At max, you can expect to infect 5-7 people with COVID. That’s considered pretty transmissible, which is why we (tried to) lock down about it.
An infected person will give measles to 16-18 other people. It’s extremely virulent
It’s long past time for you to wear a mask again.

A thing I wish more people knew is that measles is basically the most contagious disease in the world

The FDA just cancelled a meeting to select flu strains for next season's flu shots.
"It's unclear what the canceled meeting will mean for Americans who want to get a flu vaccine next season."

If this sudden cut to NIH indirect costs (which pays for things like electricity, water, and elevator maintenance) is allowed to go through, the @utah.edu School of Medicine alone will lose $43 million dollars. This will affect jobs and the entire Utah economy.
Helpful table to determine how much your University or health system is set to lose if the NIH indirect cap is suddenly lowered to 15%. For SJSU it is $374k which is on the smaller end but devastating considering our other budget issues. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/l0ZqA/8/
Estimated Single Year Loss of NIH Funding if 15% Indirect Cost Rate is Imposed
Based on analysis of 2024 NIH funding data. Sums are totals of losses in funding to programs if indirect costs had been capped at 15%

Another funding opportunity is gone. NSF archived the the Career-Life Balance program which provided supplemental funding when researchers are on family leave.

Trump reversed an order requiring federal agencies to freeze grants and loans, but programs at odds with his executive orders remain at risk of losing funding.
