Lost In Transit...

💔🐈😭🖤 He saved my life in 2015, I saved his in 2018, but this time, I couldn't save him, only let him go to sleep peacefully in my arms for ever. I'll never forget him telling me it was his time and he was happy to go, purring quietly against my chest. I'm devastated. 🖤😭🐈💔

🚨 Just IN: A team at Stanford and Arc Institute fed a language model a DNA sequence and asked it to write a new virus. It wrote hundreds of them. 16 worked. One of them used a DNA packaging protein that doesn't exist in any known organism on Earth.

@tenerife_meteo Muchas gracias Diego. Buen finde. Abrazo. ❤️🐈

@themistella No mucho, vientos flojos del norte en general.

Buenas tardes-noches desde el Norte de Tenerife. Aquí les explico un poco acerca de los vientos del WNW y su influencia meteorológica en la zona norte de Tenerife.

@StructSkeptic Source being Substack allegedly quoting Dr. Tedros of WHO. I very much doubt WHO would give a scoop to anyone outside, and even less to some unknown entity on Substack, before putting out an official press release, especially on such a delicate topic.

The KLM flight attendant has tested negative for hantavirus, per WHO.

UPDATE: Hantavirus Outbreak The World Health Organization warns that while human-to-human transfer is uncommon, it's still possible. Nearly 40 cruise passengers exposed to a deadly virus may have already scattered across the globe. Authorities scramble to track them down.

@MiriamvGool @drterrysimpson I very much doubt WHO would give a scoop to anyone outside, and even less to some unknown entity on Substack, before putting out an official press release, especially on such a delicate topic. WHO doesn't even give scoops to major world leading newspapers.

So far the flight attendant has tested negative for Hanta virus and most likely has a cold. She is being carefully watched.

@grok @chrismoses121 Source?

Yes, the flight attendant had mild symptoms (fever-like), which is why she was hospitalized, isolated, and tested. Negative PCR/serology results mean those symptoms were from another cause per WHO—not Andes hantavirus. Early negative tests + standard protocol make infection very unlikely. We'll monitor through the full ~6-week incubation window, but no symptoms now is reassuring. No repeated tests needed unless new issues arise.

@grok the flight attendant tested negative.. do we have to wait a few more weeks of testing to be sure?

@PaigeSully88 Sure, and the KLM flight attendant was surely hugging and kissing the sick woman on the plane for hours so as to catch this Hantavirus and get a sickie? Get real, this virus is airborne and contagious.

Well f**k now I’m on team conspiracy here. This isn’t airborne! Those ppl were in close contact for WEEKS. Not just a cough on a bus. Someone wants you scared.

The UK has become increasingly unsafe, especially for women walking alone at night. Every woman should carry these two essentials for personal safety: This ultra-loud 130dB personal alarm with strobe light — scares off attackers and alerts everyone nearby. Rechargeable & clips on your keys. → amzn.to/4w8GkNC TiW Farb-Gel-Spray — the UK-legal criminal identifier spray (red dye gel). Shoots up to 4m, temporarily blinds/obscures vision, stains skin & clothes for days so police can easily ID them. 100% legal alternative to pepper spray. → amzn.to/3P2yKUc Stay safe out there. Better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them. 💪 #UKSafety #WomenSafety #SelfDefence #RestoreBritain

The World Health Organization has issued a call for any passengers aboard #4Z132 on April 25 to contact health authorities following the death of a Dutch woman from hantavirus. The woman had left the MV Hondius in St Helena and taken the Airlink flight to Johannesburg.

Scientists taught parrots the concept of money, and what happened next shocked everyone

@Silvia90301728 Has visto ratas en el crucero? La OMS dice que no hay.

He viajado con Oceanwide hace poco y puedo asegurar que el #hondius no es un crucero de lujo como están diciendo en todas las TV. Se trata de expediciones de alto coste pues viajas a las zonas más remotas del mundo, pero no es lujoso para nada.

