#Covid on the rise as experts say England has ‘capitulated’ to the virus

#Immunologists push for increase in testing and more widespread #vaccine booster rollout as new variant, #XEC, emerges

Prof Danny Altmann, an immunologist at Imperial College London, said those working in the field were perplexed by the current attitude to the battle against Covid, as the latest figures showed an increase in hospital admissions.

University of Houston nasal vaccine prevents COVID from spreading

A team of researchers from the University of Houston have developed a new vaccine to treat and prevent the spread of flu and multiple coronavirus strains.
Through two nasal sprays — an immune activating therapeutic treatment and a new vaccine — the team of UH researchers have not only broken ground on vaccinating against SARS-CoV-2 and the flu virus, but also on creating a universal coronavirus vaccine.

Varadarajan said AuraVax Therapeutics aims to start phase 1 of testing the potentially broad-spectrum treatment within a year, and hopes their new nasal vaccine will follow in time too.

These really are terrific; I've downloaded six of them. I chose the ones picturing white women because I'm a white woman; there are other alternatives. And each notes a different good reason for masking.

#coronatagebuch:
Der gestrige 4. Coronatag war hauptsächlich davon geprägt Schleim hoch zu husten und, wegen der massiv geschwollenen Lympfknoten im Hals, nicht bzw. nur mit ziemlichen Schmerzen schlucken zu können. Wobei es mir hast gelungen wäre damit ins Guinessbuch der Rekorde zu kommen: Wieviel Mal schafft es ein Mensch pro Stunde zu husten und dabei lilablau anzulaufen. ;-)
Und was jeder, der mich kennt, nicht glauben kann: Essen ekelt mich an! Alles schmeckt immer nur seltsam und obendrein bereitet das Schlucken große Probleme.
Abends steigt die Temperatur dann auch immer noch an und ich habe es wieder auf 39,5°C geschafft. Das geht mit Schüttelfrost und großem Frieren einher. Nachts fällt da Fieber dann wieder was bedeutet, dass man das Bett schneller nass schwitzt als man gucken kann und es ziemlich eklig ist im klatschnassen Bett aufzuwachen.
Heute früh habe ich mal wieder einen Coronatest gemacht und der Strich wird dünner - also die Virenlast sinkt, was man an den Symptomen leider noch nicht wirklich merkt.
Gestern kam es im Fernsehen in "mex. das marktmagazin" auf hr: Die Krankenkasse übernimmt die Impfkosten auch bei unter 60-jährigen. Die Altersgrenze von 60 ist nur eine Empfehlung (!) des RKI. Also macht bei eurem Hausarzt Druck und besteht auf die Impfung oder sucht euch eine alternative Stelle zum Impfen. Denn das was meine Frau und ich gerade durchmachen ist, wenigstens in der Ausprägung, vermeidbar.

" #Corona ist doch nur eine Erkältung..."
Wer das behauptet darf gerne mal bei uns vorbei kommen und sich ein paar Viren abholen. Meine Uschi hat sich am Arbeitsplatz im Krankenhaus infiziert (zusammen mir Kolleginnen, deswegen konnte das ziemlich genau eingegrenzt werden). Die Tests sind seit gestern positiv und sie hat 40,4°C Fieber und Schmerzen am gesamten Körper.
Braucht kein Mensch...

Protect the NHS and All Healthcare

We urge the Government to implement a policy requiring mask wearing in all healthcare settings including hospitals, clinics and GP practices for staff, visitors and patients. An FFP2 minimum should be mandated, to protect against infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

Vulnerable patients, such as the elderly, individuals with weakened immune systems, and those undergoing treatments, are at higher risk of severe illness or death from infectious diseases.

Requiring everyone in healthcare settings to wear masks is a crucial preventive measure to reduce the spread of diseases, including COVID-19, and protect patients from airborne infections.

Masks act as a barrier, preventing transmission and safeguarding the health of patients and healthcare workers alike.

NHS confirms Covid is circulating with cases expected to increase

The health board has confirmed that respiratory infections, including Covid, were circulating in Shetland – and are expected to increase through autumn and winter.

It follows national reports of a new variant with a “high number of mutations” detected in the UK – with experts keeping a close eye on its spread.

Hundreds of hospital wards closed due to Covid outbreaks

At least 237 wards were closed to new admissions - typically for periods of around seven to 10 days - in a bid to prevent the virus spreading to other patients.

That compares to a total of 93 ward closures up to the end of July for all other infection control incidents combined, including cases of norovirus, flu, RSV, or gastroenteritis.

The true figures will be higher, however, as NHS Dumfries and Galloway has not yet responded to a freedom of information request and NHS Lothian - Scotland's second largest health board - said it was unable to provide data.
