“The cats were found dead with no apparent signs of injury and were from a resident population of ≈24 domestic cats that had been fed [unpasteurised] milk from sick cows. Clinical disease in cows on that farm was first noted on March 16; the cats became sick on March 17, and several cats died in a cluster during March 19–20. In total, >50% of the cats at that dairy became ill and died.”

“While we respectfully acknowledge the impact of an artist's work, focusing more on their contributions rather than their untimely demise helps honor their memory positively.”
The only way we can adequately manage risk in healthcare in a pandemic with an airborne pathogen is by having sustainable processes & resources in place to cope with a high volume of cases.
Stockpiles of disposable PPE expire & run out quickly, ramping up processes/skills takes too long, & we can’t rely on building infrastructure being brought up to scratch in a hurry.
Airborne precautions for respiratory tract pathogens needs to be an increasing part of our healthcare routine.
@PieterPeach Yes. But that needs to be kept up with steady consumption for a long time.
There are already a healthy number of people continuously consuming them (medical and industrial), but that has been dropping-off somewhat.
I think regulations requiring them in places like nursing homes and hospitals wouldn't hurt either. Or military, especially Navy, which I often wonder about because not a lot has been said about that.
“Vapes were sold to governments & communities around the world as a therapeutic good: a product that could help hardened smokers kick the habit.
If vapes are therapeutic goods then it is entirely appropriate that Australia should regulate them as therapeutic goods, instead of allowing them to be sold alongside chocolate bars in convenience stores, often down the road from schools.
One in 6 high school students, & 1 in 4 young Australians aged between 18 & 24 are vaping.”
