Prof Danny Altmann: the burden of long COVID | RNZ

World leading immunologist Professor Danny Altmann has declared the future burden of long COVID to be “so large as to be unfathomable”. He has published a scientific review of long COVID in Nature, asserting if 10% of acute infections lead to persistent symptoms, up to 400 million people could be in need of support for long COVID worldwide. While the Australian government has allocated $50m for long COVID research, in New Zealand there has been zero investment for bio-medical long COVID research to understand and treat the condition. Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Immunology and Inflammation at Imperial College London, Professor Altmann has been studying T cells for four decades, and is interested in why people suffer debilitating consequences so long after COVID infection.

Mink farming poses risks for future viral pandemics | PNAS

Mink farming is conducted more widely and in more countries than fur farming of other animals, such as raccoon dogs or foxes. In addition, for viral pathogens with pandemic potential, minks’ biology positions them as an intermediate species in which dangerous adaptations toward human infection can evolve. Monocultures, including densely farmed animals, provide conduits for the evolution of potentially harmful pathogens. However, until now, fur farming has not received much attention in this regard. It’s crucial that we have the foresight to consider the controls necessary for restricting pathogen emergence in fur farming. Source: Mink farming poses risks for future viral pandemics | PNAS

Arbeit für den Frieden …Peace Work

Stella, oh, Stella

In unserem täglichen Leben können wir lächeln; wenn wir friedlich und froh sein können, profitieren nicht nur wir selber, sondern alle davon. Das ist die grundlegende Art, um für den Frieden zu arbeiten.

What it’s like for doctors in Wisconsin to follow an 1849 abortion law in 2023

Even now, a year later, Igler said, expectant parents come into her office with the assumption that if their fetus has a lethal genetic disorder, like anencephaly or trisomy 13 or 18, they can end the pregnancy safely.

“They are shocked when I tell them they can’t,” Igler said, “and they are shocked when I tell them we are following the law from 1849.”

She’s referring to the state’s original abortion law, which was passed before the Civil War, when women could not vote or own property. The law makes it a felony to perform an abortion at any stage of pregnancy, unless it would prevent the death of the pregnant person.

Republicans didn’t blink after a judge confirmed Trump’s rape charge

Kaplan’s ruling was unambiguous and blunt. “Mr. Trump’s attempt to minimize the sexual abuse finding as perhaps resting on nothing more than groping of Ms. Carroll’s breasts through her clothing is frivolous,” he wrote. “The proof convincingly established, and the jury implicitly found, that Mr. Trump deliberately and forcibly penetrated Ms. Carroll’s vagina with his fingers, causing immediate pain and long lasting emotional and psychological harm.”

Lest you glossed over that, the judge declared there was “ample, arguably overwhelming evidence” that Trump is a rapist by the word’s most common definitions, and even “some federal and state criminal statutes.” This wasn’t “locker room talk,” this was an actual sexual assault committed by one of the most powerful men in America.
