    I have some revelations to make. Essentially everyone is expected to catch #COVID19, multiple times during their life. As such, the relevant question is not if people will get exposed to the virus but when they catch it for the first time. That was the bad news. 1/

        The good news is that each successive infection is expected to cause milder symptoms on average. The even better piece of news for people in rich countries is that morbidity / mortality associated to #COVID19 is dramatically reduced by vaccines. 2/

        And with the vaccines they may not even know they have caught it many times.

        This message seems to be being promoted just now, along with the apparently imminent end of restrictions in the UK. Could you elaborate, please? Do models clearly indicate even the best vaccines won't prevent ongoing major infection waves? Could you point to refs?

        This was the first real time social media, 24hr news coverage, instant breaking news pandemic. Every figure is analysed, every chart with interpretations. This has its benefits and its downfalls. Armchair epidemiologists are abound. Has this helped mental health? Maybe not.
