🙄 There is an outbreak of a virus similar to #Covid in #China

The disease in question is a metapneumovirus, which causes symptoms similar to colds and flu. However, the disease can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia.

Hospitals in northern #China are overcrowded, with the virus particularly prevalent among children, according to the #British newspaper #The_Independent.

#Putin planned famine in #Ukraine in advance - #The_Independent

#Putin may face a new charge of war crime since there is evidence that the #Russian_Federation planned a famine in #Ukraine and prepared for it in advance.

According to the international human rights law firm Global Rights Compliance (#GRC), after the invasion began, the enemy deliberately targeted primarily grain-rich areas, as well as food production infrastructure.

Hi Lydia!


## Trying to Understand This

"This means the winter and summer solstices would be framed by the same pairs of stones every year."

How would they be framed?

The article says that because there are thirty sarsen stones in Stonehenge, those must represent thirty days in a month(?)

Then how do they keep track of a year? And how do they know which day it is of the thirty just by looking at rocks?

"He identified a solar calendar in their layout, suggesting they served as a physical representation of the year that helped the inhabitants keep track of the days, weeks and months."

Which inhabitants?

- sarsen
- intercalary
- trilithons
- henge
