What the social media ban assumes about our society is that the places where adults congregate to share ideas are never safe for children. And it’s wrong

Government public health policy is completely irresponsible & is harming kids.
We need:
✅ Clean Air
✅ Vaccine Access
✅ Honest Communication of risks

A baby in my extended family is days old, and unwell…
There is nothing I can do about it, because if it was important, the government would have told them. My advice, of course, is ludicrous.
As it is, the dirty air in daycare means the siblings will bring it all home.

Frankly, I've not stopped masking.
I see vulnerable people all day. It's the gig.
Secondly, I cannot afford to lose 2 weeks to illness, let alone, Long C-19... I have bills and staff.
It's not merely about respect for my patients, that primary, but YEP! It's financial too‼️

Unfortunately, I belong to this group.
However, I have always been a bit of an outlier😉
I am intent on recovery.
The most important action one must take to help recover is actively preventing repeated COVID infection.

Odds of this recovery to baseline actually occurring under real world conditions?
Do I need to spell out what is realistically going to happen to people that fit this category?
Do I need to spell out what is realistically going to happen to people that fit this category?
The "Cardiovascular Patients" cohort are also improving by around 3% per year. However as they finished the study ~70% down on the baseline, it will likely take decades for them to fully recover.

A recent scientific paper explored the impact of mass SARS-CoV-2 infections on Lymphocytes (crucial to the body’s immune system).
I noticed the authors had shared the data behind their charts in the Appendix Supplementary materials, so I built a quick dataviz project to explore.

In the "All Patients" cohort, those Lymphocyte subsets have been recovering at a rate of around 3% per year, which predicts a return to the baseline after a further 3 years.

This is what I see when I see “normal” people doing “happy” things as a wave rolls in.

Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update:
The risk estimate rose slightly, to 0.1% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-1,083.
That implies a 3% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30.
