I do not think GOP will block DiFi's replacement to Judiciary. If they do, Dems should kill the filibuster. If they're too chicken shit to do that, they should change the rules to bring judicial noms directly to the floor for an up or down vote.

NYC is on track for the most rain ever in a single day. Climate change is real and it’s here.

Important wastewater data update: Biobot has lost its contract. This is disappointing news as wastewater data has been difficult to communicate to the public, and Biobot has been one of the leaders in making COVID wastewater data easy to understand.

More than 600 million migrating birds are predicted to pass over our state just tonight. Turn your lights off if you can and let’s help the birds on their way.

“Why are you still wearing a mask?” A doctor who I met at an indoor seminar asked me. “I use it like a seat belt. We don’t know when it will make a difference, but we wear it just in case. We also wear it only when the car is moving - see we’re indoors now, and it is crowded”

So frustrated that Verily #covid wastewater surveillance data is almost useless. Give me the option to roll up states to a region. I can't even look at California in aggregate. It should not be much effort to report 4 regions (E, W, Midwest, S) and national trend.

Did you know, you can still access recent national C0VID #wastewater data in the U.S.? I'll walk you though it. 🧵 1/

EPA tests on #corsirosenthalbox es. 97% reduction of airborne virus in 30 minutes. 3,000 ft3 chamber. Compare this with bipolar ionization. Their tests were done in a chamber the size of a shoebox. Billions of dollars sold to schools in 2020-2022. What a waste!

Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS that CDC/HICPAC just voted to weaken precautions in healthcare settings. They ignored all expert and public feedback. They say they will take feedback from Federal Register comments made in the 60 day window -- but why would they, if they haven't already.

After a deadly pandemic & major public outcry, CDC still approved a draft of infectious disease guidance that is WEAKER than the current standards. What’s worse? They’re continuing to close out the public by giving only 5 days to provide feedback. nationalnursesunited.org/press/nnu-cond…
