Human neural stem cells are highly vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2, including Omicron. Researchers found blocking one entry pathway cut viral entry by 75–85%. Maternal infection may disrupt fetal brain development, risking long-term cognitive or behavioural issues. Monitoring exposed kids is critical.
Bahahahaha OMG.
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.

The G155E HA1 mutation in A/H1N1 haemagglutinin seems (if I'm reading this correctly) to have taken off around April. But it was around in Jan 2025- the first submitted one I can see is from Victoria, Australia, then Japan- but in 2026 it seems set in D.3.1.1. nextstrain.org/seasonal-flu...
Good health has long been the cornerstone of good economies… so… you tell me what a politician that undermines health protection behaviours is…
RFK decided to once again target maskers in a speech, laughing about going to LA and seeing people driving in their cars while masked. And I want to make sure people know that studies have shown that the reason someone might wear a mask in their car is that it's none of your fucking business.

There is something really concerning (and disappointing) going on in the US right now. A dangerous and preventable situation. Let me explain. nextstrain.org/avian-flu/h5... 1/
The most important thing about this number is that it indicates the state of surveillance and reporting… which indirectly indicates our state of preparedness for the next pandemic.
WHO data shows 139 reported COVID-19 deaths worldwide in the week ending 4 Oct 2026: • USA: 126 • Sweden: 4 • Mexico: 3 • 6 other countries: 1 each Many COVID-19 deaths go undiagnosed or unreported to WHO, so the real global death toll is much higher. Source: data.who.int/dashboards/c...

Science YouTuber Dianna Cowern (Physics Girl) had over 2 million subscribers when she developed Long COVID after falling ill on her honeymoon in 2022. Brain fog, headaches and other symptoms turned her life upside down. Despite some improvement, she functions at just 30–40% of her previous capacity.

My god. This is 💔. Big humans are supposed to protect our little ones. But also, I can't wrap my head around the depravity of pediatric specialists everywhere, still pumping out papers blaming lockdown for everything while not even bothering to count & support these kids (see also #LongCOVIDKids).

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet... #BethDobbin has written to Andy Burnham @primeministeruk.bsky.social to highlight the lack of care, research and support there is for people with #ME, especially severe ME. I so hope that they will listen and lives stop being lost or destroyed.
