Meningitis Outbreak Not Another Coronovirus

A Meningitis outbreak in Kent which has claimed the lives of two young students takes us back to the early days of the Cornovirus outbreak with lines of people queuing up to be vaccinated and concerns over the amount of inoculations available.
At the moment there have been two deaths and 27 confirmed cases and 15 further under investigation in the Kent area and the NHS are warning that they expect cases to rise over the next few days although they are keen to  state that unlike the Covid virus, the Meningitis bacteria is not transmitted through the air and it is safe to use public transport.
As of this morning over 930 students at Kent University have received the immunisations but as they can take up to a week to work and is more of a long term protection, anyone with symptoms should take Antibiotics immediately which work much quicker.
The scientists at the Department of Health are calling this outbreak as 'unusual' and 'affecting more people than expected' have traced ground zero to a nightclub in Kent where most of the victims visited over the last few weeks and are working on several theories including the students sharing vapes as the the bacteria which can cause meningitis is transmitted primarily through saliva.
Also being considered is that the lack of social mixing by students in their younger years due to the Pandemic may have left them less naturally immune to MenB as well as the bacteria itself possibly evolving and changing to be more transmissible.
Obviously there will be scaremongering but nobody in authority is expecting this to spread to other parts of the country and if there are cases from students returning home, it absolutely is not another Cornovirus which was spread through the air and the Meningitis bacteria does not survive very long on surfaces.
