I came here to see if anyone interacted with me lately (replies are still enjoyable to read here) and what showed up before I had a chance to switch from the default screen was someone actually using the phrase, “Louder, for the people in the back” and then talking about fighting for a better world or some such.
I wonder if that person wears an #N95 respirator to prevent infection with a brain-damaging airborne #virus. Odds are, they’re not, though asking directly is a no-no.
"Recently, this common virus has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, but no clear route of central nervous system invasion has been established," said Christy Niemeyer, PhD. "Identifying how HSV-1 can get into the brain and what brain regions are vulnerable is key in understanding how it initiates disease."

The world is facing a panzootic spread of bird flu for few years. This #virus is circulating worldwide and has passed several spieces barriers (including cattles dogs cats and pigs) and human were infected. No panic but If anything, now is the time for #preparedness, time to fund vaccine/antivirals research, time to fund and train hospitals.

The pessimist in me sometimes whispers, it's inevitable we'll be wiped out by #virus one day. The odds are stacked against us.
A critically ill teenager shows how quickly #influenza #viruses can mutate and evolve. So far, we have been lucky, but it just has to go wrong once. And the more the #virus replicates, the more likely it is that disaster strikes.

More than 50 people in seven U.S. states have had confirmed cases of a human bird flu variant, concerning health experts that another pandemic could be possible. This week, a child in California with no known contact with infected animals came down with the virus. CBSNews@flipboard.com medical contributor Dr. Céline Gounde explains why this is a worrying development and answers other questions about bird flu.
If we talk about the lessons that we should learn from the #Pandemic, stockpiling ample of personal protective equipment (#PPE) is one of the most important ones.

Bird flu in Canada
Bird flu in Canada may have mutated to become more transmissible to humans https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/19/bird-flu-cases-mutation-canada 'The US “absolutely” is not testing and monitoring bird flu cases enough, which means scientists could miss mutated cases like these, said Richard Webby, a virologist at St Jude children’s research hospital’s department of infectious diseases.' #birdflu #virus
The case, which was in the Brazilian state of Ceará, has been described in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine. Before this case, there had not been any confirmed OROV infections in Ceará.

"Die genetische Sequenz des #H5N1 -Vogelgrippevirus, mit dem ein Teenager in British Columbia infiziert wurde, zeigt, dass das Virus Mutationen durchlaufen hat, die es dieser Version des H5N1- #Virus erleichtern, Menschen zu infizieren, sagen Wissenschaftler, die die Daten untersucht haben."
“Calif. health officials dip into pandemic stockpile in response to bird flu, the state reports 5 new cases.” Thankfully, Gov Newsom is addressing #H5NI, because the federal govt’s response has been limited, & the T administration will do nothing. “About 75% of CA’s wastewater sites monitored show evidence of #H5N1.” #PublicHealth #Virus #Outbreak #Flu

If you could design a virus that only infected people with a particular personality trait, what trait would pick?
