What are your thoughts on the Louisiana patient, particularly after the December 26th update regarding sequencing?

And to further drive it home, that's how we got SARS (civets), MERS (camels), and COVID (bats/pangolins/unknown).

So get the damn flu shot. The new cell-based vaccines are much more likely to match the actively circulating strains than the older egg-based ones (due to so-called egg adaptation).

We nearly had a patient zero in Louisiana already, and their case was only an H5 mutation (not recombination from human strains). https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/spotlights/h5n1-response-12232024.html

H5 is widespread in wild birds, and it is spreading to cats. It is only a matter of time.

Damnit not again

It doesn't directly but it can protect you from also being infected with human flu at the same time. That could easily turn into the patient zero scenario if the virii exchange genes, so it is still important to prevent/mitigate from happening.

Frankly, after worrying about the atrocities his administration will commit, I don't have the capacity to worry about the nonsense that comes out of his mouth. I already spent 9 years being outraged about his words. I'll save what's left for his actions.

Is your username a back-formation of Verdana, the font?

I have no idea what you're trying to say. It's not a counter example. It is literally the example given in the article, which you quoted.

The awards are more heavily influenced by album sales than subjective judgements of musical quality.

Do you know who Jon Batiste is?

The album won on quality. The sales spiked after the win.

every old Nissan I see falls apart

That says a lot more about the owners than it does about the vehicles.

It is little more than a distraction. The big news this week was that Musk nearly got the government shut down so that he could have a provision harmful to his foreign business removed from the bill. As a result, "President Musk" is trending, and Trump doesn't like that.

Can confirm, they forced creation of a Branch account to complete Spark onboarding.

Lest we forget:

“The Democrats don’t matter,” Bannon told Lewis. “The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.”

That’s the Bannon business model: Flood the zone. Stink up the joint. As Jonathan Rauch once said, citing Bannon’s infamous quote, “This is not about persuasion: This is about disorientation.”

Don't fall for the bait.

Your article link is from 2020.

Are there affordable EVs being mass-produced that do not suffer from an overabundance of touch-based controls?

It was already made illegal (as of mid 2010) without affirmative opt-in by the consumer.

Anyone who paid overdraft fees beyond August 15, 2010 affirmatively chose to do so.

I don't really know what I'm talking about

I must not either, because I usually just assume that people who actually use the word chirality in a sentence tend to know what they're talking about.

They're probably butthurt about this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-remove-russian-maintainers-of-linux-kernel-heres-what-torvalds-says/
