Hard to believe that we're in the fifth year of a global pandemic
(That might be because people seem to be in denial about it!)
One of the things that worries me about becoming a teacher is that Australian children are mostly unvaccinated against Covid-19.
It seems ridiculous given they're immunised against a range of illnesses that aren't as deadly and, in some cases, parents find they have no choice with all those 'no jab, no play' type rules for services or even to receive financial support.
When you hear people describing it as a "spicy cough" it shows we're not taking this disease seriously.
The long-term implications of the Coronavirus are becoming documented with 'long Covid' now known to have a range of potential impacts and little prospect of remedy.
I feel the Australian government has failed its 'duty of care' by using commissioned reports to drive policy decisions, rather than the advice of medical experts.
We might be on the cusp of a generation of young people with higher rates of dementia.
Thanks to Nick for sharing this information.
