The sorry demise of parental imperial ambitions on 24 July 1849 in Mechelen - yet another cholera victim biting the dust. Stay tuned for the results of our social and spatial study of epidemics in 18th- and 19th-century Mechelen!

It is out! Our first EPIBEL publication! The very first overview of the Spanish flu in Belgium: it only took 100 years to produce 😉https://t.co/LIv5nI4RMm

[Tim Soens @soens_tim]

The first overview ever on Spanish Flu in Belgium. A twitter thread by @EPIBEL1 . Many mysteries remain (it occurred during World War 1 - extremely difficult to interprete), but it clearly was NOT ten times worse than COVID19 (at least in Belgium).

[Tim Soens @soens_tim]

For 50 years the oil industry knew about the devastating consequences of fossil fuels on climate. Its own predictions of global warming were very accurate. It succeeded in delaying action for decades. Climate Change has victims, but also people responsible...

💸 BREAKING: U.S. billionaires are now 2.1 *trillion* richer than before the pandemic.

This growth in billionaire wealth could pay for 60 percent of President Biden’s #BuildBackBetter plan.

These two maps tell two very different stories of the pandemic - only one of them is not dependent on testing which many poor countries cannot afford:

[Sondre Ulvund Solstad @Sondreus]

What is the pandemic's true death toll? After months of work, we are launching our daily updating estimate of excess deaths around the world. With official deaths at 4.5m, I estimate the true tally to be between 9.3m and 18.1m, as of today
