Alexander Zverev é o 1º jogador em 38 anos a vencer Roland Garros sem derrotar nenhum jogador Top 10 na campanha do título.

Pelo título ele receberá um prêmio de 2.8 milhões de euros, 14x o valor que ele pagou à justiça alemã para encerrar uma acusação de violência doméstica.

cdc never started relaxing covid guidance because "covid was over" it was to supply workers for non-essential normie shit ("thE eCOnOmy")

later on it was more specifically delta airlines staff kept getting sick so they lobbied the govt to force them back to work while still ill

If one person think SARS-CoV-2 means "common cold", and another person knows COVID-19 is a life-span altering vascular disease, we are living in two very different realities my friend

@LauraMiers I knew when everyone (including my public health colleagues) started saying “after COVID” that was the end of America.

[Laura Miers @LauraMiers]

@wildswim2 @kananaskinyeti @Nutri_Science_ I will die prematurely, along with my entire generation. The American Dream 🥰

[Steve Mullaney @StevesThrillers]

Oh, what a difference.

Apr 30th, I found this little guy in my attic, 2 weeks old, about the size of my hand, pretty much unconscious, and on the verge of death. I laid his little body on the bed while I put my shoes on to take him to the hospital.

He spent 5 days in the hospital. We don’t talk about the cost — but it was worth every penny.

Today, Jun 5th, he is healthy, happy, and has most definitely outgrown my hand. And that is a wonderful thing.

OMG So Arnaldi has a virus that is probably either Norovirus or COVID based on the description of symptoms and he's been in the same room with Cobolli who will now be in the final and no one is MASKED? I will be so pissed if Cobolli catches it!

[Roland-Garros @rolandgarros]

Due to a viral illness, Arnaldi has been forced to withdraw from his semi-final match against Cobolli.

Get well soon, Matteo 🧡

COVID Is Different

I get it. You think COVID isn’t that dangerous anymore. You think it’s just like all the other viruses now.

A lot of it has to do with the times you grew up in. We don’t have much memory of viruses and bacteria killing thousands of people. We don’t remember when it was common for families to lose at least one child to infection before WWII. We don’t remember the permanent scars smallpox left on peoples faces. What we remember are colds and flu. Fever, aches, a few days down. Then you bounce back.

That became our baseline for what “sick” looks like.

COVID came around. At first, people freaked out. Millions died. Then something shifted. It slid into the same mental bucket as everything else. Just another cold. Just another flu.

It’s not.

If you grew up in a second or third world country, places where serious diseases still circulate, you know the difference. Zika is different. Ebola is different. Polio is different. Each virus does its own kind of damage. We used to understand that. Now we’re making the mistake of normalizing something we don’t understand.

Flu and colds don’t breach your blood-brain barrier. SARS-CoV-2 does.

Flu and colds don’t shred your endothelial lining and increase your risk of blood clots. SARS-CoV-2 does.

Flu and colds don’t persist in your tissues. SARS-CoV-2 can.

Flu and colds don’t damage your immune system, causing low T cells. SARS-CoV-2 can.

Now we’re seeing signs it may increase your risk of cancer. SARS-CoV-2 may do this.

The list goes on.

Long COVID is caused by SARS-CoV-2. It’s devastating millions of people. Stop expecting it to act like something it’s not.

Want to break the mental spell? Go to PubMed. Search SARS-CoV-2 or Long COVID. Hundreds of thousands of studies staring you in the face. Tons of damage.

Maybe you’ve been infected a dozen times and you still feel fine. Will that always be the case? Don’t bet on it.

COVID is different because you can catch it every year. You can catch it multiple times in a single year. It mutates fast. Do you really want something that damages your arteries hitting your system over and over?

I sure don’t.

Wonton is thinking about how he's still available for adoption and he just doesn't get it. Where are his people, already! (Email Forgotten Felines of Huntsville at [email protected] to inquire, or fill out an application at: https://t.co/iVkY0u48r6 )

Tortellini is, indeed, still available for adoption. Her people need to hurry it up because her fur is so, so soft and it's not going to pet itself! (Email Forgotten Felines at [email protected], or fill out an online application here: https://t.co/iVkY0u48r6 )

[Sophia @sophiaelex]

I just want infection prevention, I just want the current danger to finally stop so we can focus on getting everyone affected the care and attention they need. I hate that everyday more people get it and that the damage keeps accumulating. Relentlessly. It’s pure hell.

i have to keep my circle tiny bc i’m immunocompromised and many of y’all would refuse to befriend anyone who needs you to take a covid test and wear a mask anyway

[Dr. Sean Mullen @drseanmullen]

The problem isn’t that people can’t understand the evidence.

The problem is that the evidence comes with consequences.

If they’re right, nothing changes.

If we’re right, they have to rethink years of decisions, behaviors, and beliefs.

That’s why denial remains the most popular intervention.

Calliope's belly, one week apart. I don't think she's quite ready yet but I AM feeling belly movement (have since, I think, Friday) which happens in the last 1 - 2 weeks of pregnancy, so the time is drawing near. Also, per the vet, there are 5 kittens.
