Thank you for the precise and informative information covering pretty much all aspects from the offset of this pandemic. The information (re graphs) are particularly useful and informative regarding whom was deemed at greater of catching Covid in one of it's many guises and them going on to deal with the symptoms of "long Covid". It was interesting to see that it appears women suffer more than men regarding long Covid and i guess it's going to have a long term affect on life expectancy for females whom in general live longer than their male counterparts, in decades to come it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Thanks again for this much needed synthesis. It is so sad that we have lost the continuity in public health information gathering, even the basic waste water monitoring.

Is this kind of collated information being presented so collectively at/to the COVID inquiry?

Thank you 🙏 the loss of data is an ideological choice that makes it impossible to make informed decisions as a member of the public.

Is it worth making a distinction between (a) Long Covid, a presumed immunologically-mediated post-viral condition, and (b) subclinical inflammatory damage, a set of injuries of mostly vascular origin caused to end organs in patients across the range of severity of primary Covid infection and which are, for now, asymptomatic and usually undetected? These are different phenomena but are sometimes conflated in the media and academic papers.
