#and spreading awareness of flu season

[halogalopaghost]

A very long time ago I was onsite EMS for an Amazon distribution warehouse that was 100% pickers on foot. We'd get people coming into the little clinic all the time that weren't sick, they were just mildly dehydrated.

In fact, this was SO common that I devised a strategy to combat this issue.

I printed out something like this

For every. Single. Bathroom stall. In the warehouse. Put them in binder sheets and fixed them to the inside of stall doors.

Miraculously, we did start seeing fewer dehydration cases.

There could be a lot more here about non-pharmaceutical interventions like masking, but some pretty good analysis of the climate of vaccine "skepticism" and disease minimizing we live in.

By David Quammen

Health officials would like to remind you that we are entering that time of the year still quaintly known as flu season. That means autumn to spring. Kids go to school, adults spend more time gathered indoors, people breathe and speak and sneeze and cough at one another, and the latest influenza virus spreads widely.

The reason flu season seems a quaint idea is that we now hear about and maybe worry about so many viruses all year. And well we should.

What if there’s a simultaneous surge of Covid and seasonal flu this autumn? What if infections of respiratory syncytial virus, known as R.S.V., peak at unusual levels, as they did in the 2022-23 season? What if the new strain of mpox, which is especially virulent, continues spreading in Africa and beyond? What if this year’s flu combines with the dreaded H5N1 bird flu and emerges as a nightmare flu? What if a novel virus destined to be called SARS-CoV-3 emerges from a horseshoe bat in a rural village somewhere, gains a few key mutations and comes barreling through the world’s airports?

Oy vey and déjà vu. It’s always virus season now. Maybe none of those worst-case scenarios will happen, but to assume so is to count on fool’s luck.

The notion of flu season is a relic of times when one virus could transfix our response efforts and dominate our collective consciousness. Influenza in 1918. H.I.V. in 1980s and ’90s. Ebola in 2014. We can no longer afford to react on a case-by-case basis. Today we need a broader vision. We need personal, governmental and technological responses that address the full spectrum of viruses that disrupt our lives.

Because they will continue to disrupt our lives. We live amid viruses. We eat them. We breathe them. We touch them on doorknobs and cafeteria trays. All the wild and domestic animals with which we interact, from mosquitoes to mice to the sparrows on the bird feeder and the monkeys in the temple gardens, carry their own freights of them in wondrous variety. Most of these viruses have no chance of infecting a human, but many do. The best way to protect yourself and your family is just what health agencies recommend: Get the vaccines if reputable ones exist.

The best way to help protect your community, your country and the rest of humanity is a more complex proposition. The answers range from public health measures such as better virus surveillance to ending our bone-headed science denialism and finally supporting pandemic preparedness. But it’s not my purpose to unpack those big topics in this small spurt of words.

My purpose is more modest: to refresh your awareness of something you can’t see, not without the help of an electron microscope. Even the human genome contains a sizable portion — roughly 8 percent of it — that was once the genomes of ancient retroviruses, acquired and internalized by our ancestors in the course of infections.

Viruses of concern to humans come and go on various schedules. American dairy cows began their flu season this year around March 25, when the first infections with bird flu were reported in herds in Kansas and Texas. Measles outbreaks tend to be seasonal but more complex. In the tropics they may peak in the dry season, while in temperate climates measles correlates more with school schedules. And now that warmer temperatures are welcoming tropical mosquitoes farther north and south — including ones that transmit viral diseases like yellow fever and dengue — people in Florida and Italy may find that their worst virus season is summer. Climate change is the new force applied to the viral calendar.

Each year another seasonal vaccine is offered because influenza viruses evolve and mix continuously; their genomes entangle like shape-shifting snakes. The most concerning threat is different each year. This year’s flu vaccine in the United States is what’s called trivalent, or three-powered, meaning it contains elements from three different influenza viruses, all of which are circulating and any of which may prove most pervasive and problematic. Manufacturing flu vaccines takes months, so calculated decisions, mixing science and foresight, must be made long before autumn. Increasing efforts to produce even more kinds of vaccines, including some that target multiple virus strains, signal scientific awareness of the point I’m trying to make: We know a virus might get us, tomorrow or next season, but we can’t say which.

