With a severe version of mpox breaking out in the Democratic Republic of Congo, officials with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are warning that it could spread and that people at risk should be vaccinated as soon as possible. High-risk populations include men who have sex with men, although anyone can contract the disease, which is largely spread by skin-to-skin contact — sexual relations, for instance, but also in crowds at outdoor festivals. Thousands of gay and bisexual men developed mpox in a 2022 outbreak. People with compromised immune systems, such as those living with HIV, are at high risk for serious cases and death. “There are two main types of mpox: Clade I, the type that is dominant in Congo, and Clade II, a version of which caused the 2022 global outbreak,” The New York Times reports. Clade I is deadlier than Clade II, the Times notes, explaining that “a clade is a genetically and clinically distinct group of viruses.” No Clade I cases have been documented outside of Congo yet, but a global spread is possible, as the 2022 outbreak that affected Europe and North America originated in Nigeria. “This is a very important example of how an infection anywhere is potentially an infection everywhere, and why we need to continue to improve disease surveillance globally,” Anne Rimoin, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, told the Times.

I think my insurance plan might’ve ended coverage of the covid vaccine because cvs cancelled my vaccination appt and said it was because it wasn’t covered by insurance
#my ramblings#sitting in my car after listening to the voicemail just as I was about to drive out to it#giving myself a rage headache#ok. so who am I allowed to get this vaccine from. huh united. go explode forever.

My parents were not nice and didn't handle having a disabled child even remotely well, and even tho things are better between us now I still doubt their claims of unconditional love for me,
But at the very least they cared enough about me to vaccinate me against measles
#measels#anti vaxxers kiss my crohnsy ass challenge#as much as my parents are to blame for a lot of things they aren't responsible for my nearly dying of shingles at sixteen either#the chickenpox vaccine wasn't invented until after i was born and by the time it became a regularly offered recommended vax#i had already caught it bc someone thought it was o.k to send their obviously poxxed child to daycare anyway when i was ten#it was mild then but fast-forward 6 years later my immune system collapses and I'm 2 hours 2 death by the time the hospital admits me#and my hometown hospital wouldn't even let me into the e.r with 'just chickenpox' so we had to drive 2 hours to Indy's children's hospital#where i must repeat they told my mom had she just waited another two hours to make the drive i would have been D.O.A#anyway#vaccinate your kids#measles

I really hate the people who choose to come into the office when they are ill.
The company I work for are really good about flexible working and working from home, but there are still people who will come into work sick and then proceed to spread it around the office
Thanks to them, I have covid again
#it drives me up a wall#when I’m sick I basically hole myself up and avoid everyone#I’m fully vaccinated and do everything I can to avoid getting sick only for someone at work to come in and cough all over me

lying on the floor having an existential crisis as a puddle
#freebooter4ever#i am soaked there isnt a dry bone in my body#but its supposed to rain all day so#i am debating whether the traffic danger is worth it or not to drive to figure drawing tonight#leaning towards no because i also still have a full week before my vaccine kicks in#best to stay in and work for another week i think just to be safe#it freaked me out when my friend brian got covid#like he has survived all three years without getting it and he is in a service industry job so lots of contact with people#if he finally got it NOW cases must be high#and *paul* is coming to visit and i want to be healthy and vaccinated for when he is here bc who knows what he got from international trave

i have all these draft documents of half finished fics full of lines i love but that are so fundamentally flawed i can't figure out how to finish them and can't kill my darlings mercilessly enough to get past the roadblocks so i just reread them over and over and think damn this is kinda fire. wish it was anywhere near shareable.
#UGHHHHH 10k allydia fic full of dead end plotlines that lives in my google drive you will always be famous to me and me alone#allison is resurrected and i have this short bit about the five stages of grief vs the five stages of decomposition but idk if i can keep i#bc it works better if allison was dead longer. but i LIKE those lines............#i have like the barest of bones for like 6 different parts of the tw hunger games au fics......#scott one is at 4500k but i decided a while ago i need to change one of the main plot points and it's killing me bc that's like 90% of it#but i like the writing and it's like three scenes from completion!! but i can't bring myself to be happy with where i brought the plot 😔#SICK AND TWISTED!!!!!!!!!!#the tua fic that is my white whale..... reverse robins plot points plan and like four different false start documents......#the robins ghost au i never figured out a plot for....... the tommy dies instead of barb au........ THE JASON CARVER TIMELOOP STORY.......#i really like the opening i wrote for the jason time loop but that's all i wrote bc i realized i'd have to figure out a plot and rewatch s4#and like. :/ idk if i'm willing to do all that. for jason carver?? well.#i have this criminal minds fic where reid gets the flu bc he refuses to get vaccinated bc he's terrified of needles after georgia#and jj shows up to check on him bc she's also dealing w the georgia anniversary so she's desperate for proof of life#and it's like 80% done but i stopped super caring about cm a few years ago and now every time i remember it i'm like :/#i could spruce that up and post it if i really wanted to! it's not bad at all! but will i ever do that.........#OH MY GOD the like 4k i wrote from the POV of this girl stalking reid?? like i wanted to do a casefic from the unsub's perspective#i forgot about that one i was really invested in it for a while actually did a lot of research and really tried to make her sympathetic#shoutout to the random extra from that episode w jason alexander who i decided was gonna be Gwen The Stalker <3#throwback to my criminal minds era that was wild#anyways truly it is the allydia one the twthg xovers the reverse robins and the tua longfic that haunt me constantly#i always cycle between thinking about one of them on and off

