Too bad it's not Sorokin's night, but lovely to see Semyon Varlamov on the ice for an NHL game! I'm really cheering for him, being the only elite athlete to return to same level play after bilaterial knee replacement, in any high impact sport. So glad to see him! #NewYorkIslanders #Isles #Varlamov

Jonas Vingegaard is out of the Tour De France with an injury after a crash. I hate this for him. Definitely my favorite rider. It’s a less awesome race without him. #Vingegaard #TourDeFrance2026

FAFO. Enjoy your alone time. This virus should not become a big thing, but because our species doesn't deal with reality very well, it'll be a bigger deal than necessary. Healthcare workers skipping PPE protocols. JFC.

Excellent graphical summary of the course of hantavirus events on the hantavirus cruise. Don't follow the alarmists and don't follow the purveyors of toxic positivity. Follow the ones who simply present information as clearly as possible.

It’s true that taxpayer data being hidden on #H5N1 is unacceptable & will likely result in the US being at fault for the next #pandemic However: you can protect yourself. Mind your dead birds & pets who might gift them to you. Invest in #HEPA filtration. Wear a well-fitting #N95 #mask. Manage risk.

CDC is still not freely communicating. Concern about cat —> human H5N1 transmission appeared briefly this week. But you don’t have to have this information to wear a mask & avoid risky situations whenever feasible.

This. Do what you can, where you can, when you can. Don't expect yourself to be 100% all the time. You have to live in order to resist. It won't look the same for everyone. Living well is the best response to people trying to wreck your life.

Felon 47 cannot keep you from celebrating diversity. Diversity of all kinds has always made this country better. It sucks what he's doing but he & his flying monkeys don't get a vote about what I value & what I celebrate.

Short of a bird flu starter pack, I guess the answer is to follow the health and human services page of every state within some distance of you. NC hasn’t updated their bird flu information since November, so…I guess I’ll look at VA, TN, SC, and GA. Seems like GA’s on the ball at least… #H5N1

Here's what Felon 47's little game with the HHS is going to cost us. Even a short pause at a particularly unfortunate time could prove rather harmful to public health. For example, when bird flu is really beginning to ramp up. Hope states can plug the holes in the boat...

And this evidently already began. What this means for us is that each person will have to look more carefully at the information that's being provided to us, adopt a certain level of science literacy, weed through the BS, & make decisions based on the closest thing to the truth that you can figure.

I would be much less concerned if we humans were not collectively providing SO many chances for advantageous mutations to arise through lottery during replication. It would be so much better if we would just try harder. There's no political will in the US and no societal will, either.

Correct. Bird flu is widespread enough that you should not assume that it could not possibly be in your vicinity. We’re not testing enough to know for sure. Be sensible, take reasonable steps, avoid the stuff and help your fur people avoid the stuff.

Excellent thread on bird flu vaccines and why they’re not in the seasonal flu vaccine. If people can bring themselves to use an mRNA vaccine, and there’s no reason not to, we’ll be able to ramp up bird flu vaccines quickly when needed. I sure wouldn’t want to wait til next fall’s seasonal vaccine.

Add this to norovirus being really active and you shouldn’t make assumptions about what illness you have. Get a test and get the proper treatment. And then avoid giving it to others, in any case.

This shouldn't be reassuring to anyone. "They had underlying conditions." So do virtually all Americans. All you have to do is include being obese as an underlying condition, which it is. Next, count up asthma, CV disease, diabetes.
