A high school teacher in Colorado died over the weekend after exhibiting "symptoms consistent with bacterial meningitis," according to her school district. When bacteria infect the membranes surrounding the spinal cord and brain, this disease is contagious.
Eaglecrest High School, where Maddie Schmidt worked as a teacher, canceled after-school activities and sports on Tuesday, as well as school and activities on Wednesday, to aid in contract tracing and "determine next steps," according to a letter sent to the school community and shared with TODAY.com.
Arapahoe County has only confirmed a single case of bacterial meningitis. A second educator in the school district died over the weekend, but it is unknown if the deaths are related, according to the local NBC affiliate 9News Denver.
We are working closely with Arapahoe County Public Health (ACPH) to identify students and staff who may have had close contact with the infected employee. Public Health in Arapahoe County will make direct contact with all staff members and families of students determined to be in close contact. "Preventative antibiotics will be administered to these individuals," the school district stated in its letter.A baby in Iowa dies of meningitis that was possibly transmitted through a kiss.
The Arapahoe County Health Department is "monitoring for exposure-related symptoms," according to a spokesperson for 9News. "It takes one to ten days for symptoms to appear, but in most cases they appear within three to four days."
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, bacterial meningitis is a "serious" bacterial infection in which the membranes protecting the brain and spinal cord become inflamed. In some cases, death occurs shortly after infection. However, the agency asserts that individuals can recover from it.Symptoms of bacterial meningitis consist of: Fever Headache Stiff neck Upset stomach Vomiting luminous sensibility Disorientation Bacterial meningitis can be transmitted through contact with an infected person's saliva or nasal or throat discharges. Infected individuals who do not yet exhibit symptoms may be contagious. After taking antibiotics for 24 hours, an infected individual is usually no longer contagious.Recommended Disease Her arm suddenly began to flail. According to doctors, it was her medication. It was Parkinson's disease.
According to the CDC, meningitis-causing bacteria spread easily in communal settings, which explains why outbreaks are common on college campuses. It is transmitted through kissing, coughing, sneezing, and the sharing of utensils, glasses, and living spaces.
Babies, the elderly, and those with specific medical conditions are more likely to contract bacterial meningitis. According to the CDC, if bacterial meningitis is left untreated, it can cause convulsions, comas, and death. Therefore, anyone who suspects they may have bacterial meningitis should seek medical attention immediately.
In 2018, Dr. Christina Johns, vice president of communication at PM Pediatrics, stated to TODAY.com, "It can be fatal." This is not something to be taken lightly.
Jesus speaks of the future In Luke chapter 21, Jesus speaks prophetically about the signs that would precede the end of the world. In Luke 21:11, Jesus says that one of those signs would be pestilences, “And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.” (The meaning of a pestilence, according to the Hebrew and Greek definitions, is a plague or disease.) Frequency and seriousness In the preceding prophetic Bible verses, Jesus was referring to the birth of a child. He was explaining that, just as a woman’s contractions or labor pains become more frequent and intense as the baby’s birth approaches, so will these events or signs become more frequent and intense as the world approaches Jesus’ second coming.

HNewsWire: Bird flu has caged Britain's flocks and caused a crisis in farming
In an attempt to prevent the latest outbreak of bird flu from spreading further, a government housing order came into force ten days ago across the whole of England.
The measures, which require all poultry and other captive birds to be kept indoors until further notice, were introduced in an attempt to prevent domestic birds from interacting with those in the wild where the disease is rife, particularly among seabirds.
Up-to-date statistics are hard to come by but the most recent numbers suggest that there are more than 120m broilers (chickens bred and raised specifically for meat production) in Britain, around 15m hens for livestock laying, and several million turkeys and ducks – plus another estimated 2.5m pet species. That is a lot of cooped-up birds.
Restrictions had previously only applied to what the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) described as “hot spot” areas of Norfolk, Suffolk and parts of Essex.
The severity of the latest crackdown shows how concerned the authorities are about the latest outbreak, which is reassuring.
It is the largest ever recorded, and the number of cases on commercial farms and among “backyard birds” has been rapidly escalating according to the chief veterinary officer, Christine Middlemiss.
Nevertheless, one can’t help but wonder if the potential impact is being somewhat underestimated or at least underplayed – certainly in terms of the possibility of it jumping to humans.
