With 30-40% mortality, we don't need any other reason to avoid ebolaviruses like Bundibugyo virus, which causes BVD, Bundibugyo virus disease. Hear of LongCovid? Say hello to my little friend, LongEbola. 5 years post-infection (among 311 with full data): 52% still reported

Today, the pharmacist marveled at my Readimask. "Oh, conventional masks hurt my ears!" It's a failure of Public Health to expect people and staff to protect themselves and others when they only have uncomfortable respies to choose from. #GiveThemTheTools

[🚨 POR FAVOR AYÚDAME A DIFUNDIR — BUSCO UN ENSAYO CLÍNICO EN CUALQUIER PARTE DEL MUNDO 🌍] Mi nombre es Selva Alvarez, tengo 35 años, vivo en Colombia y soy Científica de Datos 📊. Hoy no les escribo solo como una paciente con cáncer gástrico avanzado (Estadio IV) 🎗️, sino como alguien que acaba de encontrar un dato científico único en su propio cuerpo que podría cambiarlo todo 🧬. Ayer, 21 de mayo de 2026, mi reporte de patología reveló algo extraordinario y muy escaso en el mundo: mi tumor dio POSITIVO para una proteína llamada CLAUDINA 18.2 🔬. Para explicarlo de forma sencilla: la Claudina 18.2 es como una "cerradura" 🔐 muy rara que solo tienen algunos tumores en el mundo. La ciencia médica ya inventó una "llave" 🔑 exacta para esa cerradura (un medicamento avanzado llamado Zolbetuximab o Vyloy), que es capaz de atacar directamente las células enfermas sin destruir el resto del cuerpo 🎯. El problema es que este medicamento no es comercial en Colombia 🇨🇴. Mi oncólogo me confirmó que mi única oportunidad real de acceder a esta "llave" es que una farmacéutica o un centro de investigación me reciba en un Ensayo Clínico Nacional o Internacional o en un programa de acceso expandido ✈️. Al ser un perfil de paciente tan escaso y específico en el planeta, sé que hay laboratorios y científicos en el mundo buscando activamente a personas como yo para sus estudios de medicina de precisión 🩺. Quiero que el mundo sepa que estoy lista 💪: mis órganos vitales (hígado y riñones) están completamente sanos, fuertes y funcionando a la perfección, listos para resistir el tratamiento 🫁. Tengo la juventud, la fuerza biológica y la determinación absoluta de pelear por mi vida y aportar a la ciencia 🦾. Hago un llamado directo a la comunidad científica global (#OncoTwitter 🩺), a laboratorios como @AstellasUS 🏢, y a investigadores de cualquier país que lideren estudios sobre Claudina 18.2: Aquí hay una paciente joven con el biomarcador idóneo 📑. Por favor, ayúdenme con un RT (compartir) 🔁. Un solo clic de ustedes puede hacer que este mensaje cruce fronteras y llegue al comité científico o a la farmacéutica que me pueda patrocinar 💌. Mis mensajes directos (DM) están abiertos para enviar de inmediato mi historial médico, resultados de los marcadores, bloques de patología o cualquier cosa que se necesite 📤. Colombia 🇨🇴 | Contacto: DM abierto 📩. #GastricCancer #Zolbetuximab #ClinicalTrials #PrecisionMedicine #OncoTwitter #Claudina18 #CancerGastrico #EnsayosClinicos #MedicinaDePrecision #Vyloy

Ebola cases have tripled and it’s getting worse. I’ve covered two outbreaks in my time — both terrifying. It’s disturbingly easy to catch it, and has a 40%-plus death rate. Sometimes families are boarded up in their homes to die untreated. It passes to humans through eating bodies of infected bats, monkeys, antelopes etc — bushmeat.

For the @nytimes, I wrote about how cruel and horrific Ebola is, as both a provider, and as a patient. I tried to reflect the science, and the profound sadness. Very grateful to my editor, who pushed me to make this more personal. I usually avoid doing so. For reasons that become clear at the end of this piece. Gift link: nytimes.com/2026/05/21/opi…

As of May 21, 2026, all U.S.-bound American citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) who have been present in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan within 21 days of arrival in the United States must only enter through Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) for enhanced screening. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will apply enhanced public health screening at IAD in response to the Ebola outbreak. The Dulles requirement applies to all passengers, including U.S. citizens and LPRs, who were present in those countries. Please be prepared for flight changes or cancellations. travel.state.gov/en/internation…

⚠️Test positivity ratio in the rapidly evolving Ebola outbreak is very high (38%). This indicates the outbreak is still in an early/expanding phase. This is going to get much worse before it gets better. Expect BDBV to jump many borders.

For the record, a truly sterilizing Covid vaccine would just take me from my current “Literally always 😷 in shared air” to “😷 in shared air by default, but unmask if there’s a good reason to do so, like a shared meal or an especially emotionally complicated social interaction”
