RT @ProjectLincoln: Republicans want America to abandon Ukraine, a sovereign nation invaded by a tyrannical dictator. They’d rather we support a man who’s killed thousands and threatened to strike our homeland with nuclear weapons.
If Republicans win, Putin wins. Americans and Ukrainians lose.

Anyone thinking of adding plants to their garden should consider this Purple Heuchera. Bees love the odd looking vertical flowers and it has being flowering for months. Not many bees though. Where do they go at this time? @the_beeguy

@CillianDeGascun Which of these has been detected in Ireland?
RT @EricTopol: The new variants on the horizon are at low levels in the US, several weeks away from causing trouble

Key ones of concern are BA.2.75.2, BA.2.3.20, BQ.1.1 and XBB

And don’t forget to put one on if getting in a lift. Most are not ventilated properly and I know two people infected in one. ALONE! The virus can hang in the air for ages. #WearAMask
RT @johnwenger9: CO2 levels during a shared taxi journey indicating that 5% of the air is "second hand".
This is why I wear a respirator mask (FFP2/N95) when sharing air in all confined spaces.

Depressing business. Every cafe today full of unmasked over 70s. Indeed unmasked everyone. Except me. By November the old bunker will look attractive.
RT @EllingUlrich: Currently there is a trend towards convergent evolution in SARS-CoV-2. But is that the whole picture? All roads to Rome and that’s it? Or where do we go from here?