Remember too that while the exact source of the original outbreak has never been determined, the overwhelming scientific consensus is that it initially came from animals.
For the time being at least, there seems to be little fear about the prospect of this strain of bird flu suddenly spreading through the human population, but that’s not to say no prominent scientists are concerned about the possibility of that happening, and with good reason.
For a start, avian influenza is highly contagious. Nearly 4m birds have been culled in the UK this year as a result of Avian H5N1 outbreaks and the virus has swept alarmingly quickly through wild and farm bird populations. In Europe, numbers are the highest ever registered, and in America they are also approaching record levels.
In densely packed populations, the dreaded “R” number, which the general public became familiar with during Covid, can be as high as 100. That means one bird has the potential to infect as many as 100 others.
The mortality rate in humans is high too. The World Health Organization estimates that it is around 60pc, while the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, puts it closer to 50pc. The antiviral medicine oseltamivir can reduce the severity of illness and prevent death, but there is currently no vaccine.
What is reassuring is that transmission rates are low. The virus does not infect humans easily and person to person contagion “appears to be unusual”, the WHO states. Almost all cases of H5N1 infection in people have been among farm workers, or those who have been in close contact with infected birds.
There is also no evidence that the disease can be spread to people through the food chain, providing poultry has been both properly prepared and thoroughly cooked.
For now at least, the focus is very much on the environmental fallout, and the impact on Britain’s farming community. Farmers have warned about a possible shortage of Christmas turkeys as well as price rises. Eggs are suddenly in short supply too.
The elephant in the room, as with all diseases, is the potential for a mutation that allows it to spread rapidly, just as it did repeatedly with coronavirus.
As Doug Brown, chief executive of the British Society for Immunology, said earlier this week: “We have seen a variety of new diseases emerge that have jumped from animals to humans, which have had catastrophic consequences and cost many billions of pounds to tackle."
It’s not just bird flu either. The WHO has identified 16 infectious diseases it believes could cause a public health emergency, including the zoonotic Nipah virus found in Asia that jumps from animals to humans. But only six are the subject of pharmaceutical R&D projects.
It is an event we are again woefully ill-prepared for, according to a report from senior MPs this week, which revealed that Britain’s most important laboratory for dealing with animal diseases has fallen into a state of disrepair. The world cannot afford to be complacent about another deadly virus.
SRH: The Bible warns of terrible and frightening times in the End Times. Wars, fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, storms, tempests, hail, floods, famines, plagues and pestilence.
“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” – 2 Timothy 3:1
“ ‘and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes’ ” – Matthew 24:7
“ ‘When you hear of wars and rumours of wars do not be frightened’ ” – Mark 13:7
“ ‘and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven’ ” – Luke 21:11
“Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before Him, and around Him a tempest rages.” – Psalm 50:3
“ ‘For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now.’ ” – Mark 13:19
In His sermon on the Mount of Olives, the Lord Jesus forewarned of pestilence when He described the End Times, Luke 21:11 (see verse above).
Jesus said the pestilence will be like “birth pains” – Matthew 24:8 – meaning it will increase in frequency and intensity in the time leading up to His return. This means, as the end approaches, we should expect infectious disease outbreaks to occur more frequently, impact more people, and be more deadly.
Then throughout the seven year Tribulation period, pestilence will continue, right up to the Fall of Babylon:
The Two Witnesses: “These have the power … to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.” – Revelation 11:6 – see article: 2 Witnesses – Revelation 11
At the Fourth Seal: “… to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth” – Revelation 6:8
At the Fifth Trumpet: “A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which proceeded out of their mouths.” – Revelation 9:18
The Seven Angels with the Seven Plagues: “Then I saw another sign of heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels who had seven plagues, which are the last, because in them the wrath of God is finished.” – Revelation 15:1
The first bowl of God’s wrath: “So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and it became a loathsome and malignant sore on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.” – Revelation 16:2
The fourth bowl of God’s wrath: “Men were scorched with fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.” – Revelation 16:9
Babylon is Fallen: “For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.”- Revelation 18:8
“I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book.” – Revelation 22:18
History shows the widespread death and suffering caused by pandemics – plagues – pestilence.
A pandemic is an outbreak of an infectious disease of global proportions. The word pandemic comes from the Greek pandemos meaning ‘pertaining to all people’. The Greek word ‘pan’ means “all” and the Greek word ‘demos’ means “people”.
