CIDRAP: CDC, health groups spent millions to buy ads on websites flagged for misinformation. “In the new study, published this week in JAMA Network Open, researchers scrutinized advertising revenue from 11 news sites flagged for spreading health misinformation, including false claims about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.”

"Work with raccoons and need a #rabies test? Don't send samples to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (#CDC) for at least the next couple of weeks.
The agency has temporarily paused testing for a host of infectious #diseases, including poxviruses, various parasites, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis, a rodent-borne virus that can cause meningitis."
States try to fill the gaps, but do they have the resources?

#WHO /#Europe , #France , 米国 #CDC のデータで、#新規入院者数 、 #新規死亡者数 を提供している国/地域のみ週データを掲載する。
米CDC、スウェーデンは2026年12週まで、フランスは2026年11週まで(更新 3/28)。EUのデータは報告されなくなった。

Raj's dashboard, updated Tuesday, shows Stratus-Eleventy XFG.1.1, alone, at a quarter share, for the last half of the most recent reporting period, while Cicada grandkid RE.2 makes an appearance in GISAID data.
That said, said GISAID data was dominated by paltry submissions from New York (171), Minnesota (85), Maryland (84), Nebraska (53), and Arizona (17).
Most recent #CDC dataset, updated over two weeks ago, showed two Stratus XFG variants gaining ground against their dynastic cousins.
Meanwhile, Nimbus 1.8.1 / PQ family also gained share, lead by the XFY recombinant with XFG.5.1.
Note that, in absence of robust data from states, CDC has given up modeling historical estimates, instead giving only shares of reported sequences.
