I think this is a comparison worth looking at.

Deaths of 5-9yos in Finland on the left, deaths of 5-9yo boys in England and Wales on the right.

I don't have the data for 2005-2015, as Ilkka does for Finland, but I've kept the timescale the same on the chart for comparison. Image

Similar trends in other age groups here too. Image
Some of the data is quite messy, and trends can be temporary, but that's the point, isn't it?
Is this a permanent reversal of the long term trend that was a decline in deaths of young people?
One footnote: I just made those graphs quickly from the actual totals of deaths - the populations of those age ranges has changed (1-4s has *gone down*) so the rates are different to the totals.
I'll do the proper rates per head of population some other day!

Another kick in the balls study.

"We found that having a prior PASC (post acute symptom of Covid) increases the chances of having more PASC in subsequent infections."

🚨🚨The risk of Long Covid increases with each infection🚨🚨

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…Image
"This could be due to long-haulers’ inability to mount an appropriate, timely immune response to clear the COVID-19 infection each time, leading to greater susceptibility to developing PASC in subsequent infections." Image
It's what I see in everyday life.

Ten Reasons doctors don't know about the long term effects of Covid infections:
1
They don't want to know.
Sorry, when I started out I thought it would be more than that.

There would be absolutely no sacrifice involved in cleaning the air in schools and hospitals.
There would be no imposition on the public.
There would be no invasive or obtrusive measures.

Oh my word.
I've had a realisation about one of the sliding doors moments in the pandemic.

I had a chat with a consultant anaesthetist a couple of months ago when he asked me why I wore an ffp3 mask, and a couple of things he said in reply didn't make sense.
His words had been bouncing round in the back of my head all this time, then I saw something today that made complete sense of them.
He had been talking about the distinction between droplets and aerosols and how he had had training and briefings at which he had seen studies that had *proven* that most transmission in healthcare settings was *at close range*.

I felt physical pain reading this study.
Actual physical pain.

18 months ago, very close friends' child was born with developmental problems.

*these problems*

🚨The study says Covid infection during early pregnancy makes them *7 times more likely*.

This tweet.

And the implications for that family were *huge*.

I feel this very keenly today.
I'm walking to meet someone who has been told by doctors they cannot have a life saving operation because they recently had Covid.
When did they catch Covid?
Probably at the hospital visit when they were told they needed a life saving operation.
I'm walking there not knowing how to talk them through their anger and grief when I'm so angry myself.
Don't misunderstand the situation here though.
Until this person was told by the doctors last week that they couldn't have the operation yet because of their infection, they were totally fully committed to their own part in mass infection.
