We could have high-quality ventilation and filtration in almost every school in the country by now. But 45 said COVID was no big deal, and 46 declared it over eight waves ago.
Schools, medical facilities, houses of worship, other public gathering places could have way better air quality by now. 1/x

Background: 60 USAID employees had been placed on leave for "undermining" Trump's executive orders. Nick Gottlieb was told by DOGE to then fire them. Instead he emailed all of them earlier saying he found no evidence of misconduct and used his power to take them off leave. Then he was put on leave.
Update: Cancellation of Your Administrative Leave Status Under My Authority 1 message
Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 2:04 PM
All: [redacted]
Attached, please find a memorandum documenting the cancellation of your administrative leave status under my authority. Before you get your hopes up, your systems accesses remain severed; you may receive another email within the day reinstating your leave status. However, that notice will not come from me.
I have reviewed the materials that served as the purported basis for your placement in this status. Most of you had no role whatsoever in those materials. For the small number of you actually involved, the materials show no evidence that you engaged in misconduct.
As a result, I no longer have authority to maintain you in this status. Someone else may claim to have that authority and I wish them the best in making a colorable argument to that end. I may not maintain my own accesses for much longer, so if you would like to stay in touch, I can be reached at |[redacted]
I wish you all the best - you do not deserve this.
Sincerely,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ciudwcsrchcmjspc5bis5q7j/bafkreiftcipd2xyqvot3thmkbznkl7hkjlewydo5slkatl2jctddpo2vfq)
![Image description: This image contains three separate images, all are words. The first is a Twitter post, the second two are news headlines.
First,
Dr. Lucky Tran writes: "I can't emphasize enough how dangerous it is that Louisiana health officials are stopping staff from promoting vaccines at the very same time that the first severe case of US bird flu was found in the same state."
Beneath that quote are these two headlines:
First, from NPR on Dec 20, 2024: "Louisiana forbids public health workers from promoting [effingvirus], flu and mpox shots" Heard on Morning Edition.
And from CNN on Dec 18, 2020, "America’s first severe case of bird flu confirmed in Louisiana"
