Here's how the CDC tried to use bad science to convince people to wear masks during COVID
As we near June 2026, it’s disturbingly apparent from social media and the real world that there are still a ridiculous number of people who are religiously masking in public. One such post on X received an inordinate amount of attention as one man bragged about masking at the British Museum in London to keep himself healthy and avoid losing points of IQ.Seriously. As if someone wearing a mask halfway through 2026 has IQ points left to lose.
Ebola outbreak in DR Congo could top 20,000 cases in worst case, CDC says
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda could lead to more than 20,000 cases and over 2,000 deaths in a worst-case scenario, according to a report published Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The outbreak is caused by a rare type...

A Theoretical Study of DBLog: Certified Virtual Cuts for a Snapshot-Equivalent Replay of Live Databases
Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper is a theoretical follow-up to the 2019 DBLog paper, which introduced a change-data-capture (CDC) mechanism for both backfilling a downstream system from a live source database and streaming its ongoing changes, while the source keeps accepting writes. DBLog reads the table in primary-key range scans (chunks) interleaved with the source change log: watermarks locate each chunk in log order, chunk rows become refresh events, and CDC events repair stale...
Ebola spread in central Africa could match 2014 record outbreak, US health officials say
Modelling from US CDC shows Ebola spread could be on ‘dangerous trajectory’, but experts warn outbreaks can be very hard to predictCentral Africa’s Ebola outbreak could spread to be similar in scale to the worst outbreak in history, west Africa’s 2014-2016 outbreak that killed more than 11,000 people, according to a new analysis by US health officials. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday published a range of scenarios generated by computer models, from 10,000...
