Colorado confirms first measles outbreak as 2nd Arapahoe County resident in 2 days tests positive for measles: www.denver7.com/lifestyle/he...

"I feel very safe and confident when out and about in my clear mask - and I didn't even have to take it down at the TSA!" Math Prof. @mariagillespie.bsky.social in her modified OmniMask souped-up with 3M P100 filters & a voice diaphragm from a Honeywell half mask. www.instagram.com/p/DKQh8IQMnv4/

Fight for our rights to multi-layered protection against SARS-CoV-2. Submit a comment to the FDA by 11:59AM ET today, May 23, 2025 www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...   Subject: Federal Government G0007.

🚨NB.1.8.1, linked to a significant outbreak in Asia, now spreads in the US. Liz Bonis @local12.bsky.social interviewed @hamcohealth.bsky.social Director Dr. Steve Feagins on a potential COVID surge this summer. bit.ly/WKRC_NB181 Layered prevention is best: 😷+💉+ 🔄+🧴 #MaskTogetherAmerica #CleanAir

Much of Europe will probably see a summer wave starting soon, with both XFG and NB.1.8.1 growing at similar rates, and the combination is already probably in the 30% prevalence range.

This interview (1 & 2) is worth your time & attention. Sidhwa brings a distinctive perspective/analysis - he has a firm grip on the healthcare "landscape" in Gaza bc he was there working as a trauma surgeon, & as a US citizen by birth he can fathom the many forms of US complicity that got us here.

Yes, Antarctic sea-ice extent has been crashing, with the 3-year running average recently setting a new record low, down nearly 20% from its 2016 peak and more than 10% from its long-term average. The 3-year running average smoothes out short-term anomalies and tells the story:

Your 'moment of doom' for May 14, 2025 ~ Sooner than expected. “We’re witnessing ice dynamics that simply shouldn’t happen on these timescales. The acceleration pattern suggests we’ve potentially crossed a critical threshold that our models didn’t anticipate until the 2040s.”

Remote teaching in 2020 launched my interest in high quality virtual mathematics presentation. Just today I completed this playlist for undergraduate combinatorics, the result of years of learning and a semester of hard work: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

We need more doctors that will give out notes freely for mask wearing. Every good doctor knows how important wearing a mask is, not just for oneself, but for everyone around you. There is so much ableism in this email. The eugenics of it all.

Where is Public Health? Last week, I was writing about #measles spreading in Ontario and Alberta and the invisibility of public health officials there. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... CBC News has more on the topic today, including this observation. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

STUDY: "These findings indicate that even mild #COVID19 can result in persistent neurocognitive deficits, structural brain alterations, and functional network abnormalities, both in individuals with and without brain fog." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Fauci saying elderly and immunocompromised people will "fall by the wayside" and RFK Jr's speech about autistic people are two sides of the same eugenics coin. How so, you ask? ⬇️

Forced “treatment” is incarceration of people who have not been convicted of a crime for the benefit of private recovery businesses making money from government contracts. Like other private detainment situations, the people are the commodity from which they make money. It is not effective or care.

All conferences should be doing this, not just US based ones. Not just for accessibility & inclusion but also to reduce travel & carbon costs

*And continues to rip

if covid taught us anything it’s that doctors aren’t even that smart, so the pointlessness of it all burns

Important to remember this didn't "just happen". It wasn't necessary. It was 👉 done to us👈, by people who couldn't put their egos aside for long enough to learn. Empire-building science cosplayers whose reaction to the real thing was to shut them out - then double down and bury their own errors.

Britain’s Heathrow Airport will be closed Friday after a fire at an electrical substation knocked out power to the airport and thousands of homes.

Marginalized ppl feel the need to fight for a better 🌎 as our lives LITERALLY depend on it If you’re more privileged, please think ab how you can amplify our voices & be an ally Wearing a mask is part of it as COVID disproportionately affects BIPOC ppl, people of low income & immunocompromised ppl

This Long Covid Awareness Day, let's look at why people believe they don't know anyone with Long Covid. We are in the middle of a mass disabling event that most people refuse to acknowledge. When we face the truth & stop denying reality, we can save lives:

For about a year, I crafted a character I called “Conservamanda” where I baited my con representative with right-wing dog whistles to return my call and then would get him on the phone for 45min at a time where I told him what “my business owner friends and other conservatives” were telling me

The media forgets (or hope people forget) too fast. This was how the NPR covered our research not long ago. Today is International #LongCovid Awareness Day, by the way. Let's not forget to fight for the millions worldwide who never recovered after a #COVID infection.

As it approaches midnight in Australia and the rest of the world will awaken soon. A terrible reminder of Cøvid... And it's not over any time soon. For my many damaged and struggling patients 😔💔 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Telehealth saves time traveling to and from appointments – and that means less disruption to work and other daily activities. Those without access to transportation and those who live far from their healthcare providers rely on telehealth to see their clinicians.

Our future NIH director said COVID’s risk kicked in at age 70, back when no one was vaccinated. More…

What can you do this week?

Not all resistance has to be boots on the ground. There are small ways we can all resist. Wear a mask Donate to mutual aid Support libraries, food banks & community fridges Fascism thrives when people are misinformed, scared & divided. Being informed, united & helping one another IS resistance
