I was on my way to the next hospital I'll be working at for the next three months. I had heard about a bad outbreak of mad cow disease in Thorp, WI which was right on my way and the situation was far worse than I expected.
The prion causing the disease had clearly mootated and given the cows some strange powers.
The first thing I noticed was that the cows had picked up a chromatophore gene from cephalopods. They had started to use this ability to camouflage themselves in many locations. I stayed in my car for many of hidden camera photos, so I apologize for the quality of some. Image
Some weren't very adept at fast changes, and I captured this one after it had obviously been sneaking around in a quilt shop. I hope the owner is ok, but I found something that I will show later indicating that I don't think they are. Image
One decided to try to pretend to be a vegetable, thinking most people wouldn't fear that as much as a bovid. Image
One had gone the inorganic route and had taken the place of a street sign at a T-intersection. I think this might have been a ploy to get people to normalize bovid morphology in the city. Image
What became evident to me was that some were clearly trying to bait people. I couldn't quite determine what the end goal was initially. Image
Image
Image
I came across some evidence showing that this has become an international problem and not just limited to this small town. Perhaps ground zero was in Poland. Image
The next few images are rather horrifying, because I realized that this had become the Invasion of the Body MOOchers. The first I found was the replacement of a local dentist. Don't let that smile deceive you. I bet it had consumed the dentist and took over their practice. Image
Next I found that many city services had been taken over, almost like a version of Antelope, OR being taken over by the Rashneesh cult and being renamed Rashneeshpuram in the 1980s. The first seemed benign, but perhaps this was a ploy to get waterfowl infected as well. Image
It continued to get darker as I found their minister of propaganda. Image
The school principal... Image
The fire chief... Image
And the police chief had all been replaced. Image
The worst though was that I found that they were putting on a patina of patriotism and forming an army. God help us. Image

I read In the Garden of the Beasts in the spring of 2016, before the melon felon even had the Republican nomination. I found the parallels very disturbing.

2- When he got elected, I decided to fly to Munich to study the rise of Nazism right after the Inauguration. I wanted to understand how what was probably a normal population of people allowed it to happen. I could have just stayed here.
3- During the trip, I visited Dachau. I intentionally went on the rainiest, coldest day during my trip. I knew it would be nothing like the misery that was experienced there, but I wanted to feel something.

Back when we had good case data early in the pandemic, I could predict the day cases would climb about 10 days out with nearly 99% accuracy. Unfortunately, that data supply and resolution is long gone.

Now the earliest warning I can give is based on my observations of surges occurring when a variant becomes about 50% of submitted samples.

I was asked to talk about the risks of dust in healthcare at a regulatory and accreditation meeting tomorrow, so I put a few slides together this morning for it you might enjoy. Most are my images over the years with a few exceptions.
2- I might be the only person you come across that ties dust bunnies, Godzilla, the ISS, historic architecture preservation, and Monty Python together. There is a strategy to that in making neural connections to reinforce memory. I'll add a description to any slides that need it.

Since hantavirus is trending because of the death of Gene Hackman's wife, I thought I would share some of the bigger picture I wrote on ProMED about 15-20 years ago, tying in West Nile virus (WNV) and climate change.
2- One major route of hantavirus infection is through breathing in the urine and feces of rodents, particularly deer mice. This is a problem particularly in the western US, especially when people clean cabins in the spring.
3- During El NiΓ±o, more rain comes to the Four Corners region of the US. This drives two things:

1) The extra rain drives more wild grass/grain production, providing more food for rodents, leading to a rodent bloom.
