Covid reinfection stats, JN.1
New stats on how much protection one infection gives you against the next.
Short version: quite a bit of immunity in the first few months, dwindling back to nothing after a year.
This is specifically where the second infection was JN.1.

when "masks don't work"
What I was thinking about this morning:
Any intervention depends on both
• the tech itself
and
• people understanding how to use it.
If you don't know that covid is airborne and floats in the air like smoke... then you aren't going to know at what points a respi mask would be protective.
This explains a lot of the research where masks allegedly "don't work" against covid.

US Long Covid stats
Estimates from the US Census Bureau's "Household Pulse Survey", in the sampling phase 5 March to 1 April 2024:
About 7% of all US adults were currently living with some form of Long Covid. That's about 1 person in every 14.
About a quarter of those, 1.7% of US adults, had "significant" activity limitations from LC. So that's around 1 person in every 60.
40 to 49 is the peak age group; more women than men.

stats in legal cases / Lucy Letby
For anyone following the questions over Lucy Letby's conviction, this looks like a useful resource:
"... drawing conclusions from suspicious clusters of deaths is incredibly challenging... in a medical setting. The RSS has recently conducted work in this area with its 2022 report... Healthcare Serial Killer or Coincidence? Statistical issues in the investigation of suspected medical misconduct"

ONS Long Covid stats
England & Scotland, Nov 2023 to March 2024
"Long COVID symptoms adversely affected the day-to-day activities of 1.5 million people... with 381,000... reporting that their ability to undertake their day-to-day activities had been "limited a lot"."
If population of Eng Scot is about 64 million, then that works out like:
~1 in 43 affected
~1 in 170 "limited a lot"
(I'm guessing the 64m, based on 2022 stats)
