A large flip book, maybe. Flip it open and use it like a 15” tablet.

Texas measles has entered chat, followed by dismissive remarks from RFK Jr.

Call it conspiracy theory or good science, either way, as the ice melts I think it’s likely. Especially when we go poking around to see what’s what as it happens.

I still don’t understand the obsession with tamiflu. The data is such that the average reduction in illness time is 16 hours, if and only if you take it within the first 48hrs of showing symptoms.

And yet it’s both pushed and asked for well outside those parameters at great expense. It’s expensive, $75-150, depending, not always covered by insurance, and it’s not unusual for it to make people feel worse.

My running theory it’s the same impetus that has people screaming (sometimes literally) for antibiotics for colds, some of whom genuinely believe it helps. That and pharma selling a thing.
