'Mink in captivity have previously been described as pandemic “time bombs”. The size and density of the farms give invading viruses a perfect environment in which to mutate'.
H5N1, mink, seasonal influenza, potential for reassortment, no action.
A biological risk nightmare.
“I can’t completely wrap my head around it. And you still have workers going into the mink farm, and it’s flu season, so this is when there’s a chance for new recombinants to occur” telegraph.co.uk/global-healt…

We are in an unbelievably dire situation with almost no one understanding how serious it is because of the $1 billion a year spent by the oil industry to confuse the public - and it’s worked.
Most journalists don’t understand.
Most politicians don’t understand.
They seem to listen to each other rather than to scientists.
But science is science, facts are facts. It doesn’t matter whether people believe it or not, it’s still really happening.

BREAKING: Shell announces insane profits of £8.1BN in just the last 3 months.
Shell KNEW about climate breakdown for 60 YEARS and yet they HID the science.
That's why we brought a restaging of their 1960s offices right outside their global HQ.
It’s time we #ExposeShell !

November is days away & it’s going to be 75F today in Rochester. It’s supposed to be about 30 degrees cooler. Apparently the leaves won’t be changing this year.
The air is nasty too. A recent UN report found the U.S. is the only major economy where air pollution has “increased dramatically.”
Happy fall, everyone.

Because there is a systemic flaw in liberal democracy.
We allow the billionaire class to capture media ownership.
They are waging war on climate protection.
Help us free democracy from their capture.

One of my relatives caught Covid while in hospital for routine care — and he died in the hospital’s ICU two weeks later.
I’ll never forgive or forget the agony he suffered. Reading this post reminds me that the grave injustice continues.
