I have Covid. I’m being made to stay in my room. I have to have all my meals in my room. I said I didn’t want to because my room is my safe space. I tried to eat breakfast in the garden and I got told off and banished to my room. I hate this. When it was flu for the last 2 weeks no one cared at all.

And the staff have been coming in ill for several weeks now, coughing over everything and claiming it’s fine because they’re eating raw garlic (the house stinks) which prevents diseases. Now they’re getting cross at me for exposing them (I am at least wearing a mask).

The house has no Covid tests so goodness knows when I’ll be out of Covid jail as I have no way to assess when I’ll be negative unless my parents come and bring me some. The staff have been saying they’ll buy new Covid tests for a month now and haven’t.

Mask Week of Action 2023 - Recap

ICYMI we called on healthcare workers to mask up and protect patients last week. Here are some highlights from my own "Mask Week of Action" posts promoting the push to keep masks in healthcare (and bring them back in places that dropped them long ago).

I will never understand how this happened.

Candida Auris: What It Is, and How to Protect Yourself

Candida auris is a type of yeast that can cause serious infections in humans. It was first identified in 2009 in Japan, but since then, it has spread to other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. This fungus is particularly concerning because it is often resistant to multiple types of antifungal medications, making it difficult to treat and potentially deadly.

What is Candida Auris?

Candida auris is a type of yeast that belongs to the Candida family. It is an emerging pathogen, meaning that it is a relatively new microbe that is causing infections in humans. The first case of Candida auris was reported in 2009 in Japan, but it has since been identified in more than 30 countries.

Candida auris can cause a range of infections, including bloodstream infections, wound infections, and ear infections. It is particularly concerning because it is often resistant to multiple types of antifungal medications. This makes it difficult to treat and can lead to severe illness and death in some cases.

How is Candida Auris Spread?

Candida auris can be spread through direct contact with contaminated surfaces or objects, as well as through person-to-person contact. It is commonly found in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and long-term care facilities, where it can easily spread from patient to patient.

It is also possible for Candida auris to be present on the skin or in the nostrils of healthy people without causing an infection. However, these individuals can still potentially spread the fungus to others.

Symptoms of Candida Auris Infection

Symptoms of Candida auris infection can vary depending on the type and severity of the infection. However, common symptoms may include fever, chills, and pain or tenderness at the site of the infection. In severe cases, Candida auris can cause sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the infection spreads throughout the bloodstream.

How to Protect Yourself from Candida Auris

Preventing the spread of Candida auris requires a combination of measures, including good hygiene practices and infection control measures. Here are some tips to help protect yourself from Candida auris:

Practice good hand hygiene: Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, especially before and after caring for someone who is sick or visiting a healthcare facility.

Follow infection control guidelines: If you are a healthcare worker, make sure to follow the infection control guidelines established by your facility to prevent the spread of Candida auris.

Keep wounds clean and covered: If you have a wound or skin infection, make sure to keep it clean and covered with a sterile bandage.

Use antifungal medications appropriately: If you are prescribed an antifungal medication for a Candida auris infection, make sure to take it exactly as prescribed and finish the entire course of treatment.

Seek medical attention if you have symptoms of an infection: If you have symptoms of an infection, such as fever, chills, or pain, seek medical attention promptly.

In conclusion, Candida auris is a serious and potentially deadly yeast infection that requires attention and proper care. By practicing good hygiene and following infection control measures, you can help protect yourself and others from the spread of this emerging pathogen.

In fairness, I recently visited three different wards and two waiting rooms and one clinic in two different hospitals. I brought a CO2 monitor each time and the air quality was great in there.

I had to bring masks to the person in the first hospital and they have a hard time wearing them and were not always conscious. If it hadn’t been for the ventilation I would have worried.

As it happened they did fine without the mask in that environment, and were more able to tolerate it for the short periods when being moved around for tests because they didn’t have to wear it all the time.

That hospital was being renovated and I had to watch like a hawk that they didn’t get moved to an old, unventilated ward while my back was turned.

I saw whacking great air purifiers in two of the waiting rooms too. Really encouraging, especially when you hear so much about IC dismissing airborne transmission. So happy to see this progress.

Her, I understand you're hurting, and it's natural to feel that way when your feelings aren't reciprocated. Rain's curiosity is just that—curiosity. It doesn't mean he's interested in you romantically, especially since he's clearly committed to his girlfriend. Comparing yourself to her is only going to make you feel worse. She's his "diamond," and that's his perception, not a reflection of your worth.

You're focusing on small actions and interpreting them as signs of interest, but they likely aren't. He's not intentionally leading you on; he simply isn't interested in you in that way. It's important to accept that. Dwelling on what could have been or what you perceive as missed signals will only prolong your pain.

Rain is, as you said, unattainable. He's like the sky – vast and out of reach. Instead of chasing an impossible dream, focus on yourself and your own happiness. There are plenty of people out there who will appreciate you and give you the attention you deserve without you having to beg or ask. You deserve someone who sees your worth and cherishes you for who you are. Let go of Rain and allow yourself to find that person. It's time to wake up and move on. You deserve better.
