Memorial Day is for remembrance of those that gave their all for the United States. Those individuals may not have had any influence on policy, but they did their duty.
I wish we had not lost some policy, set to a higher standard. I wish that many officers and enlisted personnel had learned the lessons of inclusion for all of the people...
A little kebab. Marinate of kefir, turmeric, and a variety of other seasonings. On naan, dresses with tzatziki, and feta.
@garyackerman No. No it is not. I remember a high school teacher telling me, "The only school you will graduate from is the school of hard knocks..." 18 CLEP tests later, and a few additional classes, plus a GRE, I had an undergrad degree. A couple years later, while going to sea, I completed an MPA... More than one path.
Waiting to download Homeworld 3. Yay, retirement.

Today #CDC is supposed to launch a new dashboard showing where #influenza A virus — at this time of year probably #H5N1 #birdflu — is showing up in wastewater. Hopefully we can get a better idea in real time where cow outbreaks are occurring. Maybe. https://www.statnews.com/2024/05/13/cdc-wastewater-surveillance-dashboard-bird-flu-outbreak-monitor/
@HelenBranswell I wish that the variety of police powers Public Health once wielded, would be restored. Victims of our own success.

"Since late March, 42 infected herds have been found in nine states, according to the the US Department of Agriculture. Only one person has been found to be infected with H5N1 after contact with infected cows, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the current risk to public health is low, although it is working with states to monitor people with animal exposures."

Over the past 27 years, #H5N1 #birdflu has repeatedly defied #flu dogma, doing things scientists thought #influenza viruses couldn't or didn't do. We would be foolhardy to assume it doesn't have more tricks up its sleeve. https://www.statnews.com/2024/05/09/bird-flu-upends-avian-influenza-dogma/

Scientists from #CDC and the Texas health department report on the human case of #H5N1 #birdflu infection, which they suggest may be the first detected case of H5 that involved mammal to human infection. https://www.statnews.com/2024/05/03/bird-flu-virus-texas-dairy-farm-worker-first-mammal-to-human-spread/
