Covid Is Still Gong But Government Appears To Be Hoping It Will Go Away - Protect Yourself

24th August 2024

Of course the government is ignoring Covid: to do otherwise would require that it admit that society exists.

One in five patients registered to a pair of GP surgeries in the north of England have long Covid, according to a report that lays bare stark regional inequalities.

They add:

The north-west of England had higher than average numbers of people reporting long Covid symptoms, with just over one in 20 people (5.5%), followed by the north-east and Yorkshire (5.1%).

Southern regions of England had the lowest rates overall, such as 3.4% in the south-west and 3.6% in the south-east. The average rate of long Covid across England was 4.4%.

So, on average, one in twenty-three people has long-Covid, which is quite debilitating in my eight-month experience with it. And yet the government:

no longer talks about Covid
has suppressed most Civid statistics
tells hospitals to treat it as a low-risk issue when it is not
is not providing a comprehensive vaccination programme, unlike other countries
is bemused as to why we have a problem with chronic sickness in the UK, which is undermining labour force availability and productivity.
