“The only other virus that attacks and kills T-cells is HIV, which causes AIDS, said Katzenback.”
Maybe repeatedly infecting our kids with SARSCoV2 wasn’t such a great idea?
Guess we’ll find out.

“With the loss of these T-cells, we are now more vulnerable to all of these other infections, other viruses, other bacteria,” said Katzenback.

“Individuals who are infected with COVID have many fewer T-cells,” said Katzenback. “That’s a problem for us because T-cells are a really important part of our immune system that helps defend us against infection.”
The death of every child is an enormous tragedy.
In 2021:
♦️ 5 million children died before their 5th birthday
♦️ 2.1 million older children & young people lost their lives
That’s 1 loss every 4.4 seconds!
Most of these deaths were preventable with access to quality healthcare

Some good news…
Globally, since 2000:
↘️ The under-five mortality rate fell by 50%
↘️ Mortality rates in older children & youth dropped by 36%
↘️ Stillbirth rates decreased by 35%
However, gains have reduced significantly since 2010.

Where you are born dramatically shapes your chances of surviving into childhood.
Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia are shouldering the heaviest burdens of stillbirths and child deaths.

1. Sorry, no time to do English subtitles, but here is a summary of what this girl in #Beijing says: On Dec 17, My dad was very sick. We went to 3 hospitals to no avail. 1st hospital is Chaoyang Hospital. Minimum waiting time 4 hours. We had to go to 2nd one, Huayin Hospital.
2. During the time my dad got an infusion there, 6 died. But they didn't have a bed. We returned, & tried to find a hospital that still had a bed. I went to Huayin in the night again to buy medicine. I saw several elderly ppl waiting. But I am afraid they will die before
3. they can enter the hospital. I then went to Civil Aviation Hospital. They ran out of oxygen already. A doctor said, your dad's illness is serious. We don't have a bed. You can go inside to check. You even don't have a place to stand there, let alone a bed. Go to

#Cough 🫁🌬️ is important for ejecting foods and liquids from the #lungs to prevent #asphyxiation and #aspiration #pneumonia. In this tutorial, we will discuss why and how to assess voluntary #cough as a way to enhance your clinical #swallow evaluation. (Warning: long thread!)
Evaluating #cough is important three reasons. First, weak coughs (#dystussia) are associated with #dysphagia and #aspiration in many patient populations. Therefore, assessing cough can improve the accuracy of predicting and identifying someone with #dysphagia.
Second, assessing #cough provides a more holistic understanding of #airway protection. In other words, we should try to understand how well a patient with #dysphagia can clear #aspirate material from the airway, in addition to understanding how frequently/severely they aspirate.
Some "conspiracists" always get it right!

They modelled 3 scenarios:
1. Worse case:
- mask usage stays at current rates, and,
- governments continue relaxing social distancing requirements.
This leads to 4.0 million total deaths by the end of the year.
1. Worse case:
- mask usage stays at current rates, and,
- governments continue relaxing social distancing requirements.
This leads to 4.0 million total deaths by the end of the year.
Best case:
- mask usage is near-universal, and,
- governments impose social distancing requirements when their daily death rate exceeds 8 per million.
This leads to 2.0 million total deaths if by the end of the year.
