X is terrible, but after the Meta news on explicitly allowing transphobia / transmisia, overall it's just been a tough week.
Idk what I have but my asthma attack started last week. Elevated neutrophils indicate bacterial infection, my GP said? So either it was "probably viral" like the OoH 111 GP said and became bacterial as well, or I was unlucky that it was bacterial to begin with.
I've been on Prednisolone, a corticosteroid since the 9th; then last night I started Doxycyline, an antibiotic, and Montelukast.
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist, so it blocks leukotrienes, my patient pamphlet says.
Got a chest X ray out of it, at least. (Had back pain behind my ex-gallbladder since its removal anyway.)
Let this be a lesson not to lessen your mask discipline or stubbornness when other people peer pressure you to take risks with your health.
This is my first asthma exacerbation in a decade and I do not want to continue experiencing this. I do not recommend it. The people telling me I was 'paranoid', 'over-thinking it', 'worried about nothing' and more do NOT have to feel what I am feeling.
Teenage boys in public who choose to whine at me and intentionally coughing towards me (what?!!?) is super aggressive, creepy, entitled, and harmful to everyone witnessing that. Still, my upper and mid back has not stopped aching. I don't get fevers and I don't have a cough. Only you know your body.
Some people choose to care about harm reduction; others don't. Do right by yourself and do your sustainable best by others. I believe in you!

A quick thread about what viruses have been found to be transmitting in the air, from A SINGLE ARTiCLE FROM 2013
I originally posted this on Twitter April 28, 2021 and had been posting for a year by then.
The article:
La Rosa et al. 2013. Viral infections acquired Indoors through airborne, droplet or contact transmission. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23771256/

Hi! I recently migrated to fosstodon.org so reposting my #introduction
I'm a researcher working on statistical modelling and developing #bioinformatics software for analysing #metagenomics and #pathogen #genomics data. I also like tinkering with data compression and writing wrapper libraries for that.
Outside of that I do some amateurish #photography and trade unionist / left wing politics stuff but typically post about these elsewhere.
I guess I should do an #introduction -- I'm a computational biologist working at the intersection of bacterial #PathogenGenomics and #FunctionalGenomics, mostly on sequencing-based technologies, and run a research group at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research in Würzburg.
We dabble in #MachineLearning, #BayesianStatistics, and #DataVisualization, figuring out ways to apply these techniques to investigate #Pathogen #GeneRegulation and #Evolution.
Hi! I'm a lecturer in #Evolutionary #Ecology at the University of #Edinburgh, Scotland. My research uses the fruit fly #Drosophila as an established model of #infection, #immunity, and #behaviour to investigate the causes of individual #variation in #immune responses, #physiological traits and #social behaviours, and the consequences of this variation for #pathogen #transmission and #evolution.
Just having a little go on here! If you don't already know me from real life/twitter, I'm a Research Assistant at the University of Cambridge. I work on the #microbiome of the respiratory tract, #pathogen #genomics and #microbiology. Although based in the Dept of Veterinary Medicine, I mostly study human microbes
