My take on yesterday's MAHA Summit: There are now two MAHAs: Corporate, Trump-aligned MAHA and grassroots MAHA, which is being courted by Democrats like @AbdulElSayed. He just announced his "Build a Healthier America" agenda. BAHA?

BIG MAHA SUMMIT today at Waldorf-Astoria. RFK Jr and Vance will speak. I was denied a press credential due to “limited space.” Here I am, having been turned away. I’m 5 feet tall. I don’t take up that much space.

This is in many cases billing that is actually correct but AI is better than doing it than a human being

Net, it drives up costs.

But there’s also more AI driven denials.

This is a nuanced situation and the takes right now are all… not nuanced.

Devastatingly sad

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Sad update about Hailey Baptiste’s injury at Roland Garros.

Jim Courier just announced on the TNT broadcast that her agent confirmed ACL and meniscus issues.

She will have surgery soon & will miss 6 months of tennis minimum.

Her level was one of the stories of the year.

She just beat the world No. 1 a few weeks ago, reached her 1st WTA 1000 semifinal, and reached a career high ranking of #25.

Heartbreaking. ���💔💔💔💔

US Open: every ticket immediately transformed into a speculative asset

Wimbledon: inherit a debenture or sleep outside in a field

Roland Garros: a bureaucratic anti-scalping apparatus that ends with ‘cart error’ after waiting 4 hrs

Australian Open: yeah mate here’s your ticket

[Jason Deutchman @JDeutch]

Why are @usopen tickets QUADRUPLE the price of last year?

@Ticketmaster

The same seats that were $600 last year are $2400 this year???? That's insane.

And this is supposed to be @AmericanExpress presale???? WTF

Sharp intellect and irrepressible wit’ is obituary-speak for fabulous elite gay uncle energy. An undeniably important, one-of-a-kind historical figure.

RIP Barney Frank

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Breaking news: Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat who brought his sharp intellect and irrepressible wit to the U.S. House of Representatives and was one of the first openly gay congressmen in history, died on May 19. He was 86. https://t.co/sxdfZRDfBA

There's no vaccine to protect against #Ebola #Bundibugyo. But there is a tiny bit of animal data suggesting Ervebo, the Ebola Zaire vaccine, might offer some cross protection & debate within scientific circles & at #WHO over whether to try to see if it might help. https://t.co/EjR9T4LmF2

I hate it here

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

There is exactly one hantavirus that transmits between humans. It's been on a cruise ship for three weeks, and the ship is now locked out of port.

The MV Hondius boarded passengers in Ushuaia, Argentina. Gateway to Antarctica, southern tip of Patagonia. The Andes virus is endemic here. In late 2018, the Patagonian town of Epuyén, 870 miles from Ushuaia, had an outbreak that killed at least 11 people through person-to-person spread. The only known hantavirus that does this.

Every other strain, including the Sin Nombre virus that killed Gene Hackman's wife last year, requires you to inhale aerosolized rodent urine or droppings in an enclosed dry space. Deer mice. Dust. Stale air. No human-to-human transmission.

Andes broke that rule. The Hondius left Ushuaia three weeks ago, then visited Antarctica, the Falklands, South Georgia, Tristan da Cunha, St. Helena, and Ascension before anchoring off Cape Verde. Hantavirus incubation runs 1 to 8 weeks. The voyage was exactly that window.

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome kills 38% of symptomatic cases per CDC. Lungs fill with fluid. No cure exists. One UK passenger has lab-confirmed Andes hantavirus and is in ICU in Johannesburg. Five other suspected cases on board. Cape Verde will not let them dock. 149 people remain at anchor, including 17 Americans.

The doctor CNN interviewed said his first reaction was that the report had to be a misprint. It would have been, if the ship had departed from anywhere else.

🚨 I wrote for @statnews on the #hantavirus cruise ship outbreak and what it reveals about outbreak dynamics in an interconnected world.

The U.S. withdrawal from @WHO couldn’t come at a worse time — especially with @FIFAWorldCup on the horizon and millions crossing borders.

Global surveillance works because everyone participates. 🌍⚽🦠
