@roomcguire Actually there may be a treatment available https://t.co/OnpdFg7buB

Vaccines/Treatments: you've probably heard there are "no treatments of vaccines" for the Bundibugyo species of Ebola.

There's been some movement on moving candidates along—including from Oxford to use the ChAdOx platform for a potential vaccine. Work on that is progressing, but would be many months away.

There's also a rVSVΔG vaccine—using the same platform as the FDA-approved Merck vaccine for Zaire Ebolavirus—that's being discussed, but would also take many months.

We have LOTS of Ervebo, that FDA-approved vaccine for the Zaire species, and there is some discussion about potentially using it here, since it *may* offer some cross-protection. The risk/benefits of that is outside my league...for more, go ask an amazing vaccinologist/immunologist nerd :)

On treatments, there are two monoclonal antibody 'cocktaills' that have promise, and will likely be used here. One by Regeneron and another by Mapp Bio. Doses are limited however, and there will be some logistical hurdles in getting these used quickly.

@roomcguire I would suggest some slight corrections. You talk about treatments not being available because of the strain. There isn’t a vaccine due to that but the treatments, essentially supportive care, can be used still.

@roomcguire Most surveillance includes laboratory testing for pathogens but that doesn’t mean it is molecular surveillance. In this case, you might know something about the surveillance in the Congo I don’t.

[medium warm @mediumwarmtakes]

@roomcguire Im not aware they were trying to do something like - officials sequence the pathogen's genes to trace transmission chains, monitor drug resistance, and identify outbreaks before they spread. (Google AI of what molecular surveillance is)

@facetedcarapace What does that mean?

@ka_grieco This reads like AI slop

@iwelsh Needs a little editing. This should be without, no? remember that even with nukes Iran can

New @ttsgpod (link in thread) -- we talk to Will Stancil about ICE in Minneapolis, following ICE and Border Patrol in his Honda Fit, and why he thinks we will win. Great episode.

@EoinHiggins_ Curb/Seinfeld episode “The package was placed in the hold of the aircraft, where it iced up, causing the detonator to fail. Realizing the failure, Schlabrendorff immediately flew to Germany and recovered the package before it was discovered.”

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.

It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.

ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.

Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.

I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.

New research finds people with ME/CFS have a striking deficiency in vasopressin - a hormone that helps the body retain water.

This could explain common symptoms like constant thirst and dizziness upon standing.

Let's break down the findings.

@mcmansionhell Feel better. Have you had sleep study?

Cardiologist and best-selling author Eric Topol has spent years studying what it takes to become a super ager — someone who lives beyond their 80s without debilitating chronic conditions.

His research suggests that almost anyone can do it. https://t.co/GzFz9oI5GC
