Covid infections jump by half a million in UK, says ONS – BBC News (Me: But Boris not concerned…)
An estimated 2.3 million people or one in 30 has the virus – a rise of 32% on the week before.
The rise is being driven by two new fast-spreading sub-variants of Omicron – called BA.4 and BA.5.
People can be infected even if they’ve had Covid before, but jabs are helping to protect against serious illness.
Health officials are urging anyone over 75 who has not had a vaccine or booster in the past six months, to get one.

Avian Flu Diary: CDC Director Endorses ACIP Recommendation On High-Dose/Adjuvanted Flu Vaccines For Seniors
CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky, M.D., M.P.H., adopted the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) recommendation to preferentially recommend the use of specific flu vaccines for adults 65 years and older, including higher dose and adjuvanted flu vaccines. The preference applies to Fluzone High-Dose Quadrivalent, Flublok Quadrivalent and Fluad Quadrivalent flu vaccines.
While flu seasons vary in severity, during most seasons, people 65 years and older bear the greatest burden of severe flu disease, accounting for the majority of flu-related hospitalizations and deaths. Additionally, changes in the immune system with age mean that older adults often do not have as strong an immune response to vaccination as younger, healthy people. “Given their increased risk of flu-associated severe illness, hospitalization, and death, it’s important to use these potentially more effective vaccines in people 65 years and older,” said José R. Romero, M.D., Director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Additionally, data has shown that racial and ethnic health disparities exist in populations that receive a high-dose flu vaccine compared with standard-dose flu vaccines. “This recommendation could help reduce health disparities by making these vaccines more available to racial and ethnic minority groups,” said Dr. Romero.

About me- Sobre mim
Eu gosto do meu interior
Lugar de paz e tranquilidade pra mim.
Aqui me inspirei a escrever no início
Na verdade a vontade já existia em mim
Aqui só abri a janela e sorrir
Pensei e sai escrevendo
Horas lendo
Horas conversando
Horas entendendo
Horas vivendo
Horas sobrevivendo
Alguns dias vinha cheia de sentido
Outros sem juízo
Dos pensamentos
Dos excessos
Dos exageros
De viver uma vida agitada.
Aprendi aqui a sumir de mim
A interiorizar o que vejo
A interpretar os sons
A deduzir as cores
Os ventos que uivam e ecoam até mim
E assim aprendi a escutar e silenciar.
Aprendi a conhecer as falas dos animais
Os encontros dos pássaros
As galinhas que visitam
As folhas das árvores quando se batem
Os sons dos bichos que não se vê na natureza
A bela sintonia que a mata traz.
Aprendi aqui no lugar onde criança cresci
Busco fazer…
