Let’s not ignore the fact that there is now the LARGEST TUBERCULOSIS OUTBREAK in U.S. history. It’s happening in Kansas, seems to have started with a group trip to Micronesia, has at least one person infected with extra-pulmonary symptoms. We have no information about the strain, its virulence, its responsiveness to the TB. Drugs on hand.

As usual, illuminating and essential.

We here in mid Ohio are experiencing a flu/cold/pneumonia illness that persists despite treatment, rest, nutrition and all the things that usually help. Massive fatigue and brain fog set in next.

Crowd-sourced monitoring developed during the Covid outbreaks. Do you know of any similar critical incident collection likely to start or gain traction in the void (and brain drain) left by these latest decrees?

I am sorry to hear that Ellen, I don't have any sound advice except that your local health authorities probably are tracking it. We've had outbreaks of a horrible flu in new york as well. I am not sure if people who are catching it have been vaccinated or not, but I have heard it is extremely debilitating.

Most I know personally, including m had this season flu shot. But this illness after November shot has activated long GBS- like symptoms.

The public needs health information. Resurrect the CDC now!

As bird flu -- and doubtless other minatory viral contagions -- loom, what better individual to have in charge of America’s public health than Robert F. ‘Dr. Mengele’ Kennedy, Jr. further besmirching his uncle’s Camelot?
