Increase In Fever And Respiratory Symptoms
The Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit [ESU] at the Ministry of Health advised of an “increase in reports of fever and respiratory symptoms [COVID-19, common cold, coronavirus [seasonal], human metapneumovirus, strep throat, RSV, influenza] in the community.”
A Government spokesperson said, “In particular, reports of influenza are noted to be at a high alert above normal levels in the community for this time of year. The ESU continues to monitor the occurrences of these illnesses closely and will update the public on new developments.”
“I strongly encourage the public to stay alert and adopt essential precautions given the recent surge in fever and respiratory illnesses,” said Minister of Health, Kim Wilson. “I also suggest that if you haven’t already, please get the flu shot. Annual flu vaccination is a straightforward and effective method to safeguard yourself and others from seasonal influenza. It lessens the likelihood of severe illness and helps curb the spread of the virus in our community.”
The Government spokesperson said, “To reduce the spread of influenza and other respiratory infections the following guidelines should be followed:
- All individuals 6 months of age and older are encouraged to be vaccinated against influenza each season.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home from work, school, or public places if you are having influenza-like symptoms.
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, especially with unwashed hands
- Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your upper sleeve or elbow. Throw tissues in the trash.
- Consider wearing a mask.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work, or school, for example, door knobs, telephones, and bathroom fixtures, especially when someone is ill.
- Practice other good health habits, such as getting plenty of sleep, being physically active, managing your stress, drinking plenty of fluids, and eating nutritious food.
“If you develop symptoms of an influenza-like illness, such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, and tiredness, you should consult your physician for advice. Some people are at higher risk of developing serious complications from the flu, especially those 65 years and older, people with certain chronic medical conditions like asthma, diabetes, and heart disease, pregnant women, and young children. It is particularly important to seek early medical advice if symptoms are severe.
“Members of the public who wish to receive influenza vaccinations should contact their physician’s office or call the Hamilton Health Centre Clinic, 67 Victoria Street at 444-0720.

WOW! How is the government going to spin those covid “vaccine” shots not working? Oh, right, the medical world redefined the meaning of “vaccine.” I wonder what Mr. Big thinks about the “increase in reports of fever and respiratory symptoms [COVID-19, common cold, coronavirus [seasonal], human metapneumovirus, strep throat, RSV, influenza] in the community.” Perhaps the increase is due to the human body not being as resilient as it was when it was made a test subject.
After all, Mr. Big was the first person to get the “vaccine” in Bermuda – and tested positive for covid-19 at least two times that we are aware of. How is his health?
