Maybe we have all our infrastructure built around cars so when people drink they canβt walk home even if they wanted to and are more tempted to drive?

My son was 4 months old when he was hospitalized with both RSV and rotavirus. So very scary even for a doctor mom. Would have jumped on both of those vaccines had they been available.
The CDC changed the universal vaccine schedule & no longer recommends
Rotavirus
Hepatitis A & B
Meningitis
Influenza
RSV
Iβve cared for previously healthy kids who died from RSV, influenza and meningitis.
We all are going to be caring for a lot more now.

We are exploring ways to break away from the red and blue binary in politics and find political organizing that better serves Alaska and takes advantage of our rank choice voting. Take the survey, itβs collecting information on what people want to see in our representatives.
So many of my colleagues laughed at me for saying thisβ¦ butβ¦ a few colleagues didnβtβ¦ and I think they saved a LOT of lives in the first few years.

Two 3D-imaged mice comparing how SARS-CoV-2 and influenza spread through the body. The left image, labeled Spike S1, shows red fluorescent signals across many organs, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 propagated widely throughout the body. The right image, labeled Influenza HA, shows red signals largely limited to the lungs and liver, demonstrating influenzaβs more localized infection pattern. The figure caption notes that SARS-CoV-2 affects multiple organs, unlike influenza.

"The left image shows that SARS-CoV-2 propagated to most organs, whereas the right image shows that influenza was mostly confined to the liver and lungs"

βIn a society like ours, more than 90% of the time we are indoors, be at home, office, school β¦ so it is indoor air which is most important for our health
This is the problem right now. we must establish indoor air quality standards & mandate those standardsβ
Huge congrats to Prof Morawska!
