This is the latest in a string of self-inflicted wounds by the new admin that are squandering America’s strength & threatening our #NationalSecurity. Firing hundreds of #FederalWorkers charged w/protecting our nation’s #nuclear weapons is also #dumb. So is shutting down efforts to fight #pandemics just as a deadly #Ebola outbreak is spreading in Africa. It makes no sense to purge talented generals, diplomats & spies at a time when rivals like China & Russia are trying to expand their…reach.

Zooming in on the of the still lethal

EurekAlert!Remember ebola?Kyoto, Japan -- Six years before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an Ebola outbreak in West Africa had people fearing the possibility of a global outbreak. This was the first time many had ever heard of the virus, but since it was first identified in 1976, there have actually been more than 20 serious Ebola incidents. Thankfully, none of them had the global reach of the coronavirus. Ebola has not been eradicated, however. This deadly virus, which causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and has a fatality rate of about 50%, is still at large and could thus still cause a major outbreak, unless further research finds an effective solution. A major challenge lies in the virus' structure and regulatory mechanisms, which have remained largely unclear. In particular, scientists have long struggled to fully understand its nucleocapsid, the protein shell that plays an important role in genome replication and transcription.

#Musk: "I’ve never done anything harmful, I’ve only done productive things."

He's now constantly complaining about the #Tesla boycotts, and that's because his fortune is mostly in this #stock.

People are free to #boycott your products if you perform public sieg heils, defund #Ebola prevention and #AIDS research, complain about social welfare while getting 10s of billions in subsidies, actively interfere in foreign elections, and support anti-democratic actions of the #Trump administration.

The Diseases Are Coming

#ElonMusk’s slash-&-burn govt tear will have lasting effects on #GlobalHealth.

At #Trump’s 1st Cabinet meeting, last month, #Musk …admitted that #DOGE had “accidentally canceled very briefly” #Ebola-prevention programs. After a…chuckle, he claimed that the oversight had been swiftly corrected. But it wasn’t. The truth is far more disturbing—this admin…has actively dismantled the infrastructure…to detect & confront deadly pathogens.

Els #hantavirus del nou món (el meu "favorit", el Sin Nombre, tal com sona, veure comentarisviruslents.org/2014/) produeixen una malaltia molt greu, mortal en alguns casos amb un quadre de febre alta, mals musculars i afectacions pulmonars q porten a insuficiència respiratòria, shock i mort.

Aquests #hantavirus poden produir alteracions en la coagulació que poden portar a hemorràgies. Seria un virus que causaria febre hemorràgica, com #ebola o #marburg però a diferència d'aquests...
