fauci saying “vulnerable people will fall by the wayside” and that some will die but that’s ok because we’re not going to see the “tsunami of cases” we’ve seen before is so dehumanising. so babies with no immune system, elderly people, disabled people, and people without adequate access to healthcare can all die of covid. but it’s ok guys because actually they’re just falling to the wayside and everyone else will go back to normal and be fine (sarcasm).

my death or the deaths of my family or friends wouldn’t be us “falling by the wayside”, it would be us being failed by our government, healthcare systems, and communities who have refused to take coronavirus seriously despite mounting anecdotal and scientific evidence of the harm this virus does. fact that people can accept the deaths of vulnerable groups just because they want to eat in a restaurant or don’t want to wear a mask is horrifying

If you've never heard an LRAD go off in person, I *genuinely* do not want to hear your opinion about methods of resistance in the US.

they should invent an anemia treatment with measurable physical effects that also doesn't kill you (difficulty impossible)

[happyfunf3tti]

ive been having such a hectic week so far but i stay silly

[beaniegender]

Great great. Sick just late enough that i can't go and see my family and have a lovely long weekend with them but healthy just in time to go on tiring work travel next week

[sssecret-identy]

Please give them feedback this is a terrible move and will put so many people at risk.

Why? WHY??

U.S. CDC taking comments on potentially limiting COVID vaccine availbility by age or health status. Never mind that the vaccine is crucial to limiting long-term effects that could lead to immunocomprimisation. 🤬🤬🤬

You can comment here.

for 2025 i’d love for my body to stop deteriorating and at least stabilize and for doctors to stop being literally evil. i know this is a big ask but please I just want to live

Severe Infection: Treatment Options | KBK Multispeciality Hospitals

Understanding Severe Infections

Severe infections are conditions where harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, invade the body, causing significant health issues. They can affect various parts of the body, including the lungs, blood, skin, and other organs. Common Severe Infection Symptoms 

Recognizing the symptoms of a severe infection is the first step towards effective treatment. Common severe infection symptoms include:

High Fever: A persistent fever above 101°F (38.3°C) that doesn’t subside with over-the-counter medications.

Chills and Sweats: Uncontrollable shaking chills or night sweats.

Fatigue: Severe tiredness and weakness that doesn’t improve with rest.

Pain: Localized or generalized pain that may be severe.

Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing, which may indicate a lung infection.

Confusion: Sudden changes in mental status, particularly in older adults.

Infection Diagnosis at KBK Multispeciality Hospitals

Accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment. At KBK Multispeciality Hospitals, we utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and techniques to identify the cause of severe infections. Our diagnostic process includes:

Physical Examination: A thorough examination to check for signs of infection, such as swelling, redness, and tenderness.

Laboratory Tests: Blood tests, urine tests, and cultures to identify the type of microorganism causing the infection.

Imaging Studies: X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs to locate the infection and assess the extent of damage.

Bacterial Infection Treatment

Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics. The choice of antibiotic depends on the type of bacteria causing the infection and its resistance patterns. Treatment options include:

Oral Antibiotics: For mild to moderate infections, oral antibiotics are prescribed.

Intravenous Antibiotics: Severe infections often require intravenous (IV) antibiotics administered in the hospital.

Combination Therapy: Sometimes, a combination of antibiotics is necessary to effectively treat the infection.

Regular monitoring is essential to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and to make any necessary adjustments.

Viral Infection Care

Viral infections are more challenging to treat since antibiotics are ineffective against viruses. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting the immune system. Options include:

Antiviral Medications: For certain viral infections, such as influenza and HIV, antiviral medications can help reduce the severity and duration of the illness.

Symptomatic Relief: Over-the-counter medications to reduce fever, pain, and other symptoms.

Supportive Care: Rest, hydration, and proper nutrition are crucial for recovery.

In severe cases, hospitalization may be required to provide supportive care and prevent complications.

Advanced Treatment Options

At KBK Multispeciality Hospitals, we offer advanced treatment options for severe infections, including:

Surgical Intervention: In cases where an infection has caused an abscess or has spread to the bones or other tissues, surgery may be necessary to remove the infected tissue.

Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG): This treatment can boost the immune system and help fight off severe infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room, which can enhance the body’s natural healing process and fight certain types of infections.

Preventive Measures

Vaccination: Stay up-to-date with vaccinations to protect against diseases like influenza, pneumonia, and hepatitis.

Hygiene: Practice good hygiene, including regular handwashing, to prevent the spread of infections.

Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and get adequate sleep to strengthen your immune system.

Avoiding Risks: Take precautions to avoid exposure to known infection sources, such as contaminated water and food, and use protection when necessary.

Conclusion

Severe infections require prompt and effective treatment to prevent serious health complications. At KBK Multispeciality Hospitals, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for all types of infections. Whether it’s bacterial infection treatment, viral infection care, or managing severe infection symptoms, our team of specialists is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and treatment options to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of a severe infection, do not hesitate to seek medical attention.

