This is a great memory of a peaceful revolution, but remember, one month later the Romanian People sentenced their dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena to death, and executed them by firing squad on 25 December.

The bad news:
#H3N2 is new flu strain, "generally thought to cause more illness & be worse for older adults than other strains".
* This, on top of 5+ years of #COVID reinfections, a virus known to dysregulate the immune system.
The good news:
It's PREVENTABLE with an #N95 mask & #CleanAir.

1/ H3N2 that’s circulated worldwide this year “acquired 7 new mutations over the summer,” Antonia Ho, of Scotland’s U of Glasgow, said.
That “means the virus is quite different to the H3N2 strain included in this year’s vaccine,” she said.

Warnings rise for U.S. as severe flu strain causes outbreaks in Canada, U.K.
A flu strain that emerged over the summer is causing "unprecedented" outbreaks in Japan, as well as in Canada and the U.K. The CDC hasn't provided insights on flu in the U.S. in nearly two months.

It is Far Right demonisation of immigrants which will make them second class 'citizens' (if they don't get deported for 20 years)
It will not solve the problem it will increase racism and empower Reform all while driving voters from Labour
