In the final weeks of the tennis year, more and more professionals are dragging themselves through tournaments with minor injuries. In Basel, a curious occurrence occurred: three of four quarterfinals were decided by forfeit. In Vienna, Alexander Zverev didn't even have to take the court.

I wish we could figure out why this is happening so often lately… Almost like there’s an ongoing pandemic that weakens the immune system with every infection, and too many aren’t fully recovering before heading back on the court.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

The President has immunity.

Now Stephen Miller is telling ICE they have federal immunity while β€œfulfilling their duties”.

We have a dictator with a secret police force and both have immunity from prosecution.

This is fascism.

They can and will do whatever they want.

I’ll never forgive schools and healthcare systems that had years to fix the air and didn’t.

They had the money. The science. The time.
They chose denial instead of duty.

In vitro complement activation via nucleocapsid and spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - In vitro complement activation via nucleocapsid and spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients

Researchers studied 99 COVID-19 patients and found that SARS-CoV-2’s nucleocapsid protein can trigger complement activation even without matching antibodies.

This suggests the N protein may play a larger role than spike in severe immune overreactions.

Good message, but still a fail. No mention of clean air, ventilation, or masks β€” which are far more effective at preventing respiratory virus transmission. 😷

Before you tell a disabled person it’s their family’s responsibility to care for them… remember that not everyone has family.

What’s more, disabled people are far more likely to be trapped in abusive relationships.

Better social supports would help them break free.

Cambridge researchers tested 332 deer and found SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in 62% of fallow and 25% of red deer from a single UK park between 2024 and 2025.

Suggests repeated human-to-deer spillover but little sign of ongoing infection in wild herds.

If you were at the No Kings events, please wear a mask for the next few days.

Covid is not over.

You can infect others before you feel symptomatic.

People are losing their healthcare. They’re losing their food assistance. They’re losing housing.

We need to protect each other.
