(Or possibly can’t be bothered to do the work to get it back.)
I also love the note that says that overseas strains will be closely monitored, not so much the ones transmitting within the borders.
Oh yes. Because a concerning new variant can only arise in the jungles of Africa, and not the gardens of Kent. (Clears throat…alpha variant).
Monkeypox, incidentally, main reservoir is not in monkeys. Rodents, squirrels and other small mammals like prairie dogs are amongst the diverse candidates thought to be the natural reservoir… so it’s a good job we don’t live in close proximity to rats then isn’t it. 🤦🏻♀️
I’m very worried about the finding that there is ongoing brain inflammation even 10 months post COVID-19.
I never put a lot of thought into this before even though others have said it, but we may get to a point where so many are cognitively impaired, we can’t do much…about anything.
It seems unbelievable that this could happen, and yet, just like in the movies, I’m watching the asteroid approach…
It started with “it’s fine to go to a giant indoor wedding” the middle was “so and so with a kidney transplant has COVID-19” and ended with “but no one in the community has died yet that we know so…”
Erm… it’s a bit late then?
How fast did they forget the young Mum that died three months ago, and left behind a 7 yr old kid…
I’m going to need to forget this conversation happened.
Maybe she wasn’t part of the “in-crowd”???
How close do they want the deaths to get?
The huge numbers lost overseas don’t count of course… no idea why…
Hybrid immunity in this study confers an additional 20% protection above 3 dose vaccination against infection… but you will buy this at a price.
Don’t take the risk.
A Canadian study I analysed a while back said similar. About 10% advantage (but included a broader age range).
“Qatar has an unusually young, diverse population — only 9% of its residents are 50 years of age or older, and 89% are expatriates from more than 150 countries.”
Be wary of studies in populations that are not the ones at increased risk of death/severe disease. ->
We should have used HEPA to make both hotel and eventually managed home quarantine safer.
It could have been done. It could still be done. Every time a new variant arises, it’s another opportunity to say no… we are not letting this one spread.
We could have put UVC in the upper part of the corridors.
The only reason this wasn’t done… they *always* intended to infect us all.
