It’s winter and winter means a surge of seasonal flu infections in the northern hemisphere. This year, however, Americans are looking at not just a surge in seasonal flu infections but it is coupled with a surge in three other infections: A quadruple-whammy of viruses are hitting the US as millions go back to work after the holidays, data shows. Official figures reveal that infections cause by flu, Covid, RSV (a respiratory illness that causes the cold) and norovirus (sometimes called the stomach flu) all started to surge over the Christmas period, when families gathered to celebrate. And experts say figures will only continue to rise over the coming weeks as the US heads into the peak period of its annual flu season. The data on infections and hospitalizations are staggering: Data shows that norovirus cases are at their highest level for this time of year since 2012, while RSV hospitalizations are up nearly 40 percent in two weeks. An estimated 3.1million people have been sickened by the flu so far this season, while 37,000 have been hospitalized and 1,500 have died. And the number of states with 'very high' levels of the disease has quadrupled in a week to eight. There have also been an estimated 2.5 to 4.4million Covid cases between October 1 and December 7, estimates suggest, including 72,000 to 120,000 hospitalizations and 8,200 to 13,000 deaths. Not surprisingly, the same failed medical establishment that orchestrated the disastrous COVID-19 response is back with more of the same – already advocating for the return of mask mandates: The surge in infections is prompting a return of mask mandates in some states, with a hospital system in Wisconsin this week becoming the latest to reinstate them. Hospitals in parts of California, Illinois, Indiana and New Jersey have also brought back the rules for staff and visitors. Officials in New York City are urging people to consider wearing a face mask on public transport. They are not only advocating for the return of failed mask mandates but they are urging Americans to get a flu vaccine that their own data shows is wholly ineffective. According to the University of Minnesota, this year’s flu vaccine was entirely ineffective against the flu in South America (who experience the seasonal flu before those of us here in North America): The effectiveness of the seasonal flu vaccine against hospitalization among high-risk groups during the 2024 seasonal flu season in five Southern Hemisphere countries was low (35%), down from 50% in 2023 Even the Centers for Disease Control is admitting that the experience of our neighbors to the south is likely to be replicated here in North America during this fall and winter: "While Southern Hemisphere data cannot predict exactly what will happen in the Northern Hemisphere, what we can say is that if we see similar influenza viruses (strains or clades) circulating this season in the Northern Hemisphere, we can expect similar vaccine effectiveness against influenza-related hospitalizations," lead author Erica Zeno, PhD, epidemic intelligence service officer with the CDC’s Influenza Division, told CIDRAP News in an email. This flu season, the United States is using trivalent (three-strain) vaccines with the same components as those in Southern Hemisphere vaccines, Zeno said. Poster Comment: Sorry to see Tn up at the top in Emergency Room visits. Not good. Stay away from doctors. Zinc kills viruses. But it needs help to get into the cell. Quercetin (a bioflavonoid), Green Tea extract, Green tea, Hydroxy chloroquine all get the Zinc into the cell.

A rainbow coalition against Jews doesn't require Whites or Pro-Whites. It can be just as brown or anti-white as you like.
