UK; - - DJ, UK health authorities knew sending CoViD+ patients to care centers would spread CoViD in care centers...killing tens of thousends... [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_(2021_TV_film)[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_(2021_TV_film) ; The work load is tough, but everyone's world is turned upside down when the COVID-19 pandemic hits the UK in March 2020. Like most other care homes across the country, Bright Sky suffers a COVID-19 outbreak amongst residents. This is made all the worse by a severe lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) with supplies in NHS hospitals being prioritised above homes. One night, when Sarah is left as the only carer on duty, Bright Sky resident Kenny suffers a serious coughing fit. Sarah calls the COVID-19 hotline, as well as NHS 111, but no ambulances are available in the area. Angry and frightened, Sarah wakes up Tony, who is also Kenny's best friend. He manages to turn Kenny over, but he is still in a bad way. [url]https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13649036/[/url] or https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13649036/ ; Sarah seems to have found her calling working in a Liverpool care home where she has a special talent for connecting with the residents. Then, in March 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic hits. A comment; Tender and terrifying DJ, point is..."they knew" ! |

DJ, getting air filters for themselves...But since vaccinations are "to costly" CoViD vaccines in the UK end up in garbage... DJ, does the "political class" think of themselves as being superior ? There will be -no doubt- lots of tries to find legal ways to get those responsible in jail... -Lots of vulnerable people could still be alive if countries did more to protect them instead of "the economy=profits"... -Lots of people dealing with Long CoViD may try to get compensation...their lives are ruined... -Parents may try to get better protection/care for their children... DJ, the groups most hit hard were the groups already in poverty and high risk...And it is still going on... |

Actions needed NOW !!! -Try to limit spread of diseases so limit travel, social mixing... -Non Pharma Intervention is also masks, ventilation... -Vaccinate ALL that want to be vaccinated (CoViD, Flu (etc) DJ Mask-Up, Vaccinate, Isolate, Think MUVIT !!! Good information makes a difference. So sequencing, testing is needed... It is very likely people may end up with a mix of diseases..."FluRona" can become a nightmare when the flu is H5N1, H3N3 etc. (lots of flu-types are supposed to be low risk for humans...but people with lower immunity may catch/spread them...with new variants developing..). |

Our analysis of mortality data collected from public records requests (supplemented with publicly available data) from 48 Departments of Corrections provides the most comprehensive understanding to date of in-custody mortality during 2020. We find that total mortality increased by 77% in 2020 relative to 2019, corresponding to 3.4 times the mortality increase in the general population, and that mortality in prisons increased across all age groups (49 and under, 50 to 64, and 65 and older). COVID-19 was the primary driver for increases in mortality due to natural causes; some states also experienced substantial increases due to unnatural causes. These findings provide critical information about the pandemic’s toll on some of the country’s most vulnerable individuals while underscoring the need for data transparency and standardized reporting in carceral settings. DJ, the only good thing on this study is that the study was made and did get public...The US already has 1/4 to 1/5 of ALL prisoners worldwide-with only 4% of the global population. |

