Absolute 🦇💩 insanity that this is on the CDC website..

If everyone would just get up and walk a little more, we can prevent the next pandemic 😄🤣

Except… it’s not?

I already know @aaronnagler.bsky.social will be mortified to see Starr at 20..

“Proposed recommendations for MMR in children under 5..” what could go wrong?! 🤔🫠

I think the wording is critical. I wouldn’t say that I “enjoy” reading the same story for the 20th time in one week to my kids. But I do it anyway cause they like it. But mostly I enjoy reading a lot of their stories to them if I’m lucky and they choose a good one 😅

As soon as you open this page there are 5 points listed, and at least 4 of them aren’t true?! lol

I think most scientists have come around on preprints, but this is a perfect example of something that just maybe should have waited for some peer review. I read the paper last night and putting this out there for anyone with a bit of anti-vac sentiment to glom onto took some pretty poor judgement

lol, FFS.

Small part of our ongoing Hantavirus work just came online. Further evidence that some hantaviruses undergo adaptation when they jump from their reservoirs to other hosts. These changes somehow prevent each isolate from being able to re-infect naive reservoirs. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/...

I’m starting to lose track of all the batshit crazy things that have been done and it’s only been, what, 4 days? I’m going to have to start a running list of these..

This is basically Justin Smoak all over again. A guy I couldn’t stand during those Jays ALCS runs.

Aren’t senators and congresspeople supposed to, you know, read bills??

I feel like we can praise Rwanda and its swift response and can certainly point out the US’s shortcomings so far with HPAI while also acknowledging that HPAI and Marburg are very different viruses and their outbreaks completely different situations…

I suppose it’s somewhat reassuring that going from 2 to 3 kids a few weeks ago doesn’t affect our household. At least as far as this goes…

Because a dog and cat and 2 kids under 3 weren’t already enough, we added one more…

LC still an issue, and there’s still a lot of uncertainty, but most of what is said here is either untrue or misleading. @gidmk.bsky.social had a nice piece about this a bit ago. Vaccines (or any immunity) help immensely. Most people *do* recover eventually. gidmk.medium.com/the-ongoing-...

Anyone have experience with any of the text-to-speech/audio conversion offerings? I'm looking to try one out for papers and other things. Any recommendations would be great!
