PSA: Covid cases can be infectious for over a week. A friend with Covid is still testing highly positive on rapid tests after 8 days.
If your rapid test is positive you are still infectious. Stay home, mask up, ventilate indoor spaces so you don’t spread it to others.

She finally landed a job with a CDC contractor doing data stuff she’s trained on. Shutdown delayed her start a little. On Friday they RIFed the entire section the contractor works with, so she’s back to square one before her start date 👍
I know a woman who just graduated from a public health grad program and CDC fellowship. All this debt loaded up and the entire field goes up in smoke. Her backstop was a job at the school, but with grant cancellations that’s out too. Her republican mom: can you find something in the private sector

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Trump called republicans and threatened them not to sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files saying he would consider it a "hostile act" against him.
McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."

Only 2.2% on azelastine were infected versus 6.7% on placebo, suggesting the spray cut risk by two thirds with similar safety.
