It is arguably the most compelling evidence thus far that the IDF has offered that there may be a network of tunnels below the hospital. It does not establish without a doubt that there is a command center under Gaza’s largest hospital, but it is clear that there is a tunnel down below. Seeing what connects to that tunnel is absolutely critical.

This study confirms the considerable health burden of infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the EU/EEA. It also highlights the increasing burden of these infections, with an exception in 2020 when the overall burden was estimated to decrease. Changes in annual burden estimates can be affected by changes in surveillance, or changes in healthcare practices, such as in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic put pressure on all health services in EU/EEA countries. Part of the decrease in 2020 can also be explained by measures taken to control the spread of COVID-19, including changes in infection prevention and control, and changes in the patient mix in hospitals due to the different hospitalisation practice during the pandemic.

Viruses can prey on other viruses to replicate themselves and may hold the key to new antiviral therapies.
South China Morning Post: China has beaten a global deadline, launching the world’s first next-generation internet service – more than 10 times faster than existing major routes – two years ahead of industry predictions.
The backbone network – so called because it forms a principal data route between cities – can transmit data at 1.2 terabits (1,200 gigabits) per second between Beijing in the north, central China’s Wuhan and Guangzhou in the southern province of Guangdong.
Most of the world’s internet backbone networks operate at just 100 gigabits per second. Even the United States only recently completed the transition to its fifth-generation Internet2 at 400 gigabits per second.
