US measles cases surpass 700 with outbreaks in six states. Here's what to know - Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed in a televised Cabinet meeting Thursday that measles cases were plateauing nationally, but the virus continues to spread mostly in people who are unvaccinated… #Measles #vaccines #PublicHealth #RFKjr #RepuublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis #virus #ChildhoodDiseases #HHS https://apnews.com/article/measles-outbreak-texas-rfk-new-mexico-kansas-vaccine-e904ec9781f1d164c73afe4ab71774fe

Only a couple thousand cases of Norovirus have been recorded in the U.S. My family is now added to the list.

Folks. It’s been a rough weekend, with little sleep and lots of scenes reminiscent of The Exorcist. Trust me when I say you do NOT want this. Protect yourself however you can.

Currently I’m treating myself to hazmat care while I look after the infected in my home.

Omg Bae Doona has a new movie with Son Suk ku and it sounds like it’s a romcom?? #Virus #kdrama https://www.soompi.com/article/1734405wpp/bae-doona-falls-in-love-with-everything-after-contracting-the-love-virus-in-new-film

There is a Rökysopp song, “Melody A.M.” that gave me a twinge of sad nostalgia. Not the tune, but the end, where it switches to a recording of a guy calling his friend and telling him some “good frequencies” he’s been messing around with in his DSP music machine. He gets to 400 kHZ and his friend says, “Four hundred!” Yeah. “I’m coming over.” “Do that.” “I’ll be there in a sec.”

Just being able to call a friend and have him come over, with no concern about #Covid — about being infected by #virus that has given millions a life of disability and misery and continues to do so whether you choose to believe it or not. And still having such friends, five years into a #pandemic that has changed people’s brains and mass-delusional behavior.

It’s a lot. We’ve been at this a long time, fellow #CovidIsNotOver people, with no end in sight and the pressure to quit worse than ever. For me, the lulls in between waves are some of the hardest of times.

And yet, we persist. We don’t want this virus in our bodies if we can help it, ever.

A special type of chewing gum can “trap” and neutralize some influenza and herpes viruses, according to new experiments from scientists in the U.S. and Finland. @ScienceAlert reports:

Data reported by the CDC last year show that during the 2023-2024 school year, MMR vaccine coverage among US kindergartners fell to 92.7%.

But a new report from healthcare analytics company Truveta suggests that figure is even lower, finding that only 80.4% of US children had received both MMR doses by age 6 in 2024.

Maintaining measles elimination status requires vaccination coverage of 95% or higher.

I may be misremembering this, but seeing all these Margaret #thatcher posts on my feed (yesterday was the anniversary of her death), reminds me of an old Virus/Worm for Microsoft Word, that randomly replaced words in documents with the word 'Thatcher'.

Googling can't seem to help me find the find the details, so maybe I dreamed it? (Pretty sure I didn't).

Nachdem kürzlich ein Kind in Andhra Pradesh an #H5N1 gestorben ist & eine Reihe von Vogelgrippeausbrüchen in mehreren Bundesstaaten gemeldet wurde, ist die Vogelgrippekrise in #Indien in eine besorgniserregende neue Phase getreten.

Das #Virus das bisher auf Geflügel beschränkt war, infiziert nun Tierarten, die kein Geflügel sind - darunter Tiger, Leoparden, Dschungelkatzen und sogar Hauskatzen - und deutet auf eine alarmierende artenübergreifende Übertragung hin.