Hence the need for a universal flu vaccine, such as one that’s now in clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health. Hence the need for a universal coronavirus vaccine, toward which scientists at the California Institute of Technology, among other places, are working. Hence the need to create combination vaccines that protect against Covid-19 and influenza in one shot, which are also under development in the United States, China and elsewhere. Hence the need to improve ventilation systems for public and private buildings, which can significantly reduce the spread of respiratory viruses.

These are urgent challenges, at which laboratories and public health authorities all over the world are laboring busily. Science takes time; applying its findings takes patience. Persuading the public to adopt behavioral changes — some of which involve a prick in the arm, some of which require placing community welfare on a level with individual independence — is a task that may seem almost Sisyphean, but it remains crucial and doable.

Flu season in America is no illusory concept, and I don’t mean to deride it, merely to expand it. Get the jab if you’re not disqualified by special health conditions. Don’t disqualify yourself by indifference or groundless suspicions. But bear in mind that virus season doesn’t end with the first swallows of spring. We’re in it for the duration.

Flu Confession (Daryl Dixon x Reader) 

Summary: This is in season 4 of the Walking dead when the flu spread. You and a few other people got sick out of the blue confusing everyone. While you were quarantined Daryl, the one of the few people who is close to you, came see and take care of you. ---------------------------------------------------------------

Day 2 of being locked in a police sheriff office. This time everything hurts, your throat, your eyes, your body, your head, everything. You felt extremely weak and lonely, you kinda was waiting to die at this point. As you sat in the room alone you heard a knock on the door making your head move up to see a shadow on the door tinted window. "Yes?" You asked with a dry, sore throat. "Y/n? Are you okay?" You heard Daryl's voice from the other side. "Yeah... I'm okay." You said as you crawled your way to the door and leaned on the door sitting on the cold floor. "The group right now is looking for antibiotics... Just hold on tight." Daryl said as he slowly rests his back on the door before sinking down to the floor like Y/n as she coughs more. "How does it feel to look like shit?" Daryl asked making me chuckle. "Amazing, never felt prettier in my life." I said sarcastically as I heard Daryl chuckle as well. "Hershel right now is handing out his whatever tea... He'll come over soon." Daryl said reassuring me as I played with my figures. "Y/n... I wanted to ask you something..." Daryl asked but Y/n didn't say anything back. "Y/n?" Daryl called but still no answer from them. "Y/n!?" Daryl asked again now this time extremely worried. Y/n though got knocked out from the pain and coughing and soon started coughing out blood which was the next symptom. Daryl without wasting another second started opening the door but it was locked. "Y/n!" Daryl said this time yelling, trying to figure out what to do. Suddenly Daryl broke the door knob leaving the door with a hole unlocking it. Soon Daryl opens the door and saw Y/n covered in her own blood from her mouth, pale skin, and suffocating from all the blood in her lungs. "Hershel! Hershel!" Daryl yelled as he picked Y/n up running to the cell rooms with all the other sick people. "What's wrong?" Hershel asked as he saw Y/n. "She's chocking!" Daryl said worriedly as he laid Y/n on the bed in one of the cell room while Hershel started inserting a tube down her throat making Y/n start shaking from more pain. "Y/n, I'm sorry." Hershel said as Daryl holds her down from shaking as he watched Hershel twist in the tube a air bag and started pumping air into her lungs to help her breath.

