WHO says meningococcal disease is airborne. It's pretty clear now that all droplets are generated with aerosols, and everything we mistook as physics-defying droplet transmission is actually aerosol transmission. #MaskUp #CleanTheAir www.who.int/teams/health...
Meningococcus is transmitted by aerosol or direct contact with respiratory secretions of patients or healthy human carriers. As a rule, endemic disease occurs primarily in children and adolescents, with highest attack rates in infants aged 3-12 months, whereas in epidemics older children and young adults may be more involved. Nasopharyngeal carriage of meningococci is most common among adolescents and young adults, less so among young children and relatively rare in adult populations. Transient nasopharyngeal carriage rather than disease is the normal outcome of meningococcal colonization.

Symptom Spotlight
Post-exertional malaise: not just tired
https://mecfssa.org.au/resources/post-exertional-malaise-pem
• Key Symptom of ME/CFS: Post-Exertional Malaise
• Post-exertional malaise (PEM) or post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion (PENE)
is a pathological loss of energy and worsening of symptoms following minimal
physical, mental or emotional effort, or other triggers. The onset of PEM may be
immediate or delayed by several hours or days. Recovery is prolonged and may
take days, weeks or months.
• When people with ME/CFS push themselves to use more than their available
energy reserves, the loss in
functional capacity is inevitable
and cannot be reversed by a
long rest or a good night's
sleep.
People often struggle to describe
this loss of energy, weakness and
exacerbation of symptoms. They
may use words like crash,
payback, debilitating exhaustion.

The original synbiotic contained inulin. If we set inulin as the 'standard' intervention, we find that a individually-tailored prebiotic intervention almost always performs better than the standard, in terms of SCFA production.
Figure 6. Personalized treatments outperform standard of care. For both SCFAs, an optimal prebiotic and/or probiotic treatment combination was selected and compared against a standard treatment, which consisted of inulin and the 5-strain probiotic cocktail. In both cases, the individual-specific optimal treatment showed significantly higher levels of production. Significance determined by Mann-Whitney U-test, *** = p<0.001.
