From the link:
“Question  What is the relative severity of illness caused by SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)?
Findings  In this cohort study of more than 141 000 nonhospitalized US veterans who were concurrently tested for all 3 viruses and diagnosed with a single infection between August 2022 and March 2023 or between August 2023 and March 2024, RSV was associated with lower 30-day risk of hospitalization, and COVID-19 was associated with a higher risk of long-term mortality through 180 days.
Meaning  COVID-19 was associated with more severe disease outcomes, including long-term mortality, compared with influenza or RSV.”

vessel strikes are one of the leading causes of #mortality for humpback whales, particularly in busy #ShippingLanes. Slower speeds provide more time for whales to be detected and for vessels to take evasive action, thereby reducing the likelihood of #collisions.

One of the most telling parts of Trump’s insane rant du jour was this:

YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION, BECAUSE IT IS NOW WHERE IT ALWAYS HAD TO BE, WITH THE STATES,

This is something that not only Trump believes,
or that members of the anti-abortion lobby believed
— it was a way for centrist pundits to demonstrate their Savvy.

The idea that "Roe was the reason there was political conflict over abortion" was amazingly widespread.
And, of course, couldn’t possibly be more #wrong:

⚠️The number of women in Texas who #died while pregnant, during labor or soon after childbirth
#skyrocketed following the state’s 2021 ban on abortion care
— far outpacing a slower rise in maternal mortality across the nation, a new investigation of federal public health data finds.
🆘 From 2019 to 2022, the rate of #maternal #mortality cases in Texas rose by 56%,
compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period, according to an analysis by the Gender Equity Policy Institute.

❌Supporters of abortion rights and women’s rights are #never going to accept this status quo.
🔥And it’s hard to imagine a time when the well-connected anti-abortion minority stops trying to pass draconian bans in every state legislature they control -- and nationally,
whether legislatively or by judicial fiat.
The idea that overruling Roe would mean you no longer have to think about abortion made no sense if you thought about it for more than 5 seconds,
but ⭐️this is the case of Trump believing something he heard all the time on cable news.

California surgeon general sets goal of reducing maternal mortality by 50%

California’s surgeon general has unveiled an initiative to reduce #maternal #mortality and set a goal of ❇️ halving the rate of deaths related to pregnancy and birth by December 2026.

Health officials say that more than 80% of maternal deaths nationwide are preventable.

California has achieved a much lower rate of such deaths than the U.S., but ♦️maternal mortality resurged in recent years amid the COVID-19 pandemic, state data show.

“We have the lowest rate in the country. Now we can do better,” California Surgeon General Dr. Diana E. #Ramos said in an interview.

Ramos was joined in announcing the effort Tuesday by First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Los Angeles Times · California surgeon general sets goal of reducing maternal mortality by 50%By Emily Alpert Reyes

Bat die-offs in the U.S. led to increased use of insecticides,
which in turn led to greater #infant #mortality, according to a "seminal" study published Thursday that shows the effects of biodiversity loss on human beings.
Eyal Frank, an environmental economist at the University of Chicago, authored the study, which was published by Science, a leading peer-reviewed journal.

✅ Bats can eat thousands of insects per night and act as a natural pest control for farmers,
💥so when a fungal disease began killing off bat populations in the U.S. after being introduced in 2006, farmers in affected counties used more insecticides, Frank found.
🔥Those same counties saw more infant deaths, which Frank linked to increased use of insecticide that is harmful to human health, especially for babies and fetuses
