I'm in a lull on twitter without much visibility, so probably hardly anyone will see this, but here's an important thread on "why everyone's sick all the time".
No, you are not imagining it.
Sickness is increasing.
Sickness absence rates are increasing.
Long Covid Awareness Day really threw me a curveball this year.
I thought I had my feelings under control now, but the anger I am feeling today is off the charts.
Here's a quick thread of
Ten things about the Covid Pandemic that make me furious:
๐จWOW! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party now has almost 75,000 signatures! Letโs get it to the 100,000 needed!

And yet thereโs so much that can be done to bring down these figures. Clean air, donโt attend work when sick, test for sickness and thatโs before even considering masking which would be such a huge win.

The three graphs that *every person* needs to see.
The question that every single person needs to ask their government:
What are you doing to protect me from Covid infection?
A very interesting post as usual by @1goodtern but I also think this will be an even โbiggerโ problem because of how western medicine works in a compartmentalised fashion. They canโt see links now (to covid, immune damage etc) - looks like theyโll find it even harder in future.
I think we've let the damage that covid infections do to *linings* slip into the background of all the other problems that covid infections cause.
I think this may be a *big* problem.
On September 16th, 2014, Farage and Nathan Gill made speeches in the European Parliament parroting the same Russian propaganda lies.
Could this have just been a coincidence? It seems unlikely.
Farage and Gill both used the expression "poking the Russian bear."
They both parroted Russian lies about NATO and EU expansion.
They both called Ukraine "The Ukraine," a term which refers back to the old Slavic word for borderland, which Russia uses to deny Ukraine's nationhood. Russia's basic justification for invading Ukraine, is that it is not a real country; that it is a fake nation, whose deluded Nazified inhabitants fail to recognise that they are Russian.
Farage and Gill both repeated the Russian claim that the real threat was Muslim extremism, a claim that Putin had very effectively used to distract Western leaders from Russian aggression and its hybrid war against the West. It's a tactic that Russia is still using via its Western tools.
The Reform UK leadership tried to pretend Farage had nothing more than a passing acquaintance with Gill, a claim that was soon exposed as a lie.
The Kremlin promoted Farage on Russian TV, doubtless hoping he would be of useful service to Russia. He has undoubtedly more than fulfilled their expectations.
Farage poses as a patriot, but the opposite is true. He has acted as the vehicle of hostile foreign interference in our politics.
This is a choice. This doesnโt have to happen. 170 students sick in one day. At a cost of about ยฃ100 per student, ยฃ17,000 in a day.
How many air filters would that buy?
Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Literally.
NHS England: โIt will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.โ
This has got to be one of the most ๐คฏ things Iโve ever seen written down in an official document.
What on earth is going on.
Seriously.
Where are the doctors raising the awareness about this?
Where are the journalists screaming?
What is wrong with everyone?
Hospital episodes for babies with heart valve problems in England.
A big thank you to everyone who retweets this and quote tweets it.
Twitter is strongly suppressing Long Covid related posts so every share matters.

So sad reading this. Endometriosis has long been pretty much ignored by medical professionals and I know of the gaslighting (at worst) and shrugged shoulders (at best) that so many women have endured. Now there will be so many more.
In light of the fact that repeated studies suggest that women are more likely to be develop Long Covid, I think it's really important to know what's happening with the different health conditions that specifically affect women.
This is a painful thread at times.
And this is why we canโt trust ANYTHING that public health tells us any more, because when itโs contradictory which bit can you trust - none of it!
Public health is just shot in so much of the West.
They just don't know what to do with infectious disease.
Example here regarding whooping cough...
