Two sensible minds finding the middle ground on the #asburyrevival2023, - how to not be, on the one hand, a cynical sceptic, and on the other a chaser of “spiritual” sugar-spikes
Some perspective on Asbury and its history of awakenings, and some wonderful wisdom from @RobertC4KY, who has visited. Loved this conversation:

1 July in Russia is Military Veterans' Day
This 1987 painting by Mikhail Uznikov, who fought for the USSR in Afghanistan, caught my attention at an exhibition in Yekaterinburg last year
It's called "Зачем?" (What for?)
@charisma_news “Because of his boldness to preach the gospel anywhere”. Hardly. Many people are preaching the gospel anywhere (see David Platt) and not getting the same response as Feucht. Does your gospel include being antivax and pro-Trump? Horrible subjective “reporting” full of assumptions.
I’ve just come across a thread on twitter claiming monkeypox, chickenpox and smallpox are actually all the same disease and I think that is enough internet for today
Absolutely HUGE study on persistent symptoms after #COVID19 ("long covid") in 37,000 children from Denmark 🇩🇰
Incidence 0.8% compared to controls
Most symptoms resolved in <5 months (often loss of smell/taste)
Reassuring news from biggest study yet✅

BREAKING [Thread]: 1. SA’s first real-world data on #Pfizer’s #COVID19 jab’s protection @ #Omicron infection + hospitalisation via @Discovery_SA + @MRCza
Note: This is data from the 1st 3 weeks of the outbreak, so it might change - regard it as preliminary real-world data
Thank you to the anonymous London Underground worker who found my stolen wallet & dropped it at my home with this unsigned note. The pickpocket took the cash, everything else is there. Christmas miracle from a very good person. Really touched by the kindness of a stranger. @TfL
Just so I understand the #omicronaffair well:
1) South African scientists characterize a variant.
2) The world blocks travel to EVERY Southern African country.
3) The world starts using the same sequencing strategy developed by South Africans and find lots of omicron.
Right?
I am in a rage. SA has world class skills to sequence new virus mutations due to our AIDS research. Our transparency is rewarded with an attack on our economy. The mutation might have originated in the EU for all we know. We merely found it, not originated it. Political lunacy.
