Looking at my weather forecast for the next 16 days and it reminded me of something. Image
Look at this bit here.
The wiggly line is the temperature forecast for the next 16 days.
Ignore the rain and sun bits.
Look at the temperature forecast. Image
Each peak and trough represents increases and falls in the temperature, but you can see that the general trend over the two weeks is for the peaks to become lower and the troughs to become lower. Image

Here's what I think:

I think the covid wave here in the summer/autumn damaged people's bodies in ways that made them more susceptible to other infections like Flu B, and made them more likely to spread it.

There's no scientific debate about whether Covid can do that. Image
The debates are only around how long the effects last and how bad the effects are for how many people.
Covid damages your body in ways that makes you more vulnerable to other infections.

Like the damage it has done to people's guts. The gut lining and the gut microbiome. Image

Occasionally I wonder to myself whether I'm nuts.
Am I wrong to be trying to avoid catching all the diseases that everyone is passing round in this country at the moment.

And then I come across some data like in the NHS Workforce Statistics...
You can find them here.
They're public and all available to download and ponder.

There is loads of interesting data in there... but one is of particular interest...

Holy cow 👀
I was writing a thread about something completely different, and I stumbled across the fact that 70% more NHS England staff are dying while working than ten years ago.

Do healthcare workers know about this?
#MedTwittera huge jump in the number of healthcare workers dying in 2020, but then the graph remaining high
Bobbling along at nearly 1300 a year now. 👀
The data is all in here.

Trump doesn't 'believe Russian propaganda'.

Trump doesn't function on the level of 'belief'.

He functions on the level of doing whatever he is told to do by Putin.
Belief implies conviction. Trump operates on being owned by Putin.
Trump doesn’t assess ideas based on their truthfulness or coherence, he does what he is told to do.

Yesterday in hospital a doctor in a flimsy surgical mask under his nose stood admiring my FFP3 mask.
Him: Oo. That looks like one of the good ones.
Me: Yes, it is.
Him: Has it stopped you catching anything?
Me: I've not been sick in five years.
Him: How do you know?
Me: I'm sorry?
Him: How do you know you haven't caught anything?
Me: I don't understand what you mean.
Him: I said how do you know you haven't caught anything.
Me: I didn't say I haven't caught anything.
Him: Oh, I thought you did.
