“ProMED is a fundamentally critical public health surveillance system. It’s provided key insight through major emerging disease events.”
And it is near COLLAPSE.

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.
The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇
After years of little #Marburg activity, there are currently 2 outbreaks underway — in Tanzania & Equatorial Guinea.
It is long past time for an update on the latter.

It is getting even more impossible to ignore the climate crisis. The fact that people in power still somehow live in denial, and actively move in the wrong direction, will eventually be seen for and understood as the unprecedented betrayal it is. It is just a matter of time.
Good news that the other contacts of girl who died of H5N1 tested negative. But continued vigilance around infected animals will be necessary. As Malik Peiris says the current H5N1 outbreaks are “a continuum of the same outbreak that started back in 1996” https://t.co/IrkGMkXw1z
H5N1 bird flu is very scary. @zeynep argues for immediate action. "This time, we have not just the warning, but also many of the tools we need to fend it off. We should not wait until it’s too late." https://t.co/ToBWOaV6NP
Avian H5N1 looking increasingly concerning, with outbreaks in every state (and around the world), spillover and limited transmission in mammals. Again, the problem is not surveillance but action.
