Interesting quote found on the Caltech Explosion Dynamics Laboratory website:

"I thought that truth must eventually prevail, but I have found silent truth cannot withstand error aided by continual propaganda." - Orville Wright

The Tolkiens were helpfully transparent about likely outcomes at their parties.

Long-read sequencing folks -- @PacBio @nanopore. Sage and Diagenode collaborated on best practices for using Megaruptor 3 with Sage instruments to produce HMW DNA samples with tight size distributions.

Omicron variants killed more people than Delta in many places. While Omicron is less deadly *if you get infected*, the infection rate is far higher- so often the total mortality rate is higher.

Deaths Due to Omicron Higher Than From Delta

This week the nation recorded a seven-day average of 2,200 daily coronavirus-related deaths.
