Don't you forget about me

There is a new wave of COVID under way.

Infections are up, hospitalisations are up too.

And yet you hear nothing about it on the news.

There is a clamour for masks mandates to be reintroduced as the latest varient sweeps across the country, but many think the pandemic is over.

To those who feel there is nothing to worry about, just remember that there is between 20 and 25% of developing long COVID from each infection, and it seems previous infections make it more likely for reinfection.

Long COVID is real and will weigh the economy and health services downhaps for decades, as nations struggle to cope with the effects.

And yet those who graduated with medical degrees from the University of Facebook, deny there was ever a problem, that not letting kids die somehow ruined the kid's futures will argue again against such mandates.

As a species, we really are too stupid to deserve to survive. Here in the UK we have the Government wwe deserve and maybe another wave of the pandemic.

Hope I'm wrong, needless to say.
