- In the 1st half of the 19th century 40-50% of children in US did not make it past the age of 5
- TB killed 1 in 7 people in US and Europe
- smallpox killed 80% of infected children

Infectious diseases killed Victorian children at alarming rates — their novels highlight the fragility of public health today
Between 40% and 50% of children didn’t live past 5 in the US during the 19th century. Popular authors like Charles Dickens documented the common but no less gutting grief of losing a child.

A single paragraph in Damien Grant's recent op-ed in Stuff I agree with wholeheartedly, lamenting the Covid-19 inquiry's report hasn't got sufficient publicity. The rest of the article is wrong on many counts, perhaps fuelling its spread on New Zealand disinfo/antivaxx/conspiracy Telegram ecologies.

Interesting thread, interesting piece!
If an #H5N1 pandemic starts tomorrow or in three months, there will be little mystery as to how it happened. The conditions are all there. They have been for a while.
So in some ways the more interesting question to me at the moment is: Why aren’t we in a pandemic yet?
Story here, 🧵 to come:

Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic started?
Some scientists examining mutations found in H5N1 viruses fear major outbreak is imminent but others says pathogen remains unpredictable

Just a little reminder that the South Korean president who just declared martial law was elected two years ago on a wave of anti-feminist backlash. Misogyny is routinely part of the authoritarian package.

Why misogyny is at the heart of South Korea's presidential elections
Disgruntled young men who resent feminism are the focus of candidates vying to be president.

Interesting that 2023 year 11 results attributed to covid disruption not the actual effect of covid on kids’ health. Provisional NCEA results show pass rates drop for third year in a row www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
