Three days ago was the 3rd anniversary of our loss of Chloe. She was such a wonderful companion. We still miss her. Memories are strong & we draw upon what she taught us about life. Hug & pamper your fuzzy child today & everyday. Images (adoption; thinker; hiding in Texas bluebonnets; New Mexico)

Nov 21st Update:
NWSS is back! After what may have been the lowest transmission rates since 2021, we are seeing rises again. Expect this to accelerate into the holiday season, especially in MW&NE
Estimates:
🔸150,000 new inf/day
🔸~1 in 220 currently infected
🔸~1 in 550 are significantly infectious

All the chickens touched the same elevator button
NEW: We traced out a devastating outbreak of bird flu to its source: an egg farm in Ohio. Where the wind blew, the virus followed.
Within weeks, the farms downwind were about 20 times as likely to see outbreaks as those that weren’t.

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic
Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

1/ H3N2 that’s circulated worldwide this year “acquired 7 new mutations over the summer,” Antonia Ho, of Scotland’s U of Glasgow, said.
That “means the virus is quite different to the H3N2 strain included in this year’s vaccine,” she said.

Warnings rise for U.S. as severe flu strain causes outbreaks in Canada, U.K.
A flu strain that emerged over the summer is causing "unprecedented" outbreaks in Japan, as well as in Canada and the U.K. The CDC hasn't provided insights on flu in the U.S. in nearly two months.

🔸️Early data suggests we could be in for a worse than normal flu season, brought on by a cluster of escape mutations in H3N2 this year that may lift the Re from 1.2 to 1.4. We are starting to see an uptick in the US. Data from BIOFIRE.

The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald happened 50 years ago today.
Gordon Lightfoot memorialized the tragedy in a haunting song.
Bob Dylan once implied that Gordon Lightfoot was the greatest songwriter of all time. He was certainly one of the great ones.

Grew up a Dodger's fan & sustained my allegiance through the years out of memory of my father's love for the Brooklyn & later Los Angeles Dodgers. I also loved going to Blue Jays games in the early 1990s while living in ONT.
Blue Jays played like champs. Respect to both teams for a GREAT series.

Even defaulting to KN95 style would significantly increase protection of the most vulnerable.
