What is it about dogs and footwear. Icky!

Like most people, the Owens wanted to avoid an airline's checked luggage fee, so they opened up their suitcase to rearrange belongings. They were shocked by what was hiding inside a cowboy boot. https://t.co/TtPamWl5M3

There will be a joint community health fair on Saturday, October 16, from 10am until 3pm at Kelly Ingram Park. Local health, educational and community-based groups will provide Health Resources, Health Screenings, COVID-19 vaccines, and more. See below for more information.

This may be my favorite field guide ever. Trigger warning: not nice to Starlings.

Thank you, @CDCDirector, for overruling this tone-deaf ACIP vote, so it now aligns with FDA panel.

Her action might also be motivated by the terrifying front-line experiences she had with this dreadful disease (though she did not say this).

A lesson in good leadership

Covid-19 vaccine boosters can begin for some US adults as CDC partially diverges from its advisers' recommendations ⁦@DrJeanneM⁩ ⁦@DocJeffD⁩ ⁦@DrJeffreyR1⁩ https://t.co/ealfxTfe5K

After the announcement, who could have a diastolic below 90?

[JSRMD @DrJeffreyR1]

I suspect there will be a LOT of HCWs with BPs of 130/80 and/or revised BMIs > 25 which will be sufficient for a booster. But the reasoning after the #acip vote defies logic.

Might wanna wait for the ACIP but wow. via @NYTimes #GETVACCINATED https://t.co/gdudguly8G

[Jo Hofmann @JoHofmann2]

Great. Now the no-vaxers have another incredibly expensive option - what’s the point of preventing disease cheaply when you can get the deep state to pay $$$$ for treatment. #GetVaccinated

Gilead out w new results on remdesivir for just diagnosed #covid19 patients not in hospital, but at high risk of progression:

Says 3 days of IV treatment reduced risk of hospitalization by 87% by day 28 vs placebo

Appears similar to monoclonal antibodies, but 3 days of IV?

Has anyone done their own research on this earthquake in Victoria, or are you just going to listen to seismologists?
