In October 2024, the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.1 % and the inflation rate was 2.6 %. Now, unemployment is 4.4 %, inflation has risen to 3 %, and we’ve added $3 Trillion to the national debt. The “Golden Age” feels more like the “Broke-Ass Olden Age.”

This is a case study describing horizontal transmission of Hepatitis B in a daycare. It turned out a child with some biting/scratching behavior was a carrier of Hepatitis B 😬

Note the study is from 1989! Such cases declined a great deal after ACIP recommended perinatal Hep B vaccination in 1991
Hepatitis B virus transmission between children in day care - PubMed
We investigated two situations involving hepatitis B virus exposure among children in day care. In the first a 4-year-old boy who attended a day care center developed acute hepatitis B; another child at the center, who had a history of aggressive behavior (biting/scratching), was subsequently found …

Did you know?

Kids can be affected by “horizontal transmission” of Hep B without likely exposure to blood or sexual contact

Most US articles on horizontal transmission are 30 years old

Why?

I don’t see anybody talking about the hit our teetering economy will take if 22 million are suddenly paying hundreds a month more for healthcare. That’s a substantial hit to disposable income and consumer spending ability. We will all pay for this, not just those of us on ACA.
Republicans said for months they had plenty of time to figure out what to do about Obamacare subsidies expiring at year’s end. During a 6-week government shutdown that ended last week, they said they’d talk about it after. Now, with five weeks to go before New Year’s, they’re scrambling and divided.
Republicans left the Obamacare cliff to the last minute. Some are regretting it.
GOP lawmakers knew subsidies were expiring and premiums would spike, but no clear, conservative alternative emerged.

This is how to do it. Democrats have to compete everywhere. We might lose, but it gets messages out and that’s always how to start.
Democrats scored big in school board races across Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio — flipping dozens of seats.

The party's candidates pushed issues regarding test scores and bus safety over debates about which bathrooms transgender students use and banning books from school libraries.
