"Almost 10,000 deaths from COVID-19 were reported to WHO in December, mostly in Europe and US, and there was a 42% increase in hospitalizations and a 62% increase in [intensive care unit] admissions, compared with November," said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general at the World Health Organization.

It's already active in Denmark, we've been ill in my household since early December, one at the time. I think we've had Covid & the flu, just RS left for us I guess :D

Maybe I will be lucky and finally die. I am so tired of everything…

The Universe: “Best I can do is give you long Covid and make the rest of your life even more miserable.”

or: maybe we fight the few that make everything so miserable. It‘s just a few, right?!

Is it? How many people are voting right wing in the EU right now? Doesn't seem like a few.

I'm vaccinated against 2/3 💪

This has been going for a while here in the Netherlands. I barely know anyone who hasn't at least had a cold somewhere between mid November and now. I've had either Influenza or RSV and it got me quite good tbh. Unfortunately I couldn't get any vaccinations because I'm not in a risk group. Wouldn't mind taking a jab or two to skip a week of being ill, as well as potential after effects.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The disease's impact on the health care system is compounded by an increasing number of cases of  coronavirus and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV.

Other parts of the continent, including Germany and the United Kingdom, have observed a spike in cases of the three diseases — COVID, RSV and flu — in recent weeks.

"Following relatively low respiratory illness activity over the summer period, consultation rates increased in primary care settings from September," it said in a press release in December.

The rates of severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) cases presenting to secondary care were at a level comparable to the same time last year and are now notably increasing in some countries.

Ten countries in Europe, including Italy and Spain, reported seasonal influenza activity above the 10% positivity testing rates in sentinel primary care.

The Italian National Institute of Health has estimated that around 2 million people were infected with COVID, RSV or influenza in the last two weeks of 2023.


The original article contains 582 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I just came back from that area and there were so many people coughing there. I got home sick with what I thought was bronchitis and it's not going away
