Hel avdelning med födande på Östra sjukhuset i Göteborg har covid

En hel förlossningsavdelning på Östra sjukhuset har fyllts med enbart covidsmittade blivande mammor. 11 kvinnor har testats positivt för covid-19. Det är den högsta siffran under hela pandemin....

I don't know who needs to hear this but to be in a slightly better situation than this time last year when nobody was vaccinated isn't a cause for celebration, it's a cause for concern.

One more thing (and I have no ties to 3M!) But get yourself an Aura mask & reuse it until it breaks! It's the most comfortable durable mask I've used by far & it's true value for your money compared to all other respirators! This is my 2cents!

As a neurosurgeon I confirm that we're seeing an uptick in doctors participating in rumour spreading, misinformation & grifting since the covid pandemic! Most strikingly, in mid career men! Most believe in several causes but nr 1 cause is underlying personality disorders.

@MarcBonten @P_Bruijning I'm trying to understand how this is so hard to understand. Covid & many other respiratory infections are airborne. People get infected by BREATHING in infectious particles from an infected person. Why are we doctors so thick when it comes to science?
