2. This is what happens when you gut food safety programs

But MAGA is too stupid to understand cause and effect.

3. 1 in 110,000 chance of getting it.

Diarrhea treated with antibiotics.
That‘s 0.000909% chance of getting it.

I’ve got no gallbladder so diarrhea is a life risk I guess. Is this even worth worrying about? I’m reading these reports and I feel like we’ve gone from deadly diseases to a still very rare stomach disorder disease that’s easily treatable. Do I need to be concerned here?

4. i don't know if you need to be concerned or not. i really haven't been and then

i talked to my daughter this morning and she was concerned -- she's been reading about it and only wants to get fruit & veggies at a local farmer's place, etc.

and when she starts being concerned about something i tend to take notice b/c between the two of us she seems to be the more logical, practical, rational one.

so i've been looking at a tomato and nectarine on my counter today and wondering if i should just throw them out.

5. 3000 people out of 330,000,000: and it gives you the shits.

This is now posted daily when it it’s seems like nothing to me. Easily treated with antibiotics.
