  • Here is the entire article (not kidding):

    "A meningitis outbreak has killed 20 students in northern Nigeria, local media reported Wednesday (Feb. 28).

    The death toll which remains provisional was announced by the Yobe state Education commissioner.

    The outbreak has been recorded in some secondary schools in the state.

    Over a hundred cases have allegedly been reported with three patients said to still be in an intensive care unit responding to treatment.

    Meningitis is an infection which causes an acute inflammation of the outer layers of the brain and spinal cord. It can be life-threatening unless diagnosed and treated early.

    Transmission is through direct person-to-person contact, including droplets from the nose and throat of infected people.

    The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention shared Wednesday (Feb. 28) on its X account (formerly twitter) a meningitis vigilance map.

    Indeed, weather conditions can favour prevalence of meningitis.

    Most of cases in the country are reported across states in the northern region.

    According to the WHO, the west African nation reported 124 deaths from meningitis between 1 October 2022 and 16 April 2023."

    It doesn’t even say which version it is, viral or bacterial.




  • even if I just slightly feel like one dislikes me a little

    This line stuck out to me because of what I’m currently working through. I have no idea if we share this issue, so please take this with a grain of salt. Is it possible you struggle with people pleasing? If you perceive yourself to only have value when others are pleased with you, someone being displeased with you hits like a freight train. When someone gets mad at me on the road, even if it’s not my fault, I can’t stop thinking about it for MONTHS. It made me cry a lot as a boy. I don’t think this accounts for all of what you’re talking about, but it could be a piece of it.
