England is now experiencing a significant COVID wave, after 10 months of relative quiet.

"If someone says they are in bed with flu, it’s almost certainly COVID, given that the number of people admitted to hospital for COVID last week was 50 times higher than the number admitted for flu!"

The chart shows weekly hospital COVID admissions per 100,000 population in the UK from May 2023 to September 29, 2025, based on UKHSA data.

Autumn 2023 peak reached around 6 per 100k.

Winter JN.1 peak followed early 2024 (~5 per 100k).

Several 2024 peaks occurred mid-year before dropping.

A 10-month stretch of low, stable levels lasted through late 2024 to mid-2025.

A new Sept 2025 wave shows a sharp upward climb approaching prior peak levels.

I agree with the 76% of Americans with common sense who believe trump does NOT deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

How about YOU? 🤚

My latest article in The Shot

"The largest contributors to the breakdown of social cohesion in Australia are the governments of Australia, practising a privileged fuck-you version of democracy that makes its own rules & caters for those within the club"

One may briefly laugh for a moment at this question thinking how absurd in this day and age that this would be necessary, especially after what previously happened in world history, but then the horrendous reality hits and I wouldn’t be surprised if this is occurring…

COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again.

5 years into this experiment: we let COVID rip and pretended it was fine. Damage piled up—unlike smoking’s slow toll, we’re seeing it in real time. Every infection leaves a mark; even “mild.” The bill comes due. We chose denial

archive.md/Jyi7k

A vintage 1946 Camel cigarette advertisement shows a smiling older white man in a doctor’s coat holding a cigarette. The slogan claims “More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette.” Above the ad, bold yellow text reads “COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again,” drawing a parallel between COVID risks and the tobacco industry’s history of downplaying harm.

Wanting to not catch a virus that has killed 40 million and caused long term disability in 400 million people already is not health anxiety.

Pretending that virus doesn't exist:
That's health anxiety.

This is Annie. She is a dental therapy dog. Her job is to help patients experiencing anxiety by providing emotional support. While dentists go through years of schooling to treat patients Annie is able to lower their blood pressure and reduce anxiety just by being there. 14/10 (TT: funny.bunny9215)
