    Don't remember if we've talked about it here before. Commercial jets have excellent ventilation/filtration. At-risk breathers are within a few rows of seats.

    There must be exceptions. Poor maint. on vent. systems sometimes? Also I suppose small jets have much less fancy vent systems.

    she just found out that several acquaintances at the conference she attended have come down with the same symptoms.
    i have read about their air filtration systems, but i have to wonder about people within a certain radius of a person spewing virii

    I love me an aisle seat even though with exposure to emissions from all the walkers.

    Not quite up to our usual decorum standards. Cabin crew with flatulence are referred to as crop dusters.

    H5N1 bird flu is a matter of concern:

    H5N1 Bird Flu: What You Need to Know > News > Yale Medicine
    A Bird Flu Vaccine Might Come Too Late to Save Us from H5N1 | Scientific American
    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08054-z
    H5N1 bird flu is evolving to better infect mammals, CDC study suggests | Live Science

    It has been killing many wild birds for >2 decades. Birds are a troublesome group as they include many long-distance migrators. It recently has shown evidence of jumping to many mammal species.

    Human to human transfer has not yet been confirmed. This and other things of interest are in the links above.

    These are not clickbait links, but skeptical readers may still exercise their privilege to call the whole thing clickbait. But I'd not be fulfilling my self-appointed task if I did not post this.

    I do not know if turkeys have 'joined the club' but appropriate cooking ... still is. Long it has been known that stuffing should be cooked externally and called dressing.

    Things will happen before 2025. Health Agencies may fall to the new 'normal', but that would take even more time. It is equally concerning that surveillance of emerging viruses could have a multi-year crimp. In other words, H5N1 might not be the one.

    I'm ethnically German - but hey....
    I 'threaded the needle." which is to say that 'my people' (we're ALL people!!!).....left before the Dubbayas, but after the Hessians....;)

    If you know history, you know history.

    As I write this, bread pieces are drying and boiled chicken, onion, and celery pieces are refrigerating.
    The bread, celery, and onion (plus celery seed, salt and a LOT of black pepper, and other spices) will be contaminated with real chicken eggs (*gasp!!!*) fried in REAL butter until you think it's burned beyond redemption, and then baked with the chicken and broth into............wonderfully aromatic and traditional DRESSING!!

    Outside of a processing plant?
    Only idiots STUFF turkeys.

    The most-cited publication related to covid19 has been retracted:

    https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-04014-9
    RETRACTED: Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin as a treatment of COVID-19: results of an open-label non-randomized clinical trial - ScienceDirect

    TL;DR evidence base for hydroxychloroquine treatment efficacy has been eroded.

    First (Nature) link is semi paywalled but this is 'hot' and I expect full text to be in the wild soon. Or, one could do a bit of searching, find Richard Van Noorden's email and ask for the pdf.
