So.

The CDC finally releasing some practically useful ventilation and masks for kids guidelines…

After government responsibility (payment) for emergency management has ended…

The clearest sign on how much government influence there is in the CDC?
American CDC that is…
What does that mean?

If we declare a PHEIC then we get only the advice the government is willing to pay for?
That has been our experience really… so I guess we know what to expect next time too… unless we can somehow make CDC seperate from government influence…

and this is something #auspol needs to consider as Australia sets up its CDC too.

The immune system is not like a muscle.

It’s more like a fire.

It has cascade amplification systems that explodes into action, clearing out infection but leaving behind a mess too.

Repair then occurs, with varying degrees of success.
It really is up to you now… how often you want to burn down your house and then attempt to rebuild it.
In the ideal world, the next time infection turns up… smaller responses are supposed to deal with it, but C19 is evasive, and so each time a huge inferno occurs.

I can’t even begin to describe how ineffective our plan to use immunity as the first and only line of defence is.

Here’s the thing…

Very concerning COVID variants will arise at some point.

That’s pretty high probability.

When this happens with flu, we declare a new pandemic emergency.

Chances of that happening with C19???
I think the chance of a new PHEIC being declared for C19 is low… even if it needs it.
Here’s another question…

If another PHEIC was declared for C19… do we even have the resources to meet the challenge?

They promised us they would be responsible regarding C19 hospitalisations & deaths.

W/out public reporting this can’t be assessed and is an affront to democracy, as was the initial decision to open up Australia without a public referendum on the introduction of disease. #auspol
There wasn’t even a debate on it…
No costs calculated and presented to the public.

I do wonder if the “end” of the flu pandemic over 100 yrs ago there were doctors like me saying “What are you doing? It’s still killing truckloads of people!!!” as some countries attempted to ditch the masks and others looked on in horror…
How many lives would we have saved… what would life expectancy have been like… in the intervening years if a culture of caution with respiratory illnesses had been maintained…
Well, now we have flu and COVID and all the rest of it… bacteria, viruses, poverty, social inequality, erosion of trust, rubbish healthcare systems that were either never fit for purpose, or rapidly being dismantled from being fit for purpose…

Great.

You are not going to believe me…

Here goes…

Two more kids at the school are wearing KF94 masks this week… and they don’t have COVID as far as we know…
There is something going on…

What’s going on in the “covid is over” sphere?
You all recall a few weeks ago I said someone had asked my kid where he bought his masks…

That was another kid…
