There are many forms of denial…

Iowa, as significant snowfall begins:

“Current situation across much of Iowa! The 911 calls are rolling in a people are continuing to drive like it’s sunny and 75!

Stay home and stay safe!!” —Caleb Beacham on Twitter

More info: Weather.gov

Screenshot from Twitter/x by Max Velocity that says: Iowa is already experiencing problems as a large winter storm is about to ramp up.
Then it quotes a tweet by Caleb Beacham which says:
Current situation across much of Iowa! The 911 calls are rolling in a people are continuing to drive like it’s sunny and 75!

Stay home and stay safe!!
Then there’s a photo at night of a snow covered road with traffic.

Tweet from x by Max Velocity saying: Winter Storm Warnings continue to expand, and snowfall totals are climbing even higher across nearly every impacted area.

A widespread 9 to 15 inches of snow is still expected, with localized totals pushing 18 inches or more where the heaviest bands set up.
That text is followed by a map of the Midwest showing many winter storm warnings. See NWS site linked in post for more.

Screenshot from Twitter of tweet by Max Velocity which says: WIDESPREAD 9-15" OF SNOW is likely across Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan tomorrow! ❄️
That’s followed by a radar map of the Midwest that’s largely covered by a winter storm.

Ugh.

I forgot to ✅ local news this week, so I missed this ⬇️ from 3 days ago… & it was worth missing.

So much about it, particularly in the last half, is so frustratingly wrong/horrifying.

My local children’s hospital is a joke/nightmare.

Illnesses on rise www.daytondailynews.com/local/season...

Screenshot of the last half of the linked November 23 Dayton Daily News article “Seasonal illnesses on the rise here” saying:

She recommends the RSV and COVID shots for anyone eligible, but said if you’re only going to get one, get a flu shot.

“Flu is still the mainstay. In all honesty, anyone that lives, breathes or goes to Kroger should get a flu vaccine,” she said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends an annual flu shot for anyone 6 months old and older.

This year, the CDC is emphasizing shared decision-making for the COVID vaccine, encouraging conversations between patients and their health care provider.

Under Ohio law, pharmacists, pharmacy interns and pharmacy technicians can administer the COVID vaccine without a prescription to anyone 5 or older, according to the Ohio Department of Health.

Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, director of the ODH, stressed the importance of vaccinations not only for seasonal illnesses, but for a litany of potentially life-threatening diseases.

“The fact is that we continue to see too many people contracting illnesses that can have very serious health effects,” Vanderhoff said. ”For decades now, we have had very safe and very effective vaccines for serious diseases that include polio, tetanus, rotavirus, flu, pneumococcal disease, hepatitis and many others. So I join countless healthcare providers in encouraging everyone to stay up to date on their vaccines."

Dayton Children’s Hospital has flu vaccines available at all Kids Express locations, COVID vaccines at the Centerville and Beavercreek locations, and RSV vaccines at the Centerville location.

4/ Our school was kind of on top of a hill. We dragged our supplies to the southeast corner of campus where there was a big downward slope. On the way, we scored an abandoned beat-up, hard plastic, round, blue kiddie pool.

3/ We grabbed some trays previously borrowed from the dining hall, removed the ice machine’s rectangular door, and grabbed a chair on metal runners. There chair felt like an insanely reckless choice, but we drug it along—heck, maybe peeps would need breaks and not want to sit on snow.

Photo of a chair similar to the one we used (although what’s shown has a flat hard plastic back and seat while our study room chair was upholstered), with a horizontal rectangular back piece and square seat with a gap between the two. These two pieces are connected by silver metal tubes that run along the sides of the seat and back and across the top of the back and the front of the seat. The metal tubes are rounded at every change in direction and the chair rests on two of these metal tubes that look like runners as they are flat on the ground from the front to the back of the chair on each side.

A commercial ice machine similar in basic design to the dorm’s with a vertical back and fatter base that protrudes forward and has a flat, rectangular, horizontal door that has a top hinge and you lift at an edge.

1/ I’m not Canadian, but I was in an org in college that took a trip from SW Ohio to Toronto and back in the 1st days of ‘99 (during ⬇️).

When we got back to OH/school, we were the only people on campus (everyone else was a day or 2 away from returning from winter break).

