“This year's flu season is again starting early; the current flu activity levels are about four to six weeks ahead of when we usually see them. And with activity already at highs in many states, there's a good chance that we'll again see extremely high levels in some places—moving from red to the dreaded deep purple on CDC's scale, which we saw last year.”

Map is 11 days old. Wear those masks. Get those flu shots. Travel with tests.

Early Thanksgiving thought: I'm very thankful for all of you here; it seems all the thoughtful, kind, and considerate folks I knew on that other site (and many new friends) are here; for whatever reason, the attention-seekers, people-only-on-social-media-for-ego, and hate has not crossed yet into the Fediverse (or has successfully been defederated!), and for that, I am thankful. #thankyou

Rhetoric advocating violence against people who disagree is an abuse of free speech. It is an incitement to violence. Trump does have followers who will carry out his violent threats. He should not be allowed to get away with inciting violence any longer. How many people in America have to be injured and killed by the uncontrolled words of this aspiring dictator? Donald Trump is not above the law, and he is subject to the basic laws like everyone else. His threats have to stop.

That explains a lot.

“Infection with the coronavirus is known to leave behind a long legacy of health problems, many of which are characterized as long Covid.

But mounting evidence suggests that independent of that syndrome, the coronavirus also befuddles the immune system into targeting the body, causing autoimmune disorders in some people.”

@Coffeechai Current delay: Hamas never signed the deal; Hamas never provided a list of abductees it plans to return; deal is now delayed 24 hours to Friday; deal says cease fire starts only AFTER initial batch of Israeli abductees crosses over, so that for sure will be fine.