[url]https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2023/12/cdc-update-on-covid-variant-jn1-who.html[/url] or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2023/12/cdc-update-on-covid-variant-jn1-who.html ; Two years ago the collective decision was made to slowly de-emphasize the impact of the COVID pandemic by gradually cutting back on surveillance and reporting. As laboratory testing declined in favor of home testing, daily reports were replaced by weekly updates, and then by monthly summaries (often omitting crucial data, like COVID deaths or ICU admissions). As a result, the official WHO Epi Curve for the COVID pandemic makes it look as if COVID has all but vanished over the past 12 months. DJ...a terrible decision with a terrible outcome...very likely DESTROYING !!!! the economy .... The reality is most countries have simply stopped reporting cases, hospitalizations, or deaths. COVID cases and deaths are certainly far lower than during the height of the pandemic, but they are just as certainly much higher than the official numbers would suggest.
But globally, the number of cases appears to have risen 52% over the previous reporting period, with Southeast Asia reporting a nearly 4-fold increase. Deaths (often a lagging indicator) have not risen, but again, many countries aren't reporting deaths at all. - Which is why the WHO Epi report contains multiple caveats, such as the following (emphasis mine):
Digging deeper, the WHO reports that only `36 countries consistently reported new hospitalizations', which represents only about 15% of member nations. Of those, 33% reported a 20% or greater increase over the previous 4-week reporting period. While declaring `victory' over COVID may have been good for the global economy and the political fortunes of a select few, this lack of data integrity leaves us vulnerable to being blindsided.
For now, our immediate concern is the JN.1 variant sweeping the globe, and while we've seen no signs that it is any more severe than previous Omicron variants, it does appear to be more immune evasive. And that means that a lot more people could be infected in the next few months. DJ... With much of the flu season likely still ahead of us, it isn't too late to get both the flu and COVID vaccines, and face masks and hand sanitizer can add prudent additional layers of protection. And if you do get sick, stay home and call your doctor to see if an antiviral would be appropriate. not only "Long CoViD" problems are getting much worse...with less immunity more diseases simply get more room... Not only more people may see infections...those diseases will be able to make more "mistakes"=mutations so other diseases may "go wild" as well... ...very likely a lot of excess deaths may be infected by more than one disease... This against a background of increase of NATO wars and climate collapse the outlook is 'extreme"... DJ-of course -again- I am "not an expert" (who is ?) and hope to be very wrong ! |

[url]https://www.forbes.com/sites/grrlscientist/2024/01/19/avian-influenza-virus-presents-apocalyptic-threat-to-wildlife-around-the-world/?sh=346f1a893b40[/url] or https://www.forbes.com/sites/grrlscientist/2024/01/19/avian-influenza-virus-presents-apocalyptic-threat-to-wildlife-around-the-world/?sh=346f1a893b40 ; Could HPAI influenza infect and kill humans, too? Possibly. This concern is especially relevant considering that our health and the health of both wild and domestic animals are inextricably linked. As the global population grows, humans are increasingly moving into previously uninhabited areas, so more humans come into contact with wildlife and their diseases, which increases our pandemic risk. (COVID-19 is but one such example.) Whether it’s H5N1 or a different virus, it’s inevitable that new viruses will continue to emerge and threaten to trigger another human or wildlife pandemic. “As the virus continues to spread through mammal populations, the World Health Organization (WHO) has called on public health officials to prepare for a potential spillover of H5N1 to people. The ‘R naught’ value — the number of people infected by a single infected person — for COVID initially ranged from 1.5 to 7. For H5N1 among birds, it is around 100,” Dr Walzer reported. A highly contagious novel pathogen like HPAI influenza that can potentially wipe out entire species can likewise threaten the stability of human populations and societies. For this reason, there is urgent need to safeguard the health of people, their pets and livestock, of wildlife, as well as conserve global biodiversity and protect the natural environment to reduce the threat of emerging diseases. “It is imperative that we take a collaborative One Health approach to identifying emerging strains of bird flu across the globe to support the development of specific and universal vaccines that can quickly treat infection in people to prevent another pandemic,” Dr Walzer advised. “The cost of inaction is already causing major devastation to wildlife,” Dr Walzer pointed out. “As we work to help affected populations recover, we must remain vigilant against the spread of this deadly pathogen to people before it’s too late.” DJ, linked to it [url]https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/01/j-of-infection-emergence-of-triple.html[/url] or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/01/j-of-infection-emergence-of-triple.html ; While we generally think of reassortment happening in birds, pigs, or humans, over the past 20 years we've learned that the host range of influenza is much larger than we thought. Today marine mammals, mink & foxes, rodents and even companion animals like dogs and cats are on our watch list (see graphic above).
Since then we've seen multiple reports of influenza viruses in dogs (mostly from Asia), many involving novel reassortments: Canine H3N2 Reassortant With pH1N1 Matrix Gene While the H3Nx virus appears to be on its own worrisome trajectory in dogs (see One Health Adv.: Surveillance & Characterization of Avian-origin H3N2 Canine Influenza Viruses (China 2021)), since the emergence of a more mammalian-adaptable HPAI H5 clade 2.3.4.4b virus, we've also seen an increase in those reports as well. We now see measles showing up because parents do refuse vaccinations in children. Vaccines - in general- do limit risks ! [url]https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/new-strains-of-malaria-parasites-with-mutations-that-evade-diagnostics-and-drugs-has-emerged-in-ethiopia[/url] or https://www.thailandmedical.news/news/new-strains-of-malaria-parasites-with-mutations-that-evade-diagnostics-and-drugs-has-emerged-in-ethiopia the good news is there are new anti-malaria vaccines. Cameroon is testing one...[url]https://www.afro.who.int/countries/cameroon/news/cameroon-kicks-malaria-vaccine-rollout[/url] or https://www.afro.who.int/countries/cameroon/news/cameroon-kicks-malaria-vaccine-rollout ...however if the virus is "on the move" vaccines may become less effective... -[url]https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/01/eid-journal-sars-cov-2-infection-in.html[/url] or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/01/eid-journal-sars-cov-2-infection-in.html DJ, - "One Health"-looking at both animal and human health-should be the norm if we want to see pandemic risks decreasing -We have to decrease meat (and furs...should be banned !!!) consumption to decrease farm-animal risks... -Testing of animals (pets, wild, farm) has to increase-lots of diseases may be spreading undetected The "economy/profits" has to be in balance with global public health... XI JINPING (2023): "Western modernization was fraught with sanguineous crimes such as war, slave trade, colonization, and plunder, which inflicted untold misery on developing countries. Having suffered from aggression, bullying, and humiliation by Western powers, we Chinese are keenly aware of the value of peace and will never follow the beaten path of the West." "The biggest problems with Western modernization are that it is capital-centered rather than people-centered and that it seeks to maximize capital gains rather than serve the interests of the vast majority of the people." We need a "people centered" system...otherwise we are killing ourselves via pandemics...in combination with wars, climate/economic collapse... |

