Absolutely the case! Surveillance and expertise are key for the public health.

Remember, for the past 5 years Jay Bhattacharya has gone on twitter and Fox News telling people he *would have* handled Covid perfectly, blasting public health at every turn.

Now that he’s in power, “don’t blame me” seems to be the theme.

The colors on these Aspergillus were just so beautiful. The green one is Aspergillus flavus, and the tan one is Aspergillus terreus.

The exudate on the A. terreus literally made it ✨️sparkle✨️.

Fungus is so amazing ❤️

U.S. conditionally approves vaccine to protect poultry from avian flu The decision brings U.S. poultry farmers a step closer to immunizing their flocks

Good news. Fortunately, it is approved by a federal dept. RFK Jr. doesn't oversee (USDA). Call me pessimistic, but how long until this gets attacked with the usual antivax talking points by people with sig. platforms? "Toxins," human health impacts, etc., etc. 🙄🛟🧪😷 idsky medsky

Article on Trump’s NIH freezes:

Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

San Francisco health officials say presumptive bird flu case found in child Health officials in San Francisco announced Friday that they are investigating a presumptive case of H5N1 bird flu that was found in a child who lives in the city.

NEW: Health officials in San Francisco are investigating a presumptive case of #BirdFlu that was found in a child who lives in the city. It’s not clear how the child contracted the virus.

The child had fever & conjunctivitis, wasn’t hospitalized and has fully recovered. #BlueSky  #MedSky 🧪 #IDSky

There is a widespread outbreak of #norovirus, a GI virus that causes projectile vomiting & profuse diarrhea usually lasting 24-48 hrs. Wastewater levels nationwide in 🇺🇸 are high. It’s miserable & incredibly contagious. So many friends are texting SOS, so here’s a 🧵. /1

💯 There is deep anxiety about oral antibiotics not being “aggressive” enough with a “severe” infection, with the concern about an error of omission rather than commission. Meaning, a bad outcome by doing less outweighs concerns about a bad outcome by doing more. #IDsky

Agree! It is quite a difficult sell when we want to be “aggressive.” Alternatively, IV abx won’t do the job any better than oral if the vascular supply is compromised. IV does not treat arterial insufficiency…. #IDSky

We try to get clean tissue and not swabs. My approach is to treat what is left. I also consider what is most likely to be pathogenic in that situation given virulence factors.
