There are times when I think I have a great idea for a blog,
but know that it is sometimes best to allow the idea to "percolate"
to ensure that I temper the message. The
idea I had for my blog this week was based on a question from the field. A question so outrageous that following the
last three weeks' focus on Apathy, the
title that popped to mind was "From Apathy to Stupidity"..... I think I will need to
"percolate" a little more as I think the title needs to be tempered.. I will say however, that there are times
that the hoopla created by media, can make people take leave of their senses
which leaves Infection Preventionists, the EXPERTS in understanding outbreak
management, to be chasing after information that is distracting them from more
important tasks.
So, as it's been awhile since I have written a #FF blog and
I love being able to share and promote great blogs and great bloggers, here are
some blogs and/or blog entries that I think you should check out!
Virology
Down Under - VDU's Blog is a blog I was recently introduced to thanks to
Twitter and @McKayIM. Aside from having
great blog topics, if you take the time to look at their website you will find
a wealth of information on viruses. Be
sure to check it out!
Pathogen
Perspectives, a new blog (e.g. launched in 2014) written by Heather Lander
(@PathogenPhD) is dedicated to exploring the world of emerging infectious
disease - and as one would expect, has focused much time and effort on
Ebola. I thought this was a perfect
addition as my "question of the week" relates to Ebola. I would definitely be checking this blog out
in detail!
I hope you'll check these blogs out! D
on't forget it's Friday so #FF and tweet!
Bugging Off!