They don't do covid vaccinations (:
#no of course not#why would they#it's completely irrelevant#who needs it anyway#i love life#it's absolutely amazing they don't offer vaccinations against covid anymore#i couldn't be more pleased#i'm not mad at it#it is fine#so very fine#i will not despair because of it#got an appointment for a blood test on Friday though#so i achieved at least Something#i will have to drive there myself for the first time#because no trains#probably will have to drive my mother to work and then to the doctor's office and then bring the car back to my mother's workplace#and walk home from there#because it's only like 2.5 kilometers but my mother has a lot of stuff to carry to bring to work#(and the weather is probably gonna be awful)#and the doctor's office is over 6 kilometers away which is not a distance i will comfortably walk#i mean i could#but I'd be stressed and annoyed and probably drenched when i arrive because it's probably gonna rain#it's an ✨️opportunity✨️ to practice my driving skills ♡#let's see it positively#void screams

3 Common Misconception: HIPAA Edition
(aka I have HIPAA tattooed under my eyelids and I want to make it everyone else’s problem)
This is pedantic, but the act protecting your health information is HIPAA, not HIPPA. One ‘p’, two ‘a’s. HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, not the oft-quoted (and non-existent) Health Information Privacy & Protection Act. Not a huge deal, since it protects your health information regardless, but it’s a pretty decent metric to mark if someone actually knows what they’re talking about.
HIPAA protects you from employees of healthcare organizations sharing your information without your consent. HIPAA violations occur when someone who has access to your medical information *as part of their job* either a) purposely accesses information outside of their job requirements b) shares your health information without your consent or c) puts health information in a position where it can be improperly accessed by others, purposefully or not. You can shout your medical information to the hills. People who you've told your medical information to can shout it to the hills, so long as they didn’t get that information through their job. People can demand that you share your information--but your doctor can’t hand it over without your consent.
Exceptions to HIPAA exist. There's quite a few of them, actually, and I’ve made a detailed list below the cut; but to correct the biggest misconception: yes, there are situations where health care employees are required to share your information with the government. This typically falls under mandatory reporting (think child abuse, gunshot wounds, or highly infectious diseases), but your information can also be accessed via warrant or subpoena for criminal proceedings.
Here is the government’s webpage breaking down the HIPAA Privacy Rule if you want to know more! I love love love HIPAA and will gladly talk about it for as long as anyone will let me (hence the cut below).
Detailed breakdown of HIPAA exceptions under the cut:
TPO: This stands for Treatment, Payment and Operations, because if your health info was on complete lockdown, no healthcare entity could function. Employees can access/share your info when that info is necessary for them to...
Provide treatment (ie: your nurse can share your info with your doctor)
Receive payment (ie: giving your info to your insurance company)
Maintain operations (ie: health data/medical records staff. This is me--as a health systems analyst, I can’t do my job without access to the data within the medical records system)
Public Interest: ie: when required by law/governmental function. This includes:
Mandatory reporting (discussed above. Healthcare professionals are required to report infectious diseases like measles or rabies, as well as incidents like gunshot wounds or domestic violence.)
Health oversight activities. These are the organizations who evaluate and investigate whether a facility meets safety/performance regulations and standards. Trust me, you want your info shared with these folks!!
Law Enforcement. I’m going to be really specific here, because there’s been a lot of (justifiable) concern post-Roe v Wade. Your info can be shared if it is is…
Subpoenaed, court ordered, or court-ordered warrant by a court, judge, or administrative tribunal
Requested by law enforcement to id a suspect, fugitive, witness, or missing person
Requested by law enforcement for info about a victim/suspected victim of crime
To alert law enforcement of a person’s death if the organization believes a crime has occurred
If the healthcare organization believes the information is evidence of a crime that occurred on its premises.
In emergency situations, providers can share information about the nature of a crime, the location of crime/victims, and the perpetrator of the crime.
Decedents: Funeral directors, coroners, and medical examiners all need your info to do their jobs, Being deceased, you can’t give your authorization, so an healthcare org sharing your info with them is not a HIPAA violation
Organ/Eye/Tissue donation: pretty self-explanatory. Some of your information as a donor might be shared to ensure a healthy transplant.
Research (limited data sets): This one tends to freak people out, but if you’re on one of these, anything that can identify you is removed (name, address, etc.). Instead, details of specific conditions/treatments are stored to provide data for researchers. For example, every state has, by law, a cancer registry--used to identify sudden spikes that might be attributable to environmental factors.
Serious threats to health/safety. If a serious, specific threat is made against a person or the public, this can be shared with law enforcement and the person who the threat is made against. There’s a lot of grey area here in what counts as a specific threat, and this can get complicated quickly, but if someone tells a medical professional that they are planning on harming you, you will be notified alongside law enforcement. Likewise for a bomb or other public threat.
Essential government functions. If you are in prison or other correctional facility, you are not protected by HIPAA. Some government benefit programs will require the disclosure of health information. (It also includes national security and military missions).
And last, but not least: worker’s compensation. Healthcare orgs have to share parts of your information for you to receive worker’s comp, as part of the verification process. Fantastic!
#I am here to make my rote memorization of HIPAA everybody else’s problem 😊#it’s so fascinating because HIPAA is ubiquitous in the U.S and also just. So misunderstood.#which makes sense because it’s not something you learn unless you’re in the field but it drives me bananas to see a certain type of person#be so confidently Wrong about it. I am gripping you by the shoulders. Vaccine mandates are NOT hipaa violations. I promise. Cross my heart#Epidemiological surveillance is your friend. Please trust me on this. It is beautiful and wonderful and necessary i promise#my job and degree is health information management/informatics so this is my bread and butter#i love health information!!#i love hipaa!!#my roommate does not. mainly because i talk about it constantly#but that's on them for signing a lease with me! they lived with me while i was getting my RHIA cert. they knew what they were signing up fo
