  7. A really good explanation of cyclosporiasis, the current outbreak, and why pinning down the source is so hard.
    Advise too.
    "Yes, washing your produce takes care of most of it. But that is not likely to remove all #Cyclospora Cooking is what we need to do. Cook your food, people.

  8. For anyone nervious or with health anxiety: youtube.com/watch?v=XMSv3zTFF1Y. It's Rebecca Watson's video, "No, Hantavirus is Not the Next Pandemic".

    Advocate & vote for better conditions for working, parenting & disability.

    Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.

    Do managers want:

    Only ONE person this week out sick?
    Or else a half-dozen in coming weeks?

  9. Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.
    Advocate and vote for better conditions when working, parenting, and disabled. Join a union or start one at your workplace. Push for no-fault sick leave, especially when local infectious outbreaks flare up.
    Check what air filtration systems are installed where people gather, mainly indoor spaces. Consider public transport, at work, schools, public buildings, and manufacturing. Ask some organisations what their air quality data and upgrade plans are.
