@cmyeaton.bsky.socialI ordered FluMist for at-home administration last week. A first! So far I can report that my family of 5 paid $17, medical review and approval was same day, and the shipment should take 10-14 days to arrive (longer than I would have guessed).

@marilenharo.bsky.socialReposted by @cmyeaton.bsky.socialThe flu season seems to be off to an early start in the Northern Hemisphere and scientists are worried about one particular mutation. That means it's a good idea to go get vaccinated as soon as possible!

@cmyeaton.bsky.socialdon't we need healthy people to pay premiums to balance higher users? that's how insurance works...

@scottehensley.bsky.socialReposted by @cmyeaton.bsky.socialThis is a really important development.

@cmyeaton.bsky.socialCovid-19 activity has likely peaked in the South, with other regions still rising. Flu activity is rising steadily but still far below start of flu season. Free national edition + regionals start in about a month. www.forceofinfection.com/sep132026/

@cmyeaton.bsky.socialIt's so ridiculous. Expecting kids to spend all day on screens without getting distracted is the marshmallow test, all day every day.
@cmyeaton.bsky.socialThey are simply too tempting for young brains! Policing device use when they have a legitimate purpose is hopeless.
@cmyeaton.bsky.socialOur middle school got rid of Chromebooks this year and the experience is already 200% better. Keep classrooms analog.
