• Diseases Making A Comeback

    From kmiller@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 21 19:18:31 2022
    2022 has been a banner year for global infectious disease spread — and
    it's not just COVID.

    First, there were the reports of little kids with mysterious and life-threatening liver failure across the US and Europe. Then monkeypox
    cases surged across the globe like never before.

    Meningitis has killed at least a dozen people in Florida this year,
    according to state epidemiologists, while a fatal parechovirus infected newborns across several states — at least one baby died in Connecticut.
    In Australia and Belgium, diphtheria made a comeback, and cases of the
    Marburg virus are being identified for the first time ever in Ghana.

    Then, just last week, New York City announced that there is polio in its wastewater, mirroring a highly unusual trend picked up in London's
    sewers in the spring.

    "It's like all the biblical plagues are coming back, right?" Dr.
    Madhukar Pai, a global health expert at McGill, told Insider.

    It didn't happen overnight, and it's not a direct result of the pandemic either, but disease experts agree: the pace of these infectious
    outbreaks is quickening.

    Pai and other top-tier experts say there is no single, "simplistic" explanation. Instead, there is a wide web of at least seven powerful, interwoven issues undergirding the trend.

    "It's definitely not something that we hoped would happen in public
    health, but it's also a situation which we feared might happen," Dr. Jay
    Varma, an expert in disease control and prevention at Cornell, said. "If
    you think about it almost like a sports event, the offense has gotten
    more intense — if you consider the viruses and pathogens that are out
    there — and our defense has weakened at the same time."

    Here are the top seven factors driving disease outbreaks in 2022.

    According to Walensky, it's because they spend too much time
    publishing to get promoted, and too little time doing. --------------------------------------------------------
    The agency aims to alter its promotion system so that it rewards
    employees’ efforts to make an impact on public health and focuses less
    on the number of scientific papers published. -------------------------------------------------------- https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/17/us/politics/cdc-rochelle-walensky-covid.html

    Meanwhile, until they get their scat together at the end of the day
    going forward, it's the responsibility of every citizen to literally
    pick a science using their personal calculus and metrics and lucky
    coin, and then bygod Follow It. It's the right thing to do while we transitorily wait for the scientists to efficaciously evolve a timely
    and efficacious consensus that survives for more than a few days.

    Why don't they just fix it! Damn scientists!

    According to Walensky, it's because they spend too much time
    publishing to get promoted, and too little time doing.

    The agency aims to alter its promotion system so that it rewards

    literally pick a science using their personal calculus and

    thing to do while we transitorily wait for the scientists to
    efficaciously evolve a timely and efficacious consensus that
    survives for more than a few days.


    It would be nice if those damn retrumplican nutcases would pick
    some science instead of head in the sand horse dewormer. But we
    both know that ain't going to happen as long as there's a handy

    Thanks, but it looks like the only thing they offer that might work
    right here in this cellular gray hole is the 4g LTE, and people who
    have been here in the past with Verizon have had trouble getting a
    good signal. I also know from first-hand experience that cellfone
    coverage maps are colored in with bullshit - at least they are right
    around here.

    The only reliable way to find out how well Verizon LTE data might work
    right here where I sit is to actually try it - and that's more trouble
    and aggravation than it's worth right now. I strongly suspect that
    Verizon LTE at its best right here might at least approach Starlink at
    it's worst. My phone uses T-mobile and their speed right here has
    decreased significantly for some reason unknown to me in the past few
    months.

    I think I'm just going to struggle along with what I have, and hope
    that I live long enough to get the FiOS to the home that my EMC is
    promising.

    Thanks, but it looks like the only thing they offer that might work
    right here in this cellular gray hole is the 4g LTE, and people who
    have been here in the past with Verizon have had trouble getting a
    good signal. I also know from first-hand experience that cellfone
    coverage maps are colored in with bullshit - at least they are right
    around here.

    The only reliable way to find out how well Verizon LTE data might
    work right here where I sit is to actually try it - and that's more
    trouble and aggravation than it's worth right now. I strongly suspect
    that Verizon LTE at its best right here might at least approach
    Starlink at it's worst. My phone uses T-mobile and their speed right
    here has decreased significantly for some reason unknown to me in the
    past few months.

    I think I'm just going to struggle along with what I have, and hope
    that I live long enough to get the FiOS to the home that my EMC is
    promising.

    But again, thanks for your suggestion.

    I just got it hooked up here so I'll see if it is worth it. They do
    offer a 30 return policy so I will have ample time to make a good
    assessment.

    You have a strong reliable signal there? 4g or 5g?

    It's a pretty strong signal (generally 4 bars on the phones) but I can
    see the tower from my window... maybe 1/4 mile away at most. Speeds have
    been steady at about 75 Mbps or so(they say up to 300) but it varies
    some with the time of day but nothing like it seems you are seeing.

    My phones are 5g but I suspect the modem is 4g. I don't know how to
    tell. I do know I can stream movies, play on the internet and use my
    phones simultaneoiusly with no problems.

    Me too. I hope I keep having it.

    It's a pretty strong signal (generally 4 bars on the phones) but I can

    I get 2 bars on a good day, and I have to take a road trip to see the
