explosions&fire is not science communication. science is a vehicle for the video to make statements that will not resonate and perhaps not even be perceived. i am desperate to not communicate with the viewer.

@georgecmcgavin In my garden it’s mostly (native) red mason bees, mainly because I released them…

@lightchilduk @BestOfDullMen That’s an ELISA based test, not a PCR based test. PCR based tests look for veeeeery small amounts of DNA, so not surprising if false pos are likely. The other looks for big chunks of virus particles, so is much more likely to be correct when it reposts a strong positive result
