Ongoing breathing problems continue after COVID

The patient noted it became especially hard to breathe when he was lying flat. He said trying to draw in a breath felt like hitting a wall. He spent the next six months sleeping upright in a recliner.

Always good to find out (many months after it happened 😠 ) that my personal details have been exposed because a financial services company got hacked.

*Twenty years* after I closed the only account I ever had with them. 🤔

We *seriously* need some strong privacy legislation in this country. They had no (legitimate) reason to hang onto my personal information for that long.

A pandemic that won’t go away – as COVID enters its 5th year, NZ needs a realistic strategy

On the fourth anniversary of New Zealand’s first COVID case it’s clear this is not a normal pandemic. Despite fatigue and indifference, New Zealand must heed the evidence and improve its response.

It is becoming increasingly clear to anyone with a brain paying attention that the human race has evolved, and not in a good way, from a species that lived in harmony with nature to a parasitic species bent on the destruction of its host. Greed and power drive this extinction-worthy behavior. We *could* deal with this self-destructive behavior, but we don’t - constrained by the ‘powers that be’ and an unbendable attachment to the status quo. That will be our undoing, of course. Pains me to say it, but the preppers were right all along. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency #GlobalWarming #FossilFuels #EndFossilFuels #ResourceExploitation #ResourceExtraction #Sustainability

This is an oceanographic phenomenon worthy of our attention and alarm. Lots of talk about #TippingPoint events lately, with good reason. This is one of the most important to track, with profound global implications for #ClimateChange and #ExtinctionEvent triggering. If the #AMOC becomes more unstable, as it is doing every year, it WILL collapse - within a few generations. And that, my friends, will change the world in dramatic ways. We don’t want to go there, but are well on our way. #Oceans #Oceanography #AtlanticCurrents #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency

Is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning current collapsing?

Australian vehicle emissions are likely to fall even further behind the rest of the world, unless much more ambitious policies are adopted.

Australian passenger vehicle emission rates are 50% higher than the rest of the world – and it’s getting worse

Australian vehicle emissions are even worse than official figures show and are likely to fall even further behind the rest of the world unless much more ambitious policies are adopted.

As nice of an idea as this is, atheist and religious people won't be able to perfectly get along because religion, as I perceive it, is inherently divisive. Until religion ceases to influence social and political spheres, complete harmony between believers and non-believers may be difficult, or impossible, to achieve.
