Ignorance Is Strength!

In a country where being asleep is seen as better than being woke, you get what you deserve.

This seems like a good thread to ask someone to find/make a RSS feed of WHO Disease Outbreak News. https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news

[–] NudeNewt@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

For starters I'd recommend FreshRSS to selfhost your RSS feeds https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS

And for the creation of one I'd recommend looking into RSS-Bridge https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge?tab=readme-ov-file

RSS-Bridge lets you make RSS feeds for sites that don't have one.

Woah hadn't ever thought about selfhosting RSS, thanks

Kansas currently has an outbreak of drug resistant TB.

There’s also the possibility of pulling coverage of PREP/doxy/other medications designed to prevent STIs from insurance coverage. This would devastate the gay community, which is why they would do it.

Times like this are why I'm glad I live in a blue state. Not that it will ship the problems, it even slow then down. The Orange Idiot is going after Chicago right now like he's got a vendetta, and diseases don't care about imaginary lines.

What historic disease do y'all plan on catching in the new post-medicine era? Consumption looking hot this time of year! Trollface

My doctor's always bitching that I need to lose weight, so this could work. If not though I hear that antibiotic resistant flesh eating bacteria is a horrible way to die.

Is there a non profit that can take over? Or a state(s) agency that can help out?

Just because the federal government decides they don't want to do a thing doesn't mean states can't do it (or heck local community).

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is true, but it's worth recognizing that a lot of the states, nonprofits, and local agencies rely on government studies and reports to make their own assessments.

With the government staying silent, it's going to be more difficult to get a sense of what's happening and what to do as a result. Not impossible, but the infrastructure isn't necessarily in place, because nobody prepared for the federal government to be this adversarial to public health and safety.

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep it would have been best if federal government were to be the ones because they can work across arbitrary state lines for collab. But something is better than nothing.

I'm sure someone can lawyer up a way to skirt the crybaby's command. Say they didn't 'publish a communication' but rather that 'data was made available through existing public and partnership channels'.

California would likely be all over it. As much as I don't care for Newsom, he really doesn't like Trump, so I call that a win.

Package may contain up to 52 bug parts and or swine flu.

Easy!

Don't know how much it's going to count for when the h5n1 pandemic hits, but it's probably going to be easier to get a flu vaccine now than any time moving forward, so probably wanna take care of that sooner than too late.

Any advice on the best place to get truthful information in English that's outside the US's jurisdiction?
