I know things are terrible, but at least we still have The Onion. https://theonion.com/rfk-jr-demonstrates-how-to-remove-tapeworm-by-scooting-ass-across-carpet/

A Phase 1 clinical trial that will evaluate the Boost-2867 #covid #COVID19 booster administered via nasal spray is now recruiting in Seattle, at Kaiser's research institute. You don't need to be a Kaiser member to be in the study. The study is also recruiting in five other places in the US, some of which will be testing a jab version instead of a nasal spray version. Details are at: https://www.kpwhri.org/news-and-events/recent-news/news-2026/researchers-begin-trial-nasal-spray-COVID-19-vaccine and https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07221162

Hi, these are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government. Good news: it looks like the data collection and posting cadence is back on track. The DoH even backfilled the missing data. The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average of its detected Sars-CoV-2 is up a bit. The last calculation was made on 1/6. WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth@universeodon.com
