Hong Kong was the first country to report a wave driven by the new NB.1.8.1.* "Nimbus" variant. Including it’s sub-variants, Nimbus has made a clean sweep of the landscape there, accounting for 100% of 50-odd recent samples collected since mid-April. #COVID19 #HongKong #NB_1_8_1 #Nimbus 🧵

Anyone remember ScoMo and “hospitals are ready”, and Chris Minns hanging around outside EDs , plus the general use of mental health to make excuses to let COVID-19 into the country? Turns out no one actually gives a 💩 about anything…

The FDA has updated an ongoing recall of tomatoes distributed in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina to its most severe warning, saying there is a higher probability that potential salmonella contamination could lead to “serious adverse health consequences or death.”

Here's the latest variant picture for the United States, to early May. The LP.8.1.* variant has peaked and fell back to 52%. The presumed next challengers are growing – XDV.* (led by NB.1.8.1) to 9% and XFG.* to 8%. #COVID19 #USA #LP_8_1 #XFG #XDV #NB_1_8_1 🧵

No one could have foreseen this.

When schools were about to reopen after COVID closures, Dr Oz said that some childhood deaths would be a “trade off”. I guess those were the “unpatriotic kids”. Every child who has been disabled due to lack of Covid mitigation in schools is now in abject danger under this regime

DOGE is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system—the likes of which we have never seen in the US. Trump could soon have the tools to satisfy his many grievances by swiftly locating compromising information about anyone he doesn't like. Our privacy laws aren't protecting us! Gift link.

Catchy headline aside, this is a nice review on the brain-gur axis

💡Tip 4: Avoid drying clothes indoors without proper ventilation or a dehumidifier. Wet laundry can release over 2 litres of moisture into the air per load, feeding mould, dust mites, & other airborne nasties, triggering serious flare-ups for people with respiratory conditions.

Respirators and masks work! This is a fantastic good news story about the benefits of a layered approach to avoiding COVID infection. It can be done, we just have to make the decision to TRY. We don’t have to consent to repeat infections. Wear a mask. Clean and ventilate the air.

Before this gets misinterpreted by antivaxxers, it's not spike protein from the vax in 43.8% of people's brains. It's 7 out of 16 vaccinated stroke patients included in the study (3 others weren't vaccinated). There was also spike protein from past infection. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

When you’re chronically ill, you learn who your real friends are. You will find that many people promise help. Tell you to “call anytime”. May even make plans to do something concrete to help you. They don’t follow through. They disappear. They ghost. They give false hope & rip it away.

We should all expect 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲. Individual cancer patients shouldn't have to self-advocate for basic infection prevention control.

As someone who grew up in a family with one of those infamous exploding Pintos, I find this story to be notable.

5. What's their vision? Many broligarchs were deeply influenced by what VC Reid Hoffman, a friend of Thiel’s since college & a co-founder of PayPal with Musk, calls the “grandiose, utopian” worldviews of SciFi fantasy. These visions are fundamentally anti-government, authoritarian & transnational.