After being trapped…

DuckDuckGo search result screenshot that says:

North American blizzard of 1999
When the Canadian Army was called into Toronto to clear the snow
The Blizzard of 1999 was a strong winter snowstorm which struck the Midwestern United States and portions of central and eastern Canada, hitting hardest in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, southern Ontario, and southern Quebec dumping as much as 60 centimetres of snow in many areas. Chicago received a recorded 21.6 in. The storm hit just after New Year's Day, between January 2 and January 4, 1999. Travel was severely disrupted throughout the areas and the cities of Chicago and Toronto were also paralyzed… (continues in Wikipedia)

Interesting how the CDC data for Ohio seems to differ from the state of Ohio’s wastewater data site, which currently (data as of 20 Nov) indicates the state has a Moderate level of COVID (overall declining but rising in 4% of sites). But who knows, maybe tomorrow’s update will be a massive drop. 🤷‍♀️

Screenshot of DataOhio Wastewater tracking site showing the table for Statewide Infectious Disease Trends and Levels in Wastewater for COVID, flu, & RSV. The COVID cell says:
Increasing SARS-CoV-2 trends in 4% of monitored facilities.
Trend: Decreasing
Level: Moderate
FYI influenza & RSV are both low, so if you’re in Ohio and I’ll, the odds are higher that it’s Covid.

Ah yes, the new method of avoiding showing how ridiculously high the incidences of Covid, flu, and RSV are in the U.S. (mind you, ONLY in those who went to doctors in specific types of medical settings AND were actually tested) by not showing case counts, just status (increase/decrease/no change). 🤦‍♀️

New (additional) ALT by me:

Covid status of states = CA & ME (Declining); WA (Likely Declining); IA, KS, KY, LA, MA, MO, ND, SC, TX, & VT (Likely Growing); CO, IN, MI, MS, NE, NM, OK, PA, & WV (Growing); AR, ND, UT, & WY (Not Estimated); and everyone else (Not Changing).

Original ALT provided by Denis (the account in the quoted post):

A CDC-style U.S. map shows current COVID-19 epidemic trends as of November 18, 2025. States are color-coded by trend: dark purple for growing, light purple for likely growing, gray for not changing, teal for likely declining, green for declining, and white for not estimated. Much of the country is shaded in dark or light purple, indicating widespread growth. A legend on the right explains the color categories. Below the map, a summary box states that the weekly percentage of emergency-department visits diagnosed with COVID-19 is very low, but the overall epidemic trend is growing with a 95.43% probability. It also gives an Rt estimate of 1.05 and notes ED COVID visits at 0.32%.

New (additional) ALT by me:

Growing flu states = ALL but CA, KS, & ME (Likely Growing); OK & VT (Not Changing); and AR, NE, ND, SD, UT, & WY (Not Estimated).

Original ALT provided by Denis (the account in the quoted post):

A U.S. map displays influenza epidemic trends as of November 18, 2025. Most states are shaded in dark purple, indicating growing influenza activity. Several states are in light purple for likely growing. A few states are gray for not changing, while white areas indicate not estimated. No states are shaded in teal or green, meaning none are declining.

A legend on the right explains the color categories: Growing (dark purple), Likely Growing (light purple), Not Changing (gray), Likely Declining (teal), Declining (green), and Not Estimated (white).

Below the map, a summary box states that the weekly percentage of emergency-department visits diagnosed with influenza is low, but the overall influenza epidemic trend is growing. The probability the epidemic is growing is listed as >99.99%, with an Rt estimate of 1.30 (CI: 1.23–1.42), and ED visits for influenza at 0.59%.

New (additional) ALT by me:

Growing RSV states = ALL but OK & WI (Likely Growing) and AR, ID, ME, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, ND, SD, UT, VT, & WY (Not Estimated).

Original ALT provided by Denis (the account in the quoted post):

A U.S. map shows current RSV epidemic trends as of November 18, 2025. Most states are shaded dark purple, indicating growing RSV activity. Several states are light purple for likely growing. A few states appear white, meaning not estimated, and one state is gray for not changing. No states are shaded teal or green, meaning none are declining or likely declining.

I know some peeps have big stockpiles, but if you’re buying new respirators, remember head strap N95+ is typically more effective than ear loops (& some KN95 are poor quality—I recently saw a photo of someone in a too big & clearly loose one complaining of a recent Covid infection despite using it).

