कानूनी कागती फ्लू सम्बोधन डा. मार्क लेभिनसहित

आज कानूनी कागतीहरूले डा. मार्क लेभिनसँग आउँदो अवियन फ्लू/H5N1 (कसैले यसलाई बर्ड फ्लू पनि भनिन्छ) को फैलावटको बारेमा भेटघाट गरे। नाटकीय नगरीकन र अनावश्यक आतंक सिर्जना नगरी, म तल तपाईंलाई छोटो अपडेट दिन चाहन्छु। संक्षेपमा, सकेसम्म हात धुने, फार्मको काम गरेपछि कपडा धुने, र लक्षणहरूको निगरानी गर्ने कुरा महत्त्वपूर्ण छ।

डा. लेभिन को हुन्:

  • २०१७ देखि भर्मन्ट स्वास्थ्य आयुक्त - https://www.healthvermont.gov/about/organization-locations/our-leaders

  • आन्तरिक औषधिमा चिकित्सा डाक्टर (MD)।

  • स्वास्थ्य प्रवर्धन र रोग रोकथाम, रोकथाम स्वास्थ्य परीक्षण र क्लिनिकल पोषण, दीर्घकालिक रोग व्यवस्थापन, र जटिल निदान समस्याहरू समाधान गर्ने कार्यमा लगभग आधा शताब्दीकै व्यावसायिक अनुभव।

यो जानकारी किन महत्त्वपूर्ण छ:

  • यो भाइरसले यस्तो उत्परिवर्तन गर्न सक्दछ जसले मानव फ्लूको रूपसँग मिसिने सम्भावना छ। यस उत्परिवर्तनको कारण भाइरसको प्रसार एक मानवबाट अर्को मानवमा हुन सक्छ।

के साझा गरियो:

  • हालसम्म मानवबाट मानवमा प्रसारको कुनै प्रमाण छैन। तथापि, देशभरि लगभग ७० वटा प्राणीबाट मानवमा संक्रमणका घटना भएका छन्। यी घटनाहरू मध्ये कुनै पनि भर्मन्टमा भएका छैनन्। हालसम्म भर्मन्टमा कुनै पुष्टि भएका मानव केसहरू छैनन्।

  • इनडोर बिरालाहरू पनि भाइरस समात्नको जोखिममा छन् यदि किसानहरूले H5N1 का ट्रेसेस घर ल्याए भने।

  • फार्म कामदारहरू, विशेष गरी गाई र पोल्ट्रीसँग काम गर्नेहरू, सबैभन्दा बढी जोखिममा छन्। सकेसम्म तपाईंको हात बारम्बार धुने र फार्म-संबन्धी क्रियाकलाप गर्दा लगाएका कपडाहरू सफा गर्ने कुरा सुनिश्चित गर्नुहोस्।

  • किसान र फार्म कामदारहरूको लागि स्रोत र शिक्षा उपलब्ध छन्। (https://www.healthvermont.gov/disease-control/zoonotic-diseases/avian-influenza-bird-flu-humans)

  • जेनेटिक उत्परिवर्तनको सम्भावनाका कारण, CDC ले यस भाइरसको महामारी स्तरमा पुग्ने जोखिमलाई “मध्यम”को रूपमा मूल्याङ्कन गरेको छ।

सस्तो समाचार: हामीसँग पहिले नै FDA-अनुमोदित एण्टीभाइरल औषधिहरू छन् र खोपहरूको परीक्षण प्रक्रिया जारी छ।

यो जनताको नीति हो।

My Last Plea as a Black Vermonter - A Very Open Letter

Image
I write this note feeling simultaneously heavy-hearted and freed. September 16, 2023 would have been five years that I have lived in this state.   Five years since I left my life in Mississippi thinking NO PLACE could be more racist (tuh). Five years of serving on multiple civic boards that claim they want equity, but build walls in the face of progression. Five years of being called racial slurs with no one to protect me from it and no one to check their white supremacist friends. Five years of confederate flags, don’t tread on me flags, and strategically placed Donald Dump paraphernalia. Five years of watching MANY of my friends and their very young Black children suffer from the same mental anguish I have experienced while existing as a Black person in Vermont. September 16, 2023 should be a time for celebration. Instead, it is a time for reflection as I leave the state to pursue equity work in a place that actually wants it. You may note that within this introduction I have not...

Policy for The People - March 10, 2025

If you have any stake in Vermont’s education system—whether you're a parent, student, educator, bus driver, counselor, cafeteria staff member, school nurse, EMT, or in any other role—you should pay VERY close attention to the following draft bill (DR25-0937) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sQHbSTU1jXnl5TrLKpE0SUtppQPY4Iwc/view.   What’s the Point: This heavy-handed attempt to standardize education in Vermont proposes to do so by imposing harsh changes to current programs such as “school choice”. These changes largely target low-income and rural Vermonters. Most importantly, this is a very swift attempt to make changes to long-standing programs that have provided equitable education for many decades.   Why it Matters for All Vermonters: The kindergarten through 8th grade “tuitioning system” will be limited for everyone in the 802.   Increased financial and administrative burdens, especially on small districts These “one size fits all” changes do not consider equity for lo...

It's Been a Year.

* (See: It’s Been a Year by Ashley Cooke) * A Formal Introduction   Actually, it has been 1 year, 4 months, and 21 days (or 509 days total) since I wrote, “My Last Plea as a Black Vermonter” begging all of you (Vermonters, legislators, civil servants, and European descendants in general) to consider Black Vermonters in all aspects of our shared social and economic realms. In that year(ish) I spent the majority of my time in Minneapolis fueling Black-owned nonprofits through grant writing and stretching my wings amongst my community in ways I did not imagine were possible.   Over that year I also received thousands of responses to the first Black Paper. Scattered across Facebook, Twitter (yes...Twitter), Instagram, rebuttal articles, and via email: there was a plethora of commentary to choose from. I read every bit and I want to take the time to highlight the overwhelming amount of support that I received and the desire to support Vermont’s Black community. There was an ...
