Fell into a YT rabbit hole after hearing Chris Tin's Live Gloriously, the #CivilizationVII theme! Out by Feb 11 (PC & consoles - need to wait!). Massively excited! Here's Civ VII's opening cinematic, narrated by Gwendoline Christie (aka Brienne of Tarth). https://t.co/8tl03zWREb

Good job, @adrianlindayag . Thank you for your bravery in speaking out about this. You now have a very powerful platform to reduce stigma and advocate for better healthcare for #PLHIV. Oh, and congrats on your casting in #RentMNL2024

We're talking about the recent #baguiocity outbreak of gastroenteritis (this is now controlled), and what you can do to keep yourself safe. Check it out at @TheMedicalCity TikTok account.

Cases of #mpox are rising in neighboring Asian countries. Better be safe than sorry.

There might be confusion regarding what the end of the global health emergency means for us on the ground. #COVID19 as we know it is NOT over. The WHO DG explained it beautifully in his announcement speech: https://t.co/nGuDuAfb0s

[Karl Henson @karlmd]

@WHO has announced the end of the PHEIC status of #COVID19, i.e., it is no longer a global health emergency. Govts must learn to manage it alongside other inf diseases. COVID is here to stay but as someone who worked in the trenches these 3 yrs, this is an emotional moment.

[Karl Henson @karlmd]

This is kind of scary.
