68% of my students absent today. Covid rates in my area “very high.” There is also a surge of early flu cases, according to county public health! Multiple students emailed me to let me know they are sick, or their dependents are sick so they are staying home to care for them. 😬

Maybe “most people will be fine”, but at the moment there isn't any particularly certain way of working out whether I am one of the people who will be fine. Or whether I'm one of the people who won't be fine. Or whether YOU will be lucky or unlucky. Best of luck with that.

I wonder why Prof. Iwasaki doesn't model respirator mask use in public any more. It's a huge disappointment for many of us in the CC community. If she knows how dangerous it is, why is a bare face acceptable?

Grateful to @NPR for the chance to talk about how stress and infections like COVID can stir dormant viruses in our bodies, and what that may mean for our immune system. Still much to learn, and I’m thankful to my team and colleagues for their work 🎧 npr.org/2026/10/23/nx-s1-598…

The dormant viruses in all of us may help explain long COVID : Short Wave

Virtually every human on Earth has a slew of different types of dormant viruses in our bodies. They are remnants of past infections and are—generally—harmless. Unless they wake up, which can be...

Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

In essence, this is no different than running risky Gain-of-Function research on on a dangerous pathogen... Uncontrolled H5N1 outbreaks on mink farms are a global risk, as Mink have α2,6 receptors similar to humans. The virus could evolve that infection route in Mink.

As others give inadequate advice, why don’t you suggest N95s & HEPAs to prevent exposure? One day, a failure to give proper warnings could be the subject of litigation. It is life or death for some.
