Mad props to Austin Hospital Paed Emergency.
Arrived by ambulance with 8yo with dislocated knee. Staff saw us masked & all masked up with little/no prompting.
Knee relocated without surgery & we’re getting ready to leave.
Fantastic bedside manner from everyone, paramedics, nurses, x-ray, Drs!

Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is now America's largest in recorded history
Kansas public health officials say the state's ongoing tuberculosis outbreak is the largest since the CDC started reporting TB cases in the 1950s.

Hospitals are killing patients because they don't feel like doing infection control
We now know COVID is fully airborne. We also know how to control airborne disease. So why are vulnerable people still dying of hospital-acquired COVID?

Why can’t these kinds of articles ever mention the impacts of repeated COVID and Long COVID on people’s energy levels? Crushing fatigue is one of the main symptoms
‘The fatigue is not only real, it is absolutely legitimate’: why are so many of us so tired right now?

Every year we run this race, and every year we get to the finish line – the last couple of months of the year – ready to collapse, only to face the prospect of preparing for festive events and family gatherings, entertaining children and preparing ourselves for whatever fresh disaster hell our superheated global climate is readying for us.
It’s exhausting. But this year feels especially hard.

Picked the 8yo up from school yesterday…
…& she came tearing out of class with her respirator on!!
Coupla months ago she said she wanted to blend in, so mask off, & multiple illnesses/missed school since, she’s chosen to wear again!
She doesn’t want to miss so much school!
Big relief!!

Australian coffee machine maker Breville is amassing inventory in the US before the tariffs kick in, and will shift the manufacture of the US version of its products out of China.

This is outrageous.
First Avian flu case in Canada, the teen affected went to the ICU. But they aren't using airborne precautions.
So this could spread to any number of health care workers on that unit, and further beyond.
