CDC Recruiting efforts under way.

Exclusive: U.S. confirms nation's first travel-associated human screwworm case connected to Central American outbreak 

Reuters - BUENOS AIRES/CHICAGO/WASHINGTON, Aug 24 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Sunday reported the first human case in the United States of travel-associated New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite, from an outbreak-affected country.

 

The case, investigated by the Maryland Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was confirmed by the CDC as New World screwworm on August 4, and involved a patient who returned from travel to El Salvador, HHS spokesman Andrew G. Nixon said in an email to Reuters.

 

When asked, the worm replied, "Yes, my cousin works in the head of the CDC and said he can get me a job there..."   

 

I'm so sorry (not), I read the story and all I could think of were "RFK Jr's brain worms were hiring..."

 

Still giggling...

So... many... idiots.

 

  

ABC reported last evening that an American Airlines jet had an on-board fire when someones personal electronic device (Phone? Tablet? Computer? Dildo?) caught fire and they diverted to National Airport to have it addressed.  Yes, there ARE rules about storage of personal technology on board planes.  But to add.. a subtle layer... to this story, as an aside, ABC Whirled News Tonight curated a video taken during the incident. It was by a young adult… seated in the plane… posting to a TikTok video. As I am watching it unfold, I am thinking "...this young “functional” (air quotes) adult… had made a decision that it was important to put stickers on her forehead before going out in public?" 

 

As this segment conclude, my only thought was; "She is why we have warning labels on everything…”.  Hey! But you be you!  And then this morning I browsed... Wonkette!      

Doktor Zoom (DZ) of Wonkette had a great posting this morning about the Trump administration now gunning for the Consumer Product Safety Commission. In “Will Trump's Anti-Fun Goons Kill The Best Government Social Media Account Ever? “, DZ went on to post examples of the humor that the CPSC uses to get various points across: 

 

 and went further to to include a hint at the Administrations expect first rules of order once they take over the commission;

“As part of applying only the very best science, the CPSC announced it’s cancelled six proposed rules. Among them are a proposal to improve the safety of table saw blades, and another to reduce the risk of rollovers of “recreational off-highway vehicles” (ROVs) “

For as much as I would hate to see agencies gutted, especially by the supreme morons in the current administration, personally, I would love to see the rules set forward by the CPSC be curtailed... revisited... in some instances, removed; if anything, to all to allow the human gene pool to filter out those who just… don’t have a clue.  My feeling is, I cannot stop some jackass if he wants to ignore all warning labels and shove a bottle rocket up his ass and light it on fire, or some moron wants to take a “Tide Pod” challenge, or lick restroom door handles (yes, that was a thing), or sit in the emergency row of a jet and feel compelled try and open the hatch mid flight or carry some altitude-sensitive, toxic battery pack on board a jet.  But we need more warning labels.  

 

My point is… YES! How ABOUT we remove the guidelines and the warning labels and let nature take its course!  It’s time to empty the gene pool and perhaps return some functional adults to the room. Let me conclude that, it speaks volumes about our society when a major media outlet feels that “Forehead Sticker Girl” represents the best of humanity in the moment of crisis, but then again, considering the current state our country is in, she probably is about the best of the best.
