Quick warning about a paper finding significant under-reporting of covid deaths using Machine learning tools in the US It claims 67% under-reporting for Alabama This is impossible given the mortality picture in Alabama vs expected from pre-pandemic mortality rate trend

Prophylactic antibiotics to wipe out nasophyngeal carriage does seem like decent containment strategy. Would like some more data from UKHSA on whether Men-b sub-strain involved does have any novel genetics, but I gather they are still working vigorously on that question. 💪💪💪

#meningitis ⚠️ ➡️🇬🇧 UK: Number of meningitis cases linked to Kent outbreak rises to 27 - 7 new cases confirmed as hundreds of students at University of Kent take up offer of meningitis B vaccination - officials believe that the current strategy of preventive antibiotics and targeted vaccination is proving effective - it remains unclear why this outbreak has been so large - there might be something about the kind of behaviours that individual people are doing. The other possibility is the bacteria itself may have evolved to be better at transmitting - so far, 600 meningitis B vaccines have been administered at the University of Kent’s Canterbury campus and more than 6,500 precautionary doses of antibiotics have been issued to students - all reported cases so far have a link to Kent By Anna Bawden theguardian.com/society/2026/m…

A new study reveals that Siberian peat fires account for one-third of all fire emissions – far more than previously estimated. 🛰️ Researchers analysed high-resolution Landsat satellite data and found that peat fires accounted for 33% of total emissions between 2001-2023, compared to just 2.39% in existing datasets. 🔥 The difference? Conventional sensors at 250-500 metres miss smaller fires and misclassify peat fires, whereas Landsat's 30-metre resolution allows better detection and characterisation.

🚨Crews at risk in the Gulf🚨 Just heard from a crewmember on one of the 3,200 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf. A ship called the local port authority requested permission to dock as they had run out of water. They were denied permission! Multiple ships are in the same condition, with stores, food and fuel running low. Ports are overwhelmed and security is such that they are refusing permission for ships to dock. Crews cannot get off and reliefs cannot fly in. What is being done to address this matter @POTUS @SecWar @SecDuffy @DOTMARAD @IMOSecGen @IMOHQ.

History is repeating itself. Great to see the failures of the past being recognised. Would be better to see people use our improved understanding moving forward.

These are the words we were all hoping to hear: “Initial guidance on preventing the spread of infection was flawed. It assumed the virus was spread by contact transmission, failing properly to consider the extent to which it was also spread by AIRBORNE transmission.”

@michaelzlin There is a kernel of truth in there, but also a lot of confidently-spoken untruths, such as sucrose sugar somehow being much better than high-fructose corn syrup. (I was born in the 50s, so I also remember the 70s. I remember driving everywhere and eating at McDonald's...)

Although it's click-baity, I found this video to be a good summary of why Americans are more obese now than in the 1970s. Car culture, office jobs, outsourcing meals, and the shift to online entertainment have formed an unhealthy environment.

@davabel Anthropogenic climate change is a thing, and represents an existential threat to humanity. But it is difficult to tie an individual weather event to climate change. The Montreal windstorm that took down trees (and brick walls!) had many confounding local factors.

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

As Americans see another defenseless people pummeled by the US-Israeli military alliance, public support for Israel has plummeted, as it committed genocide in Gaza, apartheid and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, and now the crime of aggression in Iran. trib.al/nuCtxEv
