Germs
Let's get the week started with some fear and anxiety... shall we?
Germs are everywhere I tell you... EVERYWHERE. The WHO and the CDC are back in the news with brand-new threats to distract us from Ukraine... which is no longer distracting us from raging inflation and spiraling crime and empty shelves.

Mysterious Hepatitis
The WHO announced on Friday (sorry, I'm a couple of days behind on this one) that they are investigating 74 cases of a mysterious strain of acute hepatitis in children under age 13. The cases have occurred in the UK, Northern Ireland and Alabama.
All common forms of hepatitis have been ruled out. Get ready to PANIC.

Mysterious Outbreak of Meningitis
The CDC is warning of a meningitis outbreak in Florida. There have been 21 cases so far this year. This "large, ongoing outbreak" is primarily among "gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men".
Not to make light of a potentially dangerous disease, but do 21 cases in a state of 22 Million really constitute a 'large' outbreak? Should we all PANIC?
The Florida Department of health says "Obviously that rings alarm bells with epidemiology and they want to start making sure that it’s known there’s a vaccine.."
YAY! Another vaccine. Get ready for more jabs!
