It could literally fly in. Or that, as time goes on, those ranges will likely change for more infectious diseases. Toss in habitat encroachment, physiologically unwell animal species due to their inability to adapt rapidly enough to climatic changes, & he was most unhappy with my answer.

A several years ago, an old ex (geology) asked me to look over where he was going to situate his family to avoid the effects of climate change. He dealt only w sea level increase. He didn't like my answer that his idea location was still going to be susceptible to infectious disease.

The combination of the persistently lowering vaccine rates, the increased risk of developing LC w infection, and what's already being seeing in terms of impacts to not just the GDP but people's lives is just so disturbing.

Up to 5.8 million kids have long COVID, study says. One mother discusses the "heartbreaking" search for answers. Amanda Goodhart says her 6-year old son Logan caught COVID multiple times. But even months later, his symptoms didn't get better.

Just gonna scream into the void with a blast from the 2024 past--how many more children are going to develop Long COVID this year? What are you going to do to protect your kids? Are you building Corsi-Rosenthal boxes? Talking to your school administration?

One thing I do know is that I was an autoimmune patient. Past tense as I started masking in 2020, have dodged respiratory infections, & am now ANA negative. My rheumatologist & I are seeing if that state holds.

Pierce County woman may have first locally transmitted case of malaria in Washington Health officials say she hasnโ€™t traveled, and it may be the first-ever case acquired in Washington.

I guess malaria was feeling left out & decided to enter the chat...

Locally acquired malaria case in Washington. How it happened--unknown & up to conjecture. Range of disease will change right along with climate though, fyi.

It's getting to be that time of year again. 5.8 million kids with Long COVID here in the US as reported in 2024. How many more lives are people willing to ruin because of a pack of ghouls said it was okay? It's nauseating.

I could say the same about Long Covid and the millions of children who will suffer the proliferation of cancer, vascular disease, immune dysfunction, kidney and liver disease as the result of repeated infections from SARS-CoV-2.

Adults live in denial about what theyโ€™re doing to their own kids.

Gotta love that they note that cases have declined in recent months without noting that the agency that should be monitoring it is impaired.

Even more sickening is that the propagandists behind the lack of mitigations within schools were literally promoted to the highest positions of power over our public health system in the US. I remember their prattling on about how kids aren't harmed by COVID.

Ghouls. Absolute ghouls.
