“Given that nearly everyone in the US is believed to have had COVID, the 16% rate extrapolated to the approximately 340 million people in the country would mean that roughly 54 million Americans developed #LongCovid.

An HHS spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.”

Join me, @jessicamalaty, @LawrenceGostin, and Kaci Hickox to discuss the many problems with America's "no Ebola in the USA" policy and dangerous, unconsitutional, unethical quarantine plan!

@SecKennedy What war on protein?

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

This Ebola outbreak can be stopped. It will take a response that matches the speed of the virus, not the molasses of bureaucracy. The people who know how to do the work are in place elsewhere. It’s up to the rest of the world to give them the support they need, right now. https://t.co/MKfIMsZkHX

[LymeScience @LymeScience]

@JeromeAdamsMD It's another medical conspiracy theory, sadly one of the more destructive pseudoscientific belief systems that may be more dangerous than actual Lyme disease.

See the LymeScience Rogues Gallery and sections on Medical Child Abuse and victims of chronic Lyme quackery.

Food safety is part of infection prevention.

Cleaning, separating, cooking, and chilling foods properly can help prevent foodborne infections and support AMR prevention.

It is also a growing concern in the fight against #AntimicrobialResistance.

The 1957 #influenza #pandemic was the 2nd of the 20th century and among the deadliest in history. Why is it so poorly remembered? Join us on Jun 4, 6 PM US Eastern time @hood_college for a panel discussion with virologist @andrewpekosz after we watch PSA films from 1957!

Meanwhile, @LIFE has a wonderful article about the 1957 #flu that may stir your interest in the wake of several recent #infectiousdisease #outbreaks.

What is #AntimicrobialResistance, and why does it make infections harder to treat?

#AMR is one of the world’s most urgent public health threats. 🧵

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Ebola isn’t going to “go airborne.” Letting thirsty amateurs waste time with speculative Ebola fearmongering while deaths mount in the ongoing Bundibugyo outbreak helps the villains responsible for the suffering & death of thousands: the destruction of USAID & withdrawal from WHO. @SaveAmericaMvm

I can't take it anymore.
This fear of chemicals is pitiful.

Your body is chemistry.
Every second of every day.

Food, medicine, air, water - all chemicals.

Stop pretending “chemical” means something alien. It’s not.

Toxicity isn’t about the chemical.
It’s about the dose.

@peppermin5 The late 19th century does offer us several examples of portraits of #syphilis patients in different stages of the disease. This one from 1895 is of a girl in the tertiary stage, having contracted the disease from her mother.

[The Microbiologist of MMC now @hood_college @MMCMicrobio]

@peppermin5 After further investigation, I found that this photo was taken in 1895 by French forensic pathologist Alexandre Lacassagne of a woman suffering from #lupus vulgaris, a severe form of cutaneous #tuberculosis, not #syphilis!

"A #pox o' both your houses!"
What is this sexually-transmitted disease #STD)? Why was it so often mistaken for other #infectiousdiseases?
