Quite the logical leap there PS. One child from India dies from a common bacterial infection two months after arriving in Dublin, but somehow that can be linked to the rise of a viral disease transmitted primarily through unprotected, indiscriminate sexual behaviour and i-v drug use, which coincides with the arrival of a greater-than-previous number of people from Africa.PlaneSpeeking wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 5:07 pmthe rising numbers of HIV cases that are in Ireland - a spike that exactly corresponds with higher numbers of people from Africa.
Funny that you should draw that conclusion, rather than think it might have something to do with the current increase in Strep A infections being reported across Ireland, Britain and France and tentatively linked to the lack of "healthy" cross-contamination due to Covid lockdown policies.
The observed increases reported to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and WHO Regional Office for Europe and have followed a period of reduced incidence of Group A Streptococcus infections observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is likely that the increase in iGAS cases in children is also associated with the recent increased circulation of respiratory viruses, including seasonal influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), as coinfection of viruses with Group A Streptococcus may increase the risk of invasive disease (iGAS).
