Most people just don't understand the immune system, its different components, how covid weakens it, and what that leaves you vulnerable to. Image
We tend to imagine immunity as a single light switch.
On or off.

Maybe on a dimmer switch.
Strong or weak.
In reality it is a whole set of tightly coordinated systems, and covid happens to damage several of the ones you rely on for dealing with infections that hide inside your own cells.

Five simple facts about masks:
1
FFP2+/N95+ masks filter out fine aerosols.
They're built to capture tiny airborne particles that surgical masks simply don’t catch.
2
They seal to your face.
The fit is the point.
Good seal, good protection.
Poor seal, poor protection.

I keep getting messages and hearing snippets from people who sit in various cross-department government working groups.

Over the last couple of years there’s been a steady drumbeat of concern, but recent ones have felt a bit more like panic:
Things like mortality rising higher than births in some parts of the country, antibiotic resistance creeping up, disability claims rising, sickness absence climbing...
You'll have heard a lot of these in the news, but behind the scenes, some of the conversations are quite desperate apparently.

I quite like the bold insanity of the people who claim that the reason that there wasn't officially much flu, noro, adeno, rsv etc around in 2020/21 is because *they were all around but governments pretended they were covid*.

But It accidentally points to something profound.
That year those things (flu, norovirus, adenovirus, rsv, para influenza) *weren't around to cause death*.

So covid infections actually caused *a lot more excess than people have realised*.
Think about it.

In a normal winter, flu, rsv, other infections are the straws that break the camel's back for a lot of people.

I had an interesting conversation last week that I've been trying to process.

It was with a therapist who I'm supporting, and they said it was ok to share this thread and its contents.
I'm going to call them Sam, because I tried writing this saying 'they' the whole time and I kept on getting confused. I have also changed a couple of minor details to preserve anonymity.
When we last met, Sam poured out a load of heartache about their health, their family's health, and their friends' health.
