Thanks to Professor Vincent Racaniello for having me back on This Week in Virology to talk about RFK Jr. and the trashing of American public health, The Sick Times, the Cochrane ME/CFS Mess, a Norwegian Long Covid trial, "effort preference," etc.

Yes, bird flu could become airborne, human-to-human. As my collaborator Seema Lakdawala points out, we're doing the experiment now.

Could the Bird Flu Become Airborne? (Gift Article)
Scientists were slow to recognize that Covid spreads through the air. Some are now trying to get ahead of the bird flu.

[1/2] All that matters is CADR! Ignore things super-hyper-mega HEPA. Often times a filter that only provides 70-80% actually provides more clean air than a filter that is 99.97%(HEPA). I used a 16x20 3M filter taped to a Taotronic AP-003(with no internal HEPA installed) and got a 30% boost in CADR.

1/2 I live in a country where #AD is legal. A dear relative subscribed to have access to it once his condition got worse. He ended up not using it and died peacefully at home. I think the possibility of #AD gave him a sense of control in case of suffering.

It‘s off putting to see the arguments of
We'll all die.
Most people in places with access to #AD don't choose it.
Whatever the law allows about AD, we all deserve excellent care at the end of our lives.
Fund it. Improve understanding. Reduce the fear. All of that adds quality to living the last part of our lives.
Isn't that the point?

In Indonesia, small changes are making a big impact! The Keluarga SIGAP program is empowering families with healthier habits like handwashing with soap, better nutrition, and staying up to date on childhood vaccinations. #VaccinesWork #Indonesia #PublicHealth Learn more:
Vaccines, veggies and very clean hands: in Indonesia, three interventions are combining to improve health
A new partnership in Indonesia is aiming to improve three simple ways to improve child health: vaccination, nutrition and hygiene. It’s just reported its first set of results.

I‘m using my heart rate for pacing. Sometimes I notice a sudden short drop I can’t explain. Same with oxygen saturation which drops to 95% out of the blue and goes back up again. Strange (and fascinating!) things happen in #Covid #recovery #Longcovid

There‘s a lot of euphoria about this site which fully understand but we should not be naive that the more powerful Bluesky gets, the sooner it will be infiltrated by those that want to control narratives. We should be prepared - (and yes, my mantra is also here: „Block hard & early, no regrets“!)

I‘m currently 3wks after 1st Covid infection (had several vaccine shots) I‘m still very easily fatigued and deal w/ brainfog. Are there guidelines for recovering and avoiding long term issues? I rest and try to pace, but unsure „what is too much“ #longcovid #LC

I don’t know, but the case of the infected teenager with #H5N1 in Canada, now a child in California, both without a known infection source is giving me bad „maybe we missed something“ vibes. I hope it is just coincidence but I am also a bit afraid something is just taking off.

Our rapid assessment with patient samples: Yes, detection still works & sensitivity is comparable to earlier variants! Thanks to Meriem Bekliz from my lab for this timely work!
