Im so grateful that my brother wore his #n95 #mask when he came over for a game of scrabble with my son and I. I feel so much more comfortable two way masking and then I have the air purifiers going too. And I feel respected. Wearing an n95 mask around those who mask is a great way to be supportive and helps stop #covid transmissions and surges.

Betsy Ladyzhets at the Sick Times has an article about efforts to make sure the CDC's #wastewater surveillance program continues past this fall:
https://thesicktimes.org/2026/06/30/wastewater-testing-is-vital-for-public-health-it-needs-sustained-funding-to-continue-beyond-fall-2026/ The state level programs and the one run by Verily depend on CDC funding. Right now, there doesn't seem to be a firm commitment to include the program in the Congressional appropriations process.

About Washington State: she talked to WA DoH officials about what would happen to the program if the CDC's wastewater surveillance funding went away, and they told her our state's program is fully funded to July 2027, and could continue after that with some reductions.

Es ist absurd. Wenn Leute eine Gefahr nicht wahrhaben wollen, verfallen sie in immer dieselben Argumentationsmuster.
Da schreibt Springer von "Es sterben nur Leute mit Vorerkrankungen an der Hitze" und man hört, das sei auch nicht schlimmer als "früher" (TM).

Fehlt nur noch, dass jemand fordert, Hitzerekorde seien nur auf die vermehrte Nutzung von Thermometern zurückzuführen.
