Serious disease, easily and safely preventable, being allowed to run rampant by a level of ignorance perpetrated by venal, anti-science, self-serving politicians. And in a society where there is more reliable information available than ever before in human history. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/03/florida-measles-outbreak-preventable

Have joined FB called Moss Appreciation Society. Here’s a lovely generous coating of moss on trees and roots in Scotland I took some years back on a beautiful sunny winter’s day. #moss #Scotland #photography

🇳🇱So far there’s nothing to indicate that SARSCOV2 is going to go away.
Yup
Unfortunately. Its propensity to mutate to avoid immunity suggests the opposite.
True that is a factor but actually not the main reason. There are two more important reasons:
1) The human immune system attenuates to the same strain over time. So even if there is no mutation you can get the same strain multiple times over relatively short periods (year or two)
2)A large portion of people who catch covid are contagious but completely aymptomatic. I myself have had it 7 times (verified) and only could tell I had it at all once
Yersinia Pestis never went away. It was the conditions that helped it propagate that improved. Even then the multiple waves of the plague went well beyond a few years.
Not to mention damn near wiped out the bulk of civilization several times over in the process.
Cabbage #moth / #butterfly on #lavender #flower in #fremantle. From a few years ago - haven’t been as prevalent this year. #nature #gardens #photography
Pretty #moth on my screen door in Perth Western Australia. Not sure of species - possibly ghost moth? Not a great pic but attractive colours and markings are clear. #photography #nature.
