At some point BlueSky may also become a flea infested bot-hole… and if that happens I will move on to greener pastures, like the nomadic creature I am.

I don’t sit around waiting for good things to land irl. Why online?

b) am engaging in meaningful debate, with actual people on some things we disagree on.

The SoMe infowars are going to have casualties. We can’t invest in so much of what we see…

But at least in this echo chamber I

a) know that I am in a group with similar leanings, and understand the existence of other opinions outside it…

SoMe is full of bots, and I don’t have that kind of time tbh… to slowly and carefully consider that mountain of repetitive 💩.

Never mind Bayesian analysis with considered prior something something.

Show me a p value that says wading around in the raw sewage is gonna grow my brain.

Someone actually presented the case… with a straight face… that echo chambers make you stupid (their words not mine), used “right wing” “left wing” as examples… and said that we should use slow careful thought to form prior something or another…

Yeah. BUT

We are thrilled to now be on BlueSky!

We prioritize studies addressing critical health challenges—from major diseases to health equity—that bridge scientific rigor with real-world impact, connecting researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to advance global health 🧬🧪

We don’t find out for a couple of days right? Otherwise fine. :-)

And I hope the rest of us have learned a lesson about how we will approach the next patient with a tummy bug.

Fastidiously and professionally.

Hope it turns out to be something less terrible… but gastro of any sort can be deadly in later years. Hope he recovers.

In case you are wondering if it’s a good idea to wear a #respie and use proper PPE when caring for undifferentiated patients in the emergency department….

You think some staff might lose some sleep tonight in Italy? #MedSky #Marburg

The struggle is real. Reflex times go down… and pro gamers develop issues in their joints…

Imagine eliminating a cancer!!

It’s possible 👇🏾

“Illnesses increased over five years at all ages in 11 out of 12 districts that measured it independently.”

You add a new disease… you can’t expect any other outcome.

Here's the latest variant picture for New Zealand, to late October.

In a chaotic scene, NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" is being challenged by JN.1.* +DeFLuQE (led by PE.1.4) and XFG.* "Stratus".

That include airborne? #COVID

A news article with the headline “Beloved singer tragically dies after never recovering from long Covid” is shown. A subheading notes that her final moments with her family were captured on camera, leaving fans heartbroken. The article is written by Frankie Collins and dated November 21, 2025. Below the headline is a photograph of a woman with long reddish-orange hair, looking slightly upward with a soft expression. She is outdoors near a pond with lily pads and surrounded by lush green plants and trees. A small wooden boat is visible on the water behind her. The overall tone is somber and reflective.

Brazilian singer Eva Rodrigues Praia Walkey, 40, has died after nearly 5 years battling severe Long COVID. She faced repeated hospitalisations, grueling treatment, and never regained her health. Her family confirmed she passed away on 18 November in Manaus, Brazil.

and while i was running around packing a bag and stuff i swear i heard the lead EMT allude to the fact that no one would be masking in the ER either.

I FUCKING WONDER WHY, BRINGER OF PESTILENCE AND DEATH

hahaahhahaha yep! sure glad… everyone is super.., covid-conscious… 🫠

If kids are the ones hunting small animals… why hasn’t vaccine research prioritised them?

Can anyone give me one sensible reason why the world hasn’t forked out the money to offer vaccines to every adult and kid that hunts bushmeat? For mpox etc?

This is a problem that does not need to exist.

Luckily, all of the healthcare workers were properly attired in fit tested N95 masks. We learned THAT lesson in the "last" pandemic. *WHEW*

You probably shouldn’t rely on symptoms alone to look for novel virus spread.

We have no idea what the asymptomatic spreader potential is… although… until it adapts more… it may be low.

I would do PCR tests a few days apart, and serology at day 10-14.

Yes.

The kids should join in with the disease prevention thing.

It’s good for their health, and good practice.

Like learning to cook.

It’s just an impossible situation, so I think your attitude is spot on! Every infection we avoid has value. I hope someday there are more institutional responses to reduce the individual burden.

Yes.

The actual “winter bug” testing panel is about 12 viruses long.

So unless you love being sick…

UKHSA says 'wear a mask' as four viruses spread in UK Health bosses expect to see 'further increases' in winter virus levels as the colder months hit

Wear a #respie *before*, during and after your “winter bug”… because there are lots of them, and the next one is waiting.
