It's diagnoses from all diseases. What this illustrates is how things were before c19 and then as people got covid & their immune systems became dysfunctional, they got all sorts of "sick all the time" diseases, and these are despite rising costs of care, which would typically lower trips to the doc

The national security implications of DOGE was something @profsaunders.bsky.social and I worried about from the start www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state... and our worries should grow given how entrenched Musk’s people are in the systems.

So now @GavinNewsom like Trump is demanding in person work, while we have covid, bird flu, measles, TB and a whole bunch of increasing illnesses. What ever could go wrong with this policy?
They really want us dead, don't they?
So much for workers.

Should I follow you? I mostly read and respond rather than create posts.
If you follow me and I haven't followed you back, like or reply and I'll do my best to fix that!

Let's put it another way: if ocean temps rise, they kill off the small life that feeds the entire oceanic food web.

No. Your headline should really read: No, Trump cannot rename the Gulf of Mexico.
And then you should explain how map making works, how countries name things, maybe use Myanmar/Burma as an example.
Anyone making a map with these names should be boycotted, she says looking for Constantinople...
