China shows what can be done to save lives from COVID, even with their poor roll-out of vaccinations: Covid in China: Million in lockdown in Wuhan after four cases wrote: Almost one million people in a suburb of Wuhan - China's central city where the coronavirus was first recorded - have been placed under lockdown. Those numbers look very much more healthy than for too many in other parts of the world! Stay safe folks!!

A trail begins on an alternative to silicon implants that could be good news for breast cancer patients and those who arn't satisfied with what they have. World-first breast implant trial in Australia aims to provide safer alternative to silicone. ...In simple terms, scientists use a 3D printer to create a scaffold that looks like an intricately woven breast implant. |

Well I hope that Chinese authorities are more open about this than they were with COVID-19. New Langya virus infects 35 people in China. Doctors in China have sounded the alarm over a newly detected virus. |

How have people missed vaccinating their children against this?!!!

The anti-vax crew is absolutely responsible for the return of old diseases that were once eradicated in the modern world. Polio found in New York City wastewater, indicating a silent spread. We have a concentrated mob of them down the hill from here in the Northern Rivers region of this state and they're popping these old diseases out on a regular basis these days because of their moronic stupidity. :-( |

The good and the bad and the ugly?... We have for the latest: UK ONS 5th August 2022 wrote: The estimated number of people testing positive for COVID-19: And we also have: Sky News - Covid-19: UK first country to get new jab targeting Omicron wrote: 15 Aug 2022 Pharma giant Moderna has announced the UK will be the first country to receive the next-generation Bivalent ["double action"] COVID-19 vaccine. BBC News - Covid: UK first country to approve dual-strain vaccine wrote: ... Originally those aged 50-65 were not going to be jabbed. However, the immunisation campaign has been expanded because of the fast spread of variants, uncertainty about how the virus will mutate and the expectation that we will be more social and give virus a helping hand this winter - including at Christmas. So... Have we 'given up' on vaccinating the youth and sacrificing the old for the sake of stirring the economy? And our health service and good health be damned??... Why is this not more prominent in the news?... All a very deadly game of politics and good health... Stay healthy folks!

So... Have we 'given up' on vaccinating the youth and sacrificing the old for the sake of stirring the economy? The over 65's have already got their 4th jab, or could have if they took up the offer, months ago, I had mine in June, so with 6 months between jabs not due until next year. The 50 - 65 year olds are just the next batch, which were not at much risk, if they have had three jabs. It is only because this new jab is better with the new variants that it is being offered. |

Can an old vaccine be of help with COVID? Trial finds 100-year-old tuberculosis vaccine offers protection against COVID to high-risk patients and may help with other infectious diseases. Data from a trial seeking to determine whether multiple injections of a tuberculosis vaccine developed in the 1900s could protect high-risk diabetes patients from COVID produced some positive results, according to a study in Cell Medicine Reports.But I think that larger trials are needed 1st to be sure. |

Are we moving into a game of complacency, despite still silly high numbers of infection?... Covid infections keep falling in August across UK wrote: ... 1.4 million people would have tested positive for Covid that week - 2.2% of the [UK] population [(one in 45 in England)] - a drop from 1.7 million the previous week... YET. We know that Omicron SARS2 is highly infectious and the infection has already been widely spread before any symptoms show... Which is the main reason we have a worldwide pandemic. ... For my cynical mind of repeated management ineptitude: Is this a dumb spreadsheet trick to try to keep more health staff at work despite shortages and the staff themselves getting ill?...

How is this now so far out of the news?... US life expectancy falls to lowest level since 1996 wrote: US life expectancy has fallen to the lowest level seen since 1996, continuing a steep decline largely driven by the Covid-19 pandemic... Reading elsewhere recently, we have: The WHO reporting that covid has now killed over 1 Million people worldwide, and the pandemic continues; Here in the UK, part of the extra 16% deaths that we are suffering is due to an increase in cardiac patients and the NHS being overstretched; And whether or not to wear face masks has been made a political statement rather than good healthy sense...
