Someone this morning said, "it's another one with leg problems, there are so many with leg problems".
And there are. There really are.
There's a wave of people here with lower leg problems that all feel kind of similar.
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
🚨
Look, I've gone round on this a few times, and I hope I'm wrong, but there seems to be a *really nasty increase* in mortality rates for under 1s here in the last 24 months.
People were already on top of this for the 2022 and 2023 data, but I think the trend has worsened.
Look. The deaths in that age range have trended up slightly...
... so if you're just looking at the deaths you might not notice that *births have kept on dropping*.
