The eradication of smallpox, since I first learned the story of it, has always seemed to me to be one of the greatest accomplishments of humanity. This video, by the great science explainer channel Kurzgesagt, tells the story of smallpox's virulence and its eradication, and points out the risk of forgetting the huge benefits that vaccines have brought us.

The answer was as expected, YES, as this could make the #viruses more #infectious and #lethal.
My #brain is an INEXPLICABLY COOL thing.

Are #pools in your future this #summer?
Here’s what happens when a swim team competes with an intestinal #pathogen
Crytpo is exceptionally #infectious, particularly in pools.
The #parasite is shed in feces, and an infected person can spew 10 MILLION to 100 MILLION parasites in a single blowout, according to the CDC.
Swallowing just 10...
Ten.
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...
10 parasites is enough to ignite a new explosive infection.
!!!

Russia wants to cover up the outbreaks of #infectious #diseases in #Kherson caused by their #destruction of #Kakhovka #dam.
3 things are catching up with #terrorist invader Russia at once:
1. Poor logistics means no bottled water
2. Blowing the damn contaminated everything
3. Left bank of Dnipro harder hit than the right
Adds up to a #cholera outbreak among Russian troops in #Kherson.
