Today Saturday 15 March 2025 is #LongCovidAwarenessDay. Today, people living with Long Covid and allies come together to raise awareness about Long Covid For some of us, the Day has already started, depending on the time zone. Seeing already the first advocacy initiatives ongoing, like in Australia!

As tuberculosis cases rise in the US and worldwide, health officials puzzle over the resurgence of a disease once in decline
Reports of TB date back to the time of Hippocrates, but the Kansas outbreak shows that the ancient disease is very much a modern-day scourge.

The smallest airways are 10X larger than exhaled aerosol. So then, how's it possible that airborne transmission of disease is possible? Surely the aerosol won't deposit And what does that have to do with masks? In this short video I walk you through it: youtu.be/PnXzeNnyRCM