You wanna be TIGHT! 😷

A tight fitting respirator (carefully molded
around the nose with a strong nose wire)
provides a more effective seal and
head straps usually do the best job
(found in N95+*).

If you must use ear loops, modify them:
- add a tool that connects the loops behind
your head
- add beads to make the loops adjustable
& pull them to tighten the fit
- add knots to shorten the loops
- add medical/wig tape to seal the edges
of the mask on your face
- add the Fix the Mask brace
https://www.fixthemask.com

If head straps won’t stay in place on your
head/hair, wear a hat or hair band to give the
strap something to cling to or use a barrette
to secure strap to hair or, for long hair, use
gathered hair to prop strap in place
(e.g., bun, ponytail, braids).

*The + means N95 isn’t the best available
respirator. N99 & P100 protection is better.
N95 should be the bare minimum protection
in medical facilities/PPE standards.

SAFETY ADVISORY: No Ring for ICE this Halloween

Fight for the Future warns neighbors to turn off cameras

October 29, 2025 — This Halloween, leading digital rights group Fight for the Future is issuing an urgent safety advisory for Amazon Ring camera doorbells. In order to keep neighbors and communities safe, they must be turned off.

The advisory reads:

To preserve human rights and community safety, all people in the United States are advised to turn off and cover their Amazon Ring cameras this Halloween to avoid complicity with ICE operations and the deportation of immigrant families who are trick-or-treating.

Earlier this month, Amazon Ring announced a partnership with the notorious surveillance tech company Flock. This corporation was was recently exposed for secretly sharing camera data with Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) and with out-of-state law enforcement investigating people who travel for abortion care. As surveillance devices like Ring doorbells are increasingly being weaponized against marginalized groups, Fight for the Future is raising awareness ahead of Friday so everyone can take action to protect the privacy and safety of all trick-or-treating children and families.

For most in the U.S., trick-or-treating will occur Friday night (though some are starting minutes from now in the east time zone), but events may occur all weekend—and some of those events will increase the number of drunk drivers.

But many pedestrian accidents don’t involve drinkers.

BE SAFE! ⬇️

Risk 1: A Surge in Child Pedestrians

…Their small size and unpredictable movements make them incredibly vulnerable.

Many popular costumes are dark, making children nearly invisible after dusk. … A child's primary focus is on getting to the next house for more candy. They might suddenly dart into the street from between parked cars or cross mid-block instead of at a corner.

Risk 2: Impaired Driving

Risk 3: Distractions Inside and Outside the Car

Inside your car, you might be navigating to a friend's house or managing your own costumed children in the backseat. Outside, you're contending with flashing decorations, elaborate yard displays, and crowds of people on the sidewalks. Each of these is a potential distraction that can pull your focus from the critical task of driving. A split second of inattention is all it takes to miss a child stepping into your path.

How to Be a Safe Driver on Halloween
…
Slow Down Significantly: This is the most important tip. Drive well below the posted speed limit in residential areas. Driving slower gives you more time to react and can dramatically reduce the severity of a collision if one does happen.
Eliminate All Distractions: Put your phone away and out of reach. Turn down the music and focus all your attention on the road and sidewalks.
Be Extra Vigilant at Crossings: Scan your surroundings continuously as you approach intersections, crosswalks, and driveways. Expect the unexpected. Remember that trick-or-treaters may not use designated crosswalks.
Plan for a Sober Ride: If your Halloween plans involve alcohol, decide on your sober transportation before you leave the house. Designate a driver, use a rideshare service, or take public transit. Never get behind the wheel if you've been drinking.
Use Your Headlights: Turn on your full headlights even before sunset to make your vehicle more visible to pedestrians.

But now Noem is on record, which looks awful AND ALSO may help win legal cases.

Then it quotes the @gregsargent.bsky.social post that says:
Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light. That Sargent post then includes a link to a New Republic article with a screenshot of its 12th paragraph which says: That’s something Democrats have been slow to entertain: Picking big arguments designed to stoke conflict and controversy can jar low-information voters out of their algorithmic torpor and get them to take sides themselves. The alternative is giving right-wing propaganda more leeway to determine the prevailing political “weather,” as Brian Beutler puts it.
