2/ The current Ebola outbreak is related to what's known as the "Sudan strain," but the virus is spreading in Uganda. "It's worrisome because previous Ebola vaccines & treatments do not work against this strain. The virus can kill as many as 1/2 of those MORE
3/ who get it. Ebola now is spreading in Kampala, Uganda's capital, a densely populated city of > 1.3 M.
"Mortality is high, between 40-50%. So, this is not insignificant."
"The likelihood of us seeing a patient is next to zero.
@MattLabor You won't believe this...no sooner do I tweeted this than an article and paper in Cell, originating from CU, jumps into my feeds about a potential spillover of another hemorrhagic disease. No cases but shares a key receptor.

2/ Many bought their products via 3rd parties. Initially I bought mine through Amazon, the directly via The Laundress, so I have receipts.
However, if you don’t have the above, you need to include a photo of the product w/the Lot # and your initials + the date. See notice MORE
3/I personally recommend wearing a well-fitted N95 or better (use surgical tape or silicone tape for seal, double glove, sealed goggles-or tape around your glasses as Pseudomonas is spread by inhalation, eyes, wounds & micro tears.
2/& at high enough levels spreads via contact w/contaminated laundry/sheets/pillowcases/sleepwear, etc.
Pseudomonas also spreads by inhalation & can cause👉CYSTIC FIBROSIS‼️Per Consumer Reports, Pseudomonas a. is a VERY hardy bacteria +can grow in many different conditions.MORE
‼️FFS. "An obscure Family of viruses, endemic in wild African primates & known to cause fatal 👉Ebola like symptoms 👀 in some monkeys, is “poised👉for spillover” to humans, according to new CU Boulder research." 🙀 STOP IT👺 MORE colorado.edu/today/2022/09/…

“This animal virus has figured out how to gain access to human cells, multiply & escape some of the important immune mechanisms we would expect to protect us from an animal virus. That’s pretty rare,”
Clears throat-uh, we are animals, that's why.

"A receptor, CD163, plays a key role in the biology of simian arteriviruses, enabling the virus to invade & cause infection of target cells. Through a series of laboratory MORE
2/👉A ZJ is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Joules of energy)
For comparison-the annual energy consumption for the U.S. is approximately 0.1 ZJ 👀‼️
And w/associated expansion of the oceans & melting of land-based ice, sea levels are rising relentlessly. MORE
3/A warmer ocean brings tremendous consequences-just sea life, weather patterns across the planet & the food chain—more intense storms, deadly rainfall, flooding, more powerful typhoons & hurricanes-parts of the planet will become drier, w/more heat waves & droughts. MORE

Researchers observed microbial communities are vastly different between different types of indoor environments such as schools,houses & hospitals-even different rooms w/in same building (e.g.bedroom vs bathroom) exhibit distinct microbiomes. 👀 WOW‼️
2/“We have identified the following 8 major categories of sources of airborne bacteria,viruses & fungi in the built environment: humans; pets; plants; plumbing systems; heating, ventilation & A/C systems; mold; dust resuspension; the outdoor environment…”
