Another thought: here in the States, the government cretins actually paid people not to work, probably in a lot of cases better than what they made slogging 40 hours a week. That has created a seismic shift in a formerly hard working ethic here. And tons of people have never gone back to work, or insist on working from home, etc. When you’re not engaged in your job & co-workers, it’s easier to claim you’re sick when you’re just flat out used to doing what you want at home w/ little-to-no oversight.

All of that said, if the jabs aren’t killing everyone or causing immediate damage, they’re slowly decimating immune systems, & more w/ every jab. We never knew what the “long term” effects of the poisons would be, but we’re finding out now & in decades to come

As much as I’d love to blame the injections, I think you also have to factor in that it remains less socially acceptable to go to work with symptomatic illness than it was previously.

Also, three years of elevated infection consciousness has had a psychological impact too I think. People seem to more readily allow themselves to relent to being ill and to rest; as opposed to piling in the Lemsip Max, driving through the adrenaline and getting themselves on their feet.

I make no comment as to whether that is right or wrong (I don’t know) but I think it might impact the stats.

I've seen a huge increase in minor sickness in my team. I've also had many executive level friends express their loss of motivation or energy towards their professions as they've been shown it can be simply taken away from them by lockdown. Small business also struggling for profit in inflationary market with labour shortages. All part of the plan i reckon

Going off 25 years in office work...

I've seen senior management in private sector get ill regularly, something they previously seemed impervious to (we're talking alpha people highly intelligent, big salaries, active physically, with active social calendars). Omicron hit them all Jan 2022 then Cold after covid after cold. And they are all triple/bivalent system -lovers etc. Oh and a few have had heart problems.

However, I also know my unavaxxed family got hit hard in summer 21 delta, we're back feeling vindicated all last year, but this spring 23 we've been hit by gastric flu, colds, and headaches. I wonder if we have split undulations of vaxxed/unvaxxed no? Like Eugypius 's West Germany Bs GDR data but continuing.

Still with unvaxxed clearly being the better option, but nevertheless it seems that the health hit is real for us too.

Anyone else had a rough start to 2023?

Yes, we should consider all possible reasons for this spike. Once we do that ... we'll have our answer.

With the mask studies coming out now I think the long term wearing of those is having an effect too.

My daughter, just 32 yrs, has been sick off work 3 times since getting them. I am not sure of dates she received them. However she required urgent meds with strep throat first time, 2nd time, 3 months later, took to her bed with she says, "a cold from hell" that lasted a week and quite recently more time off with "flu like symptoms." I doubt it was a typical flu as she recovered quickly. She manages others and is consciencious and hard working. It does worry me she is ill so frequently because this is not how she used to be.

Justa guess. People are taking more care of themselves (immune systems).

I think telling people their jobs are non-essential doesn’t help....;)

Maybe people re-evaluating their lives and now thinking work is not that important in the scheme of things?

I know the graph said absence caused by mental illness is down, but how did they determine that? And how do they verify that someone's illness isn't a symptom of a mental health issue? It's widely understood that "The Body Keeps The Score" (by Bessel van der Kolk). How do we know that these illnesses weren't cases of the body keeping the score?

In my own life, I know that COVID has caused all kinds of issues. I became so depressed. So did my husband and child. We basically stopped living. About a year ago, I woke up suddenly and said, "What are we doing?" And let me also say that I never bought into the narrative; I knew the shots were poison; I knew masking was a farce; I knew 6-ft was junk science. But somehow, we ground to a halt here at my house until that day last spring. I can't tell you what a struggle it has been to drag my family back into living. My husband flat out refuses (every now and then, he shows a spark so I haven't given up hope). He went from never missing work to telling me he had months of sick time and might as well use them. He's depressed! But anyone looking at only his data regarding absences wouldn't know that. That makes me wonder how many other people's data was analyzed without knowing the background.

We also know that mental health is steadily on the decline across the world. You can't see with your eyes everyday what's happening to your world, be blatantly lied to over and over that what you're seeing isn't what you're seeing, and not lose a grip on sanity. In other words, when you gaslight the population, it's going to cause a lot of mental illness.

I'm in Canada, and the businesses (large and small) in the towns close to where I live are all having problems finding staff and have high rates of people calling in sick. When I ask the managers who have to deal with this what is going on, they just say, "People are lazy. They don't want to work."

That answer doesn't really satisfy me. Where are people getting the money to live off of? Especially with the ever increasing rate of inflation? Even eating at McDonald's has apparently gotten more expensive.

Employees are looking at the treadmill of the office and opting out. There are productive industries you can do from your garage. Such as knitting wool socks.

Mask wearing causing MIES too

Employers asking people to stay home if sick as well, that's a societal shift.

We really need to compare these statistics with other countries. I gather the absentee rate has grown in the USA but not sure if anywhere else. It will probably turn out to be climate change 🙄

Other idea: due to lockdowns, societal changes: antigenic drift/shift of all kind of illnesses
