"Roughly one in ten hospital inpatients acquires an infection during their stay.
A patient who would have stayed one week may stay two or three.
As a result, as many as one in five hospital beds can be occupied by someone who was infected in hospital.
Those blocked beds back up emergency departments and delay care for everyone else."

About time this got addressed. I hope Australia follows.

My neighbours have discarded pansies & quality potting mix into our community green bin, to my joy. Another bin rescue & I'm in midst of repotting & watering & will have potted pansies & a vase of flowers. It's my day off, what a blessing to meet up with life loving beings! 🍀💚

Australia's indoor air pollution crisis: Doctors, scientists and parents push for urgent national standards in schools and hospitals. Great to see this as the headline story today. @DrBronKing @SaferAirProject @CO2RadicalAus smh.com.au/healthcare/invisi…

68% of my students absent today. Covid rates in my area “very high.” There is also a surge of early flu cases, according to county public health!
Multiple students emailed me to let me know they are sick, or their dependents are sick so they are staying home to care for them. 😬

Maybe “most people will be fine”, but at the moment there isn't any particularly certain way of working out whether I am one of the people who will be fine.
Or whether I'm one of the people who won't be fine.
Or whether YOU will be lucky or unlucky.
Best of luck with that.

I wonder why Prof. Iwasaki doesn't model respirator mask use in public any more. It's a huge disappointment for many of us in the CC community. If she knows how dangerous it is, why is a bare face acceptable?
Grateful to @NPR for the chance to talk about how stress and infections like COVID can stir dormant viruses in our bodies, and what that may mean for our immune system. Still much to learn, and I’m thankful to my team and colleagues for their work 🎧 npr.org/2026/10/23/nx-s1-598…

They are calling murder robots "next-gen search & rescue."
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

In essence, this is no different than running risky Gain-of-Function research on on a dangerous pathogen...
Uncontrolled H5N1 outbreaks on mink farms are a global risk, as Mink have α2,6 receptors similar to humans. The virus could evolve that infection route in Mink.

New: Little has been done to stop a bird flu outbreak on a Utah mink farm. Experts say officials’ failure to act is “irresponsible’’ and “astounding.” propub.li/47AsJDY
