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!_

Advocate & vote for better conditions for working, parenting & disability.

Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.

Do managers want:

Only ONE person this week out sick?
Or else a half-dozen in coming weeks?

Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.
Advocate and vote for better conditions when working, parenting, and disabled. Join a union or start one at your workplace. Push for no-fault sick leave, especially when local infectious outbreaks flare up.
Check what air filtration systems are installed where people gather, mainly indoor spaces. Consider public transport, at work, schools, public buildings, and manufacturing. Ask some organisations what their air quality data and upgrade plans are.

Researchers seeking alternative means to foil antibiotic-resistant bacteria have found that a fatty acid found in ginger and turmeric reduces the ability of *Staphylococcus aureus* to adhere to mammalian tissue, limiting its ability to spread, but not killing it and so, perhaps, not inducing an adaptive response.

@fabio Also due to these regulations I cannot buy antibiotic ointment when the Czech regime is depriving me of healthcare when I have an infected eczema and am afraid it will produce sepsis and I die, because antibiotic ointment ran out and when I call a dermatologist and tell I need it urgently she gives me an appointment 4 months (!!!) in the future!

In a corrupt developing 3rd world dictatorship Cambodia it is possible to buy antibiotic ointments without prescription and also dermatologist wait there is only 7-10 days, not 4 months.

#Epidemiological characterization of #human #infection with #H5N6 avian #influenza

Source: Frontiers in Public Health, Abstract Background: In recent years, there have been frequent reports of human infection with H5N6 avian influenza. However, the fundamental characteristics of the disease remain unclear. This paper conducts a systematic review to explore the epidemiological features of the disease, aiming to provide a foundation for epidemic prevention and control…

These results demonstrate that GI perturbations such as microbial translocation can occur in even mild SARS-CoV-2 infections and may contribute to the #COVID19 #inflammatory state.

An increased #risk for #human #infection with avian influenza A(#H5N1) viruses is of concern. We developed an internally controlled, dual-target reverse transcription PCR for influenza A(H5) subtyping. This test could be used to detect influenza A(H5) in clinical samples.

Diabète, sclérose en plaques : des virus responsables de maladies auto-immunes ? | RTS

Les #virus sont de plus en plus accusés d’être les déclencheurs de maladies auto-immunes chez des personnes prédisposées génétiquement. Ainsi, la #sclérose en plaque apparait comme une complication rare de l’ #infection par le virus Epstein #Barr. De même, le virus #Coxsackie B semble un facteur majeur dans la survenue du #diabète de type 1 chez l’enfant. En limitant ces infections virales par des #vaccins ciblés, serait-il possible de prévenir certaines maladies #auto-immunes ?

Concurrent #Infection with Clade 2.3.4.4b Highly Pathogenic Avian #Influenza #H5N6 and #H5N1 Viruses, South #Korea, 2023, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/6/24-0194_article

HPAI H5N6 & H5N1 viruses of clade 2.3.4.4b were simultaneously introduced into South Korea at end of 2023. An outbreak at a broiler duck farm consisted of concurrent infection by both viruses. Sharing genetic information and international surveillance of such viruses in wild birds and poultry is critical.

#Contamination warnings issued for 5 #MaineBeaches heading into Labor Day weekend

John Terhune, Portland Press Herald, Maine
September 1, 2023

"Contaminated waters could hinder #beach adventures from York to Camden this Labor Day weekend.

The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has issued contamination warnings for five Maine beaches after finding elevated levels of #fecalbacteria.

"The affected beaches are #WillardBeach in #SouthPortland, #GooseRocksBeach in #Kennebunkport, #GoochsBeach in #Kennebunk, #CapeNeddickBeach in #YorkMaine and #LaiteBeach in #CamdenMaine. Total beach closures are rare in Maine, and as of Friday night all five affected beaches remained open.

"The presence of enterococci bacteria suggests water also may contain other harmful bacteria, #viruses or #parasites, according to the DEP's Maine Healthy Beaches program, which tracks water quality at public beaches from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Contact with contaminated water can cause flu-like symptoms, #gastrointestinal issues, rashes and #infection.

"Beachgoers are advised to avoid areas with contamination warnings.

"Laite Beach in Camden, which had more than 26 times more fecal bacteria than the threshold deemed safe, was the most contaminated beach on Friday night, according to DEP data."