This year did bring 2 human H5N1 cases in Cambodia [url]https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/01/a-review-of-h5n1-clade-2321c-infections.html[/url] or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/01/a-review-of-h5n1-clade-2321c-infections.html So also a Spanish human H5N1 case ? More on it [url]https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/01/china-nhc-statement-fatal-case-of-h3n2.html[/url] or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/01/china-nhc-statement-fatal-case-of-h3n2.html ; A case of H3N2 and H10N5 mixed infection discovered in Zhejiang Province During a retrospective study of fatal cases, Zhejiang Province isolated seasonal H3N2 subtype and avian H10N5 subtype influenza viruses from case specimens on January 22, 2024. - Experts assessed that the complete genetic analysis of the virus showed that the H10N5 virus was of poultry origin and did not have the ability to effectively infect humans. The epidemic was an occasional cross-species transmission from poultry to humans. The risk of the virus infecting humans is low and no human-to-human transmission has occurred. - We've seen studies suggesting that surveillance is lucky if it picks up 1 in 200 novel flu cases (see CID Journal: Estimates Of Human Infection From H3N2v (Jul 2011-Apr 2012), and seroprevalence studies of poultry workers showing very high titers to various subtypes of avian flu.
In countries or regions with less sophisticated testing, surveillance and reporting capabilities, limited community transmission might take much longer to detect. Absence of evidence isn't the same as evidence of absence. Although it tends to get less attention than H5, H7, or even H9 subtypes, avian H10 viruses have also shown a proclivity for spilling over into mammals (see Avian H10N7 Linked To Dead European Seals), and occasionally, infecting humans. DJ,,,so we -by now- are very likely to miss flu spreading in an early stage...including new types of flu... While the number of reported H10 infected humans remains small - possibly due to a lack of surveillance and testing - in 2014's BMC: H10N8 Antibodies In Animal Workers – Guangdong Province, China, we saw evidence that some people may have been infected with the H10N8 virus in China long before the first case was recognized. While this mixed H3N2/H10N5 infection appears to have been a dead-end - with no recognized onward transmission of H10N5 or a H10/N3 reassortment detected - humans (like birds, pigs, and other hosts) have the potential to act as mixing vessels for influenza viruses. Twice in my lifetime (1957 and 1968) avian flu viruses have reassorted with seasonal flu and launched a human pandemic.
DJ, does CoViD infection result in more room for flu to spread ? We could move towards a multi-disease pandemic.... |

