I just got through a bad case of RSV
Its worse than covid at filling up beds.
2 weeks hospital, double pnuemonia, further infection and it could have taken me out.
Still recovering.
Don't think you can get through it, get help early.

Wellington nurse dies after experiencing 'flu-like symptoms', husband battles on in ICU

A “vivacious” Lower Hutt nurse has died after experiencing flu-like symptoms, while her husband battles on in the ICU.

Otherwise fit and healthy, 53-year-old Maria Packe-Leonard died at Wellington Hospital on July 21.

Her husband, 53-year-old John Leonard, remains in a critical condition, leaving their two teenage sons facing an uncertain future.

These new ones are mutating and now worse than covid. More spreadible and more deadly. Now leading in numbers of beds in hospital and hardly any press.... New covid variant and its a pandemic.
There is apparently a vaccine for RSV and barely mentioned.

The next democrat to endorse Trump?

Not going to happen, Zuckerberg is only stepping back now in order to protect his organisation's future just in case Trump wins the election.

He's basically having a bit each way. Zuckerberg is a dyed in the wool Democrat. Whatever happens in November he wants to be seen as not being "against" anyone

Interesting move by the Zuck. I agree, BZ. He’s trying to get absolution by blaming the outgoing Biden Admin….

Covid may increase the risk for high cholesterol for up to a year after infection, two recent studies suggest, prompting some doctors to take a closer look at the apparent trend.

"It's something that we need to pay more attention to," said Dr. Ashish Sarraju, a cardiologist with the Preventive Cardiology and Rehabilitation section at the Cleveland Clinic, adding that the latest research is "provocative."

I just had some tests and had high cholesterol for the first time.
Also found out that in hospital my liver was on the verge of shutting down... which converts and makes cholesterol.

A prisoner on a hunger strike is returning to jail after he was admitted to Waikato Hospital in a serious condition. Brad Flutey was in Spring Hill Corrections Facility after he was found guilty of a number of charges stemming from the anti-mandate protest including not wearing a mask in a bottle shop in Whangārei during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2022. He is yet to be sentenced after protracted delays caused by Flutey being absent from several court appearances.

According to the lawyer who represents Flutey, Sue Grey, he had been on a hunger strike since July because he was “aggrieved” at the charges that landed him in prison.

Grey said he Flutey was now trying to end his 57 day hunger strike, but it was a complicated process as he was in a serious condition.
