I had a reply yesterday that said that if everyone masked and socially distanced for 2 weeks, we would stop the spread of Covid.
I love this sentiment, and it's true.
It would stop covid for a while.
But only for a while.
Important thread that may help you understand things...
Although it might not help you understand things, because this is pretty complicated, and I find it hard to get my head round how to explain it sequentially.
Figuring out where to start is a nightmare.
Another thing this thread may do is help you understand what most public health organisations are trying to do by *allowing or encouraging* the spread of Covid.
Have you heard anyone anywhere talking about how nurses and health visitors in England are taking more than TWICE AS MANY sick days for "Pregnancy Related Disorders" as they used to?
In the 12 months to March 2020: 204k
In the 12 months to March 2025: 430k 👀🚨
Not for 'pregnancy', or for 'going shopping for baby clothes'.
SICK LEAVE.
SICKNESS ABSENCE.
FOR DISEASES OF PREGNANCY.
Many of those diseases of pregnancy are life threatening to the mother AND the baby.
A young school receptionist who caught Covid at work, developed Long Covid, returned to work, caught it again and became even more ill... and then again...
She said I could share her story.
It's about masking...
She said masks don't work.
She said that she had worn masks, and they hadn't stopped her catching it.
I feel it's important to comment on this whole 'thoughts and prayers' thing.
Prayers without action are lifeless and dead.
One of the writers of the Bible puts it this way:
"What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?"
"Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?"
I've been bashing my head against the polyomavirus thing for a couple of years now.
The basic situation is that case numbers in England have been 🚀📈ing.
I've been bashing my head against the polyomavirus thing for a couple of years now.
Until today.
🧨🚨🧵
NB:
That's *polyomavirus* not *polio virus*.
They're very different.
Polyomaviruses usually sit quietly in our bodies, but when immunity is dented, they can flip into killers, causing brain disease, cancers, and organ damage. Rising detection means more people are at risk.
