Under Trump, America is weaker and more isolated than ever before

Donald Trump hit the golf course today after another disastrous week in the White House. He has now spent more than 25% of his second term golfing — the laziest president ever.

Important to take notice

So many want to believe all the sickness is caused by lockdown and immunity debt. Neither theory stands up to any scrutiny whatsoever if you care to look deeper. 1. Not every country had a lockdown, Sweden wasn’t in a lockdown. 2. All essential workers stayed in work. 3. SEN schools returned early

1. Yesterday I wrote a thread about the dire warnings from food professionals on the state of supply chains. Comfortable folk might find it impossible to imagine an end to the current abundance. But we'd better start imagining it fast. THIS thread is about solutions - false ones and sound ones.

1. Whenever you see really vicious and widespread "spontaneous" attacks on scientific findings that challenge powerful economic interests, you can be assured that corporate lobbyists have been busy behind the scenes. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It's spring. The chances of getting the flu are INCREDIBLY slim. On the other hand, COVID infections are on the rise. Just a reminder, your chances of long COVID increase with every infection, and it doesn't necessarily present right away.

This is a very big deal. 800 in Ontario is a LOT of measles cases (the CDC only admits to 712 for the entire US, for context). Southwestern, Grand Erie, Huron Perth, Chatham-Kent, South East and Windsor-Essex (in that order) are responsible for over 90% of cases. Extremely contagious. Mask up😷💖🇨🇦

Around 8.1 million deaths globally a year, are caused by air pollution. We don’t need more flights!

It’s not just COVID we need to be worried about but pollution. Air pollution in places like Luton is so bad, that it’s increasing cases of childhood asthma and is a leading cause of death. 1 in 20 deaths are related to air pollution in Luton. Labour are now going to increase this pollution 🧵

So awful, as most schools have no Hepa air purifiers in place. There are but a sprinkling across the well over 32k schools in the UK. (9k) COVID is airborne in all rooms, hallways, toilets, staff rooms, dinner halls, it doesn’t stay at the classroom door! Ventilation alone is inadequate. 🧵
