As we approach America250, I wish to point out that if not for woke George Washington mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox, we probably wouldn’t have made it to America001.

Haha…my favourite pet peeve is the co-opting of the very specific mathematical term “calculus” to mean calculation. Eg “the politician needs to rethink the calculus…”

I’m still masking. I’m not sure which specific change in which variable(s) will modify my behaviour. It’s an interesting epidemiological puzzle to face. For now though I stay masked with wholly too expensive N95s

Glad it’s not too bad. My daughter is doing a study abroad year at QUT. It’s funny, when she chose Brisbane we talked about cyclones in Queensland. And I was like- nah, you’ll be fine. You only get those in far North Queensland. She has been riding out the storm safely in Southbank with others.

While my travels remind me that diseases should never be named after real places, I would be remiss if I did not also acknowledge the privilege of travel. And that those diseases have brought undue hardship to so many. #Privilege #GlobalHealth #DiseaseNaming

Just like in response to 9/11 when we created the DHS, we need a new Federal Department of #OneHealth. COVID could have taken us there, certainly H5N1 (et al H’s & Ns) should take us there, assuming the federal govt is serious about serving the public health needs of its constituents.

Thanks Isabella for sharing a theory that at least assuages my rational brain’s near apoplexy at everything it’s been hearing lately. I suspect my rational brain is organizing an internal revolt in my CNS as I keep failing to provide its daily needs for public health logic, optimism and calm.

A reminder that the pandemic is not over. The only thing that ended back in May ‘23 was the legal emergency framework. The public communication around that fact was devastatingly poor and has allowed folks to think they can ignore COVID. And yet Excess deaths are happening and can’t be ignored.