The death toll in a pandemic is generally higher than that in an epidemic.
The following is a short list of some of the past pandemics:
The Black Death, also called the Bubonic Plague, from 1347 to 1351, claimed between 75 to 200 million lives in Europe, Asia and Africa. It is considered the worst in history.
Before the Black Death, there was the Plague of Justinian, from 541-542, killing between 30 and 50 million people in the Eastern Roman Empire.
The Spanish Flu Pandemic, H1N1 virus, from 1918 to 1920, claimed between 20 to 50 million lives.
The Antonine Plague, in 165 AD, killed over five million people in Asia Minor, Egypt, Greece and Italy.
The Asian Flu (Influenza), H2N2 virus, in 1957, claimed two million.
The Third Cholera Pandemic, from 1852 – 1860, took one million lives.
Also claiming one million lives was the Flu Pandemic in 1968, caused by the H3N2 strain of the Influenza A virus.
There was the 2009 Flu Pandemic, also known as ‘swine flu’, also from the H1N1 virus. The CDC estimated that up to 575,000 people died worldwide.
HIV/AIDS has grown to pandemic proportions, with an estimated 25 million deaths worldwide.
In the Bible, pestilence is a sign of God’s judgment on a nation or people group or individual.
Some examples of God’s wrath of pestilence in the Old Testament due to sin are as follows:
Egypt:
“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Go to Pharaoh and speak to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, ‘Let My people go, that they may serve Me. For if you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them, behold, the hand of the Lord will come with a very severe pestilence on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks. But the Lord will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.’ … So the Lord did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died.” – Exodus 9:1-6. The plague of pestilence was the fifth of the ten plagues against Egypt.
“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and say to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, ‘Let My people go, that they may serve Me. For this time I will send all My plagues on you and your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth. For if by now I had put forth My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, you would then have been cut off from the earth. But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth.’ ” – Exodus 9:13-16. The remaining plagues ensued.
In recounting the plagues of Egypt when the tribe of Israel was enslaved there and Pharaoh refused to let them go, Psalm 78:49-50 states: “… He sent upon them His burning anger, fury and indignation and trouble, a band of destroying angels. He leveled a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, but gave over their life to the plague …”.
The ten plagues were: water turned to blood; frogs; insects; livestock pestilence; boils; hail; locusts; darkness; death of all firstborn.
David counts his fighting men:
“Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel. So David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, ‘Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me word that I may know their number.’ ” – 1 Chronicles 21:1-2 – David’s pride of his mighty army
“Joab said, ‘… Why does my lord seek this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt to Israel?’ Nevertheless, the king’s word prevailed against Joab.” – 1 Chronicles 21:3. And the number of fighting men were counted.
“God was displeased with this thing, so He struck Israel. David said to God, ‘I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.’ … ” – 1 Chronicles 21:7-8
“The Lord sent a pestilence on Israel; 70,000 men of Israel fell. And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he was about to destroy it the Lord saw and was sorry over the calamity, and said to the destroying angel, ‘It is enough; now relax your hand.’ ” – 1 Chronicles 21:14-15.
Prophet Amos:
“…’Yet you have not returned to Me,’ declares the Lord. ‘I sent a plague among you after the manner of Egypt … Yet you have not returned to Me,’ declares the Lord.” – Amos 4:9-10 – unrepentant Israel in their obstinance to worship false gods and commit other grievous sins
The Fall of Jerusalem to Babylon:
“I will judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you … I will repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the Lord, do the smiting …they have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all their multitude. The sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city. Even when their survivors escape … all of them mourning, each over his own iniquity.” – Ezekiel 7-1:16
SRH:
“For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence.” – Psalm 91:3
“For you have made the Lord, my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place. No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent.” – Psalm 91:9-10
If you place your trust in Jesus Christ and accept His sacrifice on the cross as payment for your sins, you’ll go to heaven. The Bible says – “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9. The Bible also states – “For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” – Romans 10:13. The best preparation for the coronavirus is to know where you stand. Jesus says you are either for Him or against Him – “ ‘He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.’ ” – Matthew 12:30. There is no in between. So if you haven’t made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, I encourage you to do so right now. Do it before it’s too late. Because – Jesus is coming – soon.