"I got other people to help, pump every 5 seconds." Hershel said to Daryl and handed the air bag to him. "Thanks." Daryl said to Hershel who look at Y/n then Daryl. "Take care of her." He said before leaving the two together making Daryl look at Y/n in sadness in seeing her in this much pain. "I'm sorry..." Daryl said softly as he continued pumping air in her lungs. "I love you... I get it, I'm a coward for not telling you up front. But... I will tell you soon. I want you to know..." Daryl said as he wasn't so sure if she'll make it or not... so might as well tell her while she's somewhat aware. - After a long wait, Y/n finally woke up to see herself in her cell room cleaned up and feeling a bit better. She soon sat up and saw Daryl resting on a chair next to her bed. "Daryl?" Y/n asked before tapping his arm making Daryl jump up and saw Y/n looking at him. "Y/n... Are you okay?" Daryl asked worriedly. "I feel a lot better. Are you okay?" Y/n asked worried as Daryl also didn't look too good. "Just tired... Hershel gave you the antibiotics and you got better." Daryl explained making Y/n get up from her bed. "Lay down, I can see your eye bags." You said helping him lay down on the bed without him fighting or being stubborn. "Thanks." Daryl said weakly making you chuckle a bit. "I love you too." You said making Daryl's eye widen in shock. "What?" Daryl asked confused. "Hey, I was in pain, not dead." You said sitting on the chair as Daryl was still trying to understand what's going on. "I'll let you figure that out bud." You said smirking at Daryl before kissing his cheek and slowly walked out of the cell room to go see the others but then you felt a hand on your arm.

Suddenly you felt the arm pull you in and felt Daryl's lips on yours. You soon slowly melted in his kiss and wrapped your arms around his neck. "I love you." Daryl said again in his kiss. "I love you too." You said smiling in the kiss.

The stance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on face masks has taken many twists and turns throughout the COVID pandemic.

After initially claiming face coverings weren’t necessary, the CDC changed course in April 2020, calling on all Americans — even children as young as 2 years old — to mask up. 

That September, then-CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield said during a Senate hearing that “face masks are the most important powerful health tool we have,” even suggesting that they might offer more protection than vaccines.

Those recommendations likely played a large part in 39 U.S. states eventually enacting mask mandates.

Now, a new scientific review — led by 12 researchers from esteemed universities around the world — suggests that widespread masking may have done little to nothing to curb the transmission of COVID-19.

Published by Cochrane Library, the review dug into the findings of 78 randomized controlled trials to determine whether “physical interventions” — including face masks and hand-washing — lessened the spread of respiratory viruses. 

When comparing the use of medical/surgical masks to wearing no masks, the review found that “wearing a mask may make little to no difference in how many people caught a flu-like illness/COVID-like illness (nine studies; 276,917 people); and probably makes little or no difference in how many people have flu/COVID confirmed by a laboratory test (six studies; 13,919 people).”

Next, the review compared medical/surgical masks to N95 respirators (or P2 respirators, which are used in Europe).

It found that “wearing N95/P2 respirators probably makes little to no difference in how many people have confirmed flu (five studies; 8407 people); and may make little to no difference in how many people catch a flu-like illness (five studies; 8407 people), or respiratory illness (three studies; 7799 people).”

The 78 studies looked at participants from countries of all income levels. 

Data was gathered during the H1N1 flu pandemic in 2009, non-epidemic flu seasons, epidemic flu seasons up to 2016 and the COVID-19 pandemic, the study authors wrote.

Doctor says review had some key limitations

The new findings seem to call into question the CDC’s enthusiastic embrace of widespread masking.

However, Dr. Marc Siegel, professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Fox News medical contributor, pointed out a key limitation: “The researchers focus primarily on randomized trials, but most of the studies that have been done on masks are population studies,” he said. 

“There are very few randomized trials on masks.”

In a randomized trial, researchers place participants in different groups and observe the results in a controlled environment.

By contrast, population-based studies measure outcomes in a “real-world” setting.

The study authors did admit to some limitations and a risk of bias, including the low number of people who followed mask guidance and the wide variation of outcomes. 

