SHE DID IT AGAIN!
Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, is back with a new partner and just laid yet another egg.

I would like a survey, not about Long Covid but a generalized health questionnaire about the past five years. No mention of covid, LC or associated conditions.
I think the answers from the general population would be very revealing and would speak more clearly to the damage done.

My older brother, Tom, is running an ultramarathon for the @RNLI next month. If you could donate a couple of quid, I know it'd help him up the hills (all 6069 ft of them!). Thank you 🛟

“If five years ago, we were to imagine that a completely new disease, which for some can cause medium- to long-term and potentially disabling symptoms in approximately 3% of the population…we would be enormously concerned.”

Gray whales have been exploring again.
Scientists have discovered a gray #whale off of New England, extirpated from the Atlantic two centuries ago. This individual’s return to the Atlantic serves as a stark reminder of the intensity of environmental shifts. phys.org/news/2024-03-whale-…
