Ok.

This is a shit thread, and very depressing, so, yes, please, flick past it, or just block me.
I'm in my fourth decade of working with young kids. I've done it in different roles in different places, but I've done it steadily throughout that time.
Throughout that time I've interacted closely with different age groups within 0-10s.

This one still concerns me.

There could be lots of possible explanations for it, but no one's providing them.

If you know what John Cunningham Virus does... then it would concern you too. Image
It could be down to:
Increased testing and monitoring in at-risk groups.
Increased usage of MS drugs like natalizumab and ocrelizumab.

Here's another one to look out for.

Someone this morning said, "it's another one with leg problems, there are so many with leg problems".

Wounds not healing
Skin ulcers
Infections like cellulitis
Tissue death
Blood clots
Swelling and oedema
Varicose veins
Cold, numb, blue toes
Loss of strength
Loss of balance
Loss of feeling

There's a six month old in our community just been admitted to hospital because they've been affected badly by a covid infection.

I am concerned about the effect of Covid on this age group.
Covid infection does two things:
It causes short term health problems.
It causes long term health problems.
The main reason that covid infection isn't causing even worse short term health problems for *everyone* is vaccination and previous covid infections.
