CoronaVirus
People keep getting Covid, again and again. The sooner we develop a public health response that acknowledges this the better. Failure to do so is ruining people's lives and ruining our economy.

Zahawi: "What I have continued to do is not to put a mask on, but I wash my hands regularly â I try and sanitise them, because as you can imagine you shake hands with lots of people during the day."

No wonder covid is rife in our schools.

Even the Government recognises that staying home when infected is crucial, but the numbers doing so are plummeting.
In large part this is because many people can't afford to do so. As @chrischirp showed, the poor are least able to work from home and can't afford to stay off work. pic.twitter.com/KaNAEsEjZW— Stephen Reicher (@ReicherStephen) April 4, 2022

Asked why New Zealand does not suffer from the rage of older white men like in other western Anglo countries, PM Jacinda Adern replied, "Because we've never allowed Rupert Murdoch to set up a media outlet here." The guy has wreaked havoc on civil society in US.

Right now, New Zealand is the best country in the world to live in.
We have been spared the worst of Covid due to luck and hard work. Our generally pro-social culture led to very high vax rates. That is the key.

Not a study, but informativeâin 2016, kid in Macedonia made big bucks from creating & spreading fake news. He didnât care if got clicks from the left or right, his only goal was to make money. The left didnât fall for his pro-left fake news stories. https://t.co/TQaKxcZHSH

2 of my early onset Alzheimerâs clients are under 52.
Both contracted COVID 4 months ago, they are now placed and one is completely aphasic.
Prior to their infections they both lived seemingly normal lives.

Talking about covid âcasesâ in England is not meaningful because free symptomatic and asymptomatic testing stopped for most people, unless youâre talking about prevalence survey results like the @ONSâs Thatâs 1 in every 13 people on the week ending 2 April.

âOf people with self-reported long COVID, 561,000 (33%) first had (or suspected they had) COVID-19 before Alpha became the main variant; this figure was 253,000 (15%) in the Alpha period, 470,000 (27%) in the Delta period, and 334,000 (19%) in the Omicron period.â

Not only do I find this 2022 scale back to 2020 ignorance painful as a public health expert aware of the importance of proper surveillance, but also I can see how this is likely to adversely affect patient care, social & economic support, stigma & widen health inequalities.
