CDC's recommendations for farmers re: bird flu outbreak in the US

1️⃣ Wear N95 respirators, eye protection, and gloves, and wash hands to reduce risk of infection when handling animals
2️⃣ Train workers to use PPE correctly

@luckytran
I am noticing the difference between "Wear an N95 filtering facepiece respirator" to farmers, which is specific and concrete, vs. "wear respiratory protection" to the general public, which is vague.
"If I keep my elbow in front of my mouth, is that enough?" /s

The CDC has a real problem with focusing more on "there is a hierarchy of protection, and you do not rank high enough to even be told what the good protection IS" than on keeping people safe.

Plenty of polishing in this release! Direct posts will now be styled as conversations while you compose them, making it easier to identify their visibility before publishing 🗨️

I apologize, but air filtration will not fix the pandemic. You will have to wear a respirator anytime you are close to people, or you will get covid. There is a lot we could do to make life easier once we accept this simple fact and get on with it.

pixplz,
@pixplz@mastodon.social avatar

@zephyrleifrenner Yes. As I've often said, clean air is the new vax-and-relax

zephyrleifrenner,

@pixplz Yeah… And we have fancy tools like the WHO calculator right now to show just how dangerous talking bare-faced near someone with covid is, no matter how amazing the HEPA filtration, but it has been obvious in napkin math since covid became extraordinarily infectious. It would be nice if there were more of a conversation about how to do life now, as opposed to raging against the people who won’t deliver clean air…

Hey, since we're talking about supporting open source maintainers, and maintainer burnout, maybe we should review the causes of burnout? They are:

  1. Values mismatch
  2. Harmful community
  3. Lack of autonomy
  4. Lack of recognition
  5. Overwork
  6. Lack of compensation

You can't support maintainers by making their burnout worse. So maybe keep that in mind while you're throwing out all your ideas for SBOMs or grant processes or whatever

I'm just a boy, standing in front of a girl, asking them to tell my peers, to stop endangering patients with clear bipolar disorder history.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/mood-switch-in-bipolar-depression-comparison-of-adjunctive-venlafaxine-bupropion-and-sertraline/BB9EA415A1240B7D6B3107CA6D1D4DE1

"Bipolar disorder occurs in 1–3% of the population ... Bipolar disorder is potentially lethal,
with a 10–20% lifetime risk of dying by suicide."

" However,
on most measures and analyses venlafaxine showed a higher risk of patients switching into hypomania or mania than bupropion or sertraline...
in 10% of patients taking bupropion, 9%in 10% of patients
taking sertraline, and 29% taking venlafaxine...Results revealed a significant overall difference between the three groups "

PLEASE stop putting patients with a clear bipolar history on venlafaxine monotherapy. Please.

Looks like the "Dry Tinder" model of "Mild" really only applied to killing off the weak in the older groups.

Everybody else is not doing fine now. (UK Data here)

Good luck younguns. You're gonna need every bit of it over the course of your (checking) 100+ lifetime SARS2 infections....

I have a friend in the south of England. He works for . He is sure he and a co-worker have (again..).

I texted: your work should have kits. You need to confirm.

He replied: Sainsburys don't want us testing. Regard Covid as the or heavy cold.

Corporate UK, promoting the denialist line and enforcing it on their staff, and (as such) customers.

Once again for the hard of thinking:

Ok, there’s no such thing as “immunity debt”. Exposing yourself to viruses does not “strengthen your immune system”. It’s not a muscle.

knowattitude,
@knowattitude@m.ai6yr.org avatar

@SusanBee That's right. It's not immunity debt. It's immunity theft.

"There is no evidence that [immunity debt] is real. In the absence of infections, the immune system does not lie dormant & weaken. We are constantly exposed to & co-exist with trillions of viruses, bacteria & fungi. Lack of infections does not weaken the immune system. But some infections, like measles and COVID-19, can." -Sabrina Vohra-Miller, November 4th 2022"

Netanyahu is almost certainly a sociopath, as are Trump and Putin. Everything they touch, dies. Netanyahu may destroy as well as Gaza if he and his fellow extremists are not stopped.

"Israel’s actions in Gaza could even lead the EU to debate “whether we continue with this strategic relation or not”.

@Greengordon maybe we need to examine how we've built a culture where narcissists or sociopaths or "people who will stop at nothing to get what they want" have risen to the top of nearly every organization everywhere. Maybe we need to study how did other cultures build safeguards against this?

    Happy to appear in this excellent podcast on the Online Harms Act, which unpacks both the good and bad in Bill C-63. Most discouraging: Justice Minister Arif Virani frequently rejecting “premise of questions” and his non-answers on fixing the bill. Not promising.

    genuine question:

    several times per day, I hear honking from random drivers as they pass by my house, usually in this pattern:

    can someone explain why?

    In summer 2020 when American workers (especially parents) failed to strike to demand schools and workplaces, that was NOT a neutral inaction. That wasn't just a failure to make things better. That was an unequivocal signal to the bourgeoisie to ramp up the exploitation to the max. That was the "fire at will" command to landlords, to CEOs, to the entire capitalist machine. That was our last chance to make a difference and we blew right past it without a glance.
