Neil GaimanFinally a starry night here on Waiheke. I took a few photographs, using a Pixel 6 and a tissue box as a makeshift tripod.
#Caturday Cleopatra, her Intense Velocity, caught in the midst of morning ablutions.
Augie RayMany people are desperately afraid of “forever masking.”
I'm afraid of #COVID19 remaining a top five cause of death indefinitely.
I'm scared COVID will leave billions with lasting damage to their heart, brains, and immune systems.
I'm frightened that children infected three, four or nine times will have lifelong health issues.
I'm worried that a rapidly mutating virus could yet spin off a deadly new variant.
Why is it so hard to do something so simple to possibly save a life? #WearAMask

Standing off the dog! #caturday #alttext one cow (black and white) cat and a much smaller black cat sitting in front of a bed, viewed through a half open door. Both look serious.
3 things I wish everyone understood about #COVID19 now:
- The main risk isn't acute illness or death but chronic harm to hearts, brains & immune systems: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12VbMkvqUF9eSggJsdsFEjKs5x0ABxQJi5tvfzJIDd3U/edit?usp=sharing
- You can get Long COVID following a mild illness: https://fortune.com/2023/01/05/origins-of-long-covid-90-percent-initally-mild-symptoms/
- COVID is evolving to be more dangerous by defeating our immunity protection: https://fortune.com/well/2023/01/06/kraken-xbb15-omicron-covid-variant-most-transmissible-yet-could-spawn-more-immune-evasive-variants-study-china-vaccine-monoclonal-antibodies-breakthrough-infection/
This means we should try to avoid spreading COVID & helping it evolve. And we should be more concerned for ourselves and others. #WearAMask
Simon BlackbournGalleria Sciarra, one of Rome's first shopping centres, built in the late 1800s. Beats the socks off most shopping centres I've been to!
I took this while visiting one of my oldest friends a few years ago - I feel like I could do with a top-up blast of that Italian sunshine right now...
