"I think it's known as HMPV. It's been around since 2021 and it's quite common. " HMPV isn't flu or covid as I understand it. It is adding to the problems the NHS is currently experiencing though. | |||

"I dont think it will be one, have you heard the latest about it? Apparently there is a new virus in china and they are facing a new crisis. Hong kong is on high alert as china grapples with hmpv, it is an respiratory virus that spreads from mainland china and it resemble common symptoms like cold and influenza, hmpv stands for the human metapneumovirus, they say that this situation arises after the onset of the covid pandemic. They are monitoring the situation and who has not declared it a global health emergency yet. What is your view about it and do you think that this is the next pandemic they are talking about?" it’s not a new virus. It happens every year. | |||

" You're just nit picking now. There's a new vending machine in the waiting room at our local hospital.
Is there space for one patient underneath and one on top ?"Yes and you look at a list of symptoms, put your money in, press the appropriate number and out pops a diagnosis and two paracetamol, sometimes a home plastering kit for broken limbs. | |||

Hospitals busy because hospital planners seem to love cutting beds when they build new hospitals and also we’ve had a net influx of over 2 million people in the last 2 years…. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out both of those things will put huge pressure on the healthcare system!" Hospital planners don't cut beds for the fun of it. They cut beds when they don't have enough staff to man the wards safely, you can blame the government and nhs underfunding for that. | |||

"We currently have a Flu Pandemic which is overwhelming our hospitals" It's interesting the word overwhelming. And the spread of its use like a virus. Whta is the capacity of our hospitals and how many of those spaces are taken up with customers with flu? It may be the case. But it may that a few weeks ago when someone posted the same, there were 2000 people in hospitals withe flu / respiratory illnesses. I'd like to hope our health service is not overwhelmed if 2000 people are ill. | |||

NHS have been obsessed with a clinical and management pivot towards reducing the amount of time patients spend in hospital. Flow is what matters - and the better clinical outcomes delivered by getting people out of hospital quicker demand more emphasis on day cases, and less emphasis on bed spaces. That means in turn less staff on night duty, and simpler less well appointed wards which are ideal for turning round day cases but no use for doing longer term care with older people with, for instance, respiratory complaints. | |||

"Who knows if we are or not. However, I suspect they won't have control of the people if they do try and lockdown now. People are wise to it, we were all locked down and government ministers were all partying and having it off with one another. I believe the vast majority of people would just ignore a lockdown now. " My Tin foil hat wearing friend said way back at the start of lockdowns. This pandemic is fake, the lockdown is to 1. See who will comply and 2. To make everyone annoyed so they won't comply when the next pandemic hits as that one will be real. They have theories upon theories.. | |||

Possibly, who really knows.? Without any facts people are just repeating the same shite they do about the last covid one. People double down without any substantive evidence at all. Media stoke it up with emotive language and agenda led story telling. We build hospitals presumably to treat and house people. Then when they treat and house people in winter. Which happens every year without fail we start panic mongering for some reason. Our health service is with a few exceptions shockingly bad. And then we are surprised when it provides a bad service. That aside. Let's hope there isn't another lurgy round the corner. We are not very good at coping with bad stuff. | |||

"It's winter, it's cold, people have colds, flu and chest infections, don't give the elite a chance to over react again, it's was bullshit last time and will be again if you fearful covidians start wearing your face muzzles again. i am wearing a mask in certain places as I have done every winter since covid. We were taught coughs and sneezes spread diseases as kids... so wearing a mask helps prevent that. we were also taught.. Get out in that mud and get some germs itll look after you when your older yeah but it makes sense to wear a mask when in close contact.. especially in medical settings. makes more sense to not get into close contact but sometimes thats not the case i get that, and if you want to wear a mask your choice 👍 I worked in health care during covid and travelled around Italy once we could. They were much stricter with mask wearing. No health exceptions.

