Covid infections are putting people at higher risk of diabetes, strokes, heart disease and other long-term illnesses - but experts warn it may be decades before the full impact is known.

Mentions the recent discussion of rising sick days, but this time with a bit more context!

    Boomers are going to lose it if covid messaging comes back.

    Wow, that’s a great wee read. It does seem like they only talked to an ED Dr in northland and an Auckland uni immunologist, however…

    I won’t be supporting the next lockdown or mask mandate.

          No but if you’re sick wear a mask to not spread your germs, if you’re worried about catching something wear one as a precaution. Seems like a pretty decent course of action : )

          Yes. If it stops people I know from dying or losing loved ones, I’ll stay home. I will however expect the government to step up and make sure people and businesses have income during the lockdown. A few weeks of being inconvenienced is not the same as someone’s life.
