Professor @jennifernuzzo.bsky.social worries that the federal government appears to be doing less monitoring of farms for potential viruses than previous administrations.
"It might mean that things are going on that people don’t see or know about," the @pandemiccenter.bsky.social director said.
The Ebola outbreak in the DRC has now crossed 10,000 cases and is getting close to 5,000 deaths.
It is a staggeringly large outbreak and it continues to grow rapidly, with 96 new cases in the last 24 hours alone.

I very much want to be wrong, but I think this outbreak is going to get much, much worse. Attacks on healthcare workers, active conflict zone, porous borders, sub-optimal surveillance. A very bad combination.

@mark-carney.bsky.social , I hope that the courts find in favour of these young Canadians.
Shame on our federal government and provincial governments taking us backwards.
Young people are taking the feds to court, arguing Canada’s climate law fails to protect their Charter rights. Ottawa says its control over climate change is limited. The trial could reshape climate accountability. @stefanlabbe.bsky.social's first for The Narwhal: thenarwhal.ca/canada-youth...

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens.
The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.

Multiple lawyers, including renowned Joel Bakan, confirm that the Bradford plan to commercialize water in Toronto very much opens the door to privatization: www.thestar.com/news/gta/cit.... Shrill denials from Bradford and his billionaire backers are a clear tell. #toronto#canlab
Among those species is human.
So far there hasn’t been sustained human-to-human transmission, but if we keep giving the virus chances, it is just a matter of time.

If you look at where those sequences came from you see that they are from all over the country. That means the virus is not contained, it’s continuing to move across the country.

This is seriously messed up! I hope that the UK and France on the Security Council veto this choice and that the other voting nations on the General Assembly do not support him for the job!
I was chatting with my elderly neighbor recently (in his 70s)
I asked if he got his Covid and flu boosters for this year
He replied that he is taking a break because of all the negative things he is hearing about vaccines
This is exactly how disinformation works
Yes we should have.
Why Ontarians weren't and aren't more upset at Doug's Captain Canada BS is beyond me. And what happened to the investigations into his corruption??
3/ Utah officials learned in mid-August of the outbreak at C&T Fenn Farms, a fur farm west of Provo.
Had poultry been infected, the playbook is clear: If even one chicken tests positive, the US requires farmers to kill the whole flock.
There are no federal rules for dealing with sick mink.
2/ This outbreak has been raging uncontrolled for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic.
But the federal government has brushed off the issue, and Utah has prioritized the fur industry’s interests.
Here’s something you should know about minks:
They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people.
They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19.
Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

Danielle Smith throws Forever Canada under the bus, blaming them for the referendum: "If somebody doesn't want to put a vote forward, then they shouldn't start a petition campaign. If they're going to do that, then they have to understand that there are consequences to it."

@ABDanielleSmith says the Oct 19 referendum is @LukaszukAB's fault.
Absolutely not the case. Thomas explains why.

Airborne precautions would prevent FAR more illness than hand washing! I’ve been wearing N95 respirators in public since 2020, and guess how many contagious illnesses I’ve had. Zero. In six years! I used to get sick 3 or 4 times a year! I don’t miss catching colds all the time!
