FTC fines Razer for every cent made selling bogus “N95 grade” RGB masks

I'm glad there's been some action on this, but a $1M fine is pathetic.

This was knowingly and willfully endangering public health (as well as probably contributing to the fallacy that “masks don't work); there should be jail time for those responsible.

It is concerning that the H5N1 has spread to multiple herds of cattle around several states in a few weeks.

The really worrying part of this story is how it spread from the cattle to the cats in about a week killing 50% of the poor things.

Several dairy workers also appear to have caught it too. At this rate of spread and across mammals it could make the COVID outbreak look tame.

Time to start stockpiling again?