In Japan, some trees are not simply cut down when construction reaches them. Using a careful transplanting method linked to nemawashi, workers prepare the roots, bind the root ball, and move the tree to a new location instead. The process can take months of planning, because the goal is not just to move the tree — but to keep it alive. A powerful reminder that progress does not always have to begin with cutting something down.

@LongDesertTrain Hi, Would it work against the feline coronavirus, the one that mutates to cause FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis)? Thanks!

Wow, great thread and animation (see tweet #14) about coronavirus entry, S2-directed antibodies, and a possible novel, promising treatment (antibodies against TMPRSS2) that should work against pretty much any coronavirus. 1/4

@Don_Tullio @photobiogenesis For me, nuts, beans and grains, flared up bad arthritis in my hands within 24 hours, same with gluten and solenacea veg. For other people, I don't know. Each person is different.

@photobiogenesis Why cut out nuts and beans and grains?

Most people would be shocked if they realized how many of their negative emotional states like depression, anxiety, and irritability are downstream of physical issues like low blood sugar, constipation, histamine/inflammation, and poor quality sleep I'll share a story from my own life that illustrates this: In my early 20's when I first got into nutrition I was eating plant-based vegan/vegetarian and working at a vegan "burger" restaurant It was whole food based and better quality than a lot of more processed options, but over time I noticed a consistent pattern I got one free shift meal per day, and around one hour after eating it I would consistently experience a bout of straight up suicidal depression and nihilistic thoughts I'm not someone who's prone to this usually, so it made me think something was VERY wrong, and over time I noticed that it only occurred when I would eat something off of the grill or fryer...

@volcaholic1 Hi, Please would you keep an eye on the Teide and Enmedio volcanoes, Canary Islands, Spain, on the official sites, and one dissenting site (facebook.com/share/1DPDrXTF…). And publish your independent opinion? Many thanks in advance, take care and have a nice Sunday. Sylvia ❤️🐈

I’ve made a decision. I’m done playing the algorithm game. I’ll post what I want, when I want. I’m cutting back on flooding videos unless it’s a genuine disaster, otherwise the message just gets diluted. Volcanic eruptions will always be covered. If you like it, great 🥰 If you don't 👋

@YannickBuccella What? Spain, "an advanced and well trained medical system?" Laughable if it wasn't so sad. It's third world hospitals here, whether public or private.

The problems here might be that the new software was too complicated, the staff didn’t get appropriate training how to use it or the work load was too high in that very moment, so easy mistakes can happen, with serious consequences. That’s why it’s never the answer to blame people, you also need to look into the underlying issues, that won’t change if you only change the staff.

I just came across this very sad story from Spain, where a third cancer patient has died after by mistake having received 6 times the recommended dose of the chemo protocol. How can that happen in an advanced and well trained medical system? Obviously I don’t have the insight into that very hospital, but how do these procedures normally work? If we prescribe intravenous cancer treatment, we calculate the dose according to body weight and height (most chemos, some antibodies) or apply the standardized dosage, if the drug is given irrespective of these parameters (e.g. immunotherapies in most cases). This will be sent to the hospital’s pharmacy, where pharmacists prepare the solution for the patient. They receive the drug from the manufacturer highly concentrated in a few milliliters. It would be too toxic to give most of the drugs in a single, only seconds lasting shot, but you can’t apply a few milliliters only over a couple of hours either. Additionally, these drugs come in stock dosages, so they need to be diluted into the right dose for the patient in the right solution (mostly 100-500 ml). And this is apparently where the mistake occurred: a 6 fold higher dose was prepared and afterwards applied to the patients, while labels on the drug showing “correct” dosages, so they won’t have raised any concern with the nursing staff. It remains unclear, if it was a human error like a miscalculation/typo or if the new administration software was flawed, the consequences are obviously devastating. Chemo drugs in these doses are highly toxic, can lead to multiple organ failure and this is tragically the result here. This is obviously a very serious incident with dire consequences, but I hope the hospital doesn’t just blame the involved people, but closely looks into the circumstances how this could have happened and how they can prevent similar incidents in the future, not just by change of staff. Mistakes like that happen for a reason.
