This is quite possibly the most absurd thing you will read today.
The stuff in the pictures, not the tweet with it.
Let’s take this one step at a time. For the purposes of this thread, I will be “vulnerable”.
This person is proposing that you all infect yourselves to maintain herd immunity, so that I can be safe…
Let’s also say for the purposes of this thread that herd immunity in the sense that you can prevent transmission to a vulnerable person is even possible. (NO SIGN OF THIS)
Look… it’s very kind of you all to offer to have long COVID or a stroke for me, but really, it isn’t necessary!

All you have to do, is wear a respirator and breathe fresh/filtered air.

I don’t want to put you, or your kids, to too much trouble.
I’ll be back. Too busy laughing.

How is it that this whacky science is winning? How?
Oh no, u no who is in charge. It won’t be the most absurd thing today… still, it’s gotta be top ten. 😂😂😂😂

Looking back, I can’t believe the number of tweets I spent trying to tell everyone that running a virus through a population does not make the virus “milder” as such. Some (temporary) immunity may build, but the virus is going to get fitter.

Kind of obvious now…
It’s going to explore the transmission, replication and immune resistance space and take advantage of all the gaps that are found with the efficiency of a hacking program.
Our bodies have only got a limited number of ways to try to combat pathogens, and we are still not ahead of COVID-19.

OK.

On my most optimistic day…

how mild do I think a COVID-19 infection could be?

Not mild enough.

Until we can prevent all infection it’s going to get in the brain and set it on fire (inflammation).

Soz.
Im never going to say it’s an acceptable risk to cause chronic brain inflammation. 🤷🏻‍♀️
We could probably push down the risk of diabetes and thromboembolic events with early and widely available therapeutics… (but resistance will be a challenge) but the brain.

The brain is a problem.

Mile 3.

I could do three miles with no training.

Y’all not in good shape.
Let’s face it… it’s not just the doughnuts, its a low likelihood that it is smoking, it’s unlikely the “lifestyle”.

Marathon runners take care of themselves for the most part…

Something is up. If it’s not COVID, then I would be surprised.
It could be one of the many rarer congenital heart issues, sodium channel problems/HOCM etc. of course… but as they say in medicine…

“Common things are common!”

and who knows why, but we have made an infectious vasculitis that causes myocarditis too… common.

I decided to listen to @KIIS1065 this morning.

They have a new presenter. Brittany Hockley. She has taken over from Jackie O after Jackie needed time off due to long COVID.

I did not like the show. Kyle Sandilands was horrible.
He told her on air in front of thousands of people listening while stuck in rush hour traffic that she was a nobody when it comes to pulling an audience.

He bullied her into discussing stuff she wasn’t comfortable about ->
He switched off the microphone to find out what it was she had been reprimanded over and then switched it on to spill the beans anyway.

Objectively the outcomes from COVID-19 infection are still too severe to tolerate in particular with regards to morbidity and workforce challenges.

Therefore we can’t “transition out” of the emergency phase of the pandemic safely.
I’m into stating the obvious today.
It’s not the flu, so why are we trying to use the flu plan?

“But this wasn’t a restful sleep. Infected people had difficulty falling asleep, woke up more, and had a more restless sleep especially when they were most symptomatic.”
Up to six months after an infection, 41 percent reported sleep disturbances; an additional 7 percent reported disturbances that were severe.
