(NEXSTAR) – As the U.S. continues to see high levels of three viral infections – COVID-19, influenza, and RSV – there’s growing concern over a bacteria that can cause serious illness, especially in children.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it’s tracking a “possible increase in invasive group A strep” among children.

At least 94 people in the United Kingdom, including 24 children, have died from complications caused by a strep A infection. “To my knowledge, we’ve never seen a peak like this at this time of year, at least not for decades,” microbiologist Shiranee Sriskandan at Imperial College London told Nature.

Everybody double mask up, hide under the bed, wet your pants and don't come out until you get the all clear from the local government. (S)

This is a result of the pandemic making all the kids stay home from schools. They never got exposed to the common germs of school age kids and now have no immunity for those germs...............

An outbreak of fear is forecast, with high tempers and runny mouths and dripping contempt for others who refuse to join the outbreak.

This is the new way to attempt to control people worldwide......using fear of disease......because it worked so well during covid.

Now being used as an excuse to close any public gathering place the government doesn’t like or wants control of.....schools, churches, restaurants you name it.

Maybe you’ll get lucky and it will be hoof and mother disease... Really? Who cares. People get sick, people die... It happens every day... And freaking out about it, whining about and over-reacting to it won’t help at all... The healthcare system needs to suck it up and figure it out... Their job is dealing with sick people... Who cares what the sickness is.

Our society is turning into a combo of cowardice and tyranny...

It is estimated that perhaps 500-1000 Americans died from fentanyl in any given month.

And I’m not even going to go into medical mistake deaths.

But yes: Let’s keep gaslighting the narrative important to those in control. /s

The Epistle read today in the Orthodox Church has a much to say about this:

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage.

Hebrews 2

The strep outbreak is more dangerous to me than the covid pandemic was.. I had rheumatic fever as a child and am prone to endocarditis if exposed to strep.

I keep a fresh supply of antibiotics at hand just in case. I have a pharmacy pak of 500 of the amoxicillin-500mg currently. And it’s a good thing I have them as there is a shortage of amoxy currently.
