NTERNET services and the Web are not the same thing. There’s more to the Net than the Web browser and Google relies on many people using the browser and nothing else.
About a week ago Google introduced “Gemini Pro” or “Gemini” and it seems likely it was intentional – the aim being to hijack the name of Gemini Protocol [1, 2, 3], primarily a way of bypassing the Google-controlled or Google-dominated Web.
Google has become very malcicious. Don’t trust today’s Google.
aving just repeatedly refreshed this page in pursuit of the latest numbers (usually due 9:30AM every Tuesday), I can finally see that in Week 48 the number of recorded deaths in England and Wales is 11,385.
Before COVID-19 (2014-2019 average) it was 10,164.
That’s an increase of 1221 (actual people!) or 12.01%.
In November (the end of the month) COVID-19 had already begun spreading worldwide, so the number of deaths in 2019 was 10,958. This means that an increase of a lot more than 12% can be measured by leaving out 2019.
‘ve just noticed a new video that explains a COVID-19 experience, including a lack of productivity.
My wife and I got it two months before him. This new video more or less echoes our experience, first with negative tests and a few uncomfortable things (nothing major).
Maybe 4+ years later the virus is less severe (smaller, milder strain).
‘ve checked the latest numbers released today (12 December 2023) by ONS, which almost every week publishes “[p]rovisional counts of the number of deaths registered in England and Wales, by age, sex and region, in the latest weeks for which data are available. Includes the most up-to-date figures available for deaths involving coronavirus (COVID-19).”
Before COVID-19 the mortality level for the country was a lot lower. With new numbers due soon (mortality), let’s consider what it looked like in 2014-2019, January until October (when COVID-19 is said to have broken out in China).
From January 4th until October 4th: 405,046 deaths across England and Wales.
This year, as per the latest figures from ONS, January 6th until October 6th: 449,555 deaths across England and Wales.
That’s almost 50,000 more deaths, with 2 more months left in the year.
One can imagine the surplus by year’s end will be around 55,000.
These are not mere statistics. They represent actual lives lost and devastated relatives.
I just want to thank the NHS for still persisting, despite the government’s attack on this invaluable public service (an attack whose goal to push privatised replacements).

Clusters of “undiagnosed pneumonia”
We expected a surge in respiratory disease this time of year, but what is happening in China is unusual.
? more than rebound
? community immune debt
Hospitals in Beijing and 500 miles northeast in Liaoning are 'overwhelmed with sick children' with unusual symptoms that include
Radio Free Asia reported
said that more than 3,500 cases of 'respiratory infection' had been admitted to the Beijing Children's Hospital at the start of October,.
1000 new cases per day

China has now included Mycoplasma pneumoniae as well as other known respiratory pathogens, like influenza, covid and RSV
Local reports
inflammation in the lungs
a high fever but no cough
Mycoplasma pneumoniae
It is among the most common causes of community-acquired pneumonia in school age children.
Generalized aches and pains
Fever usually ? 102°F, (38.9’C)
Cough – Usually nonproductive
Sore throat (nonexudative pharyngitis)
Headache/myalgias
Chills but not rigors
Nasal congestion with coryza
Earache
General malaisePneumonia develops in only 5-10% of persons who are infected.

Upsurge of respiratory illnesses among children-Northern China

The WHO requested information
Using International health regulationsLaboratory results and data
Recent trends in the spread of respiratory illnesses,
from China’s health authorities last week.
WHO said China’s health authorities have said rise in hospitalizations since October to known pathogens,
such as adenoviruses, influenza virus, and RSV,
(which tends to cause only mild, cold-like symptoms)
Common winter infections — as opposed to any new pathogens — are behind the spike in hospitalizations.

China’s first without COVID-19 restrictions since the pandemic began in 2020.
Mycoplasma pneumonia and RSV are known to affect children more than adults.
No changes in the disease presentation were reported by the Chinese health authorities.
Chinese authorities advised that, since mid-October, enhanced outpatient and inpatient surveillance has been implemented for respiratory illnesses
What is unusual, say epidemiologists, is the high prevalence of pneumonia in China.
UK, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) mostly drove spikes in illness.
November 2022, more hospitalized influenza in US
Main cause of pneumonia
Mycoplasma pneumoniae,
bacterium that infects the lungs.
Normally causes a milder ‘walking pneumonia’,
doesn’t require bed rest or hospitalization.
Medscape
Slow spread throughout households is common, with a mean incubation period of 20-23 days. Disease tends to not be seasonal, except for a slight increase in late summer and early fall.
However
Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections have very been common.
Teachers getting ill
Bacterial pneumonia is often secondary to viral infections,
Opportunistic infection
Studies show that resistance rates of Mycoplasma pneumoniae to macrolides in Beijing are between 70% and 90%
Erythromycin, clarithromycin, azithromycin,

(data up to 2012)
levofloxacin as a secondary choice
Working hypotheses
No evidence of a novel virus or bacterium
Probably dangerous mycoplasma antibiotic resistance
Possible bacterial infection after novel virus, but less likely
New pandemic not immanent due to slow household transmission
Slow spread of multiple antibiotic resistance spread of mycoplasmic pneumonia
Need to optimise immune function, nutrition, vitamin D, sleep, exercise, appropriate antigenic challenge and hygiene hypothesis
Upgrade innate immunity as per Professor Angus Dalgleish and Professor Robert Clancy
