⚠️OUTBREAK WARNING—CDC warns fresh whole onions causing large #Salmonella outbreak in 37 states. Throw away any unlabeled onions at home. Do not eat, sell, or serve red, white, or yellow onions imported from 🇲🇽 & distributed in US by **ProSource Inc**. 🧵 cdc.gov/salmonella/ora…
2) Fresh whole red, white, and yellow onions imported from Chihuahua, 🇲🇽 & distributed by ProSource Inc—sold to restaurants & grocery stores throughout US. ProSource Inc. indicated onions were last imported on August 27, but imported onions can last up to 3 months in storage.
3) Do not sell or serve fresh whole red, white, or yellow onions that were imported from Chihuahua, 🇲🇽 and distributed by ProSource Inc.
•Check storage coolers and coolers for these onions.
•Wash and sanitize any surfaces that may have come in contact with these onions.
4) •These onions may have stickers or packaging indicating the brand (ProSource Inc.) & where they were grown.
•If you can’t tell where the onions are from, don’t eat them.
•Wash surfaces and containers these onions may have touched using hot soapy water or a dishwasher.
5) Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of these severe Salmonella symptoms:
6) •Most people infected with Salmonella experience diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps.
◦Symptoms usually start 6 hours to 6 days after swallowing the bacteria.
◦Most people recover without treatment after 4 to 7 days.
7) Some people – especially children younger than 5 years, adults 65 years and older, and people with weakened immune systems – may experience more severe illnesses that require medical treatment or hospitalization. cdc.gov/salmonella/gen…

⚠️NO RARE BEEF!—@USDA suddenly admits (after Q&A pestering) that 120F cooked beef🥩patties experimentally inoculated with H5N1 virus still had surviving virus.
➡️“Cooking to… 120° F did show that there was virus still in the cooked hamburger patty, although at reduced levels."
2) Initially the @USDA only stated that no virus survived cooking to 160 F and 145 F. But they didn’t volunteer the 120 F rare cooking temperature results! Only after more questioning did they reveal 120 F virus survival. But so many folks eat rare meat! 🥩 DISCLOSURE CRITICAL!
UPDATE—Solar Storm hits the highest level of G5, the first in over 2 decade, which could knock out power to grids and disrupt GPS. A coronal mass ejection of G5 was also what the infamous “Carrington Event” was in 1859. But it depends on magnetic 🧲 polarity of each CME wave. NOAA warned earlier today that CME storms tend to be even stronger on the latter half of a storm wave. Let’s hope the next two days won’t be as extreme as the Carrington Event. #solarstorm
3) We are potentially in for a wild weekend. We haven’t been hit with this many CMEs in a long ass time. Nor has NOAA alerted with a GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH in over 20 years.
⚡️INBOUND SOLAR STORMS—5x mega coronal mass ejections - CMEs - that can knock out power are going to be slamming at Earth 🌍 between Friday and Sunday this weekend. Earth has only been hit with 3 previous severe CMEs in last 4 years. But we are gonna get 5x G4 CMEs in 3 days!😳
2) Let this sink — this is the first GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH since 2005!
Folks - this is serious - it can knock out not only electricity but it can theoretically knock out airplanes ✈️ too!
3) Folks- it’s possible. Not only can it cause higher radiation and knock out communications, but a strong CME can knock out airliner avionics. “according to reports by aviation regulators, the issue is not whether it will happen, but when” 😳 thedailybeast.com/how-a-solar-st…
Things are not going well with whooping cough (pertussis). Childhood vaccinations plummeting in the UK 🇬🇧, and kids also have weakened immune systems post-COVID. And it’s not even autumn 🍂.

2) Also… let’s not forget the “m” word. Because masks do work if society takes it seriously.
3) unless we systematically solve the. chronic lack of public health infrastructure, new outbreaks will continue. We shouldn’t just learn to live with it.
⚠️New sudden outbreak of MERS coronavirus with HUMAN TO HUMAN transmission—WHO has put out an outbreak bulletin regarding 3 cases in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 who contracted MERS (with zero contact with camels). All 3 were hospitalized and intubated. Index case has died in just 11 days from the onset of cough and a runny nose. ➡️Here where it gets interesting—the other 2 cases, found via vigorous contact tracing—both likely contracted it from the index case in the hospital—one shared a hospital room with the index case, while the other merely visited the same hospital’s ER—but he was NOT in the same hospital ward as the index case! Given second case was in a completely separate ward of the hospital, it makes me think it was likely #airborne transmission.
Shouldn’t we all masking in hospitals? @CDCgov’s idiotic HICPAC committee that sets hospital safety standards meantime wants to water them down. Someone should share this with the HICPAC folks, thanks. And demand @CDCDirector to get serious about public health again.
2) previously, WHO’s Feb bulletin of Aug 2023-Feb 2024 only reported 4 cases, 2 had camel🐪 contact. None of the previous 4 had any linkages (ie no human to human transmission evidence). Thus, this new hospital-derived outbreak is concerning. who.int/emergencies/di…
3) it seems the Index case’s only overlap with Case #3 was on April 4th— the day they both went to the same hospital’s ER. But otherwise they were in different wards. And by the time the 3rd case went to the ICU on April 15th, the index case was already dead (died on April 11th). So it wasn’t ICU exposure. It was the ER—➡️why which why EVERYONE NEEDS TO WEAR MASKS IN THE ER DAMNIT! 🔥
