That's the moral of the tale that health authorities and experts and doctors and whoever should understand what's going on are not telling you, while pursuing a let-it-rip, make-sars2-endemic, let's-hope-for-immunity-to-grow nonsense. Absurd as it is an immune-depleting virus.

This is direct result of sars2 infection. There is also a slow process in the background, or better said, in the very core of your cells and in the very core of your body: mitochondria and bone marrow. People are slowly losing white blood cells, all over the globe.

Do you remember what I replied about Andes hantavirus when I was said that indigenous people were more immune to it because it's "endemic"? That if that were the case, when non-indigenous people were infected, then it was almost like a spillover.

WHO's director-general, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, has declared the Ebola outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern— a PHEIC—an indication of how serious the situation is.

Spain, next Wednesday a heatwave starts. We'll hit 98.6F (37C) in Zaragoza, in May! This may be a very dangerous and long summer with extreme - deadly - temperatures. Super-Niño, climate chaos. Data centers for AI crap might strain the grid too much. This can be a catastrophe.

MV Hondius is expected to dock in Spain’s Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, within three days.. Once in Tenerife, if they are still healthy, all non-Spanish citizens will be repatriated to their countries, Monica Garcia told a press conference in Madrid. www.irishtimes.com/world/2026/0...

French case of hantavirus who hasn't been in the cruise and was infected "after taking a flight alongside someone with the disease". h/t @mistym.bsky.social

so on one hand maybe dude wasn't exposed at all, but otoh if he had been by then he could unknowingly be exposing others right now. meanwhile ship is heading to Canary Islands on the ok of Spain but CI is disputing that they'll accept... a mess. here's hoping for no gain-of-function +lots of luck

so. a Turkish influencer left the cruise right after 1st death was announced👀 was he infected when he traveled? is he now? too soon to rule out. Andes hantavirus is more transmissible in its early phase, while usually not diagnosable w/blood test until symptoms onset (+then only by checking for it)

"I'm told by the doctor we're not infectious," an unnamed employee said in the video. "The ship is safe when it comes to that" 😬

So, we can deduce that there are passengers of the MV Hondius cruise that are on the loose. Might be that the cruise was harbor-hopping and swapped passengers. One of them has arrived at a Zurich's hospital by himself infected with hantavirus.

13:01 Three hantavirus patients have just been evacuated from the MV Hondius and are on their way to the Netherlands for medical care, says the head of the World Health Organization (WHO). www.bbc.com/news/live/cy...

12:23 Another case of hantavirus has been confirmed, bringing the total to three confirmed cases and five suspected, WHO says. Earlier the Swiss government announced a man is in hospital with the virus after previously travelling on the MV Hondius ship www.bbc.com/news/live/cy...

President of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, has rejected Spanish government’s decision to allow the Dutch MV Hondius vessel, which has a hantavirus outbreak on board, to dock in the islands. "I can not allow [the boat] to enter the Canaries," www.bbc.com/news/live/cy....

2 cases of hantavirus which spreads human-to-human linked to ship, South Africa says. @nicd_sa revealed that Andes strain was the cause of infection in a Dutch woman who died in Johannesburg, and a British man who is still in hospital. h/t @catinthehat.bsky.social www.cnbcafrica.com/2026/two-cas...

The cost is enormous not only for the companies using AI, but for the environment and for the citizens, as electricity price is going to spike because data centers need it. All this in the middle of a global energy crisis. AI should be erased ASAP.

AI can cost more than human workers now. IT budgets are getting blown out as some companies increasingly spend more on AI than on employees' salaries. Why it matters: Maybe human labor will be more cost efficient after all. www.axios.com/2026/04/26/a...

“Palantir’s manifesto, which embraces AI state surveillance of citizens along with national service in the USA, is either a parody of a RoboCop film, or a disturbing narcissistic rant from an arrogant organisation,” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

AI is in corporations' hands to control and manipulate, orders of magnitude much higher than any time before. The endgame is panopticon surveillance.

What is happening now in influenza may be related to how both France and Sweden approached the Covid pandemic: France battled hard, while Sweden let it rip. 10/x

However, in Sweden, about 80 percent of people aged 65+ never make it to the ICU. Even among 15-64 year olds, the reported deaths-to-ICU-admissions ratio is four times higher in Sweden (42.2%) than in France (10.2%). 9/x

The second factor appears to be triage. In France, for influenza, the ratio of ICU admissions to deaths is approximately 4:1 even in the oldest age group (65+). 8/x

Sweden’s growth in influenza-related deaths appears to be driven by two main factors. The first is test positivity: from 2022 to early 2026, share of positive influenza tests rose 4.2-fold in Sweden, or by 54.8% per year on average, while France’s positivity was down. 7/x

France and Sweden appear to be testing influenza at broadly similar levels. 6/x

Among all European nations reporting tests on influenza ... 5/x

In Sweden, influenza test positivity has risen sharply since 2021 and now stands at twice France's level. (Adjusted for population, the two countries appear to test at broadly similar levels.) 4/x

For France, the influenza positivity rate has been between 40% and 50%, with a slight decline since 2021. 3/x

Among school- and working-age population (15-64 year olds), 3.8 times as many people die from influenza in Sweden as in France. 2/x
