The Brackeen case is a really really big deal and going to get positively drowned out in midterms election coverage so do yourself a favor and read this thread
Rewire News Group@RewireNewsGroup8 Nov 2022
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in a challenge to a 44-year-old law that prioritizes placing Native American children in Native American homes. The case is called Brackeen v. Haaland and the law at issue is the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).

We have no proven therapy yet for #LongCovid. But there are more than 25 randomized trials in progress, at various stages. An outstanding feature @Nature by @heidiledford nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

This article is making the rounds. Sounds scary, right? Constant reinfections and no immunity! Plague doctor! Forever plague!!! Too bad it is almost entirely poorly sourced, grossly misinterpreted, hyperbolic bullshit.

Do you really need to report a +ve Covid home test in addition to isolating, taking time off work and doing a bajillion other things? No. But you'll help others assess their risk and more accurate case counts will help future you too. Here's how to do it: nytimes.com/2022/06/04/well/…

Be concerned without being panicked. You need to be aware of the spread of monkeypox, what its rash looks like, and how severe (or mild) it may be in order to isolate and stop transmission. @angie_rasmussen @DrEllenCarlin & Dr. Luis Sigal provide answers nytimes.com/article/monkeypo…

How Serious Is Monkeypox?

This viral illness is not like Covid, but there is cause for concern. Here’s how experts are thinking about it now.

I’ve been gratified hearing from many people who have said that they’ve followed my lead in deciding what they'll do, and not do, in various stages of the pandemic. It’s a particularly confusing time now, so today’s 🧵 is a summary of the choices I'm making these days. (1/25)
