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.

We have a group of lovely birthing groups and parenting groups that use some of our building regularly, and I get to chat to them - women who are pregnant and women who have young babies.

They are *in a bad way*.

In one of the expectant mothers groups, two of the nine had to stop work early due to complications in their pregnancies.

I sometimes hear things like that and wonder to myself if it is actually something that is becoming more common, or whether it's my imagination.

The problem with science denial is that once you start, you just can't stop.

When you deny any science, you switch on an overrule function in your brain that you can use on any information you dislike.

The more you use it, the more effective it becomes.

And the more detached from reality your brain becomes.

I'm not kidding.

It's absolutely time to talk more about this.

This kind of scabies that they're describing in here is *horrific*, and it's a result of *a weakened immune system*.

But LadBible are mistaken to think that it's just in Devon...
It's everywhere here.

But there's worse news...

It's not just scabies that's a problem...

It's the weakened immune system that's a problem...

Which then makes all the other similar infestations also a problem.
