What is the status of our sensors in Durham? ❗️
Very important to note here that qPCR positives are not the same as "virus particles." It's much easier to detect viral RNA by qPCR than it is to detect infectious virus or intact virus particles (as the article correctly notes). This finding does have some big implications:

To @CDCgov Id love to read this article by @CDCDirector in @NEJM but alas it is out of reach to all but the wealthiest institutions When the CDC Director writes an important article, I would hope it would be in a format that is made available to all tax payers.…
“The evidence is equivocal on whether screen time is to blame for rising levels of teen depression and anxiety — and rising hysteria could distract us from tackling the real causes.” nature.com/articles/d4158…

Excellent talk by @DavarianBaldwin at the @SocialMissionEd kicked off with a spotlight on Duke’s role in killing the light rail, went on to touch on land, taxes, & policing. May we be inspired in Durham by the success of Yale Pay Your Fair Share campaign!
Seeing this come up again so once more: neonatal vitamin K is very nearly risk free and nearly completely prevents absolutely catastrophic outcomes in babies. Please do not refuse this intervention for your child- it could be the worst decision you ever make.
For years I’ve been interviewing data annotation workers who are the lifeblood of the AI industry. For years I’ve heard the same story: the platforms they work for wield total power, leaving them precarious & vulnerable to exploitation. A horrible example of this just happened 1/
1. Covid infects people many, many more people compared to flu and circulates year-round. 2. Influenza is also bad and there’s a lot we can do to reduce its toll. 3. Post-viral conditions are no less important because multiple viruses can cause them. 🤨

If you’re using HIV or AIDS as a punchline synonym for ‘worst thing you can imagine’ could you just not? 🙏

Breastfeeding can be wonderful when everything goes as planned but so very stressful for moms who try their best and cannot produce enough milk. So much pressure, crying baby, feeling like a “failure”, sleep deprivation, birth recovery, etc. This type of research is important.

Our New York City Virus Hunters tested a lot of milk from supermarkets in NYC for H5N1. No trace of genome or antibodies to the virus. With @Babagannoosh and @CMarizzi
1. Did you hear that scientists found dairy cows infected with HPAI H5N1 (Bird Flu), and have even found non-infectious fragments of viral RNA in store-bought milk? The New York City Virus Hunters from BioBus have been hard at work checking the milk on shelves in NYC.
Hearing the Columbia statement on WCKR right now. Really fascist stuff. That the protesters escalated through vandalism, and that the people occupying are "outside agitators".
columbia j school journalist ->
BREAKING: NYPD is around Columbia’s campus and people say they have seen strategic response group officers (Cannot independently verify, I have not seen them myself). In the event that a sweep happens tonight, I will be updating everyone live on my Instagram @/samaakhullar
what we will inevitably hear is that the police response was “professional.” this is because policing is *violence work.* it requires dehumanization to be “professional.” This runs counter to every beautiful thing we do in the university
@sophiacbess No. Sorry. I meant it notified me of reports of gunfire near me.
I’ve typed + deleted multiple tweets this wk b/c I can’t seem to find the appropriate words but as college students and faculty are being arrested, mass graves are being uncovered, my taxes going to wars despite my calls to my reps, I find myself in deep existential crisis.
And for the love of everything holy, public health officials should stop telling us whether to panic or not to panic. It’s not informative or useful. It’s not your job to tell people how to feel. Just provide timely, transparent information and demonstrate competent action.
Argentina gripped by one of the largest protests in 20 years: The cuts to free public universities triggered mass demonstrations throughout the country. english.elpais.com/international/… Argentine public universities only have enough resources to keep operating until July.
@angie_rasmussen @MichaelWorobey Thank you, this is a very helpful thread.
We know that if you don't want an outbreak to become an epidemic or a pandemic, it needs to be contained quickly. This news further shows that it has neither been contained and there is no evident rush to do so. This is both alarming and profoundly depressing.
3. If cows are infected and shedding virus while showing no detectable clinical signs of infection, then the epidemic (technically epizootic) may be much broader than previously thought. This is, IMO, very bad news that makes surveillance and ultimately containment much harder.
2. That further suggests that our current quality control for identifying milk that may be from infected cows may not be adequate. As best as I understand, if milk production drops or the milk is off in terms of color or consistency, it's excluded from the milk supply.
Very important to note here that qPCR positives are not the same as "virus particles." It's much easier to detect viral RNA by qPCR than it is to detect infectious virus or intact virus particles (as the article correctly notes). This finding does have some big implications:
#Breaking Testing conducted by the FDA on pasteurized commercially purchased milk has found genetic evidence of the H5N1 bird flu virus, the agency confirmed Tuesday. trib.al/5sU2zvO
