HIV & Climate Change...

 

I don't normally find articles about how climate change impacts HIV.  This piece is the best I've seen so far.  At this point, I've seen nothing stating climate change directly alters the virus, that could change.  However, the change in temperature & other weather patterns could impact the ability to maintain the infrastructure needed to manage HIV treatment & outreach.  That's true for medical establishments & individuals.  

I'll leave most of the detail to the piece, give it a read.  Climate change is real, it has been happening for decades, it is altering everything in daily life & for some that includes their fight against HIV.

That's all for now, take care.

It Got Hot...

 

It got up there yesterday, but Weather Channel keeps giving weird highs.  The highest it got yesterday that I actually saw was 99.  It said that earlier in the day it had hit 101.  But this morning, the site reported yesterday's high as 104 + heat index.  BTW, don't trust WC's heat index.  It's usually  5 - 10° higher than every other site.   

This piece is a bit light, but details some impacts of climate change on the fight against HIV.  Let's just say it isn't good news.   Give it a read, if it's an area your interested in, it may lead to other sites.

That's it for now, take care.

Not Great...

 

My 50's haven't been that great.  Between health issues, the climate & sociopolitical BS, these last  years have mostly sucked.   My health has taken some serious hits, but those weren't as bad as the climate changes & politics.  People caused all the issues I'm dealing with & I already mostly despised most people.  These things didn't help my opinion of them.

I saw a cat & her kitten this morning.  I put out some food & water.  With the 2 cats we have, we can't really deal with any more.  Our siamese is geriatric & the other cat is pretty hateful of others.  The 2 outdoor cats came over easily, so I think they're local.  Most kittens would've been too scared to come close if they'd not been around people.  Hopefully, they'll be alright.  Why is it always, the people who would help can't & those who could, won't?  Again, I have no use for most people.
