SAGE: One in 10 Covid patients die within 5 months of leaving hospital, while almost a third of those who survived the virus had to be readmitted, new research has warned.
Half of patients in hospital with COVID suffered complications
apple.news/A-e_qWLA6TDWOI…
💥One in four struggled when they got back home.

💥💥💥. Younger patients under the age of 50 were more likely to suffer complications.

This is far higher than the control group where just 2% died in the same timescales & under 10% needing readmission.

Important and balanced thread on Long Covid and kids.

And remember the primary rules of public health
1/ Act early (well, that ship sailed)
2/ Act fast (that ship has sailed too)
3/ Act decisively (yep- that ship sailed too)
4/ If in doubt apply the precautionary principle. (Um)
Also adding to @chrischirp valuable thread is a contribution via Israel suggesting we should not ignore the effect on kids.
Also another reflection on the value of vaccination.

Israel has started vaccinating 16-18 year olds with quite dramatic effect including before the second Pfizer jab + 19-21 year olds (army service?)

It looks as if it may well knock back transmission to age groups either side

(Frost)”became a figure familiar in many workplaces: the frustrated middle manager, whose resentment at an indifferent world that overlooks him gnaws at his pride. Do not underestimate the anger of the men no one remembers.”

Ouch.

John Kerr, a former head of the diplomatic service, described his former staffer as being “very diligent and conscientious, good at carrying out instructions, not always as good at querying instructions”. Kerr didn’t mean it as a compliment.

Damning with faint praise.
Off he went to offer a bit of boosterism to the Scotch Whiskey Industry.

I wonder what they think of him now?

His notable absence of commitment to a Brexit prior to the referendum made him an excellent fit for Johnson. For both Brexit was a career move. Image

‘If you wanted to design a virus dispersion hub, you could do worse’: the Cheltenham Festival, one year on | Coronavirus | The Guardian

The course was full of coughing, sneezing, shouting, drunk people. It was a madhouse from the moment we opened. “ theguardian.com/world/2021/feb…
“We were in a box in the Guinness grandstand on one of six tables, with a balcony close to the finishing line. There would have been 60 people in the room, and the viewing area was about nine square metres. So it was very crowded. “

These outdoor events are not simply outdoor. Image
They travel to them on trains, coaches, minibuses, buses, taxis and shared cars.

They use public toilets, bars, and dining facilities. They place bets indoors.

They stay in local hotels and B& Bs. They eat in local restaurants, bars and cafés...then travel home.

COVID-19: Rapid coronavirus testing done wrong risks dangerous consequences

Glad this is getting more coverage by ⁦@rowlsmanthorpe⁩

We know that 2 +ve healthcare workers in a Northern hospital continued working on wards courtesy of a negative LFT news.sky.com/story/covid-19…
A Sussex Care Home places the blame for 14/24 residents testing positive, 7 dying and some others seriously ill at the door of two failures

1/ delays in vaccination in Jan

And

2/ false negatives from LFT of care workers in their home.

theguardian.com/world/2021/jan…
Then there is this. Three of the four groups at this conference took negative daily LF tests as a green light not to wear masks.

Several went down with Covid (save in the 1 group that DID continue wearing masks).

I’m not saying this was INNOVA.
