I'm sure it is just a coincidence that the disability and long-term sickness rates in three nations starting rising at the start of the #COVID19 pandemic and are still rising almost five years later, despite the fact the global health emergency ended.
Data shown is for Spain, the US, and the UK.
@augieray I am sympathetic to the argument that the global health emergency was terminated too early. Conversely, I don't find it reasonable that we should still be confined to 2020-level restrictions. I'm not saying that's what you're arguing for. But I have seen others advocate for that.
I've been getting my booster shots annually and going forward, I will always wear a mask in public if I am experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness and can't avoid going out. Beyond that, I'm living life normally. What does a reasonable approach to COVID-19 look like today from a public health perspective? I honestly don't know.
