Measles is a canary in the coal mine (bc it is so infectious)

When we see measles, it reflects vaccination status of the population

first measles outbreaks will grow, then will see increases in all sorts of vaccine preventable infections: whooping cough & mumps for example

@nursekelsey We upgraded from Corsi-Rosenthal boxes at home to a pair of SmartAir SA600 units.

They are notably quieter with a smaller footprint.

We went through some serious wildfire smoke days in the last month and they performed really well.

Congrats to the Husky Coronavirus Testing team for winning the 2023 UW Excellence Award for Innovation. They deserve a ton of recognition for their tireless work making the @uw community a safer place during the pandemic, but why the innovation award? 🧵

👋I’m back. And I wrote about the current wave of attempts to downplay long COVID—less outright denial & more "it’s real but no big deal".

Except: it very much is. It’s a substantial and ongoing crisis that still demands our attention. 1/

Remember when the pandemic was over in June 2021, when we were down to <12,000 (real number) confirmed cases per day, and Independence was declared?
Then came Delta. And then Omicron BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.5
