Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.
Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.
They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.
Public health is dying.

My daughter this year started Bachelor of Business. Cost? $70,000. But through HECS she will be indebted much more as interest is added to this.
Where have we got to where a third of large companies pay no tax, where we pay subsidies to companies to extract gas, with no royalties paid on that gas, but returning hansome excess profits to foreign owned companies.
Liberal/Labor have embedded this system.
More than 3 million current and former university students promised 20 per cent reductions in their student debts under Labor would not get that saving under a Peter Dutton government, and electric vehicle subsidies will be scrapped under the party's proposal to cut "wasteful spending".
@bastardsheep @stufromoz @dropbear This is what you end up with when an ailing diminished branch has difficulty finding candidates, but party HQ wants someone running in every seat.
They'll take just about anyone who's willing to volunteer. No vetting.
That's pretty much how it all works these days. There are very few "large" branches, and even fewer where the members are energized enough to turn up to meetings and volunteer for party roles. Everything's easy to branch-stack, easy to corrupt.
And that's where our governments come from.
Much shonkiness, much wow!
Great article, “How a Biofilm’s Strange Shape Emerges From Cellular Geometry” in Quanta Magazine.
Here are biofilms grown by researcher Lars Dietrich, all from the same bacterium, fed different nutrients.
