📈 The summer COVID surge has started and cases are on the rise, particularly in the South. ✅ If you have risk factors for progression to severe COVID illness and have symptoms, get tested 🧪 so you can get treated 💊 COVID treatment decreases risk of severe illness and hospitalization

Table titled "Example of high-risk factors for progression" with two columns: "Example health condition" and "Example therapeutics." Health conditions listed include age 75 years or older; fewer than 1% peripheral B cells after at least 6 months of treatment; congenital agammaglobulinemia; hematopoietic stem cell transplant within 2 years or with active graft-versus-host disease; hematologic malignancy on therapy; HIV infection with CD4 count below 200; other severe primary immunodeficiency; solid organ transplant; and solid tumor on treatment. Example therapeutics include B-cell–depleting agents within the past 12 months (such as rituximab, ofatumumab, ocrelizumab), CAR-T therapy within the past 12 months, abatacept, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (such as imatinib and ibrutinib), high-dose corticosteroids (equivalent to at least 20 mg prednisone daily for at least 4 weeks), and anthracycline derivatives. A note states that the listed therapeutics are examples that predispose to substantial immunosuppression.

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program. And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars. Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

The irony of Trump dismissing the Epstein files as a “hoax”, usurping the power of Congress, and trampling on the DOJ’s independence is that any attempt to stop the release of files only adds to the appearance of a cover up. Trump's desire for control could be his undoing.