“The results might change when further evidence becomes available,” they wrote.

‘Be sure of consistency’ 

Dr. Siegel said he has never supported mask mandates. 

He believes that while masks might be effective on an individual level, they don’t work as well on a population level.

“If you’re going to mandate something, you’d have to be sure of consistency across the population, and that’s never happened,” he said.

However, the physician pointed out that the CDC never actually mandated masks — with the exception of a public transportation mandate in January 2021. 

“It was the state and local authorities that took the CDC’s recommendations and implemented the mandates,” Dr. Siegel said. 

“The recommendations may have been wrong, but the CDC doesn’t deserve the blame for everything. I think they were aware that masks may have value on a personal basis, but they got carried away with the politics.”

What do you think? Post a comment.

As of right now, no U.S. states have mask mandates in place. 

On Sunday, New York dropped its state-wide mask requirement in hospitals — leaving the decision up to individual facilities. Many healthcare facilities are currently still requiring them.

h/c prompt: Person A is sick and when they don’t answer their comm, Person B shows up at their door with a concerned look and some soup. QuiObi Writing Server challenge: Reclaim the Tag, brought to you by getting annoyed at pornbot spam in the tags [ao3 link]

Qui-Gon had forgotten a few things about caring for young Padawans and Initiates. He’d forgotten, for instance, that the seasonal infections spread like wildfire. Of course, a few years ago, he would simply have brushed it off. He certainly didn’t worry much when Anakin came to visit him a little flushed and snuffly. 

After Naboo, though, his immune system had been weakened, like the rest of him. He’d done well to keep himself out of trouble for more than a year, and recovered a great deal of his motion. When the tickle started in the back of Qui-Gon’s throat, he swallowed it down with a cup of tea and hoped it would dissipate. 

Still, he booked himself an appointment with Healer Che—just in case. If the last year and a half had taught him anything, it didn’t pay to be reckless with his health. 

Vokara agreed. “Be careful of your scarring,” she said. “You should be aware that in some cases my patients have complained of aching ribs. We want your lungs to clear, so I will not prescribe a cough suppressant—unless the situation becomes intolerable. That will be up to you to determine, so be mindful of your limits.”

Now, only a day later, Qui-Gon was extremely mindful of his limits. He was limited to his own bedroom, and mostly to the bed and the fresher besides. He was exhausted, and his ribs did, in fact, ache. The cough had begun in earnest in the late evening hours. Qui-Gon had had the forethought to make a thermos-full of tea for himself and stack a few boxes of tissues on his nightstand. He’d propped himself up as best as possible, and tried to sleep, but the most he’d achieved was a kind of foggy half-drowsing, punctuated by frequent, painful coughs. 

The situation had developed precipitously. Qui-Gon had taken it for granted that he would be able to rise in the morning and blearily make himself a simple breakfast. Instead, he was drifting in and out of awareness, stuck somewhere between sleeping and reaching for his comm to call Vokara and admit defeat. The longer he went without food, he knew, the worse he would feel. Already, the faint feeling of nausea was creeping up on him, an unwelcome pressure in his chest and at the back of his throat. 

But the comm was lost to him, buried somewhere in the soft folds of his comforter. It had chirped at him a few times this morning, taunting him from those squashy depths. Qui-Gon let it drift away, and tried instead to put himself in something like a healing trance. 

Maybe he had some success with it, too, because some time later he blinked his eyes open to his sunlit room, and heard the swish of the door to his quarters. 

“Qui-Gon?”

Qui-Gon stirred, pushing himself up from the pillows—only to ease himself back down into them when his body declared, in no uncertain terms, that it was far too worn out to sit up straight, and his head furthermore reported a disturbing state of lightness. 

Obi-Wan poked his head into his room. “Oh dear.”

Qui-Gon waved a hand and smiled. “Hello there,” he said, or tried to. He immediately brought a hand up to his mouth and hoped Obi-Wan hadn’t heard the strained note in his voice. 

