Kent Meningitis Outbreak: Update on Central Bacterial Strain https://t.co/hDkUDT153b

The magical “aerosol” vanishing trick is now complete 🪄 Bang smack in the middle of the Meningitis outbreak in England, the WHO decided that was the perfect time to take their Meningitis page offline for 4 days… …and now it’s back, the word “aerosol” has magically vanished!

@lorianebird @_CatintheHat @WHO Agree with you on all points and introduce one more: was this preparatory? A meningitis outbreak of a few thousand cases will have an economic impact in the tens to hundreds of billion dollars, proportionate to the accompanying panic of course.

@Carl1411c @MichaelRosenYes Meningicoccal meningitis and meningicoccal septicaemia are caused by the same bacteria. And you can have both at the same time. The UK outbreak is meningicoccal disease - both meningitis and sepsis. But media is calls it meningitis because that’s how people usually refer to it

@adandec Yeah they set up a specialist transport team bringing kids from across the southeast. Their mortality rates dropped by about 20% over the course of a few years.

I enjoyed talking with Simon Nadel from St Mary's, Paddington, where in 1992 a paeds ICU was created to deal with deadly meningitis cases from across south east of England. The teams work saw death rates fall and remains the standard of care today: https://t.co/LD8vNIuFtN

@cv_cev Just saw on bbc website that the B substrain involved in current outbreak has been identified and has been circulating for five years. But it didn't say if it was one of the substrains that men B vaccine would be effective against? Does anyone know?

We’re working on a Q&A about the MenB vaccine and want it to answer the questions that matter most to you. What would you like us to fact check or explain? Reply below and while we can’t respond to every message, we’ll use your suggestions to help shape the piece. Thank you!

This is horrific. Please NHS and government, look at the vaccination possibilities for Men B. Urgent. https://t.co/WeOo4MiTT0

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her. The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.
