This blew my mind. Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people. Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?

1. Remember that any attempt to paint Long Covid as psychogenic in nature deliberately and completely incorrectly biologically decouples SARS-CoV-2 infection from Long Covid. In essence, this rhetoric shifts the causative factor for LC from the virus to the patient's mind.

A thread on why the WHO's resurrection of a need for close contact as a condition for infections to transmit is a relapse into a Medieval model of contagionism long discredited by Koch.
Dr Satoshi Akima, FRACP@toshiakima.bsky.social · 3mo agoThere was an ancient debate over the origin of epidemics between miasmatists (non-contagious bad air arising in the environment) vs contagionists (infectious spread person-to-person). The scientific debate is over, but the political grounds driving the polarisation remain alive today. 🧵

The #Ebola outbreak exposes consequences of global health funding cuts. 🇺🇸 U.S. assistance to DRC reportedly fell from $1.4 BILLION in 2024 to $21 MILLION in 2026. At the same time: 🧪 labs lost capacity 👩🏽⚕️ health workers lost jobs 🚑 surveillance + preparedness programs were dismantled

Basta leggere i commenti alle news recenti, dall'hantavirus alla tragedia Maldive. La gente non è più capace di leggere, capire, pensare, confrontarsi. Figuriamoci quando ci sono di mezzo cose incomprensibile come la scienza, la morte e irrazionali come la religione.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 3mo agoA group of young men burned down an Ebola treatment center in Congo today. They were angry because their friend had died of the disease and the medical center wouldn’t release the body, which would have been dangerous. If you are thinking this wouldn’t happen here, you are mistaken.

🚨 BREAKING: H5N5 Flu Found in Polar Bear in Svalbard for First Time Experts Warn Virus Is Changing and May Spread Easier
Reports of unlinked #Ebola cases in Kampala and a case in Kinshasa are concerning. They are densely populated cities with millions of residents and major regional and international transit hubs. This creates opportunities for further spread if containment efforts are not rapidly intensified.
Helen Branswell 🇨🇦@helenbranswell.bsky.social · 4mo ago2. Four health workers are among the dead; health workers are always at elevated risk in #Ebola outbreaks. 2 cases unlinked to each other have been confirmed in Kampala, the Uganda capital. And a confirmed case has been reported in the DRC capital, Kinshasa. None of this is good.
I’ve been trying to understand what we know and don’t know so far about the concerning Ebola outbreak in DRC. Still lots of uncertainty at the moment but here‘s what I have been able to find out so far. Story is here (thread coming later): www.science.org/content/arti...

Eppure, pochi gg fa, mi sono sentita dire da medico specialista che sbaglio a portare 😷 perché co*id è solo un virus come tanti e indebolisco il mio sistema immunitario se non mi espongo 🤷♀️
Denis - The COVID Info Guy@thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social · 4mo ago"Why COVID could be to blame for the rise in deadly meningitis, according to scientists" Experts say COVID enters cells by binding to receptors, leaving cells more vulnerable to bacteria. This could help explain infections like pneumonia and possibly meningitis in some people after COVID infection.
