I have a major problem.
Someone says to me "my kidneys are failing", and I think "that sounds like covid".
Someone says "it's like the entire planet’s frontal lobes have been taken off line." and I say "that sounds like covid".
Someone says to me "my granddaughter aged 6 has suddenly started having seizures" and I think "that sounds like covid".
Someone says to me "my son has developed a heart condition" and I think "that sounds like covid".
Someone says to me "I've had a retinal occlusion" and I think "that sounds like covid".
Someone says to me "all of the teeth in my lower jaw have fallen out" and I think "that sounds like covid".
Someone says to me "I keep getting every infection going and each one levels me" and I think "that sounds like Covid".
Someone says to me "my son is having an appendectomy six weeks after he had covid" and I think "that sounds like you know that it's covid".
Someone says to me "my niece is in hospital in an induced coma because they're psychotic, have pneumonia, and are having seizures." and I think "that sounds like Covid".
And a hundred other variations.
These were all said personally to me (apart from the frontal lobes one, that was an oblivious someone on twitter) and I could list dozens and dozens and dozens more.
And I think it sounds like Covid, because I know what Covid can cause.
I know it can affect **every single function** in your body.
I know it can damage **every single organ** in your body.
And my problem is that I know this, but the world doesn't.
Even the people who should be aware of it and who should be shouting warnings about it.
But for some reason, either their eyes are blinded to what's going on, or their brains can't process it, or their mouths are shut.
And so all I can do is say what I see.
Again and again and again and again.

Ten things people say about Covid, what they mean, and what I'm going to say next time they say them to me
1
Covid isn't done with you.
It's going to keep infecting you until you die.
2
That sentence isn't complete.
You sound like you want to add the word 'once' at the end of it, but the right word to put there is 'endlessly'.

Life expectancy in the US plummeting.
The sickers say "you've got to live life", but by the end of all this, they're going to live ten years less of it.
Seriously, that graph is plummeting.
When's it going to stop?
Look at the irregular fluctuations in the climb.
Look at how precise and clean the drop is. Image

My bet for Xi Jinping's turn around?
He caught Covid at that summit.
Put me down for €5.

Do you know why you don't know any round-the-world sailors?

It's because of a commonly known phenomenon in which round-the-world sailors die from Strep A within days of getting off their boat at the end of their lonely journey.
Sad but true*.
*not at all true.

I love all of James Felton's books.
Assholes is great.

But my favourite is 52 Times Britain was a Bellend.
If you're British, you should read it to learn about some of the times we were total bellends.
And you get to laugh at yourself along the way.
If you're not British, you probably already know that we have been total bellends, but you'll learn about a few more times, and you can laugh at us along the way.

I would like the immunity debt fraudsters to make two lists:
The infections we must keep getting to 'maintain immunity'.
The infections we should avoid.
And then I would like them to explain why there are two lists, and how they chose which should be on each list.
And then I would like them to propose the mechanism by which we catch the first list and avoid the second list.
