1/ Hantavirus update as of 10am PST May 8: Count is still 3 deaths and 5 more infected. Dozens of people across a dozen countries are being monitored, including in the United States. What is happening with the cruise ship? We now have some answers (and some relief for those on board.)

Given that Casey Means will say or do anything at all to get confirmed as Surgeon General, I’d like to offer this easy peasy way to send your Senators a letter opposing her. This is an effort from @defendpublichealth.bsky.social that almost 5000 people have joined, we’d love to have you aboard.

January 2021 was the deadliest month of the pandemic. 3000 Americans died daily, 95,000 in total. And Prasad was *mocking* people for avoiding COVID. Shame on anyone who treated him as a good faith actor or serious thinker. Let’s be honest about his record.

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

A woman came in today and literally begged me to get her surgery done before the end of the year because she’s facing an insurance premium that’s tripleing in just a few weeks and she won’t be able to afford her insurance, nor her surgery, after January 1st. Thanks Republicans.

It's amazing how much clarity the New York Times has about Viktor Orban and his crackdown on LGBTQ people. If only they had it for Trump and the US. It's the exact same political strategy!
Unable to find any marchers performing lewd acts or any evidence of the bacchanalia the government had been warning against for weeks, Mr. Orban’s media machine focused on traffic jams and minor scuffles caused by the march.

“Chaos at Budapest Pride,” read a banner headline in Magyar Nemzet, a media outlet that serves as Fidesz’s version of the Soviet communist party newspaper Pravda.

Mr. Orban, a populist nationalist, has long cast Hungary as a bastion of conservative values besieged by “woke” forces in the European Union and the United States, trying to distract attention from Hungary’s faltering economy and to rev up his right-wing rural base.

The report maintains a veneer of inquiry, but its structure and many of its claims closely mirror those of a document produced under RFK Jr.'s leadership at another organization.
