The Okavango region of Botswana & Namibia is one of the finest wildlife habitats left on earth. An oil & gas exploration company, ReconAfrica, listed in Canada & Germany but with strong US links, has begun test-drilling on the Namibian side. https://t.co/vhwrNuzYwL
In other news... While the huge fuss about Megan & Harry plays out, John Kerry, Biden’s climate envoy, has been in London warning about the cataclysm facing every single one of us in the near future. He’s scarcely had a look-in.

Helen Whatmore is being treated for COVID-19 in ITU in Royal Glamorgan Hospital. Please listen to what she has to say. COVID is not a hoax and our hospitals are NOT empty. #HelpUsHelpYou
The situation in the NHS is very serious and the number of people in ICU is rising rapidly.
We are improving our knowledge on how best to treat people in ICU thanks to research, but hundreds of people a day are currently dying.
We must all take the lockdown very seriously.
Please note that when the Prime Minister makes his announcement tonight, any changes he makes to “national measures” apply to England only. Here in Wales we already have stay at home restrictions. Diolch to you all for staying home - you are protecting our NHS and saving lives.

London: 242 cases per 100 000 moves to tier 3
Wales: 450 cases per 100 000 (up to 2100 some areas). Worried people won’t do as they are told, so not worth trying. We need a better explanation than that. #COVID19
Wales vying for a Christmas no. 1 (and 2-10).
Welsh Government have done such a good job through this crisis. Please don’t let us down now at the last.

We’re seeing a worrying rise in disinformation like this 👇
More than ever, we need to protect ourselves from disinformation by:
- Using trusted sources
- Questioning content that makes you react strongly
- Questioning motives

Every action counts in the fight against #COVID19.
Opening windows regularly throughout the day to allow fresh air in can reduce the spread of #coronavirus, helping to protect you and your loved ones.

Here's Dr Andrew Goodall, Chief Executive of NHS Wales, with an overview of the situation we’re seeing in our hospitals right now 👇
Extremely challenging times ahead. This isn't a conspiracy/fake news. This is a virus that has and will impact on all our lives. Providing care to all our patient groups will be harder than ever. This is why we need the public to follow the rules to help us help you this winter
