Fascinating. I thought it looked like a likely candidate to do this. Technically, a significantly mutated strain that hits the north and south in one go could be thought of as a pandemic strain.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I’m from the generation that remembers when these diseases ran rampant. Perhaps we need to be reminded with a dose of repeated history

That was exactly what happened in our school outbreak. Everyone thought it was gastro, but then the kids didn't get better. They started showing flu-like symptoms and finally someone tested (Flu A). Not before it spread tho. I know of 3 kids from one grade who spent time in hospital 😞 Very nasty.

Australian Influenza update:
It became clear during November that a unusual second wave of influenza is underway in Australia, driven by the new "clade K" (H3N2 clade 2a.3a.1, subclade K).
Tasmania, New South Wales and South Australia are currently the hardest-hit.

Just be aware. One of the severe cases of influenza in a child recently presented primarily with GI symptoms before progressing to MOF.
There is a risk of missing the window for specific treatment if you don’t think of flu A.

I’ve finished all my paperwork. Moodles. CPD. Taxes. School permission slips. Warranty forms. Insurance stuff. Deleting random emails and unsubscribing from rubbish.
Although… one of my moodles was really late because I thought the reminders were phishing. 🤣

Well.

NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.”
This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

Agreed but there are a LOT of Canadians who can’t avoid healthcare bc they have been disabled by hospital acquired infections(leading to complications & chronic illnesses)
These poor patients are now being forcibly infected over&over making their conditions worse
Simply bc HCWs refuse to wear N95s