DJ, lots of diseases now showing up ; and - - COVID-19 promoting the development of active tuberculosis in a patient with latent tuberculosis 7w after Covid, "her repeat chest imaging showed right upper zone consolidation and this culminated in a microbiological diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis" - - - DJ, While CoViD itself is still widespread also damage to immunity may result in -my view- a lower diseaseload still may bring symptoms. Because of CoViD other diseases may result in symptoms much earlier...Before CoViD other diseases also were around but immunity stopped getting symptoms in time... - DJ...top-priority; fighting Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, China, North Korea, Syria, Yemen.....wasting trillions on criminal wars to "protect the rules (=US$) based order" the west made up in its neo-colonial superiority complex.... [url]https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/[/url] or https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ 5 countries low excess deaths...Statistics go back a long time...The first two months of 2024 may still NOT be at prepandemic level... |

[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingchi[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingchi ; Lingchi ([liΜΕΚΚΚ°Ι»Μ©Μ]; Chinese: ει²), translated variously as the slow process, the lingering death, or slow slicing, and also known as death by a thousand cuts, was a form of torture and execution used in China from roughly 900 CE up until the practice ended around the early 1900s. It was also used in Vietnam and Korea. In this form of execution, a knife was used to methodically remove portions of the body over an extended period of time, eventually resulting in death. DJ...11 times an infectious disease since march 2022 for 9 y/o is "very bad"... And there are lots of other diseas around the corner... DJ, It may become impossible to link excess deaths to single causes..."just" one disease...Lots of people may get long term health issues-a mix of diseases... and DJ...my non-expert view; We need to do much more to restore a basic form of public health...we are moving high speed in the wrong direction... DJ...chronic illnesses will affect economies worldwide... DJ...pandemics, wars, climate disasters are THE WRONG WAY to decrease populations...Lots of countries now see their population decreasing (China, South Korea, Japan a.o.) [url]https://www.statista.com/statistics/264689/countries-with-the-highest-population-decline-rate/[/url] or https://www.statista.com/statistics/264689/countries-with-the-highest-population-decline-rate/ ... Like all statistics "one can play with numbers"...Some western countries see population growth via migration...while "natural" growth is gone...NL population growing because of people moving into NL...But more people die here than are born here... Refugees for climate/war can mean population decline in "disaster countries" (like Ukraine) with growth in a.o. Poland...it can result in vaccines -in a country- becoming less effective because most of the "new population" did not get that much vaccines... |

Even in the short period research has been conducted in, the long-term impacts at population level are very concerning. - Subsequent infections in someone with LC can seriously not only impede any recovery, but make day to day functioning much worse from an already limited baseline. There's a good reason many people with LC are very cautious about mitigating infection. - DJ, still "saving the economy"....