MEDIA ADVISORY

NEW: COVID19 variant of interest JN.1

Geneva, 19 December 2023 -- Due to its rapidly increasing spread, WHO is classifying the variant JN.1 as a separate variant of interest (VOl) from the parent lineage BA.2.86. It was previously classified as VOl as part of BA.2.86 sublineages.

WHO advises people to take measures to prevent infections and severe disease using all available tools. These include:

-Wear a mask when in crowded, enclosed, or poorly ventilated areas, and keep a safe distance from others, as feasible

-Improve ventilation

-Practise respiratory etiquette - covering coughs and sneezes

-Clean your hands regularly

-Stay up to date with vaccinations against COVID-19 and influenza, especially if you are at high risk for severe disease

-Stay home if you are sick

-Get tested if you have symptoms, or if you might have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or influenza

For health workers and health facilities, WHO advises:

-Universal masking in health facilities, as well as appropriate masking, respirators and other PPE for health workers caring for suspected and confirmed COVID-19 patients.

-Improve ventilation in health facilities

so: masking: good, unequivocally. please mask and please educate others on why they should mask to make the world safer for immune compromised people to participate in.

however: masking is not my policy focus and it shouldn't be yours, either. masking is a very good mitigation against droplet-born illnesses and a slightly less effective (but still very good) mitigation against airborne illnesses, but its place in the pyramid of mitigation demands is pretty low, for several reasons:

it's an individual mitigation, not a systemic one. the best mitigations to make public life more accessible affect everyone without distributing the majority of the effort among individuals (who may not be able to comply, may not have access to education on how to comply, or may be actively malicious).

it's a post-hoc mitigation, or to put it another way, it's a band-aid over the underlying problem. even if it was possible to enforce, universal masking still wouldn't address the underlying problem that it is dangerous for sick people and immune compromised people to be in the same public locations to begin with. this is a solvable problem! we have created the societal conditions for this problem!

here are my policy focuses:

upgraded air filtration and ventilation systems for all public buildings. appropriate ventilation should be just as bog-standard as appropriately clean running water. an indoor venue without a ventilation system capable of performing 5 complete air changes per hour should be like encountering a public restroom without any sinks or hand sanitizer stations whatsoever.

enforced paid sick leave for all employees until 3-5 days without symptoms. the vast majority of respiratory and food-borne illnesses circulate through industry sectors where employees come into work while experiencing symptoms. a taco bell worker should never be making food while experiencing strep throat symptoms, even without a strep diagnosis.

enforced virtual schooling options for sick students. the other vast majority of respiratory and food-borne illnesses circulate through schools. the proximity of so many kids and teenagers together indoors (with little to no proper ventilation and high levels of physical activity) means that if even one person comes to school sick, hundreds will be infected in the following few days. those students will most likely infect their parents as well. allowing students to complete all readings and coursework through sites like blackboard or compass while sick will cut down massively on disease transmission.

accessible testing for everyone. not just for COVID; if there's a test for any contagious illness capable of being performed outside of lab conditions, there should be a regulated option for performing that test at home (similar to COVID rapid tests). if a test can only be performed under lab conditions, there should be a government-subsidized program to provide free of charge testing to anyone who needs it, through urgent cares and pharmacies.

the last thing to note is that these things stack; upgraded ventilation systems in all public buildings mean that students and employees get sick less often to begin with, making it less burdensome for students and employees to be absent due to sickness, and making it more likely that sick individuals will choose to stay home themselves (since it's not so costly for them).

masking is great! keep masking! please use masking as a rhetorical "this is what we can do as individuals to make public life safer while we're pushing for drastic policy changes," and don't get complacent in either direction--don't assume that masking is all you need to do or an acceptable forever-solution, and equally, don't fall prey to thinking that pushing for policy change "makes up" for not masking in public. it's not a game with scores and sides; masking is a material thing you can do to help the individual people you interact with one by one, and policy changes are what's going to make the entirety of public life safer for all immune compromised people.

Anyway, people with brain damage I love you. People who have had strokes I love you, especially if you're told you were "too young" to have one. People who acquired your brain damage by less common means such as infection, lack of oxygen at birth or degenerative disease, I love you. People with moderate and severe brain damage, I love you. People who lost their sight or hearing or ability to speak because of their brain damage, I love you. People who have paralysis from their brain damage, I love you. People with amnesia and severe cognitive issues from their brain damage, I love you. People with rare and unusual symptoms from their brain damage, I love you.

You are not a punchline, you haven't lost your humanity, your thoughts and opinions are as valuable as anyone else's. We deserve respect.

okay i'm very passionate abt oral health/access to dental care and what i feel like isn't really known abt the UK is that despite the NHS and their "free universal healthcare" it's becoming just as if not MORE difficult to get dental care for anybody over there than it is here. and that's so crazy
