Hier also mein Artikel über den -Winter.
Viele Punkte kennt man schon. Corona selbst erscheint nicht mehr so dramatisch, allerdings mit zwei potenziellen Einschränkungen.

Spannend wird, was und RSV mit den Kindern machen.
In DE erzählen sich ja alle gegenseitig, sei für Kinder harmlos.
Ahahaha. Nein.
Hab neulich n Seminar von ner US-Pädiaterin gesehen, da waren allein zwei ganze Slides voll mit gängigen .

These combined SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A/B home lateral flow tests could be quite useful.
How would it change management?
How well might it facilitate early detection for those in which antivirals such as Oseltamivir are indicated and treatment needs to be started within 48hrs of symptom onset?
Could false -ves delay treatment where people avoid seeking better diagnostic tests?

Hm, wenn "nur eine Grippe" ist, warum landen dann 55% mehr der erkrankten im Krankenhaus? 🤔

Und warum sterben daran über 12 Mal - in Worten: ZWÖLFMAL - mehr Menschen als an ?

(Masken schützen übrigens vor beidem. Impfungen auch.)

“The cats were found dead with no apparent signs of injury and were from a resident population of ≈24 domestic cats that had been fed [unpasteurised] milk from sick cows. Clinical disease in cows on that farm was first noted on March 16; the cats became sick on March 17, and several cats died in a cluster during March 19–20. In total, >50% of the cats at that dairy became ill and died.”

Liebe im #Gesundheitswesen tätige Menschen jeglicher Anstellungsart und Verantwortlichkeit,
bitte hört (endlich) auf denjenigen, die sich mit #Maske an Eurer Wirkstätte aufhalten zu sagen, sie bräuchten die Maske nicht mehr zu tragen - weil es ja keine Pflicht mehr dazu gäbe.

Jede*r von uns mit 😷 schützt Euch und all die anderen Pat. mit! Nicht nur vor #Covid19 auch vor #Influenza uvm.
Wir tragen bewusst und absichtlich Maske, weil sie deutlich weniger belastet als #PostCovid / #LongCovid

PBS: There is growing concern about the continuing spread of the highly contagious bird flu in the U.S. While federal health officials say the risk to humans is low, the virus has now spread to dairy cattle and sickened one person. William Brangham discussed more with Jennifer Nuzzo of the Pandemic Center at Brown University's School of Public Health. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/growing-concerns-about-bird-flu-cases-in-u-s-farm-animals-and-risk-to-humans

Queensland: "Doctors are acquiring RSV, COVID and influenza in the state’s hospitals in rising numbers, sparking the state’s peak medical body to call for urgent action to better protect medics in an already struggling healthcare workforce."

#COVID19 #RSV #Influenza #Queensland @auscovid19

Source: https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/covid-rsv-influenza-qld-doctor-shortage-looms-as-viruses-spread/news-story/466e4388488f4a90de2e759b9eac5231

The plea for action comes as new data obtained by The Courier-Mail shows one quarter of all Queensland Health employees were granted special Covid leave last year. A Right to Information request shows that from December 26 2022 to December 24 2023 a total of 29,843 Queensland Health employees took Special Pandemic Leave (SPL). This is 24.7 per cent of Queensland Health’s headcount. The average hours taken per employee was 37.64 hours. The special leave is separate from sick leave. The Australian Medical Association Queensland is so concerned about the numbers of medics catching respiratory illnesses in the last few days the association has written to the Acting Chief Health Officer Assoc Prof Catherine McDougall calling for an overhaul of hospital ventilation and infection testing and safety protocols. “Doctors have advised that Redcliffe and Ipswich EDs are experiencing significant staff absences, with each having up to eight doctors on sick leave in recent days,” AMAQ president Maria Boulton wrote. Dr Boulton said that there have been concerns for some time about the impact of hospital-acquired infections of staff and patients.
“It’s shocking but not surprising to see so many staff having to take time off with Covid. We are still seeing the impact this year, with members telling us about significant staff absences just in recent days due to Covid, influenza, RSV and whooping cough,” she said. “We have not yet had feedback on the Chief Health Officer John Gerrard’s visits to individual hospitals where he was to talk with staff about infection prevention and control. “We need action sooner rather than later. Queensland Health should consider the expert recommendations in Australian and the World Health Organisation’s research published just last month about air quality in public buildings,” the AMAQ chief said. In early January 2023 Dr Gerrard downgraded Covid protocols in the state from amber to green. Amber required masks in health settings. The AMAQ emphasised in the correspondence to the acting CHO that the recent absences were being reported by their members “as staff absences due to illness are not published so we cannot determine if current rates are higher than in previous periods and could be fairly attributed to the current spread of respiratory viruses in the community”. Queensland Health confirmed that the special pandemic leave provisions for Queensland Health staff are influenced by recommendations from the Communicable Disease Network Australia (CDNA).

#Covid #Influenza

Ongoing pandemic, update:

The burden of disease by Covid is much higher than the burden by influenza, as evident by UKHSA/NHS SARI Watch data.

Note the scale on the ICU/HDU figures.