We can see spike and nucleocapsid proteins and even replicating virus inside neurons! Not all these viral proteins are used in vaccines, so people have to be directly infected to see this type of damage. But you can clearly see the virus is in the brain, right? - DJ, CoViD is airborne...and still around in many places-other places (like NL) may see a pause... But Long/chronic CoViD may still show after years... |

[url]https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps[/url] or https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps Italy "moderate excess deaths" 4-7% above the norm, Germany low excess deaths 2-4% above normal...0-14 y/o excess deaths still higher than previous years... -In latest news I had links to H5N1 in sea mammals in South America-very likely spreading from mammal-to-mammal. So far most mammals may have had an H5N1 infection from eating infected birds...but that pattern may have changed in 2023. -Also H3 flu types get extra attention in China...most of the Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza (LPAI) of H3 type still in birds...but there may be some mutations on their way... In general the idea is humans run higher risks for H1, H2 and H3 types of flu...H5N1 -so far- believed less of a risk (H7, H9 flu types most in birds...) DJ-my non expert view; Flu may jump from birds into a.o. pigs, rodents eating infected birds...in combination with other types of flu it may result in a new type of flu that will have pandemic potential... It is not "if" we get another flu-pandemic...only "when"...Also the damage a -bad- flu season can bring-in itself- may be limited if there is enough action to stop it...In a "normal year worldwide 400,000 to 600,000 flu-deaths...In 1957 and 1968 we did see over 1 million flu-deaths in "pandemics"....My view; The Spanish H1N1 flu killing in between 20 and 100 million people -even the timeline is discussed- I go for a wide range; 1917-1923...got out of control because World War One resulted in lots of spread among exhausted men in terrible conditions, censorship because of the war (It was called Spanish-flu because Spain was outside the war...its press could report on it...The pandemic may have started in the US...but maybe also Austria did see a flu-type close to the pandemic one ?) and DJ ; Ukraine may have been a center for multi-resistant TB. CoViD weakening immunity may further increase TB global risks... AGAIN: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to improve testing/sequencing, much better healthchecks on borders...limit air travel... AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!! We are doing ALL WE CAN to get a new pandemic on top of CoViD...."saving the economy" may destroy that economy ! |

[url]https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/03/vietnam-21-yo-university-student.html[/url] or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/03/vietnam-21-yo-university-student.html ; Twenty-four hours after the first report (see here), Vietnamese media are now reporting the student infected with H5Nx has died after 8 days of treatment. - Suffering from influenza A/H5, a 21-year-old male student in Khanh Hoa died - In addition, the patient's family members, including his mother, aunt and sister, are also closely monitored for his health. At this point we still don't know what clade, or even subtype, of H5 Vietnam is dealing with. The most obvious choices are:
It is possible, but less likely, that they are dealing with some other subtype, clade, or variant. More precise laboratory results should be available in a few days. While it is true that the fatality rate of known (i.e. hospitalized and tested) cases of H5Nx has hovered around the 50% mark, what is not known is how many mild or moderately ill cases go unidentified.
A look at H5N1 cases over the past 20 years also shows a wide disparity between the fatality rates of different countries, with Indonesia reporting a staggering 84% CFR (168 deaths out of 200 cases), while Egypt came in at 33% (120 out of 359 cases).
While the reasons aren't entirely clear, younger people (< 40) seem to be more susceptible to H5 infections while the opposite appears true for H7N9 (see H7N9: The Riddle Of The Ages). Eight years ago, in Science: Protection Against Novel Flu Subtypes Via Childhood HA Imprinting, we looked at research which suggested the influenza HA Group type (1 or 2) you are first exposed to makes a significant, and lasting, impression on your immune system H5 is an HA Group type 1 while H7 viruses fall in group 2.
The bad news is, the virus keeps on trying. - DJ, lots of questions on what type of H5-flu the student died...mammal-to-mammal (m2m) spread of H5N1 detected in sea mammals in South America. However we miss over 99% of disease spread in mammals...very likely even miss a lot of H5-flu types -with a lot of infections possibly resulting in no or mild symptoms-for now. DJ-My view; a flu pandemic may already be in the early stages. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_pandemic[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_pandemic |
