“We might be done with COVID, but COVID is not done with us. It’s always going to be here now, my goal is just to catch it less often.”
‘COVID Dystopia,’ award-winning, animated short film about the ongoing Pandemic.
If you think the pandemic's over, you're badly wrong.
This is the staff absence rate for the seventh largest employer in the world.
See the consistency of the absence rate leading up to the pandemic...
Look at how it changed in 2020.
And see where it's going now…
…And these graphs don't include the staff who left employment because they were disabled by Covid.” Thread:
“If you want to point at any other driving cause besides COVID, to be credible it will need to:
“COVID-19 REINFECTION RATES
The information here is derived from multiple studies conducted on the topic. A rate of 64% indicates that out of every 100,000 individuals, 64,000 experienced a reinfection within the past 12 months”
“In U.S., ‘The number of annual traffic fatalities in Washington state has jumped from 528 in 2019 to 810 in 2023, a 51% increase since 2019.. 2023 [was] the deadliest since 1990.. Speculation as to why traffic fatalities increased varied.’
IMO, the main reason is the cognitive dysfunction caused by SARS-CoV-2.
October, 2024: “The UK's health body has warned that COVID-19 spreads ‘very easily through close contact with people who have the virus’ and you can still be infectious for ‘up to 10 days’”
“Every one of these subvariants is distinct enough that a whole swathe of people are no longer immune to it and it can infect them. That’s why you see this constant undulatory pattern which doesn’t look seasonal at all,” he says. Adding in seasonal factors, such as cooler weather forcing people indoors and children returning to school, and the conditions are frequently conducive to a new wave.”
“After a year of the pandemic in Arkhangelsk, 59.7% 95% confidence intervals (CI) (56.7; 62.6) of the surveyed population had had COVID-19. Among those who had been infected, symptomatic cases comprised 47.1% 95% CI (43.2; 51.0), with 8.6% 95% CI (6.6; 11.1) of them having been hospitalized. Of the asymptomatic cases, 96.2% were not captured by the healthcare system. Older age was positively associated, while smoking showed a negative association with symptomatic COVID-19. Individuals older than 65 years, and those with poor self-rated health were more likely to be hospitalized. Conclusion More than half of the infected individuals were not captured by the healthcare-based registry, mainly those with asymptomatic infections.”
“If you were comfortable with catching it and spreading it, you were comfortable with killing people.
At no point in this ongoing pandemic did Covid stop killing people.”
“At the peak of the late-summer Covid wave, U.S. health systems were testing approximately evenly for COVID, flu, & RSV.
Yet, nearly all positive cases were Covid.
“For the week of September 22, stats from the Canadian Nosocomial (Hospital-Acquired) Infection Surveillance Program, with data from 78 hospitals, including 16 in BC, show that 31% of patients in hospital with COVID acquired their infection while admitted for another medical condition.
This is a major failure by public health and Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC).”
In 2024, the facts are clear: COVID far outpaced flu in infections, hospitalizations, and deaths.
COVID also carries the added burden of long COVID, a far more complex, multi-system condition than the long-term effects seen with flu.
COVID is not like the flu. It never was!
“With each wave, SC2 leaves in its wake long-term complications, damage to the cardiovascular, neurological, and immune systems, and chronic conditions
Those who might have been considered ‘healthy’ before infection can rapidly transition into the category of the vulnerable”
