CDC calls to ramp up H5N1 bird flu testing for poultry and dairy workers as a study shows that many infections go undetected.

Minimize the number of times you get Covid. Your body will thank you. Not only can repeat infections inflict Long Covid, they also, as @zalaly has shown, increase the risk of a multitude of ailments, such as cardiovascular events. 1/5

Data from @StatCan_eng showing reinfection contributes additional risk of #LongCovid How many cases of #LongCovid could have been prevented if we took reinfection seriously? nature.com/articles/s4159…
