#ClimateCrisis & #COVID19 expose the same Achilles heel in modern democracy: myopia. Everything is viewed through the lens of popularity, quarterly profit, headlines, soundbite. Few based on reliable facts, checked sources. All are opinions built on sand. #FollowTheScience >>>
@WarintheFuture@smh It's a wrong comparison. ๐น๐ผ is not like ๐บ๐ฆ A proper comparison is ๐ฒ๐ณor even๐ฐ๐ท๐ฐ๐ต They used to be part of China. ๐ฒ๐ณ has a long land border.

#BA2 means >90% asymptomatic infections.
Managing COVID22 means Layers of Protection, assuming EVERY stranger is infectious, because more than likely, they are. Minimize viral load in the air, in the body is the only way to deal with super spreaders.๐๐ทโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ฌ๏ธ๐จ
Q:Why do Symptoms start so early with Omicron?
A:When you have a BREAKTHROUGH infection, you already have immune memory that recognizes the virus FAST & causes IMMUNE symptoms very early
The virus often still โbreaks throughโ but your symptoms have already kicked in days ago

If we relied on (cheap) sun and wind for our energy, we'd have to pay far less attention to Putin, the king of Saudi Arabia, the Koch Brothers, etc.
It wouldn't be a perfect world, but it would be a far better one

โก๏ธAzov: Injured by poisonous substance spread in Mariupol are in 'relatively satisfactory condition.'
The Azov Regiment issued a statement saying that victims have high blood pressure, eye rash and shortness of breath.
Dramatic changes are underway in boreal forest, world's largest ecosystem, as Arctic warms 3 times faster than the rest of world:
>Thawing permafrost
>Methane releases
>Wildfires
>Carbon sinks becoming emitters
Profoundly disturbing, yet mostly ignored

๐ท๐บ needs to join the world in the 21st century. Force & bullying will not win wars. That road leads to complete destruction. ๐จ๐ณ needs to stop sitting on the fence & join in sanctions, vote in UN to send #UNPeacekeepers to enforce #Ceasefire & safeguard civilians. #NeverAgainKatyn
82 years ago, Soviet forces killed 22,000 Polish officers and intellectuals in the Katyn massacre - and history still remembers. What we are witnessing today in Bucha, Mairiupol and beyond now far exceeds those numbers - and we are all witnesses.
โก๏ธ CNN: Large Russian military column spotted heading to Donbas.
CNN geolocated a video showing a group of Russian military vehicles near Russiaโs Matveev Kurgan, a settlement in the Rostov region.
The vehicles were seen facing northwest, in the direction of Ukraineโs Donbas.
WatchingโJust two new rising variantsโฆ #BA4 (yellow) and #BA5 (orange) now rising and displacing #BA2 (blue) in South Africa. Nothing to see here. Cases not rising much. Close your eyes. No hospitalizations yet. Put your heads in the sand. Go back to the parties. #CovidIsNotOver
Back to the early stage of pandemic, assume every strange is infectious...because with 90% asymptomatic & others mostly "mild"#BA2 makes the extra care justified. Layers of protection, starting with ๐๐ทโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ฌ๏ธHEPA,
Protect yourself & your neighbors from #LongCOVID
People are no longer getting tested for #COVID19. Everyone is acting like it's over. I had 5 patients since last week who thought they just had a cold and didn't think it could be COVID. They all tested +. They didn't isolate because "it was just a cold". This is so exhausting.
@probstomfoolery I am reminded of Parable of Weeds. Matthew 13:24-30.
Freedom of speech is the King saying let them be. The key is not pulling out weeds but making sure the good seeds grow stronger than the weeds. Fact-check, Speak-up & never back down, in that order. Ask questions, always.๐ฑ๐พ
@randal_olson Republicans appear to be more cynical AND susceptible to conspiracy theories. There ought to be a psych thesis somewhere for that combination.
๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐งต that explains so much!
If you read anything online today, this month, read this story of USSR/๐ท๐บ monetary systems making people rich. Stalin's two-flow system is reminiscent of today's digital economy making billionaires rich while starving the bottom. Also, Surkov...
Vladislav Surkov is reportedly arrested. For years he ran Russian domestic politics and later Kremlin's policy in Ukraine. On Feb 15 he published an article calling for the war to reannex Ukraine, Belarus and Baltics. Today I'll discuss his role in Putin's rise to Presidency๐งต
@SpencerGuard@POTUS@ZelenskyyUa At his age, with the pandemic, I don't think it would be wise for @POTUS to travel 1,000's of miles. It's better send the Secretary of Defense or the Vice President. But honestly, as in a state of emergency, send weapons, not photo ops. Wait till peace for visit.
@McFaul Self-righteous passionate rage is why diplomacy will never bring peace. First listen and understand, THEN persuade to be understood. What she did was yelling and screaming and insulting and a waste of time. Ask her, did diplomacy stop Hitler.
#TaxBillionaires to stop the over population of centibillionaires. Money is power and power corrupts. Watch this brilliant demonstration of the power of money.
Centibillionaires, in perspective:
A regular billionaire can afford a private jet.
A centibillionaire can afford to buy a Gulfstream jet, every day, for 10+ years.
A billionaire would struggle to buy a pro baseball team.
A centibillionaire could buy every team in the MLB.
