Are you currently pregnant in and trying to get more info about the maternal RSV vaccine or the monoclonal antibody for newborns? I'm looking for families to talk to for a follow up to this story on access to Nirsevimab. opb.org/article/2023/1…

Gov. Tina Kotek says downtown Portland needs more police, shelter and social workers. Less trash, plywood and taxes. Those are the top-line recommendations to emerge from a four-month task force focused on the center city. More below. #orpol opb.org/article/2023/1…

This is a great thread from @EPUD on downed power line safety. With more winter weather on the way for portions of NW OR & SW WA that could cause additional downed power lines, this information is vital to know. #ORwx #WAwx

I'm hearing power is still out in Cottage Grove as trees have continued to fall. If you're there - or have decamped for a hotel, I'm interested in talking with you! DM-me.

Does anyone have experience w the bus service Amtrak provides from PDX to Seattle when mudslides disrupt train travel? Their agents are telling me the trip won't be any longer by bus which seems... like a stretch.

I met Lou Whittaker 11 years ago, to record his memories of the Paradise Ice Caves on Mt. Rainier for an Oregon Field Guide doc. We ended up spending a day hanging out with Lou and Ingrid, learning about their amazing hand-built home. Will never forget his generosity, and spark.

1. Listening to an ASTHO - IDSA - CSTE webinar on #H5N1 #birdflu in cows. Of interest so far: — Dept. of Agriculture is monitoring feral swine; no detections of H5 so far. — in the "small number" of samples tested to date, doesn't look like cows are shedding virus thru feces.

Everything I need to know about bird flu I learned from Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 This story (all her reporting really) is worth your time. statnews.com/2024/05/09/bir…

.CDC says this individual, like the man in Texas, had only one symptom — infection in the eye. A nasal swab tested negative for #H5N1 #birdflu. Wear goggles in those barns, folks!

ICYMI yesterday: Survival rates for cardiac arrest in Multnomah County dipped last year. The county brushed this off as a result of overdoses. OPB pressed on suspect data to reveal slow ambulances are a more likely culprit. opb.org/article/2024/0…

People were less likely to survive a cardiac arrest in Multnomah county in 2023. There were about 18 more deaths than the year before. If you care about the quality and speed of ambulance service in this city, please read - and share - this story. opb.org/article/2024/0…

The number of #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herds continues to rise. Dept. of Agriculture added 5 today, 3 in SD & 2 in Colorado. Michigan announced +3 which USDA hasn't yet put on its list but I've added here because Michigan's doing a bang-up job finding/reporting herds. Total = 66.

There’s no excuse for the false & misleading information shared by Multnomah County, OR about decreasing cardiac arrest survival rates. No “mistakes” were made except getting caught. Thx ⁦Amelia Templeton⁩ for digging deep, telling this story and exposing the truth! opb.org/article/2024/0…

Only Alaska has fewer retail pharmacies per capital than Oregon. Shout to to AP for the smart analysis and Antonio Sierra, who's been covering this on the ground in Eastern Oregon for the past year. ://www.opb.org/article/2024/06/05/oregon-pharmacy-closures-limited-access/

This NigelJaquiss piece on whistleblowers who exposed Neil Goldschmidt gets at an uncomfortable truth. Adults tend to protect other adults. In theory everyone is against child abuse, but in practice, standing up for children can be a lonely experience. wweek.com/news/2024/06/1…
