Hello, my name is Hamza Al-Absi, a 32-year-old from Gaza.
I am a husband and a father of three children. Well, there were three, but I lost my eldest son, Osama, two years ago to leukemia (blood cancer). He deserved treatment for a year and a half, took his chemotherapy, fought the disease, and had a recovery period, but the disease returned, he had a strong relapse, and passed away. I couldn’t treat him again due to the blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip, which even affected patients with urgent, serious conditions. They refused to treat him, and he died in the hands of his mother and beside his younger brother, Saif. My son could have been treated, but when his turn came to get the treatment, it was too late.
I cannot express the pain of losing an eldest son, and my wife still cries for him every day. It’s a continuous pain that never leaves us.
Since the beginning of the war, we have heard news of children being killed and seriously injured by the insane and savage bombing with rockets and shells, which has not stopped since the war began until today. But thank God, my wife and I and our dear children, “Saif, 3 years old,” and “Rita, one year old,” are still alive.
We were forced to evacuate our home at the beginning of the war against our will due to the intense bombing that our area was subjected to and the orders to evacuate the area and head to southern Gaza. Our house was bombed with war shells, leading to its destruction.
Our journey of displacement began, moving several times from one area to another, until we ended up in a tent in the “Tel al-Sultan” area in the city of “Rafah.” You can imagine how difficult life is in a tent. Everything is done with great difficulty; we are forced to use primitive methods to carry out daily tasks. Every day we light a fire to prepare food, and we struggle to provide water for drinking or bathing. Going to the bathroom is a suffering in itself for adults before children, in the absence of toilets suitable for human use.
The situation worsens with the arrival of summer and the rise in temperatures; the tent literally turns into a “sauna” during the day, especially since my little daughter Rita has started walking on the sand and suffers from pollution diseases, influenza, and other serious diseases that lead to hepatitis.
On top of all that, I lost my job at the beginning of the war and became unemployed due to the total power outage and the lack of internet connection most of the time. I face severe difficulty in providing for my family’s needs amid the crazy price hikes.
We have suffered enough and have been exposed to a lot of fear and panic in the past 7 months. The city of “Rafah” is now threatened with a ground invasion at any moment by the occupation, so I decided to travel and leave Gaza to save the lives of my wife and children.
Time is running out, and we need $15,000 to enable my wife and children to leave Gaza to Egypt via the Rafah land crossing as soon as possible, in addition to the costs of staying in Egypt for 6 months, estimated at ($6,000).
Asking for help is not easy at all, but we believe there is still good in this world. So, I hope you will help us save ourselves from killing and destruction and restore hope to our lives again. I have tasted the bitterness of loss once, and I do not want to taste it again.
We are grateful to everyone who will donate to us, and we appreciate your feelings and support for us.

A Covid Update - Eric Topol
For recent developments in the world of Covid, there’s a lot to summarize.
Along the long course of the pandemic I had so many people write to me (or post on social media) about its inevitability and that I should just move on in life, stop masking, and don’t worry about it—”you’re not going to die.” I never agreed with that outlook, since we’ve made steady improvements throughout the pandemic in preventing severe Covid and Long Covid, such that the longer an infection can be delayed, the better. Of course, I’d much prefer to never have Covid, but there’s only so much one can do to prevent that from happening.
I had received the XBB.1.5 booster in late September, but still got infected 6-7 weeks later. That’s not at all surprising, since the booster doesn’t do much against infection, especially after the first month, and at peak might suppress infection by only 30-40%. But it does markedly amp up neutralizing antibodies (and T cell response) and certainly would be expected to help prevent severe Covid.
The experience exemplifies how much progress that we’ve made along the way. But there are still 2 absolutely vital objectives that haven’t been fulfilled: (1) highly effective treatments for Long Covid; and (2) inhalation vaccines to promote strong mucosal immunity and block infections and spread, effective against all variants. There’s still much work to do on both fronts, but I’m convinced we’ll eventually get there. If only we prioritized these like we did to get the initial Covid vaccines (think Operation Warp Speed), we’d likely be there by now.

now more than ever please keep your cats inside (as well as dump out bird baths and take down bird feeders, also don’t touch wild birds); avian influenza (H5N1) has spread to multiple outdoor cats and a dog and is able to spread to humans. if you get H5N1, it has a 50% mortality rate and there is no current treatment. it is not very easily transmissible and you are extremely unlikely to get it if you take precautions, but it is still important to take those precautions. btw this isn’t meant to fearmonger, i just have not seen anything relating to this on here, and i have been keeping tabs on H5N1 because a relative who works on a poultry farm. it is not something you want to get👍

so i watched a recording of the space and for those unaware roier has been sick for almost a month and he said he likely got sick on a plane during the holidays to see his family when some people near him kept coughing on him. after the holidays and around ten days of feeling like utter shit with a fever and coughing he went to the doctor and they told him he had influenza, which is like a common type of flu that specifically attacks your respiratory system, after being diagnosed he got proper medicine and treatment. he was injected with stuff for three days and hes been making sure to eat well and rest lots. and now after almost a month of being sick he no longer has the virus but is still experiencing all the symptoms as an after effect. so hes still coughing and pain sadly. and said that its rough but now hes just waiting to get back to that normal state so that he can stream again
