talked with a home daycare provider the other day.

she mentioned that, ever since she caught covid twice, her impenetrable daycare-forged immune system didn't really work as well as it used to.

some of her kids have also been showing URTI symptoms for about a year since their last covid infection.

cool cool.

real post I had the flu only once and it loving sucked super bad for a week straight. when people say covid is “just like the flu” I was always like “that’s cool I don’t want that either!”

i recently caught the flu. it's been over two weeks and i'm just starting to feel normal.

why would anyone be okay with the flu?

Thanks again for sharing these. WA looks to be in better shape right now than the entirety of 2023. That might also just be because fewer people are getting tested, year over year, right? Or is there anything to normalize the numbers as percent of tests?

Hopefully things are on par with hot vaxx summer though. Might be a good season for plenty of outdoors S&F

my SIL caught some kind of bad URI like a month ago, won't take any time off to rest even though she could, and didn't even take a day off her crossfit and spin classes

she sounds like absolute total death now and wont stop complaining about how sick she feels on the group chat

genuinely worried she's going to gently caress herself up with post-viral fatigue but there's nothing anyone can say to her to change her behavior

It's completely because get people are getting tested in clinical settings (the only way it will be counted since last year). They haven't provided % positivity rate in an even longer timeframe. I honestly only include case numbers out of habit. It's the least reliable metric by far.

I think you mean:

invest in innovative solutions(tm) in infection control

whether that change is meaningful is really all about your relationship to the means of infection control

I had to go to my sleep specialist a few weeks ago, and the receptionist told me (in my elastomeric with both intake and source control) that I was the first person she'd seen wearing a mask that actually does anything.

I felt pleasantly seen.

Anyway, how long until we all die from eating USDA approved chicken poo poo beef?

What You Need To Know

Bird flu struck about 40% of dairy cows in the Panhandle, where 82% of the state’s milk is produced

Experts say farmers should take certain biosecurity measures to protect their livestock from future cases

More than 1 million chickens were killed to prevent bird flu from spreading. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says they are easy to replace

One human contracted bird flu and experienced symptoms similar to pink eye. Experts say others aren’t at risk of being infected



quote:

The disease struck about 40% of dairy cows in the Panhandle, where 82% of the state’s milk is produced. Infected cows have stopped producing milk.

“The trick is, how do we return them back to their previous state of milk production?” said Darren Turley with the Association of Dairymen.

He says infected cows receive probiotics and electrolytes, but once a cow is no longer infected, it doesn’t always immediately resume milk production.

“If we have a cow that's not pregnant, and not giving any milk, it's very, very hard for us to make that work to keep that animal to pay for that animal,” Turley said.

Experts say farmers should take certain biosecurity measures to protect their livestock from future cases.

“Clean and disinfect those trucks coming on to your place. And the workers, too. If you have coveralls on at one dairy and that you’re not taking to other dairies, that would be of significant concern. And then if you’re a worker and dealing with sick cattle that they’re using personal protective equipment to ensure their safety as well,” said Dr. Brian Bohl, TAHC director of field operations.

Also in West Texas, more 1 million chickens were killed to prevent bird flu from spreading. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says they are easy to replace.

“We can have a new chicken hatched in 28 days. It doesn’t take that long. And that hen will be producing in less than six months from now. So once we get the birds disposed of, the house cleaned up, it'll be ready to restock and be back in business, you know, three to five months,” said Miller.

Miller says dairy and egg prices aren’t expected to increase and that the quality of the products is the same.

“We pasteurized most of the milk,” he said. “The only way you could get it is if [you're] drinking raw milk or unpasteurized dairy products. So if you want to be on the safe side, you might hold off on that for a while.”

One human contracted bird flu and experienced symptoms similar to pink eye. Experts say others aren’t at risk of being infected.

Already lived through that in 2012? Whenever that crazy cold snap froze Lake Michigan and killed off a ton of beef in feedlots across the west.
