According to an excellent explanation from #TACT the wave of mystery pneumonias follows in time and space any wave of #pirola aka the #BA286 family.
In particular the most infectious variant to date, #JN1 "with extreme immune evasion and suppression". In other words, this is the variant most likely to induce #immunodeficiency.
Anything that can cause "secondary" pneumonia is on the list, particularly in children and the elderly whose immune systems are already weakened.
⚠️ At the end of the article, there is a warning that adults will be the next to be affected, in the coming weeks.

Over the last decade, the #Philippines has witnessed an alarming #surge in #HIVcases & has gained #notoriety as the country with the fastest-growing human #immunodeficiency #virus (#HIV) #epidemic in the #AsiaPacific region.

The #stigma associated with HIV/ #AIDS remains a significant #barrier to testing, treatment & support, preventing many individuals from seeking timely #medical assistance.

New research combining computer modeling and experiments with macaques shows the body’s #immune system helps control human #immunodeficiency virus (HIV) #infections largely by suppressing viral production in already infected cells while also killing #viral infected cells

Immunodeficiency in humans is not good.

Wearing masks, improving ventilation, avoiding crowds and getting fully vaccinated and boosted can help avoid it and keep your immune system healthier.
