THREAD: I keep being asked when we can go "back to normal" or "like it was before". My personal thoughts:
We've added a new disease to our population, more infectious and more severe than flu.
The world pre 2020 no longer exists - we may want it to, but it just doesn't. 1/13
Please do read this thread before saying covid is now mild & only "vulnerable" are at risk so cases don't matter anymore.
Millions of people - our families, friends and colleagues - are in "vulnerable" category. Their right to quality of life (& life!) should not be cast aside.
My Asthma is controlled with inhaled steroids & a reliever, BUT if I catch a cold I end up on a high dose of ORAL STEROIDS as my lungs can’t cope. Yet apparently I’m not At Risk of Covid –a respiratory virus- any more than others my age. #asthmaticsatrisk@nadhimzahawi@asthmauk
