#ÚltimaHora 🔴 Agricultura asegura que España está en "alerta" por el virus shamonda pero pide "calma" elmundo.es/salud/2026/10/22/…
🔴 Muere en Francia un hombre infectado por el virus Shamonda, en el primer caso conocido en un ser humano. Afecta principalmente a animales de granja y ha sido detectado desde el verano en varios países europeos, entre ellos España elpais.com/sociedad/2026-10-…

🚨🇫🇷 BREAKING:
France has confirmed the world’s FIRST known human infection with the Shamonda virus...
The patient has died.
It was previously believed to only affect animals.
First identified in Nigeria in the 1960s, it spreads through tiny biting insects called midges and has been circulating among European livestock throughout 2026.
Now it has jumped to a human for the first time in recorded history...
French authorities say there is currently no evidence of widespread human transmission and no identified risk to the general population.
For now.

Increased risk for long COVID associated with autoimmune rheumatic diseases
"These findings highlight the need for targeted monitoring and further investigation into mechanisms & prevention strategies for long COVID in patients with autoimmune diseases"

Happy 4-year anniversary to this study.
This applies to everyone who gets Covid.

FYI, "It is estimated that at least 400 million individuals worldwide currently suffer from long COVID.
Common symptoms [of long COVID] include chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog or exercise-intolerance..
[Furthermore,] acute infections can contribute to the development of new chronic diseases, including cancer..
Large cohort studies have shown increased post-acute risks of chronic conditions including new onset of diabetes and autoimmunity development after SARS-CoV-2 infection..
elevated cardiovascular risk can persist for months..
even acute, non-persistent infections can influence cancer biology..
For instance, prior severe respiratory viral infection with SARS-CoV-2 or influenza was linked to accelerated lung cancer growth in mouse models and increased subsequent lung cancer risk among patients hospitalized for COVID-19.."

Est ratio es de locos.
Uno de cada 8 belgas se encuentra actualmente infectado de Covid.
UPDATE: Suspected COVID-19 in the general BELGIUM population( Oct 14th, 2026)
🚨Roughly 1 in 8 Belgians could have COVID-19!
Source: Infectieradar.be
The incidence of participants with COVID-19-like symptoms increased from 110 →128 per 1,000 participants and we also know PCR/RAT testing is very unpopular!
Quick reference scaling:
• Per 1,000 people: 128 cases
• Per 100,000 people: 12,800 cases
• Percentage of population: 12.8%
➡️Estimated possible Covid-19 cases in Belgium: 1,520,000( That’s 1 in 8)!
This graph shows the number of participants per 1,000 with COVID-19-like symptoms over time, knowing that wastewater FLU/RSV levels are very low/non-existing!

Loads of people are looking around at the health problems caused by covid infections and saying "what on earth could be causing all these problems? why are so many people's brains messed up? why is everyone sick all the time? why are there all these autoimmune disorders??"

Cuidado, no es por alarmar, pero atentos porque son varios los tweets que he leído ya que afirman que lo que ha pasado en Rusia no es por peste neumónica sino por una neumonía letal “de origen desconocido”.
Recemos porque no sea así. 🙏
Replying to @Parsifaler
It doesn't seem that a test tube was broken and it is not clear that this was "The Plague" (Yersinia Pestis). Stay tuned. It may be that no one else gets sick, or maybe so. It's not clear just what this is.

FYI, "Most people who die of COVID-19, seasonal flu, or a bacterial infection technically die of sepsis – their organs shut down under the weight of the body's own runaway inflammatory response..
In-hospital sepsis mortality [in the US] rose 37.5% among patients 65 and older, and 44% among adults 18–64, between 2019 and 2021.
The steepest relative jump in sepsis mortality was among younger adults..
An estimated 36,000 sepsis deaths occurred in 2020 alone, beyond what pre-pandemic trends would have predicted..
Post-sepsis syndrome – lasting cognitive and physical effects seen in up to half of survivors – extends the true cost of pandemic-driven sepsis well beyond the initial hospitalisation, in much the same way long COVID has..
sepsis was formally coded in only about 9% of COVID deaths, while clinical and autopsy studies find sepsis present in 52–93% of those same deaths.
The official numbers understate the true toll – by the data's own admission."
Long COVID is similar to long sepsis.

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists have created a sugar-coated nanoparticle that blocks COVID-19 from infecting cells with 99% effectiveness in lab tests.
This isn't a vaccine. It's a decoy.
And it could change how we fight viruses forever.

🚨☣️BREAKING: Plague outbreak expands, Russia BSL-3 lab accident - FIVE hospitals now quarantined🚨☣️
The plague outbreak in Siberia, Russia has expanded w/5 hospitals now under QUARANTINE: Irkutsk Hospitals No. 1, No.3, No.10, Ivano-Matreninskaya Children's Hospital, and an unnamed maternity hospital (Lyudi Baikala news, Moscow Times).
Quarantine is NOT voluntary. Even in the U.S., quarantine is among the most extraordinary measures gov't can impose on American citizens who haven't been convicted, or even accused, of committing a crime. Quarantine means being forcibly confined and medically examined by law. U.S. quarantine can be imposed on anyone infected by a legally quarantinable disease listed below (this can change). One should assume Russia's quarantine protocols are even more severe. As of 2026, under Executive Order 14047, legally quarantinable diseases in the U.S. are:
■ Plague
■ Smallpox
■ Viral hemorrhagic fevers
■ Cholera
■ Diphtheria
■ Yellow fever
■ Infectious tuberculosis
■ Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)
■ Flu that can cause a pandemic
■ Measles