“No, don’t talk.” Obi-Wan winced. “You sound awful.”

Thank you, Qui-Gon sent along their bond, with an ironic—albeit careful—head-tilt. 

“Anakin told me about the flu. He was worried he’d gotten you sick.” Obi-Wan grimaced. “Not sure I want to be the one to tell him about this.”

Qui-Gon couldn’t quite restrain a silent laugh, and immediately regretted it. 

“You sound awful, and you look worse,” Obi-Wan declared. “Did you eat anything today?”

Barely made it to the ‘fresher, Qui-Gon admitted, then looked at his former Padawan with an absolutely piteous expression, wide-eyed and pouting. I’m trapped in this bed. 

Again, he didn’t say, but the word scratched at the back of his mind like a lothcat at a door. 

Obi-Wan eyed him carefully. “I brought you some soup. Think you could manage a spoonful or two?” 

My savior, Qui-Gon said, this time without a hint of irony in it at all. I’ll even take commissary fare. 

“Yes, well, I’m not a monster,” Obi-Wan told him as he unpacked the takeout bag that Qui-Gon hadn’t noticed at first. “It’s from Dex—tip-yip dumpling soup. He says it’s good for all manner of illnesses. I asked him if he was peddling cure-alls now, but he just laughed at me.” 

Qui-Gon didn’t dare laugh again, but he did manage a smile, warm and crooked, if slightly pale. He caught Obi-Wan’s wrist and squeezed gently. “Thank you,” he whispered, because he meant it. 

Obi-Wan blushed, and ducked his head. “I’ll—get us some bowls,” he said, and retreated to the kitchen. 

But he was back moments later, tray laden with bowls, cups, and a fresh pot of tea, and Qui-Gon was warmed right through by the gesture.

The cycle played out almost exactly like with original SARS -CoV-1 in the 2000s: the discrimination, the global panic, and the denial of how serious it was. Facts are it spread and made it out to major travel hubs, but killed too effectively and wasn't able to become endemic globally to trigger lockdowns and mass quarantine. By then for places that were the hardest hit, it was too late for a lot of people. No vaccines, no proven antivirals, just fear and constant news about new cases, how it chewed through medical staff trying to treat and comfort patients.

All the anxiety after about swine and avian influenzas, foot and mouth, MERS, and other zoonotic diseases was because of that wake up about the speed of transmission and global health infrastructure that was used to localized outbreaks not being up to the task. There was even the whole spike in zombie and epidemic media that happened at the time which continued long after the pandemic ended in 2004.

For the last 20+ years since, places like Hong Kong and other major Asian population centers at least seasonally update if there's a change in the varieties of flu and other respiratory infections. The reason so many Asian countries have an established custom of masking is because they've been expecting potential pandemics and epidemics ever since and they never stopped cropping up. The dissonance was real because we watched it happen, and when most of the pandemics failed to really interfere or touch most people's lives outside of the outbreak centers it was compartmentalized away as some faraway, abstract problem for someone else.

The difference between flying out to HK before and after SARS was night and day. We had expected in 2004 to need masks on hand in case we needed them when we got there or worst case on the plane, there was still a soft one week isolation for travelers or if we caught something while in transit. Hand sanitizer was a travel-sized novelty we fit in our liquids bags for a two to three month trip because it was suggested on the advisory, no one was constantly masked or doing hand hygiene, everything else was same old. The culture shock started when people just silently started putting on masks before lining up at the gate to board; kids, adults, and seniors with whatever they could get from woodworking and dust masks to N95s and they stayed on except for food until we got to where we were staying.

