First they said you couldn't get reinfected.

Then they said reinfection was rare.

Then they said reinfection was mild.

Then they said reinfection was good for you.

Now they're saying reinfection doesn't cause or worsen Long Covid.
Everything they say is a lie.
Everyone should have seen through the first lies.
But people didn't want to.
They wanted to believe the lies.
And so they did.
Whenever the truth overturned a lie, they'd go back to the liars for a new lie.
And the liars would give a new one.
Like repeat infections don't cause long covid.
Or repeat infections will help develop immunity.
Or covid is mild now.
Lie after lie after lie.
And a willing public lap them up because they don't want to have to make any effort to make this stop.
Because they don't want to care.
Because they don't want to think.
So they reach for the next can of pre-packaged lies and swig them down neat.

Someone covid cautious messaged me about making a a large funeral safer, and although that's incredibly hard, I thought I'd share a few tips for them, and share them here now.
First off, grief sidesteps rational thought.
When we're grieving we don't think rationally.

So plan ahead and think through every step *before* you're in those rooms and situations.
I've recently had a family funeral (that I wasn't responsible for arranging) that did sadly involve covid spread. It was incredibly depressing, but there could have been more, and I think that some of my actions may have helped keep it down slightly.

Some simple science that everyone should learn:
Masks with FFP2 or N95 rating trap particles by using the electrostatic properties of the fibres in the mask.

They don't catch things like a net.
They catch things *like a magnet* - except not just metal objects. Anything tiny.
There's a bullshit bit of disinformation going round that these masks can't trap viruses because viruses are too small.

That's just wrong. It's like claiming that planes can't fly because they're not birds.

It's just wrong on so many levels.
The people who claim that masks can't trap particles that small are either:
ignorant
or
malicious

What am I afraid of?

I'm afraid of the *third bump*.

Let me explain.
The first bump started in 2020.

It was the bump in illness.
The first bump caused by covid.
Illness has always been around.
But Covid *bumped* the levels.
Significantly.

What's going on here.

Hepatitis D in England.

Hepatitity debt? Image
There is something genuinely weird going on there though.

Hepatitis D is nasty. Particularly nasty.
And unusual.
Unique, actually.
The reason it's unusual is because it's what's known as a 'satellite virus'.
You can only have a Hep D infection, if you already have Hep B infection.

"Why you are vulnerable to other infections after Corona....
More and more people are reporting that they are constantly ill after recovering from a corona infection. One possible cause for this could be an immune system weakened by Covid-19..." Why you are vulnerable to other infections after Corona
"an infection with SARS-CoV-2 may still be more problematic than previously thought, because it could trigger a long-lasting immune deficiency that makes you susceptible to other diseases."
"One indication of this are reports of people who, after recovering from a corona infection, immediately catch a cold or even get sick several times in a row. The explanation for this may be an immune deficiency triggered by covid, which could possibly last for several months."