"On a side note, there's still time to get the flu vaccine for this winter, to help to protect you and others for the rest of the flu season. " Absolutely. Vaccines save lives. If you are eligible make sure you get yours - protect yourself, protect your loved ones and your community. | |||

"The increase in flue cases is partly due to a decline in people TAKING THE VACCINE. So...if you are over 50 or vulnerable, get your flu shot ffs." Not only flu that has seen an increase in cases due to vaccine hesitancy. See also Measles, whooping cough and other preventable diseases. WHO estimated a decade ago that around 1.5 million children died globally each year due to reduced vaccination rates. Can only imagine that number will rise due to the conspiracy theorists spreading misinformation in the last few years. If you can get vaccinated. | |||

Trouble is, often the issue was caused by misinformation being spread by the health services, pharma, gov etc which has never really been addressed. They created the open door and allowed the conspiracies to kick it in. There certainly needs to be more effort put into rebuilding trust because as you say if there are folks who would benefit from an available vaccine it's good they are helped. If they choose not to, that should also be respected however. Not sure why some folks seem to feel they should force interventions on other people. Accurate, non sensational reporting would be a good place to start. But getting caught out by people getting winter illness in winter is not excusable. Further they will know how effective the flu vaccine is and how many folks have had it. | |||

"It's interesting also the myth of conspiracy theorists spoiling uptake of the flu vaccine. In 2015 the uptake was 71%.. In 2019 it was 72%..in 2023 it was 80%. Figures for 2024 obviously not yet available but seems the rates of uptake now are higher and yet we are overwhelmed than they were in 2015 when we weren't overwhelmed.

"The flu is the same rates as it it was 2 years ago. Hospitals busy because hospital planners seem to love cutting beds when they build new hospitals How many new hospitals have been built in the last two years ? Also how are beds being cut when new hospitals are built? Are they closing old ones and building smaller ones? Yep. The idea is primary care and community nursing take up the slack. However, this is impossible as one nurse can only travel to see one patient at a time (we do see couples fairly regularly). When we can time travel, we'll be able to do more community nursing is pushed to virtual, certainly for health visiters anyway, not sure how well you can get a feel for mother, baby and surroundings on a video call "But health visiting isn’t the same as community nursing, it’s public health nursing and they all have a variety of different nursing experiences. | |||

Let's say a man is COVID free and was hit by a car, and was doomed to die from his injuries. Someone who helps him, transfers the COVID bug to him, and a few days later he dies. On his death certificate, COVID would have been put down as a contributing factor. Why ? | |||

They also relate directly to the statement of "driven by a male in army recruitment age", which most would be safe to presume is insinuating that only men have fled Ukraine. The same men who should be in their own country on the front lines, if by some notion developed nations fight like it's trench warfare still (they don't) but still, it's barely any significance the age/sex/wealth someone has to be in another country, out the way of war. | |||

Of the total number of Ukrainian refugees, most are women and children. Of the total number of male Ukrainian refugees, around 56% are between 18 and 64. I don't know how many of that 56% are of fighting age or how many drive expensive cars. | |||

Makes no sense re the numbers you posted. In what way? The whole thing is jumbled up, and doesn’t really relate correctly. Ok. I probably didn't explain it clearly. I quickly looked at statistics.

However I see many people purposely being obtuse if they don't agree. And it's not just fab or it's forums. That's the real pandemic though that's hurting everyone, not a respiratory virus, but the ability to be tolerant and understanding is rapidly declining. | |||

" How can you tell the nationality of people in cars? A good guess is Ukrainian number plate and flag. I have never seen a Ukrainian car in the UK No I haven't either. There's a competitively large Ukrainian refugee community around here but the ones who drive must be using UK plate cars I imagine you'd need to be fairly well off to import your car rather than getting on when you arrived. " I've seen Ukrainian plates/flags on car regs, but then I live in London and see allsorts, not just licorice either | |||

It was happening before the covid mullarkey, then we had about 3 weeks where we all tried really hard to help people out, and then all hell broke loose with people buying colossal amounts of toilet tissue and pasta while little old folks were left to go without...
