Remember your Flu shot!

Japan has declared an Influenza (flu) epidemic. buff.ly/kzV7uwA

The outbreak is unusually early for the season.

Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand have all experienced early flu seasons this year.

I don't think people realize what an immediate impact this is going to have on outbreak response and containment.

Ferric Fang, MD @fangferric.bsky.social · 1d

According to a state epidemiologist, "CDC personnel who normally share information with state officials during outbreaks have been eliminated."

Kathleen Bachynski @bachynski.bsky.social · 1d

“One veteran researcher who still has his job (and, like other public-health workers I spoke with for this story, requested anonymity for fear of losing it) told me he believes that Kennedy’s ultimate goal is to “silence the scientific voice of career CDC scientists.””

Today we spent four hours at the Atomic Bomb dome and then at the nearby Hiroshima Museum - walking distance - the museum was utterly incredible, profound and understandably traumatic - I’m not sure we could have had more time given the enormity of what we took in but definitely a must #japan

Me and my scissors went a-walking. The first jasmine of the season! Its heady perfume has been wafting throughout the house. I know nicking from other gardens is naughty (but I am my sister's sister!) and who could resist? Anything over the verge, as I've said before, is fair game.

Whohooo! It's the Ides of Rocktober which means it's my (and my oldest son's) birthday today!
We have a tradition in our family (that I made up about 30 years ago) whereby the birthday person gets a Festival of Me. If it's a normal birthday you get a week, if it's a multiple of 5, two weeks...
