The mass firings at the CDC tonight drive home the fact that no one is coming to save us

But we can save each other

Wear a mask. Ideally a respirator like an N95

Even if you’re vaccinated. Even if you’re “not worried”

It protects you but it also protects everyone else

Bonus? Less colds & flus!

At Massachusetts General Hospital, a study of 59 children found Long COVID patients had 2.5x more microclots than healthy peers.

The new microfluidic test identified cases with 94% accuracy, offering a faster way to diagnose Long COVID.

Clean indoor air is public health. 💙

We spend 90% of our lives indoors — at home, at work, and in schools.
Cleaner air means fewer illnesses, better focus, safer spaces.

Would highly suggest starting to up mitigation layers like masking again (especially upgrading to better, well fitmasks), learning about good ventilation like air purifiers, mask blocs for masks, & other resources, etc

We will not be ready for H5N1 & any further biorisk issues if this continues.

This is why one of my mantras is 'politics itself can be a biological risk'. Wildfowl migration has already begun in North America, which will mean a significant increase in H5N1 infections in poultry, dairy cattle and humans. Yet politics is dismantling the defence.

Influenza versus Cövid.

826 COVID vs 89 flu deaths, and within 90 days, 1,391 COVID vs 149 flu deaths, showing worse outcomes for COVID-19

Rough maths? About 10 times more fatal

Japan’s Health Ministry declared an influenza epidemic after 4,030 cases were reported in the week starting Sept 22, up 957 from the previous week.

135 schools closed amid outbreaks, three times higher than last year.

Reduce the viral loads on air by ventilating and filtering air. Many diseases are less severe when the exposure dose is lower.

Attempting to “live with” (aka ignore) airborne viruses circulating at high levels *is a choice*.

We could do much better.

Yale researchers analyzed data from 158 million US workers and found that even after the pandemic, COVID-19 continues to raise work absences by 13% and labor force exits by 13%.

The virus has created a new year-round baseline similar to flu season.

Evidence of the potential for covid infections to translate into eventual dementia.

Ask your public health officials what they're doing to limit covid transmission.

Viral trigger in Alzheimer’s disease is the real scary spooky #FluorescenceFriday.

After entrapping viruses, amyloid-β presence can generate an excessive response by brain cells, creating chronic inflammation and downstream pathology that may lead to Alzheimer’s symptoms. Fewer than 5% of #Alzheimer cases are genetic. For the vast majority, the cause is 'unknown'.
