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

Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to finally withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization...

Official Testimony Bill Gates was behind the World Health Organization global power grab

The WHO also involved in “WHO sex crime scandal, where 83 WHO staff has sexually exploited girls and women �� including rape — victims as young as 13”

“Gates bought the WHO, and they now recommend his products. It is that simple. WHO's current sugar daddy is Bill Gates, who has made billions out of his investment in the same vaccines that WHO promotes.”

This official testimony is absolutely INSANE🤔

Sitting on Sang-woo’s lap and slowly making out with him for a couple hours with his shirt unbuttoned and his hair all messed up breathing heavy would fix EVERYTHING WRONG IN MY LIFE

sorry sorry. but the fact that. sansûkh. is free??? to read???? online????? HALF A MILLION WORDS of the best writing i have ever read??? characters that each have depth and MEANING? the retrograding of the hobbit movies so that the dwarves are more fleshed out?? the mix of both the movies and the books (especially for gimlis lackluster personality in the films). i’m rereading it even though i first read it maybe 4 months ago and im still in awe that someone can write something so beautiful. so spectacular. like this is the bible for depressed gay middle earth fans. and this isn’t even considering the sheer amount of RESEARCH PUT INTO THIS?? christ almighty. i need everyone to pause right the fuck now and read this fic regardless of whether you ship bagginshield/gimleaf at all or not. i promise you, you will come out of this a changed man 😭

Okay I've seen some posts already about the current bird flu situation stating that the virus has an over 50% death rate. That information is wrong, and it's just unnecessary fear mongering that we really don't need right now.

According to the WHO, there's a case fatality rate (CFR) of 54%. A case fatality rate is simply the percentage of deaths out of the number of *confirmed* cases. Since January 1 2003 until November 2024 there were only 261 total cases recorded by the WHO in the entire world, and out of those cases, 142 were fatal. Notice the very small sample size and the fact that these are only confirmed cases. In most people, bird flu is indistinguishable from any other cold or flu or even asymptomatic, so they *wouldn't be tested*. There hasn't been a widespread testing initiative for bird flu yet, so we don't actually know the data of how many people *actually* have it. We only know the cases of people with infections that were severe and unique enough that doctors thought to test them specifically for bird flu. A case fatality rate is *not* a prognosis.

Bird flu *is* serious. And you definitely should be careful, especially if you make contact with wild or domestic outdoor birds (this means that if you have a chicken coop or dovecote or something similar, even if it's only a few outdoor birds, you need to be careful), but we really don't need to be fear-mongering and making people think that they have an over 50% chance of dying if they get it. Misinformation from all sides is bad.

Actual reports about the virus:

THE PANDEMIC INDUSTRY!

"The general director will be given much more discretion to declare a public health emergency & to maintain it without any mechanism that could stop him."

Covid is still a leading killer, the third-biggest in the US last year behind heart disease and cancer. Unlike with other common causes of death such as smoking and traffic accidents that led to safety laws, though, politicians aren’t pushing for ways to reduce the harm, such as mandated vaccinations or masking in closed spaces.

“The general desire in the world is to move beyond the pandemic and put Covid behind us, but we can’t put our heads in the sand,” said Ziyad Al-Aly, director of the Clinical Epidemiology Center at the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System in Missouri. “Covid still infects and kills a lot of people. We have the means to reduce that burden.”

[...]

Long Covid, estimated to affect around 10% of infected people, is considered one of the biggest post-pandemic medical challenges. The economic costs are also significant.

In the US, long Covid was estimated to cost around $50 billion a year in lost salaries as of late 2022. In the UK, the Institute for Fiscal Studies last year estimated that about one in 10 people with long Covid have to stop working as a result. The number of people with those symptoms, including brain fog, breathing difficulties and fatigue, are rising even as infections are decreasing.

It’s particularly scary for high-risk people, who’ve had to return to work and public spaces where masks are sparse and the dangers are invisible. A family wedding can still turn into a super-spreader event, and a flight can be catastrophic.
