https://www.afinalwarning.com/507690.html (Natural News) Health authorities in the state of Washington are now observing 23 people for the Ebola virus. The 23 travelers are from the West African countries of Guinea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where there are current outbreaks of the disease. However, state health officials are reassuring Washington residents that there is a “very low” risk of contracting Ebola on American soil.
The
Washington State Department of Health (Washington DOH) said in a March 25 statement that the 23 people will be monitored for roughly 21 days after they arrive in the U.S. “The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued an order requiring airlines to collect … contact information for passengers who were in [the two West African countries],” it added.
Sexually transmitted infections increasing in the military 6 days ago Service members attend a briefing on sexually transmitted infections April 5, 2019, at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. (Airman 1st Class Alexi Myrick/Air Force) Cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis have increased significantly across the military over the past eight years, a study found. Black service members, women, and enlisted personnel with lower levels of education are most at risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections, according to the study published in the March edition of the Medical Surveillance Monthly Report, a peer-reviewed military health journal. The study analyzed administrative data and reports from all four branches of the military to provide a comprehensive picture of STIs between 2012 and 2020, using medical and diagnostic codes to identify instances of the five most common STIs chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes and human papillomavirus, or HPV.
The CDC guidelines for social distancing in schools are based on distorted science: neither three feet nor six feet distancing is safe
Back in September 2020,
Politico wrote on the issue of schools and infection rates: “The data on how coronavirus is spreading at schools and colleges is inconsistent, erratic and sometimes purposely kept out of the public’s reach.”
It has been stated repeatedly and proven on numerous occasions that children are more likely than adults to display little or no symptoms, while being capable of infecting others, including their relatives and families. More recent studies have identified schools and students attending them as contributing to community transmissions.
K-12 schools and colleges were the sites of one-quarter of new COVID-19 outbreaks over the past week and a half, and also home to nearly one-third of all active outbreaks, according to El Paso County data.
An outbreak at Discovery Canyon Campus, a K-12 school in District 20, was reported by El Paso County Public Health on March 24, involving eight cases. An outbreak at the dining hall at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs was reported by the county health department on March 27, involving two cases. Six additional outbreaks were reported since March 24.
Schools are the third most common site of COVID-19 cases stemming from outbreaks in the county. Positives stemming from school and college outbreaks comprise more than 5% of cases at active outbreak sites in the county, second only to the jail home to more than half of cases and offices and indoor workspaces, home to more than 14% of cases, county data shows.
