I don’t agree that this is “all” that needs to happen.
If you want to discuss the merits of those medications, there’s a dedicated thread where you can do so:

Thanks for the link. Hadn’t seen that yet
You’re welcome.

Sounds like a real shitstorm!
Funny you post this. That has been a big problem at my school recently.
Kids throwing up and having the shits. Some teachers too.
To be fair that happens every year.

Must be the school lunches. Cafeteria meats sitting out on steel tables at room temperature over night.

We went to visit some friends today. Husband was laid out with stomach problems. Got a message that my Thursday class is cancelled. Home observation for a week. Double blow.
Oh man … I mean, there’s living with the virus and accepting the inevitability of some risk, but there’s also still having visitors over even when you’re sick with a symptom of the virus that’s causing all the trouble. The latter seems unwise to me.

Had an idiot at work come over chatting to me when I went in last week. Mask around his neck. Got up to leave after ten minutes.
Where are ya going? Finishing earlier?
Explain later, he said.
Found out later that he had to leave because he had the shits and threw up earlier in the day.

I’d rather just live life normally without concern for viruses or whatever. Plus he stayed upstairs the whole time.
Children struggling to walk, talk, crawl and socialise
A report from Ofsted has laid out the difficulties faced by some of the UK’s youngest children as they grow up following the pandemic.
The briefing looked at 70 early years providers in January and February this year.
It found some children are reported to have developed a “limited vocabulary” while “some babies have struggled to respond to basic facial expressions”.
And youngsters also missed out on hearing stories and conversations from adults, with one provider saying children are spending more time on screens and are picking up accents from programmes and videos.
There are also concerns on the negative impact of mask-wearing. The briefing said: “Children turning two years old will have been surrounded by adults wearing masks for their whole lives and have therefore been unable to see lip movements or mouth shapes as regularly.”
Children were also found to be struggling with learning to walk and crawl.
The chief inspector of Ofsted, Amanda Spielman, said: “I’m particularly worried about younger children’s development which, if left unaddressed, could potentially cause problems for primary schools down the line.”
**Children are adaptable
I hope we wear masks forever
Learning online is as good as in person
Predictable outcomes**

COVID news latest: ‘Sorry’ easyJet warns of more flight cancellations this week
Coronavirus latest as easyJet warns of more flight cancellations this week due to COVID related staff sickness; remdesivir, which was hailed as a major breakthrough by Matt Hancock, is found to have no benefit in a trial of hospitalised patients.

Another data point regarding Cathay Pacific Airways (CX):
CX have cancelled on the very last min CX851 (1st April) from SFO [San Francisco] and also CX845 (3rd April) from JFK [New York City].
[Passengers] were reroute to Tokyo via UA [United] and to Seoul via KE [Korean Airlines] before continuing to HKG.
[. . .]
The curious thing is that the flight CX 851 actually flew back to HKG from SFO on April 1, but just went back with no passengers.
CX 844 will depart HKG after midnight tonight with passengers. It was fairly full in all cabin classes, but I wonder what is going on.
Maybe there are some crew issues. You never know what new rules HK government comes up with with no warning, or maybe they can’t fix the crew issues.
[. . .]
Chatting with a CX staff, it appears that many staff got omicron, like others in HK, and that scheduled rosters are depleted.

Didn’t the Uk buy a lot of that?
Thanks, here’s a link to the article.
I suggested exactly this in the COVID Taiwan developments thread, and was attacked for being “anti-mask”

The neurotics who were allowed to take charge of the Covid response have done so much harm. They’re still banging on about long Covid in order to continue the harm they have caused. They’ve caused so much harm in good conscience, which is the saddest part of it.
I am puzzled by this post.
Which “take charge” people are you referring to? Which country or countries? And what does that have to do with documentation about long COVID?
Guy
Come on, we’re both grown men. I know your stance on how to respond to Covid, which I consider to be insane and damaging. I’m sure you think similarly about my stance on how to respond to Covid. Throwing in lots of question marks to an edited quote is ridiculous.
Anyway:
- “take charge people” are neurotics.
- “Which country or countries” is Taiwan, in this case at least.
- I’ve no idea what you mean about “documentation about long Covid”. Where in my post, that you edited in your reply, did I refer to this?
I’m getting to the end of my tether with you, sir, and that takes a lot of doing.

Yes in fact you did not refer to “documentation about long Covid.” You simply dismissed it as “neurotic.”
I don’t agree with this position as it does not line up at all with studies out of the UK and elsewhere.
In any case, there are plenty of threads on these topics. I’ll leave things at that.
Guy
I assume you are talking about mandated Covid passports being extended to long Covid? You’ve lost me here.
It would be great if you would leave things at that. But you seem to find this difficult to do.
