      @ai6yr @jwz This is the last time we’ll hear about infectious diseases from a government agency.

      They’ll solve this public health crisis by hiding the numbers and firing the health agency employees.

      @clacke @ai6yr there was an outbreak there in 2022 and the origin was traced back to an immigrant who contracted it before immigrating.

      @ai6yr The article doesn't mention a likely source. Could it be raw milk?

      @clacke @ai6yr I'm going to digress into some raw milk musings here as I don't believe it's related but a lot of people are unaware of milk standards in general. I'm not an expert on this by any means, but I hail from farm country, USA:

      While I don't believe people should be buying raw milk (I don't trust our dairy or factory farmed beef/chicken), I don't think most people are aware that raw milk isn't the Wild West as far as quality controls. At least as long as you're not buying it from a farm store (on the farm's property) which bypasses pretty much all regulations for meat/eggs/dairy/produce.

      (I once had a gallon of milk that had cow shit and grass in the bottom of the jug. Took a swig, barfed it into the sink, held it up and looked at it from underneath ... 🤢)


      Anyway;

      > Regulations require that bacteria and somatic cell counts of Grade “A” raw milk not exceed 100,000 Standard Plate Count (SPC) and 750,000 Somatic Cell Count (SCC), respectively.

      and

      > The Pasteurized Milk Ordinance sets the SPC limit for grade A milk at 100,000 cfu/mL and the SCC limit at 750,000 cells/mL. Wisconsin regulations have the same limits.

      > Pasteurization is intended to destroy foreseeable levels of these bacteria but it does not destroy heat-stable enterotoxin

      So it's essentially the same restrictions on contaminations. If you can trust the testing. (I wouldn't). So the pasteurization is certainly an important safety step even in 2025. There probably were a few decades when milk production was more diverse (more farms, smaller herds) and we had pretty good milking and storage procedures that would have made this less of an issue.

      If you were to buy your raw milk from a small farmer with a small herd that is healthy and they're not suffering from massive infections / mastitis on their udders I'm confident you'd be fine.

      Taking raw milk from a factory farm? You're doomed

      Oh goody. My annual flu vaccine grew to four vaccines this year. Next year, will it be 5? 8+?
      My pharmacist is pretty good at recommending updates based on local outbreaks.

      "As of Jan. 17, public health officials reported that they had documented 66 active cases and 79 latent infections in the Kansas City, Kansas, metro area since 2024. Most of the cases have been in Wyandotte County, with a handful in Johnson County." #tuberculosis

      @cavyherd @ai6yr Tb was the original disease researched for aerosol vector spread (on hamsters iirc).

      @ai6yr

      Is it too much to hope that N95 resps are effective against Tb?

      Someone misunderstood the assignment.
