Everyone should watch this 2 minute clip from a Dr Fauci lecture where he talks about two of the most misunderstood concepts in Covid transmission:

πŸ“59% of infections result from asymptomatic transmission

πŸ“Aerosol transmission predominates.

Understanding this is critical.
This clip was taken from a lecture hosted by the Science, Technology & International Affairs Program and the School of Foreign Service on 27 March 2023.

You can find the full video of Dr Fauci’s lecture at this link (the clip above starts at 16:30) πŸ‘‡πŸ»

I’d been dreading my son’s hospital appointment with his respiratory consultant this week.

We’ve avoided doing these face-to-face for some time by requesting phone consults instead.

But the Dr insisted on seeing him in person this time.

As anticipated, NO ONE was masked…

🧡
Now bear in mind that this was an outpatient clinic specifically for children with severe respiratory issues who are under the specialist care of one of the top respiratory paediatric consultants in the south of England.

But, apart from us, we did not see one other mask…
πŸ“The receptionist who booked us in was not masked.

πŸ“Other patients in the waiting room were not masked.

πŸ“The nurses who checked my son’s height & weight were not masked.

πŸ“And worst of all, the respiratory consultant himself was not masked.

🚨 Are people paying attention to the excess death data?

This one managed to slip past me last week!

According to ONS, there were 5,587 excess deaths registered in England & Wales in June.

That’s a whopping 13.6% above the 5 year average.

186 extra deaths EVERY SINGLE DAY!
…oh, and by the way, that’s excess deaths calculated using the ONS baseline…

…which now includes 2021 & 2022 (two out of the three pandemic years) in their 5-year average baseline.
Chronic lower respiratory diseases were the leading cause of excess death in June 2023…

And ischaemic heart diseases and heart failure/other ill-defined heart disease were in 3rd and 5th place.

EG.5.1 & the SURVEILLANCE SITUATION IN THE UK, a thread 🧡

Well, it now seems fairly clear that it’s the new EG.5.1 variant (shown in red in the chart) which has been driving the rapid explosion of Covid cases in Japan…

πŸ‘‡πŸ» https://t.co/aVdjoORpsP

You can see it on this chart too (again, for Japan), visualised in a different way.

EG.5.1 is the circles in the turquoise blue colour…

πŸ‘‡πŸ»
It seems to be causing significant pressure in the healthcare system, with hospitals having to turn away sick patients…

My son has been learning about oxymorons at school.

An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear together in a phrase yet both are true.

The chart below is an excellent example of the β€œπ™ƒπ™žπ™™π™™π™šπ™£ π™žπ™£ π™₯π™‘π™–π™žπ™£ π™¨π™žπ™œπ™π™©β€ oxymoron.

This is one of the most beautiful charts in Covid surveillance.

You probably won’t have noticed one of the most important pieces of information on it as you were mesmerised by that dazzling spectrum of colours.

The thing I’m talking about is very well hidden… in plain sight. Image
Let me help you out…

Do you see it now?

Now tell the truth… had you even spotted that inconspicuous little black line before I highlighted it for you? Image

The big question is: why aren’t the media reporting on all of these big announcements? It’s barely made a ripple.

Bring together all the pieces of the jigsaw like @1goodtern has done here and that would be award-winning journalism right there.

It could save a lot of lives too…

From the sparse Covid data we still have available to us, I’m afraid that all signs are pointing to the fact that a new wave may just starting.

Hopefully it will be a small wave, but we’ll have to wait and see…

Stay safe out there, my Covid-cautious friends! Image
Covid Cases from Zoe Survey…

πŸ“~6% increase week-on-week

(Caveat: Zoe has had some issues recently and just had a 10 day hiatus with no data published. These numbers should therefore be treated with some caution).
Covid Hospitalisations…
