i thought this was an incredibly tone-deaf acronym for, i don't know, Free-Libre Unconference, but in fact #FluConf2025 is an online-only conference precisely because #COVID still rages on amid plenty of other disabling-to-deadly diseases.

A few years ago, some Texas Doctors for America colleagues and I were critical about a physician who was spreading misinformation about hydroxychloroquine's effectiveness against COVID: https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/2020/12/06/letters-to-the-editor-doctors-for-america-offers-advice-the-us-election-system-klyde-warren-park-fountain-supreme-court-decision-on-church-attendance/
Fast forward to present day. Guess who lost his board certification? https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/features/113624

Welp. That's the end of COVID wastewater data in my county.
Last year I noticed that the CDC's COVID wastewater data map indicated "No Recent Data" for my sewershed since mid-November 2024. I finally called the Lynden Public Works office (twice) to get an answer for why. This was the response they sent me:
"I had a talk with our Plants superintendent regarding the wastewater testing and reporting to the CDC. I was informed that this was done during the pandemic with some grant money that was available. This was stopped once the pandemic came to an end and there was no more grant money.
There is talk at the treatment plants on whether they would like to start this process again though and may be brought back on in the future."
Sometime between today and yesterday, the dot on the CDC map for my nearest sewershed collection area (#2124 Whatcom County) disappeared.
I'm going to lobby my city's public works department to take over data collection from that jurisdiction. We deserve to know the level of COVID (and other pathogens) circulating in our community.

The NIH have sent out a press release. Hopefully this will lead to a lot of coverage.

I hadn't put much thought into #Covid in deer... maybe #H5N1... till now I guess...
Captive deer in Texas show evidence of widespread COVID exposure
"...and found more mutations than expected compared to the same virus in humans."
"In Texas, captive deer are found in more than 1,000 facilities with 100 to300 animals each..."
"...may serve as a reservoir for the virus across North America..."

Pneumonia is a condition, not a disease in and of itself. So you tell yourself you have pneumonia because you don’t want to think you have #COVID, but you might.

#Excess Mortality #Covid #Influenza
Weekly mortality in Switzerland until December 29:
The FSO did not publish its weekly graphic, or my browser refused to show it.
Mortality continues along my baseline, no effect of influenza apparent (yet) in the preliminary and extrapolated data.

Luckily it's relatively easy to lock down an island(s). I remember when Hawaii lifted their #Covid lockdown. Made me sad bcuz, well...
Re Ill-equipped: If I remember right, the teenager in BC who had a severe case of #H5N1 got some sort of plasma treatment that requires special equipment that most hospitals have, just not enough to care for lots of ppl during a pandemic
Just because your local hospital has the proper equipment to deal with it, you better be the only one!
Gorgeous na Shock!
https://cov.care is in private... I was just there a month ago and foolishly figured I could put off my N95 purchase for another month.
Where are folks buying their NIOSH-approved N95 #COVID #Masks these days? Wanna avoid Amazon since this is an item that can be counterfeited...

when you read an excellent science-focussed interview on the COVID-19 pandemic, but it's by a Trotzkyist organisation :blobblocraccoon: But there are also a couple of really good texts by anarchists, and maybe I should help distributing them here.
In this vain I make a shoutout to @MediaActivist, who wrote an excellent analysis, which I boost with much more delight than only subtooting Trotzkyists :molotov:

5 things we know and still don't know about #COVID, 5 years after it appeared - Victoria Times Colonist https://www.timescolonist.com/health/5-things-we-know-and-still-dont-know-about-covid-5-years-after-it-appeared-10022329 “Five years ago, a cluster of people in Wuhan, China, fell sick with a virus never before seen in the world.
The virus is still with us, though humanity has built up immunity through vaccinations and infections. It's less deadly than it was in the pandemic's early days…. But the virus is evolving, meaning scientists must track it closely.”
