@NPRKelly@rachelnpr@MorningEdition To what extent have volunteers been mobilized in Ukraine? Is anyone watching where money and weapons are going? I am a little bit concerned about empowering right wing extremists groups and militias, whether there is a new invasion or not.

@NathanStall How about long COVID? We just don’t know the long-term effects of such extreme hypoxia, clotting and systemic inflammation, all of which are significant insults to the body. It’s not fear, just common sense.
@TRyanGregory That sounds like privilege talking. There are a lot of people who have to struggle through relationships with these people at work, school, volunteer positions, etc.
@DrEricDing I have lived and worked in six war zones. Wars are terrible for animals, children, women and men. I can speculate that trench warfare might well be ideal for airborne viruses.
@chartinael@world_epidemic There are a huge number of animals that are susceptible to COVID infection. Google it. I was really surprised. If I recall, cats and Guinea pigs can get COVID, but animals may or may not be able to infect humans.
@McFaul It is not uncommon for hospitals in Ukraine, and elsewhere, to keep a blood donor book with phone numbers. When there is an emergency/trauma case, they begin calling people on the list, to come in and donate blood.
@ab43803@alexmeshkin I agree that people are angry. But, breaking the system has been a political ideology for all of human history. At this moment, that destructive impulse is far more consequential.
@RadioFreeTom In the USA alone, we eat more than 8.5 billion cows, chickens, pigs, sheep, ducks and turkeys each year. As a result, we practice detaching ourselves at every meal from empathy and suffering.
