The thing about the Brazilian payment system Pix is that it’s superior to US alternatives and Brazilians know it. Attacking it thus makes the US look like a bad loser. Pix succeeded because it’s better, not because of unfair trade practices.

I'm not linked to the PCC, I didn't invade your home, I did not speak to your daughter, and the Southlake Police Department told me that there is no open investigation regarding your police call after I rang your doorbell. I encourage you to retract these false statements.

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Mossad booby‑trapped 21,000 communication devices with explosives, sent them to Lebanon through shell companies, and detonated them remotely — killing dozens (including children) and injuring over 3,400.

• The devices exploded in people's hands, on their faces, and in their pockets.

• They did it over two consecutive days.

• On day two, the explosives went off while Lebanese families were at the funerals of those killed the day before.

• The attack inflicted roughly 3,000 injuries in a single hour on the first day alone.

This terrorist attack was the largest simultaneous mass‑detonation in history by the number of individual bombs.

'israelis' joke about it to this day.

If you didn't boycott Apple for the Congo, boycott it now.

Quem descobriu o esquema da produtora do filme do Bolsonaro com a prefeitura em programa de Wi-fi fui EU.

O Paulo Motoryon não teve qualquer participação na pauta.

🚨 EXCLUSIVO: o Intercept Brasil obteve mensagens, documentos e áudios que revelam como Flávio Bolsonaro negociou diretamente com o banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro um pagamento milionário para financiar “Dark Horse”, filme sobre Jair Bolsonaro.

Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, pagou pelo menos 10 milhões de dólares para a produção do longa, segundo documentos analisados pela reportagem. As conversas mostram cobranças por dinheiro, negociações de bastidores e a participação de outros intermediários, como Eduardo Bolsonaro e Mário Frias, ex-secretário da Cultura do governo Bolsonaro e roteirista de “Dark Horse”.

Neste vídeo, você ouve um áudio enviado por Flávio Bolsonaro cobrando pagamentos e alertando para o risco de paralisação da produção.

POR QUE OS CASOS DE HANTAVÍRUS NÃO SIGNIFICAM UMA NOVA COVID-19?

Diferente da COVID, sabemos muito sobre esse vírus:
- a maioria não se transmite entre humanos, apenas o Andes vírus
- essa transmissão entre humanos não “é fácil” como a Covid-19

E tem mais 🧶

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Hantaviruses are zoonotic viruses that naturally infect rodents and can occasionally spread to people.

Here’s what you need to know about #hantavirus: What they are, how they spread, the symptoms, and how to prevent infection

On Hantavirus: a (non-technical) thread.

Disclaimer: I am a biology PhD, but not virology/epidemiology. Husbandman is a virology PhD. But I’m told I’m good at communicating science, so here’s my take.

#Hantavirus

[Anvisa @anvisa_oficial]

⚠️ Anvisa suspende fabricação e determina recolhimento de produtos da marca Ypê. A medida foi adotada após avaliação de risco sanitário identificar falhas graves na produção. Confira todas as informações: https://t.co/O0jG8VGU5v

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Swiss authorities have confirmed a case of #hantavirus identified in a passenger from the MV Hondius cruise ship.

He had responded to an email from the ship’s operator informing the passengers of the health event, and presented himself to a hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, and is receiving care.

In line with the International Health Regulations (IHR), WHO is working with relevant countries to support international contact tracing, to ensure that those potentially exposed are monitored and that any further disease spread is limited.

The type of virus in this outbreak has been confirmed as Andes hantavirus by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases @nicd_sa, South Africa and the Geneva University Hospitals @hug_ge, Switzerland
The support of the Institut Pasteur de Dakar @PasteurDakar, Senegal and the Administración Nacional de Laboratorios e Institutos de Salud @ANLIS_Malbran, Argentina has also been critical in responding to this event.

As of 6 May, there are 8 cases, 3 of whom are confirmed as hantavirus by laboratory testing.

WHO will continue to work with countries to ensure that the patients, contacts, passengers and crew have the information and support they need to stay safe and prevent spread.

Better headline: "7 year old killed by anti-vax parents"

[Dr. AK 🇮🇳 @docakx]

The average adult human body contains ≈ 5 litres of blood. During late pregnancy, blood flow to the uterus increases to 600 mL per minute.

If bleeding from the uterus occurs after delivery (postpartum haemorrhage), the body’s entire blood can drain out within 10 minutes. This leaves obstetricians with very little time to intervene and stop the bleeding.

They therefore act immediately by inserting a fist into the vagina to compress the uterus and stop the bleeding. Otherwise, the mother may bleed to death within minutes.

Although other treatment modalities are available, manual manipulation of the uterus remains one of the fastest life-saving interventions.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.

It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.

Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.

Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.

The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.

It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.

The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.

When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

Hay personas que llevan en la voz la historia de un continente. @LulaOficial es una de ellas.

En un mundo que duda y se fragmenta, España y Brasil abrimos una nueva etapa convencidos de que nuestros países tienen algo que el mundo necesita: la fuerza de tender puentes donde otros levantan muros.

[Drew Crawford @drewcrawford_]

Brazil just signed 15 deals with Spain in a single afternoon.

The agreements cover critical minerals, satellites, and AI infrastructure built to last decades.

Spain is one of the top three foreign investors in Brazil and still needed this more than Lula did.

Brazil holds the world's second largest rare earth reserves on the planet.

Every electric vehicle, missile, and smartphone runs on materials Brazil sits on top of.

The U.S., EU, India, and China are all circling the same country right now.

Brazil's new rule: you can access our minerals, but you process them inside Brazil or the deal dies.

That one condition is how a raw materials exporter becomes an industrial power.

Brazil has not signed with Washington yet and is using every other deal as leverage before that moment comes.

The country the world called "the country of the future" for 85 years just started collecting on that debt.
