Beautiful morning on Pintianshan 品田山. Look closely and you can see Yangmingshan way off at the back and Turtle Island to the right.

This was one of those special moments when I felt so lucky to be able to just stand and watch the light play over the land.

While this sort of thing isn’t entirely unique to Taiwan, the confidence people have here that neither their scooter or their cellphone will be stolen when they pop into 7-11 for a few minutes late at night says a lot about this country.

A wonderful profile of @Tuliodna, who leads the team in South Africa that was the 1st to identify 2 major variants, just one of their many notable contributions throughout the pandemic

WanAn Air Drill, annual military exercise in Taiwan where everyone needs to shelter in place from 1:30 to 2pm.

All traffic is stopped. Being caught outside can lead to a hefty fine.

Every moderately to severely immunocompromised person should know about Evusheld, a preventive Rx. It's uncommonly prescribed by doctors and there's a general lack of awareness. Still works vs BA.5

A richly deserved nomination!

Despite the political noise and social pressures, @Tuliodna & @drSikhulileMoyo led the way in Africa's #pandemic response, inspired continental collaboration and sent the standard for genomic surveillance globally. #TIME100

121,000 Ukrainian children have been forcibly removed to Russia, Ukraine’s Ombudswoman says. Now Moscow plans to simplify the procedure for Russians to adopt these children, potentially separating them from their families forever. This calculated cruelty is astounding.

Five (of the many) reasons to believe in the resurrection of Jesus:
1. The empty tomb.
2. Appearances of Jesus.
3. Transformed disciples.
4. Impact on history.
5. Experience of billions.

Besides South Africa and Botswana, 12 countries have now reported confirmed cases of Omicron. And many more will do so in the next few days.
Had it not been for the sequencing and transparency efforts of South African scientists, how many countries would have found Omicron?
Zero

[Tulio de Oliveira @Tuliodna]

Very good piece by @apoorva_nyc & @rjlessells on the effect of the new variant on disease - Does Omicron cause only mild illness? https://t.co/nm4yYGDhJf

[Richard Lessells @rjlessells]

Just a note of caution - We know that getting a rapid understanding of disease severity with #Omicron (particularly in vaccinated individuals and re-infections) is absolutely critical, but it's just too early for reliable data
