The #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza continues.
Here's what "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part" means, there:
1.9 million people displaced, 90% of the population
84% of Gaza now under evacuation orders
745,000 people facing emergency levels of food insecurity, including 495,000 facing an extreme lack (#famine).
995,000 people suffering from acute #respiratory #infections, 577,000 with acute watery diarrhea
20 out of 36 #hospitals out of service
21 more military strikes against schools that serve as shelters, since July 1st; as of today, 85% of all school buildings directly hit or damaged
65% of the road network damaged
In August, one third of all humanitarian #missions applied for from Israel have been declined, so far
66% of all #cropland and 33% of the #greenhouse area are damaged, 60-70% of all #livestock has been killed or prematurely slaughtered
This is what you get when a single nation like the #US has the power to protect the openly genocidal government of #Israel under #Netanyahu from any consequences.
You might consider donating to #UNICEF, to save toddlers and kids in #Gaza, rather than seeing your hard-earned money burned for video clips in support of #KamalaHarris - who nodded through another $20 billion weapons package for Israel, only days ago.

The #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza seems to be "unreal" and abstract for many.

Experimental #antibiotic kills deadly #superbug, opens whole new class of #drugs
Relatively large molecule clogs a transport system, leading to lethal toxicity. In this case, the new #drug—dubbed #zosurabalpin—fights off the #GramNegative #bacterium carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, aka CRAB. Though it may sound obscure, it's an opportunistic, invasive #bacteria that often strikes hospitalized and critically ill patients, causing deadly #infections worldwide. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/01/experimental-antibiotic-reveals-entirely-new-way-to-kill-drug-resistant-bacteria/ -
I don't care if the people in the lobby shake their heads and laugh at me. I got a solo elevator ride to the 44th floor again today.
Laugh all you want - get infected as many times as you want - I'm going to be here in a proper respirator and a face shield to protect me from unmasked carriers like you in the lobby, def not sharing a ride w you!

It is important to note… "Use of #antibacterial soap showed little added benefit compared with use of nonantibacterial #soap."
Take home: There is NO need to add antibacterial agents to soap for basic #InfectionControl at home or in public places. More important that that you "just DO it" [wash your hands] than choosing a brand/formula of soap.
…and...
"Hand hygiene is clearly effective against #gastrointestinal and, to a lesser extent, #respiratory infections."
Take home: This makes sense! #GI #infections are typically "fecal/oral" (I don't have to go into what that means!). The hands are the most likely route of infection. Wash them!
#Influenza can be transmitted by touching surfaces. #COVID19 less so. So again the above makes sense.
Hope this Helps!

Official #WHO #statement on #COVID and #raccoon #dog #DNA 🧬 reportedly found via #sequencing at the #Wuhan #Huanan #Market in early 2020.
“The findings suggest that animals were present at the market shortly before the market had been cleared on 1 January 2020, as part of the #public #health measures by Chinese authorities. These results provide potential leads to identifying intermediate hosts of #SARS- #CoV-2 and potential sources of human #infections in the market.”
