    This really isn’t surprising, as more and more we’re being discouraged from visiting our GPs. Things I would have gone to see my doctor about 20 years ago I know wouldn’t even think about bothering, because it’s such a palava to even get an appointment. So I just hope for the best and hope it will pass. Sometimes that might mean something that could have been prevented isn’t prevented.

    And then of course there’s diet. But let’s not lose sight of the state of healthcare.

      There are also the effects of long COVID. Something that is hard to fully define and measure, but that has an effect on a sizeable chunk of the population

        Yes agreed. I had effects after COVID first round for a good 18 months. I still sometimes wonder if it’s really gone, if I ever truly went back to baseline or just accepted a new slightly different reality. I’m sure others are like me.
