The *only* way we can adequately manage risk in healthcare in a pandemic with an airborne pathogen is by having sustainable processes & resources in place to cope with a high volume of cases.
Stockpiles of disposable PPE expire & run out quickly, ramping up processes/skills takes too long, & we can’t rely on building infrastructure being brought up to scratch in a hurry.
Airborne precautions for respiratory tract pathogens needs to be an increasing part of our healthcare routine.
'Many startups initially faced an uphill battle persuading investors of the clinical opportunities in the dark genome. “They’re tainted with the assumption of non-functionality and non-importance,” says Joseph Dukes, CSO at Oxford, UK-based Enara Bio, a company engaged in scanning the dark genome for antigens that may offer fruitful targets for cancer #immunotherapy'

'Using genetic mouse models challenged with LCMV Clone 13 or syngeneic tumors, we show that the expression of a transcriptional repressor, growth factor independent 1 (Gfi1) is dynamically regulated in exhausted CD8 T cells, which in turn regulates the formation of exhausted effector-like cells'

'There has been no stopping H5N1. Avian flu viruses tend to be picky about their hosts, typically sticking to one kind of wild bird. But this one has rapidly infiltrated an astonishingly wide array of birds and animals, from squirrels and skunks to bottlenose dolphins, polar bears and, most recently, dairy cows.'

A peek into the jet stream shows a massive meander bringing cold air from the North. Courtesy of #GlobalWarming: less temperature differential between the poles and the equator weaken the jet stream which then meanders more, swinging the weather from cold to hot and to cold again over the space of a couple of weeks as meanders shift about.

“There’s not the clear-cut clinical evidence like physicians wanted, the products don’t stop the disease like the patients wanted, they’re never going to be as big a blockbuster as industry wanted and they don’t necessarily save money for Medicare [the federal health insurance scheme],” said Robert Przybelski, a geriatrician at UW Health in Madison, Wisconsin, where about 25 patients have been treated with the drug.'
