Experts fear consequences of Trump’s restrictions on CDC as state sees one of largest outbreaks ever recorded in US

!!! Note that there has been word of the outbreak spreading to Ohio and communications have not been restored !!!

Please see below for CDC info sheet:

I reccommend masking up as it is an airborne pathogen - I.e. the transmission method is roughly the same as covid, thus following covid guidelines may decrease your risk of infection or passing infection.

I know we all hoped not to see them again but see below for CDC'S general respiratory virus guidance sheet.

[note: symptoms on this info sheet in the bottom RHC box is referring to covid. However, cross referencing with the TB sheet above indicates these are possible shared symptoms.]

Please spread information to decrease the spread of TB and help those who are in danger.

Comment, reblog, add. Resist these fucking facists.

I love ThriftBooks. Two of the books I bought to give to the interfaith center arrived NOT in Very Good condition, making them ineligible to donate. The Mr. Rogers book Going To The Hospital was just really beat up, and Cutie Sue Fights The Germs flat out has a page wited out with new words penned in??

[Image Description: a page of a children's book, with rhyming sentences that have been partially altered, which will be represented with <brackets>. "'Bacteria and viruses made you <feel> ill, to help you feel better I'll give you <a bit of medicine>." End I.D]

Some moral crusader took exception to the word "pill" it seems 🙄 I'm just glad they didn't write in "ivermectin", which rhymes with "ill" just as much as "medicine" does (as in, not at all). No idea what "feel" is covering up.

Anyway ThriftBooks got back to me fairly promptly with a refund for both books, I don't even have to return them. I'm definitely going to hunt down a Very Good or better copy of the Fred Rogers book because even tho the photos are painfully Eighties, the story is still solid. I'm gonna try a different book than Cutie Sue tho, the rhyming was meh and it wasn't as thorough at explaining germs and how up stop the spread of them as I would have liked.

So a mixed bag of the books I got, out of the entire bunch only 5 (4, if we're including the fact that one book is the same as another just in Spanish) are things i want to or can donate (the book on being a bipolar child was just. Not good. Can't get a refund on those grounds tho)

Anyway, if anyone has any good books for children about being a child with illness, disability, neurodivergence, or teaching compassion (that's not pity) towards those who are, or how to not spread illness around, drop some recs! I have a free book credit as well as these refunds. The age ranges for the kids are toddler to thirteen.

Many people across the United States are wondering if they will be able to get vaccinated at all, particularly against COVID, after changes

Crisp weather is popping up across the United States, signalling the start of fall, a new school year and, of course, respiratory virus season. But five years after the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, access to vaccines against the virus in the U.S. is on shaky ground.

The worst part about being a Covid conscious queer is the taste of saline + xylitol nasal spray migrating to ya mouth! The things I do to not get sick🤮

A Story of Two Chest X-Rays

One patient with a vaccine and one patient without. Version 2—for the crowd that wants specifics without violating patient privacy (these are published cases).

The top picture is of a 47-year-old man who received the Pfizer vaccine and developed COVID19 2 weeks after. He was overweight (BMI = 29), but without any known comorbidities. He had a runny nose, mild body aches, mild cough. His chest X-ray is relatively normal.

The bottom picture is a 50-year-old active female patient without obesity and not on medications. Her chest X-ray shows diffuse opacities, consolidations in both lungs with lung damage (all the fluffy white), and a pattern that looks like the worst feared complication of COVID19—acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). She needed intubation, mechanical ventilation, and ECMO (extra-corporal membrane oxygenation) – the most life support we can offer.

The mRNA vaccines are effective at preventing severe disease and death— even with the Delta variant. ICUs are starting to fill up with COVID19 patients again. This post was to emphasize that the vaccines are ~95% effective at preventing case 2 from happening. Of course, there are also mild cases of COVID in unvaccinated individuals.

Black lung tissue on the X-Ray is where the oxygen you breathe in gets into the blood. All the fluffy white is where the oxygen cannot get into your blood because of infection/inflammation, that’s essentially what ARDS is and the goal of mechanical ventilation/ECMO is to protect that damaged lung tissue and get the oxygen into your bloodstream and to your brain, heart and other organs.
