Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs @WHO now more than ever.

At some point we are all going to be exposed. The best we can do in the meantime (aside from measures to flatten the curve) is to focus on eating healthily, sleeping well, strengthening our bodies, and reducing stress.

La doctora italiana Lorena Quaranta fue estrangulada y asesinada por su novio después de que él la acusara de contagiarlo por Covid-19 (se les hizo pruebas a ambos y salieron negativas). El machismo y la violencia contra la mujer no descansan, ni durante una pandemia.

A más días de encierro, más lo confirmo: la única forma de viajar sin salir de casa, de descubrir universos, de aventurar a nuestra mente, es leyendo.

Can’t believe I have to say this at all, let alone for the second time. But here we are. NO CORONA PARTIES. They’re illegal, dangerous, and stupid. We will crash your party. You will pay a big fine. And we will name & shame you until EVERYONE gets this message into their heads.

As the numbers continue to rise, we can never forget that there are real people, each with their own lives, stories, families, and friends behind every statistic. My heart is with all those who have lost someone to COVID-19, are fighting the virus, or know someone who is.

My mother is not expendable. Your mother is not expendable. We will not put a dollar figure on human life. We can have a public health strategy that is consistent with an economic one. No one should be talking about social darwinism for the sake of the stock market.

If you take climate change seriously, and get frustrated when leaders ignore the science...make sure you take the science of epidemiology just as seriously. Science is science.

Via @SenSherrodBrown: Two years ago, President Trump fired the entire global health security team at the White House. Their job? Managing pandemics. Now we're all paying the price for President Trump's decisions.

As opposed to wild fish, with most farmed fish, you are often getting a nutritionally bankrupt product – with a higher percentage of inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids as opposed to omega-3-fatty acids.

Reports of suffering are upsetting, but it's a mistake to think we can do nothing about it. Many problems we face are of our own making. Since we are social animals who need friends, the least we can do is smile and respond to others warm-heartedly—that will make a difference.

Querido México, la emergencia apenas inicia. Cuando pasan los días, bajan las ganas y la atención se diluye, las víctimas se quedan solas.
