If covid infections make you *more vulnerable* to almost every other pathogenic infection by multiple mechanisms, then you'd expect increases in almost every other pathogenic infection.

And that's what we see.

Ten completely unsurprising news stories:
1
Dengue virus
"Cases of the mosquito-borne viral illness have touched a record high in the Americas this year."
reuters.com/world/us/us-cd…
2
Measles virus
"Measles cases in the European region doubled in 2024."

I was absolutely appalled to hear Bonnie Henry say "Personal Protective Equipment, the word we all dread".

You may have had an instant visceral reaction to that yourself, but here are the eleven things wrong with what she said:
It's like the head of NASA talking about the dread everyone has of space suits.
The space suit is something you *need* in space to be able to do the thing you want to do, and then to be able to do it again.

To hear the head honcho saying they dread it turns every single concept on its head.

I don't think I have ever been so appalled about public health policy, information, and communication than by what I'm hearing about hanta at the moment.

It's like people's brains are just switched off.
Like they can't think straight.
It's unbelievable.
I genuinely think we should *not* be at high risk of a universal spread of hantavirus, but we don't need universal spread for it to have been an absolute failure.
If there are a couple more generations of spread, then it risks becoming a nightmare.

Is that going to happen? I don't know.
Neither do you.
The WHO doesn't know.
No one does.

People are just not going to be able to get their heads round the slow incubation period of hantavirus.

On reflection, thousands of people have probably already been exposed, and those thousands could expose tens, even hundreds, of thousands more.
The sheer time scale is almost impossible to grasp when placed in the context of people engaged in the kind of fast international travel involved with a cruise ship.
You might think that's ridiculous because a cruise ship is slow and contained, but it's not the cruise ship so much as the interwoven pattern of flights people take to *get to and from* the cruise ship.

I'm just going to say it again once, as simply as I can, for everyone who is slow to understand this:

Covid infection damages the vascular endothelium, the delicate lining inside your blood vessels.

Hantavirus *targets* the vascular endothelium.
If you've had the first one, you're more likely to be susceptible to, and damaged by, the second.
I don't know how to explain it more simply.
