Hi there, thanks for the fast reply. So can we buy a new suitcase and get it reimbursed? We are leaving on Friday and need a suitcase as the one we have is permanently damaged and unusable.

@lufthansa @Lufthansa_USA You guys spilled grease all over our luggage which leaked on our clothes - we submitted a claim as we will be traveling again on Friday but obviously no response so far. Any suggestions on how we should travel with our oil soaked luggage?

Austria's parliament has approved the EU's strictest Covid-19 vaccine mandate, making it compulsory for residents over 18 to get the shot.

Soon, those without a vaccine certificate or an exemption could be slapped with initial fines of 600 euro ($680). https://t.co/Voy6WY8rqy

Our new study by @JieunOh9 @ericsongg @MiyuMoriyama et al shows that immune priming via intranasal route provides superior protection against heterologous respiratory virus challenge. The key is in inducing local secretory IgA with broader coverage. (1/)

Unvaccinated Austrians ages 12 and older awoke on Monday confined to their homes for all but essential activities, as one of the strictest coronavirus lockdowns in Europe went into effect. https://t.co/AOTZJEUIUl

Yesterday, the Austrian government announced: starting Monday, you can only dine out if vaccinated or had a prior COVID infection. The vax rate has stagnated at 60% for months.

Today. Austrians don't get vaxed for vulnerables/kids but Schnitzel. This is Austria.

The lowest point of it all was when I arranged a meeting with a senior (white male) scientist to explain that I felt I’d lost the opportunity to continue my career because of childcare. His response was that science is hard for everyone, and good people are always lost.

@TwitterSupport Hey Twitter Team, my friends account got hacked and her e-mail address associated with it got changed. She tried to contact you already multiple times but didn’t hear anything back so we thought we will try it here! The case number is : 0196967256
Thanks a lot!

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

[Florian Krammer @florian_krammer]

No words needed. That's what vaccines do.