When we got there all high traffic surfaces were plastic wrapped and/or disinfected like clockwork; personnel was always masked or shielded; a sneeze or a cough would draw a crowded queue's attention; while mandatory infrared cameras and thermometers were something you just had to get used especially at customs and crossings. Minimal pandemic awareness was cranked to "this is how things are for the foreseeable future," and it stayed that way for more than a decade. The reason why I remember it so vividly is because living in that environment even for a few months at a time was a constant awareness and jarring reminders that this could happen anywhere, in parallel to returning home and getting temporal whiplash to a time before the need for any of it.

COVID is not done with us, directly or indirectly, and the trauma will keep seeping out in new and unforeseen places because people want to forget. The privileged ignorance of not being affected is dead while the denialism is absolutely about trying to claw back the appearance of that bubble of security. Abandonment for political and economic convenience is the tip of what we've lost in people, time, and mental space/distance from it as an ongoing and present situation informing how we live.

I guess all that to say, keep talking about it and remember how we got here. At the personal level it's at least a step towards processing and understanding where we are.

it's practically taboo to still talk about covid but god i wish we could acknowledge the worldwide trauma it's clearly still causing in people. like, it's flat out just. not "polite" to talk about how a mass deadly event might, JUST MIGHT, emotionally affect us a little bit. how an airborne invisible-to-the-eye thing can just BE anywhere now. how abandoned we still feel by our respective governments. how we've lost family, friends, either to death or misinformation and cults, which they cling to because they're ALSO afraid but often refuse to admit it because it'd mean admitting covid is real and ongoing. we just. can't talk about it i guess.

The Influenza Therapeutics Market is projected to grow from USD 8,477.25 million in 2023 to an estimated USD 17,665.36 million by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.50% from 2024 to 2032.The global influenza therapeutics market has gained significant attention in recent years, driven by the rising prevalence of influenza (commonly known as the flu) and advancements in medical treatments. Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and can sometimes lead to hospitalization or even death, particularly in high-risk groups such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.

Browse the full report at https://www.credenceresearch.com/report/influenza-therapeutics-market

Market Overview

Influenza affects millions of people every year and can lead to a considerable number of deaths. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that annual epidemics result in about 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness, and around 290,000 to 650,000 deaths globally. The economic burden is significant, encompassing costs related to hospitalization, treatment, and loss of productivity.

The influenza therapeutics market encompasses a range of treatments, including antiviral drugs, vaccines, and other supportive therapies. The key objective of these therapeutics is to reduce the severity and duration of flu symptoms, prevent complications, and lower the mortality rate. The market has seen considerable growth due to increased awareness of influenza prevention, government initiatives, and robust R&D activities.

Key Therapeutics in the Market

1. Antiviral Drugs: The most commonly used antiviral drugs for treating influenza include neuraminidase inhibitors such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza), and peramivir (Rapivab). These drugs work by inhibiting the enzyme neuraminidase, which prevents the virus from spreading to other cells in the body. Other antiviral agents like baloxavir marboxil (Xofluza), which inhibits the replication of influenza virus, are gaining traction for their effectiveness and shorter treatment course.

2. Vaccines: Vaccination remains the most effective strategy for preventing influenza. Seasonal flu vaccines are developed each year based on the predicted strains of the virus, with formulations available in both inactivated and live attenuated forms. Advances in vaccine technologies, such as recombinant DNA vaccines, are improving the efficacy and adaptability of flu vaccines. With the increasing incidence of flu pandemics, there has been a push toward developing universal influenza vaccines that offer broader protection against multiple strains of the virus.

3. Supportive Therapies: These include treatments to alleviate symptoms, such as fever-reducing drugs, decongestants, and cough suppressants.

Market Drivers

Several factors are contributing to the growth of the influenza therapeutics market:

1. Rising Prevalence of Influenza: The global incidence of influenza continues to rise, with seasonal outbreaks and sporadic pandemic occurrences. The unpredictable nature of flu virus mutations poses a constant challenge, driving the need for effective and fast-acting therapeutics. 2. Government Initiatives and Public Awareness**: Governments across the globe are investing heavily in public health campaigns and flu vaccination programs to curb the spread of influenza. The WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regularly update recommendations regarding flu prevention and treatment, further fueling demand for influenza therapeutics.

