#infect — Public Fediverse posts

For anyone nervious or with health anxiety: https://www.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?

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.

If you could design a virus that only infected people with a particular personality trait, what trait would pick?

When a parasite infects a host, it can steer the host's traits for its own benefit. But what happens when there are two parasites? Does one parasite gain control, or does something new happen?

I always forget I have this one. This was right before I actually started playing and was just a collector. Not sure how the #infect mechanic worked, but this big boi is in NM and sleeved. Roughly $30 on open market. Probably paid for the 3 packs I bought that day and I didn't even know it. #magicthegathering #mtg #blightsteelcolossus

NY joins five other states in reinstating mask use in hospitals. In the NYC area, pertussis or whooping cough is making a comeback. Hospitalizations nationwide for flu, RSV, COVID are way up.

6/ Entertain the #toxoplasmosis hypothesis for a moment, implausible as you may find it. Let’s say a #virus that has been proven scientifically to #infect (not just inflame) human brains and to cause long-term negative changes in cognition actually has caused the right combination of such changes that result in its increased evolutionary success. I can defend this hypothesis as an engineer who has actually used #evolution to solve hard problems where the optimal solution is never known…

#Scientists believe they have #discovered a #new #parasitic #fungus which #preys on trapdoor #spiders in #Brazil ’s Atlantic #rainforest .

The #rare #organism , which is purple, belongs to a group of #fungi that #infect #invertebrates & take over the host. A closeup image shows the fungus wrapped around the body of a #TrapdoorSpider , poking out of the burrow from which the #arachnid grabs insects.
