Notices by "You do you" is Eu-gen-ics. (beadsland@disabled.social), page 2

Roommate just told me of #Hochul's plan to have police monitor bus fare payment machines on #PublicTransit.

So that pretty much answers my question below:

https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112906563849915876

Given the choice between equitable access to transportation and finding disadvantaged populations to blame, history goes with the latter at every opportunity.

Things only "bend toward" justice when enough of us are pushing in that direction.

Health supremacist white supremacy ain't about that work.

So here we are.

Frankly, surprised it took as long as it did.

Expected mask ban hammer to come down in 2022.

Here's the thing about Democrats in North Carolina's senate trying to amend the law to make it only a pretext for arresting protestors…

To wear a mask is to protest.

Hell, no, I will not willfully participate in the preventable harm of myself and others!

Hell, no, we won't go quietly into the pandemic night!

The idea that one can separate medical masking from protest masking is height of privilege.

Wastewater flu detected at high levels in Jackson, Oregon; above average in Illinois, Florida (x2), California (x2), Kansas & Oregon.

Influenza-like illness high in Cape Coral/Ft Myers, FL (pretty much pings all year round); moderate in Jackson, Mississippi (has been top three for months now).

Houston/Woodlands/Sugar Land data again, pinging on week-old chart, having shown green for same period week ago.

❖ #BirdFluBegins #influenza #AvianFlu #BirdFlu

NCHS estimates of #LongCovid—based on Household Pulse Survey. Next update Aug 8.

Lower "Living with" figure aligns to change in question format—now asks about duration.

As more and more folk experience Long Covid, fewer and fewer have been staffing our hospitals.

[This is first toot of weekly thread, updated daily, providing various dataviz of ongoing #pandemic.]

Last week: https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112832317185609160

May 1, mandatory reporting of hospital capacity data ended. May 3, HHS released their final raw datasets through April 27:

https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112362054534487955

May 10, CDC released expurgated version of hospitals data. Despite some 95% of hospitals from prior week still voluntarily reporting, much data no longer available:

https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112420096734681972

National trends should still be useable—will integrate once finished with variants chart updates:

❖ #BirdFluBegins #influenza #AvianFlu #BirdFluBegins #CovidIsNotOver

Now that CDC has assumed control of hospital capacity data, we no longer have public access to facilities level data:

https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112505690372394194

This despite the fact that hospitals are still voluntarily reporting that data.

This means that we no longer have ability to roll up facility-level capacity data to county-level choropleth, CDC having determined public only has a right to state-level data.

Below chart thus only maintained as a historical document.

CDC now withholds voluntarily reported hospital capacity data, previously available on a weekly basis from HHS:

https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112430074444014571

Excluding not only facilities level data, but also pediatric capacity data. Making below map impossible to maintain.

Only information CDC deigns divulge is pediatric covid-19 admissions, yet not pediatric influenza admissions—despite tracking such otherwise:

https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112420575972530938

This map retained as historical document.

"Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)…continues to struggle daily with unprecedented overcrowding – particularly in its Emergency Department (ED)."

Statistics, as always, are structural.

If MGH can be in 16-month unprecedented crisis w/out ever topping 100% reported capacity, imagine degree of crisis in hospitals ≥100%.

That said, HHS data didn't include ED patients awaiting inpatient beds—as of May, we don't even have HHS data.

Now a historical document.

With hospital capacity going from mandatory to voluntary, control of public data was transferred from HHS to CDC:

https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112420181964381951

CDC's expurgated public data file provides no information about capacity in pediatric wards and children's hospitals:

https://disabled.social/@beadsland/112420512694255522

Thus, the below chart will receive no further updates. Being maintained for now as a historical document.

Let's hope we won't regret the loss of data:

Considering #Harris's statement:

So, to sum up, Harris would ensure continued military aid to #Israel, yet somehow still saying "it is time" for a ceasefire.

More openly than Vibe'n, admits harm being done to those in Gaza, but only as vanilla pablum.

Basically, Vibe'n policy, with more bite… yet still no teeth.

So long as our government keeps unconditionally handing Israeli government weapons, Israeli government will keep using those weapons against Palestinians in #Gaza and #WestBank.

Folk leaning into aphorism of perfect vs. good, too oft do so by conflating extrinsic position with intrinsic nature.

That what was prior second-best evil is removed from array only changes what rests in second position.

Whether that item is second-best evil or just second item after evil… ain't make it good. If we're lucky, item in second position could be neutral.

Yet good or neutral entails intrinsic properties not contingent on position within array of choices.

Even with only two items.

#Compliancism is a system under which one is released from homelessness for good behavior.

Compliancism is likewise a system under which net worthiness is redeemed through knowing one's place.

One's place in relation to race, one's place in relation to space, one's place in relation to party.

As the tide swells of domestic climate refugees, the internally displaced & unplaced, the line that compliancism would draw between "homelessness" and "protest" will only continue to blur.

#lumpentheory

Anti-homeless ordinances being used against student protests, you say?

Instruments of #compliancism being employed to suppress dissent, you say?

Whodda thunk?

#Classposture—unlike categorical class—is about relations to power as a matter of praxis, a matter of habit, a matter of habitus.

#Disaccommodation classposture is a lumpen relation: to camp in protest is to inhabit relations not by #perquisitive nor #conveyancée postures claimed by workerists, but as the unaccommodated, the nuisance.

@ryanc

Remnants of #CrowdStrike outage, perhaps?

As the Usian chief executive is now again covid positive…

Three years out from declaring Independence From The Virus…

(to rhyme with Mission Accomplished)…

A reminder that #CDC National Vital Statistics System final mortality data for 2021 is now essentially a year overdue…

With no delivery date for that data on offer:

(Reminded of this on seeing current child covid mortality stat from Brazil.)

@inquiline

Almost as if they're trying to mobilize voters of the other party against them.

Cheap heat, as they say in wrestling.

Kayfabe panto, at every stage.

@inquiline

Of course, yet they also want a fight over it. They seek ego-value of a hard won battle.

If their opponent doesn't even put up a fight—if DNC faithful refuse to genuflect at the polls—victory will be far less satisfying.

This is the bully taunting the bullied, getting them to at least try to stand up for themselves, so that they can then have satisfaction of knocking them down.

The more it looks like their targets won't even make a show of opposition, the more the goad comes out.
