Update on Covid providing information on prevalence and hospital admissions for England and its regions. This post is best viewed using the browser or Substack app.
At this point, the latest SARS CoV 2 variants are probably not more severe compared to 229E which is the prototype human coronavirus. LP.8.1.1 is said to have quite weak lung entry ability.
Thank you for another great update. But the deep dive into long covid self perception in that large sample is extremely revealing. It confirms what I experience anecdotally from talking about my long covid experience with others. People don't tend to talk about any symptoms they have lingering post covid infection/s unless it comes up in conversation explicitly. Also, if people are not very physically active habitually they may not recognise how covid may have affected their physical capacity.
All true. Also, the ‘post’ Covid victim blaming narratives in the mass media act to shame any who were previously A1 healthy into silence for fear of losing social status and/or their employment. The present hidden costs of such, as yet, invisible and little understood and therefore rarely treated, sequelae of Covid, especially in the UK and the US, are therefore set to expand exponentially over the coming years.

Thanks for continuing to extract useful knowledge while we wish the data was more complete.
