So many 'Christmas colds' circulating. I have been alive for over 64 years, and do not remember this level of illness over the holiday period, but by next year this will be considered perfectly normal and (mis)remembered as the way it always was. It's already happening this year.

I've been in a UK hospital over Xmas.
“I've been in a UK hospital over Xmas. Had a heavy 'cold' for a week now. They refuse to test me for Covid. I've asked repeatedly. Silence, apart from one muttering your temperature needs to be higher.”
Caught up with quite a few friends over Xmas (most aged under 40) and nearly all now have alcohol allergies, deteriorating eyesight, new auto-immune diseases, shingles, rotting teeth, significant flu/pneumonia after-effects, muscle degeneration or persistent heart, brain or lung…

So the question is, how much more of this do we want as a society? Because it won't stop here.”

THIS IS NOT NORMAL! In the past year in my social and work circles I’m seeing at least 20% of work colleagues constantly sick; 3 friends dead in their 50’s and 60’s; 31 year old friend in hospital with suspected pulmonary embolism; ⬇️

My brother is now on statins at the ripe old age of 35 after multiple Covid infections. He is too thin, if anything. Exercises regularly and eats well and we have no family history of high cholesterol, but he is now on statins for life? I’ve at least gotten him to mask while…

How are people just accepting this?”
Most people I know are suffering from new health conditions acquired these last 2-3 years since we let COVID rip. Specifically the precise things that health officials warned us COVID will do.

There is qualitative and quantitative data on this. There is no way to worm around it.”
3/ Cognitive Disabilities Skyrocket
“To put this in context: from 2014 to 2019, the average annual growth in cognitive disabilities was about 28k. Since 2019, that number has skyrocketed by more than one million. This is a huge increase and deserves attention.”
hey wanna guess what all the comments under this tiktok about checking your longer-than-days cough for walking pneumonia with over 500k likes are like

This is not a parody,
excellent thread on hand hygiene preoccupation by CDC and refusal to acknowledge Covid (and flu) as airborne viruses largely transmitted by aerosols, with fomites responsible for much fewer transmissions.
Several weeks ago, I posted about my 8 year-old niece who contracted Covid 4x during the last school year, and is now suffering from significant memory loss.
“If anyone tells you that we are in a better place now than in the beginning of the pandemic, it’s a lie. People are dying more in the chronic phase of Covid than in the acute stage, and those who survive, are left with chronic illnesses that may become permanent.
We must remain resilient.”
The Democrats were desperate to confine covid in space and time when they could have made it the key element in a politics of care, an ecological economics of build back better, a new kind of language to go with it all. The crisis was a huge opportunity. They blew it

Right now we’re in it but if you were to look back at this era w the benefit of a century it would be CLEAR that the pandemic, just like in 1918, accelerated fascism as it brought eugenicist ideas into the mainstream

Right.
“Right. This is going to be an extremely long thread, because the number of ways that Covid can make you more vulnerable to other infections is loooong.
But here's Ten Ways That Covid Infection Can Open The Door To Other Infections Today:”
Beyond "immunity debt".
“In what ways could SARS-CoV-2 be involved in surges of other infectious diseases like RSV, tuberculosis, fungal infections, Mycoplasma, etc.?
Here is a list of additional hypotheses, all increasingly supported in the scientific literature.

airborne update.
EBVis airborne update.
EBV found in air sampling directly from the lungs.

Reactivated TB is an AIDS-defining condition in people with HIV.
“Reactivated TB is an AIDS-defining condition in people with HIV.
In HIV negative people, logic says TB has changed or people have changed.
Plenty of studies now point to the ways Covid damages the immune system, and we keep allowing ourselves to be convinced it’s “just a cold.”
Everybody has pneumonia.
“Everybody has pneumonia.
My 16 year old neighbour. Three kids in my friend's grade six class. My 45 yo cousin and her 10 yo son. My client. Again. (Antibiotics not working.)
My other neighbour just telling me she lost two siblings to pneumonia in less than a year.

I was an ableist asshole when I first became a teacher. Because that’s what I was taught! In my defense, academic institutions told me a strict attendance policy was required. What changed my perspective & my assessment criteria? Disabled students 🧵
