A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…
And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

Babies who drink milk expressed during the day take longer to fall asleep if they drink it at night. Because (so interesting!) breast milk contains cortisol during the day and melatonin at night. newscientist.com/article/234…

Listen if this is it, just don’t sleep in your contacts, don’t use vis*ne, and do everything you can to undermine, ridicule, and ultimately destroy health insurance companies

A thriving community of practice/community of action needs an "architecture of participation". This includes making it easy for people to join in ("easy onboarding")& spaces where they can connect informally ("backchannels & watercoolers") blog.weareopen.coop/quick-wi… V @WeAreOpenCoop

SPH alum Barbara Ferrer of @lapublichealth: "Vaccines are not an equalizer."
She goes on to explain that unvaccinated people living in the wealthiest communities have a lower rate of hospitalization than people in communities with high rates of poverty who are fully vaccinated.

Looks like we're going to have a "Team of Variants" kind of winter instead of one variant dominating the others.
Main consequence is for monoclonals. Looks like Bebtelovimab won't work for BQ.1 & BQ1.1. For Evusheld, it's the BQs + BA.4.6 & BF.7

The CDC’s first weekly Covid report seems to indicate Covid deaths have quietly doubled.
This escalated quickly.
From October 18th to October 20th, the CDC reported 260,881 new Covid cases and 5,476 new deaths (though it was 5,111 according to the difference in totals.)

So again, New York Covid hospitalizations have surpassed Delta’s peak, no one is masking, there’s a Covid media blackout, and it’s only October.
Have a great day.

Governors have a greater influence on health than medical professionals because policy shapes health.
.@BrianCCastrucci recently presented at the @NatlGovsAssoc Governors’ Health and Human Services Policy Advisors Institute, where he and other experts discussed the importance of policy in sustaining the #PublicHealth system. nga.org/news/commentary/gove…

Right, cause this is exactly how ‘public’ health works… everyone on their own doing their own thing 🤦♀️…Its shameful that the public health discourse has been dominated by physicians and other assorted pundits who dont/cant/dont want to understand what public health is about….

"What did we find?"
School districts which removed mask policies had an immediate increase in COVID cases in both students and staff.
This increase in cases got bigger over the next 10 weeks.
ALT Figure 3 from the linked pre-print showing COVID cases comparing districts which did and did not remove mask policies. The districts have similar rates until the policies are removed, at which point cases in students and staff increase in schools without policies.

Read the damn room— whenever countless long time public health advocates like @uche_blackstock and epidemiologists are cancelling their APHA membership in protest and willing to die on this hill, you know APHA is on the wrong side of history. Will @GeorgesBenjami7 do right thing?

This is what living with COVID looks like. Nothing like the normal I remember.
At least 14,000 domestic flights were canceled or delayed in the United States this past weekend because of staffing issues for airlines. wbtv.com/2022/06/21/charlott…

IMPORTANT NEW DATA
"AM I INFECTIOUS?"
Rapid Tests remain the best to answer this!
Rapid Tests are VERY Sensitive AND Specific for infectious virus
PCR is Sensitive but *NOT* Specific
(PCR creates many false Pos results when the question is "do I have infectious virus?")

The Governor strips state funding for abortions in the event of gross fetal abnormalities, telling pregnant Medicaid recipients with a devastating diagnosis that they're on their own. I’ve fought this amendment for years, and will do so again tomorrow.
