Study on masks vs N95 respirators for health workers spurs concerns | CIDRAP

Vaccination is important, Brosseau added, but no vaccine is 100% effective. Fit-tested N95 FFRs add another layer of protection, are superior to masks, protect wearers for much longer, and can be reused for a day or more, depending on the HCW’s patient contact.

A poem in Vietnamese by Lê Nhi
Translator: Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm

When I write on a flower petal
the words become invalid
any kind of affection is futile
a relic in the middle of a forest.
.
a podium without lights but shimmering
brilliantly
lighting up the smiling faces lurking
behind the makeup
subterfuge
Hidden pain?
.
My affection sketch in crayon
red
green

yellow
each colour blended together with joy

Quando as nossas ideias são acolhidas e divulgadas, ou o resultado disso, aparece na mídia, a gente gera uma conexão maior de força. Neste caso, podemos dizer que “se molda a vida” e o que se espera das pessoas, pelo menos no que se refere às nossas expectativas em prol de tudo aquilo que se projeta, na verdade, se busca alcançar, porque se você observar há situações dentro de cada contexto social que é preciso falar para que haja conscientização, e por esse modo de ” fazer” e ” agir”, é que se cria oportunidades para igualdades. A mudança que muito se deseja sobre…

Finding Rundo (Again): US White Supremacist Facing Criminal Charges Located in Bulgaria – bellingcat

Imagine you’re the US far-right extremist Rob Rundo. You don’t want anyone, especially not law enforcement or a pesky researcher from Bellingcat, to know where you are. You’re somewhere in Europe, facing up to ten years in prison if convicted on charges of rioting and conspiracy in a trial due to start next spring in Los Angeles.

But you’ve got a far-right fashion brand to promote and a tough-guy image to project. You need to constantly post on your multiple Telegram channels without coughing up evidence of where you are. And the photos you posted on one of your Telegram channels on 31 October 2022, modelling a new jacket, are perfect — no one could possibly figure out where you are from looking at them. Or so you think.

(Me: Bird and bat migration to new territories, as well as humans moving/disturbing infected soils facilitate movement of fungi.)
