PRONTO

Es tarde, 
es hora de descansar 
de reencontrarse.
No es una despedida,
el fuego está dentro de ti
para abrazar mi corazón con fuerza.
Estoy esperando oír tu voz
en los labios de la luna
y en un abrazo sin fin

US will manufacture monkeypox vaccine in bid to expedite delivery | The Hill

The priority will be to fill and package 2.5 million vials of the Jynneos vaccine that were ordered by the Biden administration in July. Jynneos is the only monkeypox vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration.  Officials said in a statement that the technology transfer of the production process from Bavarian Nordic to Grand River has already been initiated, with the aim of completing it within three months.  The process could normally take up to nine months, health officials said. “This partnership between Bavarian Nordic and GRAM will significantly increase the capacity to fill and finish government-owned doses – for the first time in the U.S. – and allow us to deliver our current and future supply more quickly to locations nationwide,” White House monkeypox response coordinator Bob Fenton said in a statement.

Covid-19: Most people are still infectious five days after symptoms begin | New Scientist

Two-thirds of people with covid-19 are still infectious five days after their symptoms begin, according to the most comprehensive study yet of people catching the virus in real life.

The research also found that lateral flow tests – also called rapid antigen tests – give incorrect negative results about a third of the time when people are in the first days of developing covid-19, although they are much more accurate for detecting when people stop being infectious at the end of their illness.

Seran Hakki at Imperial College London and her colleagues studied people before, during and after they developed covid-19 between September 2020 and October 2021. They did this by asking those who had been in close contact with known cases to carry out frequent nasal and throat swabs and keep daily symptom diaries.

French Friday w/Madame Bovary & A Little More Empathy, Please

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Sorry, lovers of M. Flaubert, I know this is a classic book, but I just did not like these characters at all. None of them. I did sympathize with the first Mdme Bovary, poor lady, just asking for “en peut plus d’amour, si’l te plait/a little bit more love, please.” Very sad.

Too annoying by page 110 to finish even as bathtub reading that I would not have minded dropping in the bathtub. Far too tired to care about the spoiled young Mrs. B. having hysterical fits which her idiot Dr. hubby cannot resolve (though at least he does care enough to try).

Yet another French classic that I couldn’t come to enjoy.
