Because of the parents' refusal to vaccinate, a measles epidemic began in Prague

2018-04-16T06:56:00.002-07:00

Since the beginning of this year in the Czech Republic almost 70 people have become infected with measles, most of them are children. In Prague, the epidemic was declared.

Because of the parents' refusal to vaccinate, a measles epidemic began in Prague
This year, about 70 patients with measles were registered in the Czech Republic. In the first three months of last year, the number of measles infections was only 38. According to the doctors' forecasts, the incidence of measles will grow even more in the coming days.

Since March in Prague, where more than 60% of patients with measles have been registered, have declared an epidemic. More than half of the infected are children. Doctors say that one of the reasons for this spread of measles was the refusal of many parents to vaccinate children.

The number of patients with measles is growing throughout the Czech Republic. In Prague, already infected 48 people.

"We expect a further surge in measles infection. Several patients with suspicion of measles have already been hospitalized, at the moment there is a laboratory confirmation of this infection, "said the spokesman of the Prague Sanitary and Epidemiological Station Zbinek Boublik.

In recent years, more and more parents have refused to vaccinate children from measles. According to doctors, the reason for this was the myth that a vaccine against measles can cause autism and other health problems. However, this statement was officially recognized as erroneous.

For children, measles is the greatest danger.

"It has been proven that children who have had measles before the age of 5 are most often affected by complications. They are threatened with brain inflammation (encephalitis) and other serious diseases that can lead to death, "- said the chairman of the Professional Organization of Practicing Children's Doctors Anna Shebkova.

Yes, it's an RS6 with two chicks inside. The car was doing at least 140kph and it makes me wondering, how is it possible to hold the wheel with one thumb. Well. seems like CharlieSheeny tried to find the answer but failed: "I just got kicked out of the library, apparently putting the books "womens rights" into the fiction section isn't allowed.."

Porsche 911 Targa

By MICK RUD

Absolutely stunning red 911 with a glass roof. They guy spent his money wisely and we are glad there is a real car on the roads, instead of another GL or Q7 nonsense. One thing is interesting though, why a typical Porsche, Ferrari or Maserati driver is bold, fat and wearing pink shirt on the shirt with some text and signs on it?

Another test video, showing the busy intersection near Pankrac tube station and Arkady shopping center. There used to be a big farmer's market here. Now, it's another white cubic mall with food court and glass windows.

Here is a short test video, time lapse actually, more of those to come. One of the features is the Praha hlavní nádraží (English: Prague main railway station, abbreviated Praha hl.n), the largest and most important railway station in Prague and in the Czech Republic. It was originally opened in 1871 and named Franz Joseph I after Franz Joseph I of Austria.

Tuned Mercedes Benz R-class

By MICK RUD

Honestly, I don't blame them. Maybe it were the french rebels, who were confused and chose german car instead of french one, but this is weird, cause french cars are mostly nice to look at, and this, well, is rather ugly huge van with a base from an SUV. I kinda like the matt effect on the head lamps. Some people pay money for that.

Spring is here!

Spring is finally here. We would like the news to spread. There were some problems with the plastic materials supply, but, finally, after long negotiation, it's here in the city. Hopefully, it will be getting warmer every day.

Audi A5 Coupé

2011-03-20T11:08:00.000-07:00

By MICK RUD

Some people say the A5 looks dull, well, it is. On the other hand, you can get an all-wheel drive car, with an almost 250 bhp engine, very well built car, the one, that will probably last a very long time. It will start every day, the mirrors won't fall off when you let your sister park it in the garage and the head lamps weirdly turn off and on when you go through corners. Of course, it is ridiculously expensive, just getting a new tire will cost you around 500 USD (if you still decided to let your mum drive to the shopping mall). And if you want an S letter written on the side, well, you are going to pay a lot too. The most weird thing about this car is, apparently, there is a huge demand for it, and even though ze germans don't eat, don't sleep and don't read manuals, they still can't produce enough of them. Maybe the oil prices will help the situation.
