@Walker well the price hopefully will be reasonable but even then you are basically playing roulette in terms of efficacy - you don't want to get it #bullseye #dogstar #epidemiology #lyme conn #infectious disease #bacteria
Collective delusion occurs when a cohesive group of individuals simultaneously adopts irrational beliefs, behaviors, or acute physiological symptoms that are entirely decoupled from verifiable reality, environmental toxins, or biological pathogens. Far from a simple cognitive failure, it is a complex phenomenon driven by the brain's evolutionary imperative to prioritize social cohesion

Has anyone been able to get data files for #wastewater #pathogen surveillance from WastewaterScan or NWSS? I would need the actual reported concentration data, not the post hoc categorized "levels". I know NWSS used to have an API for this, but can't find it anymore.

Domani: Quarticciolo, dove le disuguaglianze fanno ammalare: la salute segue la geografia della povertà

Un’inchiesta condotta dall’Ambulatorio popolare Roma est con il supporto del dipartimento di Epidemiologia del Servizio sanitario regionale Lazio, a partire dall’aggregazione di dati pubblici di Open Salute si propone di capire perché una parte della popolazione non riesce ad accedere al sistema sanitario pubblico. Emerge un quadro che ritrae una concentrazione estrema di vulnerabilità sociale: nel frattempo, si attendono i soldi della ragione e il patrimonio immobiliare va in rovina

Quarticciolo, where inequalities make people sick: health follows the geography of poverty.

An investigation conducted by the Popolare Roma Est ambulatory with the support of the Epidemiology department of the Lazio Regional Health Service, starting from the aggregation of public data from Open Salute, aims to understand why a part of the population is unable to access the public health system. An emerging picture portrays an extreme concentration of social vulnerability: meanwhile, we wait for the money of reason and the real estate patrimony is collapsing.
