Strep A geht wieder rum (ein weiteres Jahr mit unerwartet vielen schweren Fällen).
Anbei ein Bericht aus Canada. 🇨🇦

Ein #Traktor für die Aufmerksamkeit. Es sind ja nur Kinder. Das geht schon mal unter und ist wenig relevant.

Und liebe #Journalisten, insbesondere das #ZFD, #ORF, #SRF und die #ARD, bitte nicht das dritte Jahr in Folge was von Immunschuld labern.

Infection with Streptococcus pyogenes after childbirth can have life threatening consequences. Here, Catton et al. show that the epidemiologically associated bacterial R28 protein targets the human CEACAM1 receptor to facilitate the pathogenesis of bacterial sepsis.

Great overview of the #AAIDS pandemic.

"COVID-19 causes turnover and aging of the immune cells responsible for responding to both COVID-19 and other pathogens"

[...]

"This immune dysfunction or aging is at least one of the most likely scenarios explaining the recent surges in diseases like RSV, influenza, Strep A, and other infections"

Maandag beginnen de scholen weer. De #griepgolf heeft de piek nog niet bereikt, volgens NRC dreigt een #zorginfarct, dan zijn er nog #StrepA, het #RSvirus en #corona in de mix.

De meeste scholen hebben nog altijd geen werk gemaakt van schone lucht. Verder ligt er geen enkel écht plan, behalve wat spatschermen en looproutes in wat sectoren. Als het écht moet. #Mondkapje in het OV? In de zorg? Niemand begint er zelfs over. Op naar het zorginfarct dan maar!

@zerocovid does anyone know if the NHS still plans to move ahead with the plan to proactively dose healthy children with antibiotics? This approach seriously concerns me. #strepa #antibiotics
