"Five years ago, COVID was all we could think about. Today, we’d rather forget
about lockdowns, testing queues and social distancing. But the virus that
sparked the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, is still circulating.
Most people who get COVID today will experience only a mild illness. But some
people are still at risk of severe illness and are more likely to be
hospitalised with COVID. This includes older people, those who are
immunocompromised by conditions such as cancer, and people with other health
conditions such as diabetes.
Outcomes also tend to be more severe in those who experience social inequities
such as homelessness. In the United Kingdom, people living in the 20% most
deprived areas have double chance of being hospitalised from infectious
diseases than those in the least deprived areas."
