While the visualisation could be prettier, it works. That’s a clear message, and still people try to explain it away. I don’t even.

Pandemic? What pandemic? Those are clearly just millions of isolated cases.

I like this article a lot. It gets to the root of the matter and credibly, simply, explains why the lab leak hypothesis was false.

International research has estimated the health costs of long COVID will be in the trillion dollar range globally and recent data reveals that the life expectancy of Americans has been dialled back three years for white men, and six years for African American men.

“All the efforts that have been made in preventative medicine over the last 30 to 40 years have been negated by COVID-19,” Professor Nicholson said.

Thanks - I don’t have any memory of that, but I suppose disease reporting and my sensitivity to it were different then.

Why is flu so high and why is covid still a thing?

We clean some public bathrooms for one of our long time customers. One of the bathrooms is used by five office guys, it’s been two weeks and we haven’t had to add even a drop of hand soap to the dispenser.

Based on the condition of the toilet and the floor around the toilet they are definitely doing things that would require an occasional hand wash.

And people wonder why I will never shake someone’s hand ever again, ever.

Right?

For me it’s only okay if the person’s germs have been killed because they’re on fire.

A CDC official said the agency was “aware” of several confirmed cases that could be connected to the conference, but cautioned “the cases we’re aware of at this time should not be referred to as an ‘outbreak.’”

It’s a conference, so of course it had breakout sessions.

They even provided transportation!

I am so fucking tired. The AGs office has important work to do. They are critically understaffed in attorneys, child support, and general staff. And yet this is what he is wasting money and work hours on?! He’s probably the worst AG Texas has ever endured. Not because he is a far right MAGAT who likes to prance about in christo-facist clothes, not because he is probably a criminal, but because he sacrifices the real work that needs to get done for PR stunt lawsuits and investigations and has gutted the well of employees who were willing to get the work done if they could be non-partisan.
Texas needed his democratic opponent to win. I’m not sure the office will survive another 4 years of this shit
