Thanks again for keeping up with the info. One thing continues to puzzle me. Why does England, not test the wastewater, as they do in Scotland and a number of other countries? I would have thought it would be reasonably quick test?

Because Boris Johnson declared the pandemic "over" in England in March 2022, and testing wastewater costs money. And the current government are terrified of mentioning two things: COVID and Brexit, so won't restart it. Plus Rachel Reeves wouldn't allow any money to be spent on it anyway.

HMPV is closely related to RSV.

Not really. They have different effects on the heart. And in uk rsv is at a low level but hmpv is spiking upwards rapidly.

Bob, have you seen this paper? It seems to suggest the covid shot don't seem to work anymore. If true, it may be the Big Pharma companies deliberately made it so to keep earning profit.

There is a news story from Duetsche Welle about a mysterious infection that has infected 400 people in the DRC and over 40 of them have died.

And some children eat a bat.

Can I suggest you reunite the SAGE team for a video, so that we know what the steps are between the current situation and the situation where everyone is panicking and the entire world is freaking out.

Any idea why HMPV seems quite high this year and would there be a vaccine for it? Recently the UK adopted RSV vaccine.
