A quick google search for “CDC LGBTQ health disparities” uncovered a page that I’ve accessed numerous times before, and now it is not found. Erasing words doesn’t erase the truth. #publichealthsky

Influenza is peaking locally. If you’re feeling flu-like symptoms seek medical attention and get antiviral treatment (if appropriate) early, especially if you’re at higher risk for hospitalization. #ROC www.health.ny.gov/diseases/com...

Unlike Covid, HMPV is well studied, and there is widespread capacity to test for it — luxuries that we did not have in the early days of Covid. There is broad population-level immunity to HMPV virus globally. This wasn’t the case with Covid initially.

Yet another cool Bluesky thing that makes me not miss Twitter/X, and frankly Facebook too for that matter: If you follow @listifications.app, they will DM you when you've been added to a list, starter pack, block list, or someone's blocked you and which user did so.

New York Times Editor’s note: “Jimmy Carter died on Dec. 29, 2024. Roughly a year before he entered hospice care, he wrote his final New York Times Opinion essay. In it, he looked back on the Capitol riot and explained why he was so worried about American democracy.” www.nytimes.com/2022/01/05/o...

From Australia to the U.S., Mirror, Mirror 2024 compares health system performance across 10 nations and highlights essential policy lessons to improve the U.S. health system. One major finding? The U.S. continues to be in a class by itself in the underperformance of its health care sector.
