How very remarkable that COVID-19 [sic: formatting] is why
'we are experiencing high demand',
while also
justifying no health restrictions anywhere because
'the pandemic is over' [sic].

So remarkable, in fact, that _upon it, I'm right now remarking!_

#HK CHP updates on latest #situation of invasive Group B #Streptococcus #infection https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202409/16/P2024091600596.htm

Patients mainly presented with #sepsis (eight patients) and joint abscess (five patients).

Relieved to be back on my strong #immunosuppression drug tonight, that keeps my frustratingly active life-threatening #neurological disease under control. But also grateful that I stopped the same drug for 2 weeks while I got through my first brush with #Covid. That helped my body cope with the #infection. But yup, feel safer tonight. #immunosuppressed #neuro

Checking my blood #oxygen levels. They’d dropped again, as I’m getting a rebound of my #cold (but not #Covid) #infection picked up at the dental hygienist 12 days ago. Also been feverish and having chills again. Much coughing. Sleeping difficult! A bit better today, oxygen levels are starting to go back up. I’m lucky I tend not to get chest infections, or bacterial things that need antibiotics. But I do tend to get bad upper respiratory viral infections extremely slow to clear. #immunosuppressed

First #haircut for 11 months, and huge thanks to a kind and caring #hairdresser who wore a #mask to protect severely #immunosuppressed me. I’m back to my long term short bob, which is quite a change after 3 years of long #hair, as I avoid haircuts due to the #covid #infection risk. But cool! And easy to look after. I do intend to grow it long again though before another cut in 9-12 months or so. But yup, cut now. Great chat too. Mucho thanks Sam. #Monifieth #Dundee #Angus #Scotland #hairdressers
