There is no sicknote culture.

PEOPLE ARE SICK

I've just had a really sad chat with a 13 year old kid who can remember what it was like being clever.

Duo Lingo ruined my life 😭🇪🇸 Duolingo

“Covid warning with cases rising once again - UKHSA scientists send urgent plea to public.”

No one paying the slightest attention. mirror.co.uk/news/health/co…

New from Trisha Greenhalgh Dr Jenny Ceolta-Smith (PhD OT) Emma Ladds 💙 et al.: What is quality in long covid care? Lessons from a national quality improvement collaborative and multi-site ethnography: bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Nu är Postcovidlotteriet studerat! (Ännu bara i Storbritannien, men nog kommer väl även någon svensk instans också genomlysa frågan?)

Vissa variationer i vårdkvalitet är befogade, andra är det inte.

As someone with a generalised anxiety disorder who's previously been severely depressed and suicidal, Sunak's feeding of a cliché prejudice makes me angry. Then I remember that he and his party will get wiped out at the next GE, and I can't stop grinning and giggling.

Hi, Sweden. How about allowing vaccination of kids _at all_

Typ:
Ingenjörer - 'Bättre folkhälsa är mycket tekniska framsteg: Vattenrening, luftrening, snabbprover, spårning.'
Folkhälsomyndigheten - 'Nä! För t ex flockimmunitet, immunskuld, minska oro, över kanten!'

'Uppsåt att skada' låter hårt men när statsepidemiologen använder uttrycket 'över kanten' så behövs i alla fall en lite djupare utfrågning i hur resonemanget är tänkt.

Tonåring med postcovid mår sämre, och möter alltså läkare som lajvar Freud och allra först vill prata om ”hur barndomen var”. Trots att ungen har fastställd dysautonomi och POTS! Skulle ett barn med diabetes eller cancer få samma fråga?

Postcovidlotteriet, våren 2024…

'Officials are reminding the public that despite the pandemic being long over, the virus is still causing hospitalisations and severe illness...' 🤡

The pandemic that is both long over and ever-present.

Flying through emotions today about @who's newest document addressing that SARS-2 is airborne and their need to add a new term - infectious respiratory particle. Really? I have moved from confused to dismayed to sad to worried to disgusted. (1/2)

Do most people know they’re actually doing this most of the time?

So, GMC, your definition of freedom of speech for doctors allows them to claim that vaccines killed people they didn't kill, but doesn't allow them to hold up a 'just stop oil' sign? You make me sick.
[with apologies to the car company @gmc I tagged in error earlier]

Update on former colleague. She now has some sort of lump under her armpit, one twin has a 'rash that won't go away' and the other has constant crushing headaches. They both cry for no reason.

And forget doctors, because no app'ts are available until June.

Do people feel the same about their children being in a classroom with a child who had tested positive?
