The CDC no longer broadly recommends the Covid-19 vaccine, but US residents will still be able to get one if they want.

Officials announce first known cases of severe mpox strain spreading in US
Clade I mpox has been seen in the United States before, but only in people with recent travel abroad. The three cases in California have no such history.
www.usatoday.com
California health officials are investigating cases of a more severe form of mpox after confirming it had, for first time known to authorities, spread locally in the United States.
Three cases of clade I mpox were confirmed in Los Angeles County this week in people who had not recently traveled to a country where the virus is commonly found, the LA health department said in an Oct. 17 press release. While a different clade, or group, of mpox has been present in the United States for years, these new cases represent the first of this kind that appear to have been spread locally rather than via exposure during travel abroad….

Days after hundreds of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention employees were laid off, former CDC officials are warning it has left the agency more unprepared to keep Americans healthy and safe.
While 1,300 CDC employees initially received reduction-in-force notices on Friday, about 700 were later notified their terminations were revoked, union officials said. Some of the RIF notices had been sent to CDC employees due to a coding error, a Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson said.

Damn. I still got a stockpile of masks.
I just remembered them when I needed one to treat some mold a few months back. I was paranoid as hell back in the day(Would still do it the same again) and now totally forgot about this shit. Hard to believe it's been 6 years.
Damn. I still got a stockpile of masks.
Glad to see you're back and (apparently) doing well.
These rising cases if severe flu have me thinking of wearing a mask again although I'm not going to at this pont.
Here in the Bay Area of California, I’m seeing people wearing masks while driving alone in their cars. Masks seem to be very common with trans people too.
I had to a few weeks back, at least when I was on the train. I was big sick and could not stop coughing uncontrollably once I got started

Chinese-linked biolab discovered in Las Vegas home sparks federal investigation with SWAT response
SWAT officers collected over 1,000 pieces of evidence including biological materials and vials with unknown liquids

Authorities are investigating a suspected biological laboratory with alleged Chinese ties discovered inside a Las Vegas home.
SWAT officers served a search warrant Saturday at a residence on the city’s east side after receiving a tip that a biolab was operating inside the home, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
More than 1,000 pieces of evidence with "potential biological and hazardous materials" were primarily located in a locked garage, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a press briefing on Monday. Authorities said there is no threat to the public.
The property manager of the home, 55-year-old Ori Solomon, was arrested Saturday and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of disposing and discharging hazardous waste, police said.
LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill provided an update on a joint investigation involving a possible biological laboratory located inside a residence in Las Vegas, Nevada.
LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill said police took extensive precaution while serving the warrant. Authorities, he said, used a robot to clear the home, collect air samples and deploy hazardous materials teams to remove items safely.
In the garage, investigators found multiple refrigerators with vials of unknown liquids, unknown liquids in gallon-size containers, a centrifuge and other laboratory equipment, authorities said.
"Some of that evidence included biological material and liquids that were meticulously collected and sent to FBI labs for testing," police said in a statement.
A worker in a hazmat suit searches through material found at the Las Vegas house.
Investigators identified the owner of the Las Vegas home as Jia Bei Zhu, who is already in federal custody following the discovery of an unauthorized biolab in Reedley, California, in 2023.
Zhu was arrested in that case on federal charges alleging he manufactured and distributed misbranded medical devices, including tests for COVID-19, pregnancy and HIV, without proper permits and made false statements to the Food and Drug Administration. He is scheduled to go on trial in April.
Additional charges have been filed against Jia Bei Zhu, 62, the operator of the Reedley, California Bio-Lab and his partner, according to the United States Department of Justice.
Zhu’s attorney, Anthony Capozzi, said Monday that his client is not involved in the Las Vegas investigation.
"He is not involved in any kind of a biolab being conducted in a home in Las Vegas," Capozzi said. "What went on in that residence we are unaware of.
Inside of the Chinese-linked California biolab
The Reedley biolab drew attention after a clandestine laboratory was discovered operating inside a warehouse owned by Zhu’s company, Universal Meditech Inc.
According to a report by the House Select Committee on the People’s Republic of China, Zhu, 62, is a citizen of the PRC and a wanted fugitive from Canada. The committee alleged Zhu had close ties to the Chinese government and was involved in a transnational criminal enterprise that stole millions of dollars in intellectual property from U.S. companies.
City officials in Reedley first raised concerns in December 2022 after a code enforcement officer noticed a green garden hose protruding from the warehouse. A subsequent inspection revealed extensive laboratory equipment, manufacturing devices and medical-grade freezers inside the building.
Officials also reported finding approximately 1,000 transgenic mice used in disease research. Workers at the facility told authorities the mice were genetically engineered for COVID-19 research

The FBI is assisting in the Las Vegas investigation, which remains ongoing. Authorities declined to provide additional details about the materials recovered or whether additional arrests are expected.