3. Technological Advancements: Innovations in drug development, vaccine technologies, and diagnostic tools have significantly enhanced the ability to treat and prevent influenza. Biopharmaceutical companies are focusing on improving the efficacy of vaccines and antiviral drugs while reducing side effects.

4. Aging Population: As the global population ages, the number of individuals susceptible to complications from influenza increases, further driving the demand for therapeutic solutions. The elderly population is particularly vulnerable to severe outcomes from influenza, necessitating targeted treatments and prevention strategies.

Market Challenges

Despite the positive outlook, the influenza therapeutics market faces several challenges:

1. Viral Resistance: Over time, influenza viruses can develop resistance to antiviral drugs, reducing their efficacy. This necessitates continuous research to develop new drugs or modify existing ones to stay ahead of viral mutations.

2. Vaccine Mismatch: Seasonal vaccines are formulated based on predictions of circulating strains, but mismatches can occur, reducing the effectiveness of the vaccines. This unpredictability affects the success of vaccination campaigns.

3. High Cost of Drug Development: Developing new influenza treatments and vaccines involves significant R&D costs and regulatory hurdles. Many biopharmaceutical companies face challenges in bringing new therapies to market, especially with the rapid pace of viral mutations.

Future Outlook

The future of the influenza therapeutics market appears promising, with ongoing advancements in treatment options and vaccine development. The pursuit of a universal flu vaccine, which could provide long-lasting protection against all strains of the virus, is a key focus of research efforts. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened awareness of respiratory illnesses, likely leading to increased investments in influenza treatment and prevention.

The market is expected to continue growing as public health initiatives emphasize early diagnosis and prompt treatment of influenza. Emerging markets, particularly in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, are also likely to contribute to the expansion of the influenza therapeutics market as access to healthcare improves.

The southeastern united states contain the Atlantic Plain. The ground is made up of sand and clay and it consists mostly of wetlands and marshes. It's also densely populated by humans, and over the last 300 years, we've "cleared" a lot of it away. Thing is, when you dig up the marshes to build, you dig up the network of roots and plant life that keeps the ground together.

The towns are gone because the ground can't hold itself together. The earth was swept out from under them with the storm surge. If infrastructure still exists in those places, there's no telling what kind of foundation, if any, is left under to support it. There are likely huge pockets of empty space under anything still standing. Those power trucks weigh 7.5 tons; even if the roads were clear enough to drive on, it would be exceptionally difficult to do so SAFELY.

It's bleak. The next several weeks are going to be a slow roll out of just how extensive the damage is. Even worse, a hurricane of such magnitude will set off a chain of related disasters: tornadoes will be more common, flash flooding will lead to mud and/or land slides and sinkholes are gonna open up where those air pockets are.

Here is NOAA's guide for hurricanes. Unfortunately there's not much you can do to after the storm, but this guide goes over any information you might need.

However, since the storm is over, the most important advice I can give you is

STAY OUT OF THE WATER

Nearly HALF of fatalities happen after the storm itself, and many of them happen from going into the water.

Here's my incomplete list of things that will kill you:

Natural gas lines may have burst. Be aware of smells like rotten eggs

Waterborne illnesses, including flesh eating bacteria

Water moves. Currents can sweep you away, just like in the ocean

I don't care if you're Michael Phelps, you WILL drown if you try to swim

There is no way to tell how deep water is by looking at it; what looks like a puddle could be 12 feet deep. By extension,

TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN: the old adage for driving after a hurricane. Don't try to drive through water. Above bullets STILL apply when you're in a car

Fire ants.

Yes, really. When it floods, fire ants form a massive ball like in the ant bully and float away to safety. If you touch a floating ant island, they will swarm you. Looks like this:

Stay away from any and all animals. I know you feel bad and want to help, but

1, you can't even help yourself right now; the fuck are you gonna do with a raccoon?

