The results are in. Sample size is double digits. About half the banned teen group were assessed as over sixteen. 🤣

So, Bluesky is asking for my ID today. I don’t blame them. I’m happy they are continuing to provide a service in Australia despite the problems.

However. I think I’ll just stay in kid mode for now.

Like, part of the grooming process is cutting their target off from sources of support and you've made that super fucking easy for them, Albo

Plus, if a kid does go there, or lies to get on twitter, and they do run into trouble, congratulations! You've cut them off from any source of support because who are they going to tell now

I don’t get annoyed at people about noses sticking out of the top of surgical masks.

Those masks don’t fit properly, and slide down. People have been told not to touch their mask without washing their hands, or their dirty hands will kill someone. They often don’t have sanitiser.

The following is good advice to give the public in a flu wave #UKHSA. Get fresh or filtered air in shared spaces. Wear a well-fitted mask or respirator that leaves no gaps.

Stay at home orders only work if you pay people to do it.
Got flu problems?

Try this.

One of the rarest fungi in Britain has been discovered for the first time in Alderney, a wildlife trust has said.

The date waxcap was found by ecologist Niamh McDevitt earlier this month, said Alderney Wildlife Trust.

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‼️

I've learned so much from you and all of the other gifted doctors & engineers over the years out here.
All of your insight and research have helped me carve a path to better health.
I try to pay it forward by sharing what is working for me with BlueSky🙏

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?
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.
