In the uk, the vast majority of cases were in men who have sex with men, with infections peaking injuly. but a vaccination programme helped bring case numbers down. what do we want? fair pay! and as the year drew to a close across the uk, the health service faced industrial action over pay. ambulance crews, porters, cleaners and the biggest ever strike by nursing staff. im striking for the future of nursing and most importantly, our patients. and the turmoil that gripped uk politics in 2022 had ...

A unanimous vote from the Johnson County Commission on Dec. 15 will provide money for more mental health case managers and two new case management teams.

Professor anne rimoin from ucla fielding school of public health told me why she was concerned about chinas recent surge in covid cases. i think the issue here is that we dont have a lot of data coming out of china right now. we dont have case counts, we dont have good mortality data, and we certainly dont have good sequencing data that could tell us a lot about what variants are circulating and what we could expect. i think the idea of requiring testing, which will allow us to have an idea of w...

But in reality, these measures are very unlikely to have any significant impact in reducing risk. so i think these are more about public relations and perhaps a bit about foreign policy than about public health. interesting, because most people watching im sure will be looking at the increase in case numbers in china and wont want to see that kind of numbers and potential variants being imported into the country. it seemed to make common sense, are you suggesting the evidence from what we know o...

We dont have good mortality data, and we certainly dont have good sequencing data that could tell us a lot about what variants are circulating and what we could expect. i think the idea of requiring testing, which will allow us to have an idea of what is happening and be able to follow the sequencing and the data, will be a smart move. what is the major concern? is it that there are really high numbers, case numbers, in china? is it new variants? what exactly is the real area of concern here? ev...
