Group A Streptococcus? Aka Strep A?

#StrepAisAirborne.

It may be transmitted via other vectors, but most definitely airborne.

And in this very first study? Vagina air.

Let's take a look.
"Subsequent investigation showed that the nurse was colonized vaginally with group A streptococci of the sameMand T types found in the infected patients and that this organism was disseminated into her immediate environment by airborne or droplet spread.

Strep A sampled from the air in a hospital.

Shocked face.

I can keep going, but it's airborne, yo.

Get over yourselves, respirator up, and clean that air.

Great thread - of course!

I am going to add to it by pointing out something she did not. That she can not.

A possible future.

A thread of a possible dark future that we ignore at our own risk.
Anyone who follows @LongDesertTrain gets the latest on variants. What's coming down the pike.

But what no one can predict is what variants will actually do in real life.

Delta? Mutated so viral load was as much as 1000 times more than Alpha.

nature.com/articles/s4159…
Omicron mutated to have a higher viral load AND more sustained shedding than Delta.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36366518/

But it possibly mutated to have less LongCovid associated with it.

The dark future:
So, LC can be mutated towards - or away from.

You have got to be kidding me.

So, remember the Mask Rater thread I just did on the @CDCgov Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) Conference C19 outbreak that they tried to say wasn't an outbreak?
Well, one of the presenters was Dr. Penney, of the CDC's EIS.

Guess what her theory on this brain abscess outbreak (usually caused by Streptococcus intermedius) in this article?

Immunity debt. Image

Maria thinks she is starring instead of Emily Blunt in "The Quiet Place." At least that's what I am forced to guess by her utter refusal to say the magic phrase that would let people ACTUALLY be vigilant.

Covid is airborne.

Anything less is just Charlie Brown teacher, "Wah wah"
Notice how I did not add Dr.?

That was very deliberate.

She can earn that back. Until then, Maria?

Do better.
Got accused of being chauvinist.

I have done the exact same thing with all of the GBD, and many other doctors who are antivax or antimask.

Most are male.

I actually would love to respect her again. Just like I would love to respect the rank and file of

Let's have a good old fashioned Mask Conference rater!

I haven't done one in quite a while, but since @RWalensky is killing the map?

Send me your best photos/videos of the nation's best (at infecting the nation).

While Walensky is a political employee? Not one fought for
us.

To start? The CDC letting us know that "Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officers investigate and respond to disease outbreaks and other #PublicHealth threats. "

Except...

They said not to call it an outbreak regarding their own outbreak.

Hmm.

I wonder where we can find a definition of outbreak, @CDCMMWR ?  CDC official said the agen...

And career changing for any chef.

Quick thread on restaurants, eating out tip (besides don't), and restaurant architecture design.

Death, brain damage, and snark all served a la carte.
Restaurant ventilation design is difficult to do. You are balancing a lot.

Notice how crowded it gets?

So, how to handle all of that plus the back of the house heat from cooking? A restaurant offers unique ...
