It's a fact that healthcare associated infections aren’t rare. They’re systemic. When underreported, we don’t just miss data, we miss warning signs. Every outbreak ignored is a life endangered. Transparency isn’t optional. It’s the backbone of public health.

More evidence that Covid hurts children.
In a sample of 100 children from Indonesia who had Covid, 47% showed abnormal pulmonary function on spirometry and 18% had persistent symptoms lasting more than three months following SARS-CoV-2 infection

I’m less worried for humans, considering recent advances in prevention of severe disease, and more worried about birds and other mammals. The wildlife losses have been terrible.

This is horrific.
![In one example several years ago, a woman's car had a "kill switch" activated that prevented her from driving beyond a 1 kilometre radius from her home.
"[The woman] basically had this very small environment where she could drop the kids off at school, go to the grocery store, but couldn't do much beyond it," Ms Inman Grant said.
"So she kept going to the family mechanic, who happened to be a friend of her partner's, and of course he had orchestrated it all, and once she figured that out through a domestic and family violence service, she was able to get the issue addressed elsewhere."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nfpnrj26dwghildumnphjuee/bafkreic6vy5ebom42fkpufk4kw37hpzcajvtwhonrwkbdm2y5jbjqxroby@jpeg)

How ludicrous for Labor to cut $5 billion in public services during a cost of living crisis. Every six months the government pays around $5b in Fuel Tax Credits to mining corporations to burn fossil fuels. If Labor is going to cut spending, cut handouts to fossil fuel barons.

Influenza cases in SA have continued to rise after that report, up to 128/day or ~900/week.
I expect this is a second wave driven by the new influenza variant clade K, which has kicked off early waves in Japan, the UK and elsewhere. This year's vaccine is a poor match.
