You can also get a sore throat with the flu which is expected to be very bad this year.
Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

New studies come out all the time. I understand it’s hard to face but everyone should know the truth.
“Everyone [who’s] had COVID-19 tends to have some lasting reduction in brain blood flow (CBF), mainly in frontotemporal areas – even if they feel 100% recovered [and the infection was mild].”

Late-stage capitalism is death by a thousand cuts. Cuts to our food safety, air and water quality, overall health and well-being so greedy corporations can make even more money. If you die, you die.
The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

Trump supporters on various platforms have been bots for a long time, which explains why his inauguration, parade, and other attendance numbers didn’t match the (also fabricated) election results.
I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

And an exhaustive accounting of the monetary value of the loot stolen during this ongoing heist.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

And they both look like they’re withering away. Covid is consumptive. But many of their audiences are attributing it to an eating disorder.
At least they’re saying “COVID” & not just vague “illness.” I hope she didn’t spread it to too many people before testing.
