This is perfection.

Two Canada geese found dead on the UMass Amherst campus recently have tested positive for bird flu. www.cbsnews.com/amp/boston/n...

@dollyparton helped create Moderna’s COVID vaccine, with her funding. Let’s see what she’ll do for #BirdFlu. 🌺 In Dolly We Trust 🌺

The bird flu has reached the state’s prized poultry industry, with the first commercial case of bird flu hitting a producer in northeast Georgia.

Waste water tracking results.

Pay attention.

Norovirus is surging across the country, and all I can think of is a video @thespeechprof.bsky.social recently responded to of a woman bragging that she doesn't wash her hands after going to the bathroom at home. (This is a thread about hand-washing but also about justice and living our values).

During the pandemic’s first two years, life expectancy in the US plummeted by about 2.7 years — the steepest decline since World War II.

Twenty big cats, including a half-Bengal tiger and four cougars, died at a sanctuary in Washington State after becoming infected with bird flu, according to the facility’s director. “We’ve never had anything like it.”

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

New study finds that women born in the most sexist U.S. states experienced faster memory decline in later years compared to women born in the least sexist states. The difference was equivalent to nine years of cognitive aging.

CDC just confirmed the first severe case of #H5N1 in the US in a patient in Louisiana. This virus seems to be the same genotype D1.1 that is spreading in birds at the moment (so not the cattle genotype B3.13) that severely sickened the teenager in Canada. #IDsky 🧪

It is interesting how the CDC recently changed the graphic to explain the #H5N1 spread without explicitly acknowledging it is an airborne virus. Lack of transparent communication did not help with the previous pandemic. Before and After. See the difference? We always knew #H5N1 generates aerosols.
