After Mexican president tests positive for 3rd time with COVID, what do we know about reinfection?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not provide reinfection data but state-level data paints a varied picture. Yahoo

Opinion: Small vaccine stockpiles can stop outbreaks of infectious disease from becoming big

Mon, 2023-04-24 18:36 — mike kraft
How small vaccine stockpiles can stop outbreaks of infectious disease from becoming big If we can’t get this right for known diseases like Marburg, what hope do we have for unknown pandemic threats? Torie Bosch STAT

...while fast-tracking candidate vaccines represents a positive step forward in the race to stop these outbreaks and to improve global health security, it raises an important question. If vaccine candidates already existed for both of these viruses before the outbreaks began, then why weren’t investigational stockpiles of vaccine ready to go when the first cases were detected?

12.7 million children in Africa missed vaccinations--UNICEF

Fri, 2023-04-21 18:40 — mike kraft
UNICEF: 12.7 million children in Africa missed vaccinations A new report from UNICEF says nearly 13 million children missed one or more vaccinations in Africa between 2019 and 2021 because of the disruptive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation has left the continent vulnerable to even more outbreaks of disease and facing a “child survival crisis." The report released Thursday confirms there was a global “backslide” in childhood immunization over those three years. That's the worst regression for childhood vaccinations in 30 years. Africa has the highest number of unvaccinated and under-vaccinated children.

World's 2022 weather problems reached record levels--UN weather agency

Fri, 2023-04-21 11:04 — mike kraft
UN's weather agency: 2022 was nasty, deadly, costly and hot Looking back at 2022’s weather with months of analysis, the World Meteorological Organization says last year really was as bad as it seemed when people were muddling through it. The United Nations' climate agency in a Friday report says killer floods, droughts and heat waves hit around the world, costing many billions of dollars. Global ocean heat and acidity levels hit record highs and Antarctic sea ice and European Alps glaciers reached record low amounts. Last year was the fifth or sixth hottest depending on measuring techniques.
