1. Another European country is reporting cases of Dermatophilus congolensis, an animal skin disease, in men who have sex with men. Swiss researchers report in @eurosurveillance.org that they've detected 6 cases; two were likely imported, 4 locally acquired. www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2...

1/2 Informativer Blogpost zur Hitze in den Städten. Das von @meteoschweiz.ch gewählte Bild des Sechseläutenplatzes zeigt exemplarisch, dass vor 15 Jahren das Thema Klimawandel für die Stadt Zürich völlig unbedeutend war, war doch dort bis 2011 mitten in der Stadt die Sechseläuten-Wiese.

Gosh this is why I love Bluesky (and Twitter in its good old days): Getting to see scientists asking questions, bouncing ideas around and for my ever curious mind to learn new interesting things. 😃

Yes, bird flu could become airborne, human-to-human. As my collaborator Seema Lakdawala points out, we're doing the experiment now. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/s...

Scientists were slow to recognize that Covid spreads through the air. Some are now trying to get ahead of the bird flu.

[1/2] All that matters is CADR! Ignore things super-hyper-mega HEPA. Often times a filter that only provides 70-80% actually provides more clean air than a filter that is 99.97%(HEPA). I used a 16x20 3M filter taped to a Taotronic AP-003(with no internal HEPA installed) and got a 30% boost in CADR.

1/2 I live in a country where #AD is legal. A dear relative subscribed to have access to it once his condition got worse. He ended up not using it and died peacefully at home. I think the possibility of #AD gave him a sense of control in case of suffering. It‘s off putting to see the arguments of

I‘m using my heart rate for pacing. Sometimes I notice a sudden short drop I can’t explain. Same with oxygen saturation which drops to 95% out of the blue and goes back up again. Strange (and fascinating!) things happen in #Covid #recovery #Longcovid

There‘s a lot of euphoria about this site which fully understand but we should not be naive that the more powerful Bluesky gets, the sooner it will be infiltrated by those that want to control narratives. We should be prepared - (and yes, my mantra is also here: „Block hard & early, no regrets“!)

I‘m currently 3wks after 1st Covid infection (had several vaccine shots) I‘m still very easily fatigued and deal w/ brainfog. Are there guidelines for recovering and avoiding long term issues? I rest and try to pace, but unsure „what is too much“ #longcovid #LC

I don’t know, but the case of the infected teenager with #H5N1 in Canada, now a child in California, both without a known infection source is giving me bad „maybe we missed something“ vibes. I hope it is just coincidence but I am also a bit afraid something is just taking off.

Do rapid tests still detect currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 Omicron EG.5 Eris" & its sublineages? Our rapid assessment with patient samples: Yes, detection still works & sensitivity is comparable to earlier variants! Thanks to Meriem Bekliz from my lab for this timely work!