And 2, animals will kill you. out of stress, out of hunger, because of disease, out of fear

Rabies. As far as you are concerned,

ALL ANIMALS HAVE RABIES

Every strange mammal is now a zombie who wants to infect you and doom you to the same fate

Literally, rabies is a neurological targeting virus that attacks your nervous system and brain

Rabies is a TERRIBLE and PAINFUL way to die

If you don't get immediate treatment after exposure, you WILL die. Full stop

If you experience ANY rabies symptoms it is too late for treatment and you will die

Here's what your death will look like:

First you have the worst flu symptoms of your life and nerve damage

Then it attacks your nervous system, and you will either have

Furious rabies: aggression, seizures, hallucinations, facial paralysis, hydrophobia, aerophobia, delirium

Or Paralytic rabies: weakness and paralysis that slowly spreads from the infection site to your whole body

Then you go into a coma

And then you die

Thank you for your attention. Try not to die.

I think they’re underreporting the sheer amount of damage Helene has caused. Entire towns are gone. 50 confirmed deaths already. Down power lines everywhere. Emergency responders are swamped. Stoplights are out. There’s a down live power line at the bottom of my mom’s mountain and the sheriff is like “yeah, I know. we called the power company and they’re not going shit.”

How to Stay Healthy During Cold and Flu Season

“Transform your life with our health and fitness resources. Get the latest tips on workouts, nutrition, and wellness to support your fitness journey.”

Stay Healthy: Understanding H5N1 and Its Impact on Food Safety

The H5N1 avian influenza virus has been a hot topic since 2021, raising questions for bird lovers and food enthusiasts alike. Millions of birds have fallen to this virus, which can occasionally jump to humans. This situation highlights the need to understand how it spreads, particularly through food sources. Let’s explore what H5N1 means for health and fitness, and how we can stay safe.

What is H5N1?

H5N1 is a subtype of influenza A virus that primarily affects birds. It’s been around for decades but gained attention in recent years due to its high mortality rate in birds and occasional human infections. While the risk for healthy individuals is low, awareness is key.

How Does H5N1 Spread?

H5N1 spreads mainly through direct contact with infected birds or their droppings. But here’s the catch: it can also spread through contaminated surfaces and food. Imagine handling raw poultry that hasn’t been cooked properly. That’s a potential pathway for the virus to spread to humans.

The Importance of Food Safety

In a world where the fresh food we consume can carry unseen dangers, practicing food safety is essential. Here’s what you need to watch out for:

Cooking Temperatures Matter

Cooking poultry and eggs to the recommended internal temperature can kill any lurking viruses. Chicken should be cooked to at least 165°F (75°C). Checking your meat thermometer is as crucial as checking your workout playlist!

Cleanliness is Key

Keeping your kitchen clean sets the stage for safety. Wash your hands, kitchen utensils, and surfaces after handling raw meat. Think of it as wiping down your exercise equipment—keeping your environment clean is vital for your health.

The Link Between H5N1 and Health

While the primary concern of H5N1 revolves around birds, it’s crucial to recognize how it impacts health and fitness. A healthy you starts with safe food practices. When you eat right and remain healthy, you're not just avoiding sickness from H5N1 but also building immunity to various illnesses.

Staying Informed and Healthy

Staying informed about outbreaks and food safety guidelines can help protect you and your family. Pay attention to alerts from local health departments regarding avian flu. Just like you wouldn’t skip out on your daily workout, don’t skip out on staying informed. It’s all about making smart choices for a healthier lifestyle.

Conclusion

The H5N1 virus teaches us an important lesson about health and fitness: our choices matter. By understanding how it spreads and implementing smart food safety practices, we can take charge of our health. So, let’s keep our kitchens clean and our cooking safe. After all, a well-cooked meal is one of the first steps in protecting your health against avian influenza and other illnesses.
