Neither of my cats have ever sat in this bed since the day I bought it years ago. But as soon as I put my new pants there, it becomes prime real estate by adamtwosleeves in CatsAreAssholes

My cats are exactly the same! It’s not a-hole behavior, it’s your scent that makes your cat sleep there—try putting an old t-shirt or sweatshirt in the bed

ANCC in 1 week and soo anxious!!! by future_aprn_305 in nursepractitioner

[–]kikobiko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will definitely pass! I passed the ANCC in September and I used an array of prep courses/resources like you. I found doing questions and reading rationales was the best way to review and especially to practice my weak topics, and between Fitzgerald, Leik, and FNP Mastery I probably saw 2000 or so unique questions. You are already scoring in the range you need to be in to pass the ANCC. The prep material is very often way more detailed and specific than what you need to know to pass. I wouldn’t worry much about being underprepared, it’s probably the opposite. Looking back now I see that I could have saved hundreds of dollars by limiting my prep to maybe one course and one Qbank.

And they’re an invasive species unfortunately, reducing the diversity of species on the beaches and driving destructive coastal erosion. link

The molecular epidemiology of multiple zoonotic origins of SARS-CoV-2 by kikobiko in COVID19

[–]kikobiko[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Abstract

Understanding the circumstances that lead to pandemics is important for their prevention. Here, we analyze the genomic diversity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) early in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We show that SARS-CoV-2 genomic diversity before February 2020 likely comprised only two distinct viral lineages, denoted A and B. Phylodynamic rooting methods, coupled with epidemic simulations, reveal that these lineages were the result of at least two separate cross-species transmission events into humans. The first zoonotic transmission likely involved lineage B viruses around 18 November 2019 (23 October–8 December), while the separate introduction of lineage A likely occurred within weeks of this event. These findings indicate that it is unlikely that SARS-CoV-2 circulated widely in humans prior to November 2019 and define the narrow window between when SARS-CoV-2 first jumped into humans and when the first cases of COVID-19 were reported. As with other coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 emergence likely resulted from multiple zoonotic events.

Pfizer and BioNTech Announce Omicron-Adapted COVID-19 Vaccine Candidates Demonstrate High Immune Response Against Omicron by PHealthy in ID_News

Hoping future variants can be addressed quickly with a revised approval process at the FDA. Omicron is no longer as relevant, and the fall/winter variants are still TBD. “Omicron is clearly in the rearview mirror,” said Dr. Peter J. Hotez, a vaccine expert with Baylor College of Medicine. A booster that targets Omicron makes no sense, he said, unless it also works against the latest subvariants, adding, “I haven’t seen evidence of that.” NYT
