently recruiting! Email CoreResearch@mountsinai.org to inquire

We’re in year six of the Covid pandemic, and denial of Long Covid seems worse than ever.
Folks blame it on lockdowns, the “jab”, say it’s fake or a “liberal disease”.
They will use ANY rationale other than the obvious one.
Covid causes Long Covid, and yes you DO know someone who has it:

Yes. You do. This Long Covid Awareness Day I want to talk about the reasons why many people don't realize they have Long Covid, as well as why others choose to hide their diagnosis.

People need to pay attention to the long term harm caused by viruses.
HPV can cause cervical cancer
Mono/EBV can cause MS
We’re still learning what Covid will do long term, but what we know so far is not encouraging.
Wear a mask. Get your boosters. Test. Clean the air.

The ticker on the news channel said that there are new cases of brain 'complications' in children from flu.......
Complications = damage ??
I still think it is a result of post covid infections.
People will not wake up to the complexities of covid.

A bit of good news: NHS England hospital waiting list falls for 4th month in row. The lowest figures since April 2023. Considering the “quademic” and winter months, this is an achievement for both the NHS and Labour government.
So it’ll obviously be all over the news, right?

Brexit was a con.
Sold on a pack of lies by fantasists, ladybird libertarians, chancers, xenophobes and spivs.
On this day of all days we should take a moment to remind everyone of that.

Many of us are already severely chronically ill.
There’s a pandemic that is airborne and currently ongoing.
Adapting to a threat is not anxiety, it’s a justified, rational response
