Well, given two people apparently died, it may be appropriate to call such response callous. Also I think these sorts of incidents are usually people getting a stroke mid-driving or something, though I guess 56 may be on a young side?

Bill had a quadruple bypass in his 50s. While he’s gotten serious about his health since then, I can’t imagine saying he’s the healthiest compared to someone like Carter who was still building houses with Habitat for Humanity in his 90s.

I mean, I don’t think that it’s likely, but if Clinton lives till the sixth or seventh decade of this century, I’m prepared to call the competition in his favor.

Carter has all the dead presidents beat handily.

Only the most dire partisans (including apparently one doctor) would consider Trump or Biden to be contenders. If Biden didn’t wake up tomorrow, he’d still be in the top quarter of longest‐lived American presidents, and Trump isn’t that far behind.

Clinton, Obama, and Bush the Younger are the only competition that Carter has.

Of the presidents that entered office at ages younger than Carter, Bill Clinton is already the lifespan leader at seventy‐seven—surpassing Fillmore, Tyler, and Taft in both age at inauguration and in total lifespan. Obama is also in the running at sixty‐two and entering office only a year older than Clinton. George W. Bush, two years older than Carter at inauguration, has an uphill battle but can’t be counted out.

I’m posting the text here because while CIDRAP is a good organization, their article was real thin. This is at least an official statement, though it doesn’t add much other than clarifying the timeline.


WHO statement on reported clusters of respiratory illness in children in northern China

quote:

WHO has made an official request to China for detailed information on an increase in respiratory illnesses and reported clusters of pneumonia in children.

At a press conference on 13 November 2023, Chinese authorities from the National Health Commission reported an increase in incidence of respiratory diseases in China. Chinese authorities attributed this increase to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the circulation of known pathogens such as influenza, mycoplasma pneumoniae (a common bacterial infection which typically affects younger children), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Authorities stressed the need for enhanced disease surveillance in healthcare facilities and community settings, as well as strengthening the capacity of the health system to manage patients.

On 21 November, media and ProMED reported clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children in northern China. It is unclear if these are associated with the overall increase in respiratory infections previously reported by Chinese authorities, or separate events.

On 22 November, WHO requested additional epidemiologic and clinical information, as well as laboratory results from these reported clusters among children, through the International Health Regulations mechanism. We have also requested further information about recent trends in the circulation of known pathogens including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV and mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the current burden on health care systems. WHO is also in contact with clinicians and scientists through our existing technical partnerships and networks in China.

Since mid-October, northern China has reported an increase in influenza-like illness compared to the same period in the previous three years. China has systems in place to capture information on trends in influenza, influenza-like illnesses, RSV and SARS-CoV-2, and reports to platforms such as the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System.

While WHO seeks this additional information, we recommend that people in China follow measures to reduce the risk of respiratory illness, which include recommended vaccination; keeping distance from people who are ill; staying home when ill; getting tested and medical care as needed; wearing masks as appropriate; ensuring good ventilation; and regular hand-washing.

WHO will continue to provide updates.

That gag order is on hold for appellate review. And naturally, the appeals judge is a dipshit that more or less said "uh, nothing is imminently harmful here, I am concerned about restricting speech". So the judge got a lawyer and submitted 30-50 death threats a day that he gets, which escalate for every Donnie bullshit post.

Vehicles have been set on fire and shops looted in Dublin following a knife attack that left five people, including three children, injured.

A five-year-old girl and a woman in her 30s were seriously hurt in the attack after 13:40 local time.

It happened on Parnell Square East in the city centre, outside the children's school Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire.

A man in his 40s who was also seriously injured is a person of interest, police said.

They added that they were not looking for any other people at this time and are following a definite line of inquiry.

From what I’m seeing a woman and three kids were attacked on the street by a knife wielding man in his 40s or 50s. The Irish Far Right took this up on social media and labeled him an other of some kind and claimed it was racially motivated. A mob formed to enact justice and the Guardia told them to gently caress off back home.

The nativists in the streets now wouldn't consider a third generation Algerian family as Irish. It's an ethnic distinction.
