August 2024:
121 Influenza deaths
4,591 COVID deaths (38x flu)
8.4 Wastewater SARS-CoV-2 (very high)
August 2023 (1 yr ago):
91 Influenza deaths
4,150 COVID deaths (46x flu)
4.8 Wastewater SARS-CoV-2 (medium) DJ, I think the above is a US story...however reflecting a global health crisis. With lots of untested deaths...CoViD causing damage all over the body... https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/09/ukhsa-releases-updated-mpox-technical.html or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/09/ukhsa-releases-updated-mpox-technical.html ; Due to limited surveillance and testing in the DRC (only about 20% of suspected cases are ever confirmed), we only have a limited understanding of the severity or transmissibility of this new threat. The WHO reported last weekend:
While the risks of sustained community spread of Mpox Clade Ib outside of Central Africa is currently believed to be low (see ECDC Assessment), we are dealing with limited data, and the reality that this virus continues to evolve. DJ, UK politcs again discussing CoViD strategies; < aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="menu" aria-label="More" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" -testid="caret" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> The truly ironic thing is that, during ‘The Long Pause’, the only sound you can hear is the faint hum of the HEPA air filters cleaning the air in the room…
…while Dr Ritchie contemplates whether ventilation is only a useful precaution if Covid is airborne.
(H/t ) DJ, Both the WHO and lots of countries sticked to "droplet" spread; CoViD was supposed to be NOT airborne...While they themselves increased ventilation to reduce risks... If you even fail to go for ANY serious testing on ANY disease how you can even claim to have ANY control over it ???????
