Reminder that ignoring Covid is causing mass immune dysregulation which is resulting in an obscene number of pathogens to increase in spread AND synchronicity.

Wear a mask.

I'd be interested in the actual sources. I can't find a source in the million tweet thread (other than "I had the data"). I can't personally find any source/dataset myself that even slightly agrees with the heatmaps here. Their one actual source - Scottish wastewater viral load graphs, shows the seasonal behaviour and lack of synchronicity we'd typically expect.

Am I just being silly and missin' it? Because this is a fascinating phenomenon if actually true.

Dug into the replies there, they say it's all UKHSA rolling annual totals except for Lyme which is from the weekly lab-confirmed report UK does under the notifications of infectious disease system.

Cheers for that. Sadly, I can't find any info from UKHSA that backs it up either. Not sure how they're getting any rolling totals there except Measles and Strep A, which they only claim a .33 correlation for anyway. I tried really hard to find UKHSA Pertussis stats but the only ones I found were absolutely not a 0.96 correlation with the same period for Measles on the dashboard.

It genuinely could just be me being shit at finding this stuff, but I still can't correlate.

HumuongousChungus has your sources, but, I mean, it's expected. Mass immune dysregulation has been steady in the top 5 things keeping me up at night. For years doomer

Where is this from? finding it insanely difficult to verify any of this information or find a source other than I made it the fuck up

Showed this to my partner who is a statistics person and they were like x to doubt immediately and have been looking for sources or any info about this other than a twitter thread

Whatever ukhsa site they get data from.🤷 It may be out of the annual reports.

I think this might've been one of theirs. There's a source at the bottom.

They're not the only one talking about this though.

And for the US, if you start searching on news.Google you'll find, like clockwork, articles about outbreaks of things like strep A, rsv, norovirus, shingles, and (the latest) pneumonia after every Covid wave. I myself had Covid then strep about 6 months later.

Specifically I meant the source for those correlation graphs

Is what you're saying that the person who was posting this on twitter made that infographic themselves using tables of data from UKHSA website?

I don't doubt it's happening, I'm actually looking for info to convince said partner cause I don't want to have shown them bullshit which would have been embarrassing lol

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

Oh. The source is 1goodtern, they made the correlation graphs themselves using ukhsa data. https://xcancel.com/1goodtern/status/1918723941167710416

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Ahh thanks! I missed that context I thought this person was posting someone elses (or so they claimed) infographics
