Here's a question about Covid.

Are Things Getting Worse?

Do you think things are getting worse or better?
📈🧵
You probably wouldn't have thought so from the way everyone is acting or talking.

But...
Have a squint at this graph.
It's the amount of Covid in Scottish Wastewater per week. Image

People just don't seem to understand the significance of this.
Do we have to explain everything?

Not only is the 50% increase in sickness absence hurting efficiency, the sicknesses *cost money to treat*.

If this is representative of the population, it suggests huge increases in healthcare needs and costs."Sicknote Britain: Doctors are getting sicker" 24 graphs showing the different reasons that doctors in English hospitals and healthcare settings are taking sickness absence. 18 of the graphs have increased significantly since pre-pandemic levels.
If people are *off sick* 50% more, that's a pretty strong indicator that people are *sick* 50% more.
And if people are *sick* 50% more and *off sick* 50% more, then puts a dent in each individual person's activity levels.

Arg. I'm just going to bash through a messy thread.

I've been whacking my head against this data for three months after looking it up, and it's only got worse for the last three months.

It's about that question "are people still getting sicker".

Summary in the next tweet...
Basically, I'm starting to think that there's a trend of sickness absence worsening since 2020, but that *2022* was an outlier.

So things gradually get worse 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024...
And I think 2022 was a/the blip.

Insurance News:
"Reacting to a troubling rise in chronic illnesses among younger Americans, two organizations... have joined forces to form a new initiative... to help insurers better support policyholders before they become critically ill."
😮

Read it.
It's all the health problems caused by Covid infections wrapped up into one health insurance news story.
👀

Thanks to @MeetJess and @acrossthemersey
👀 "a stark new reality: more Americans in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are developing serious conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease—conditions once associated with aging."

I guess most western people seeing the name 'Operation Sindoor' will think it's just a dull neutral military name, but oh boy it is not. 👀

Sindoor is *the red line* drawn in *the parting of the hair* at a Hindu marriage...
And the military Operation Sindoor is *a line of blood* in the *partitioned region* of the Kashmir Valley, overwhelmingly Muslim, politically fragile, deeply contested.

A red line in the parted hair of a Hindu bride... drawn in a Muslim region. 😬
That's not a name chosen by a computer or by mistake.

I had an English NHS doctor replying to one of my tweets the other day saying "no one's more sick now, stop these lies".

Except... there's a problem there because the NHS publishes data about how many doctors are off sick each month...Image
And this is what it looks like in graph form.

This is *how much more likely* doctors in Hospitals and Community Health Services (HCHS) are to be sick in each of the last five years than in the three years leading up to the pandemic. Image
I mean the data is published *every single month* for anyone interested to go and look at it.
