Or… and just hear me out please…

We could control disease transmission so we have plenty of healthy adult workers.

When I was a kid, my Dad had a restaurant. I absolutely loved helping out, and yes, I can balance a LOT of plates on one arm.

But kids need to be kids. They should be at school/uni/TAFE/job they chose. Not driving forklifts or stepping in where adults left off.
How about we recognise the fact that we are making kids sick? The imaginary mini workforce is already under attack?

How about we #ProtectKids and give them space and time they need to grow?

Just a thought.
(I may have been the cause of the after dinner mint shortage…)

Single case report.

“This case appears to confirm the concerns that the CD4+ T-cell depletion associated with COVID-19 may promote the development of active tuberculosis from latent infection much like HIV does.”

So far

🔴EBV reactivation
🔴Possible TB reactivation
🔴Possible reduced ability to manage adenovirus
🔴Possible increased susceptibility to mould infections

You can’t see a pattern?
Acquired immune deficiency.

That’s what we call it.

When you start off with a standard immune system, and then you end up in a situation where you can’t fight off pathogens, or even ubiquitous environmental bugs that we basically can’t avoid.

Rabies 🤣🤣🤣. We want to live with a virus that’s going to make us more rabid? Great.
Just to clarify. If a virus shares one characteristic, doesn’t mean it shares all. Going rabid was a joke… not an actual clinical diagnosis.

But we do know cognition is impacted.
At least I think/hope it was a joke. 👀

Right, you had a brief break from viruses… just one year… maybe a year and a half… then we gave you a virus, and it made you unwell, then we gave you lots of viruses, and it made you more unwell… so what we need to do is keep giving you lots of viruses until you feel better.
Just for the record, babies in utero would still have been born with maternal antibodies to previous pathogens, lots of non COVID pathogens were not controlled (like the RSV outbreaks), adenovirus is endemic and we carry it for longer than a year and half…
There are a handful of pathogens that genuinely have reduced in circulation, like flu, and so immunisation is more important now… but we didn’t actually go into a sterile vacuum. Our commensals and many non-COVID pathogens are still with us.

Adenovirus can reactivate if immunocompromised. The source of infection may already be within the home or within the patient.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
“…severity of Ad4 infections in outbreaks appears to depend more on preexisting conditions in patients than on genetically determined, viral virulence factors…”
“Innate immune responses can create a state of adenoviral persistence, and repression of these host defenses can result in reactivation and dissemination of infection.”

I think it would be good if people stop asking family members of vulnerable people when they will unmask and go on holiday… and what their off ramp is.

Like… is off ramp code for bumping off the vulnerable person in the household? Exit strategy via coffin?
The faster everyone accepts that some of us can’t even go to a dentist without a risk benefit analysis, let alone a dinner party, the happier we will all be.
Do I walk around asking you about your personal choice not to mask? What makes you think you can ask me why I do mask? I know that tone says you aren’t actually interested in the answer.

Let it go.

“many families were reluctant to send kids back to class for fear of spreading Covid-19 to vulnerable relatives”
“When schools are open one day, closed the next, there’s a whole group of people who want security for their kids and the only way to do that is to opt out of the system and do it themselves.”
