I continue to write about Covid on my blog because scientists aren't saying it's gone. The pandemic has not only given me more to write about, but it has given me more to worry about, because I deal with a disability and because I have a lot more to lose if I get sick.

The pandemic and lifting restrictions

The pandemic isn't finished, and with restrictions lifted, how are the vulnerable supposed to get back into their lives? How does lifting restrictions help the vulnerable and why are charities like Voice UK, Mencap, Respond, The National Autistic Society, Scope, The challenging Behaviour Foundation, Sibs, Age UK, Crisis UK, Shelter, not coming forward to criticise the government for continuing to expose those vulnerable to the virus?

Covid-19 vaccines are mismatched

While updated bivalent mRNA vaccines target both Omicron sub-variants and earlier strains, by-and-large, COVID vaccines are increasingly mismatched to circulating variants, said McMaster University immunologist and researcher Matthew Miller.” (Craig Chivers/CBC) – (Source: https://www.cbc.ca) There are still issues with the current vaccine and those issues aren't being addressed.

My Covid experiences

I deal with a disability and that makes me vulnerable. I caught Covid in December, and as a result I missed seeing my twin pass away. It also took me 6 weeks to recover. Then with a two-week overlap, in January, I picked up a cough and flu virus. When I get sick and with a disability, it takes me longer to recover.

We have to want to care, to protect the most vulnerable of society, for people who are home. There needs to be consideration for the vulnerable, to protect the vulnerable, so that they can comfortably get back into their lives and so they can stay safe. Masking up is all it would take.
