At a minimum, please wear a well-fitting mask in airports and on planes, and in healthcare settings. If people did this, COVID transmission would fall demonstrably. It’s not that hard, and it’s not all or nothing. It’s also not just a cold—it’s an organ-damaging virus.
It’s been six years since the first reported case of SARSCov2.
It’s never too late to wear a mask.
It’s never too late to clean the air.
Every infection avoided or delayed is a win for long term health.
We can drastically reduce transmission if everyone does their part.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

So often the story on climate leaves us in despair.
But for Prof Jules Pretty, there's plenty of good news after COP30. Solar costs are plunging, EV adoption is soaring and countries choosing renewables are saving billions. The story is turning. Read the good news here ⤵️

Spain may bring back indoor face mask rules as flu and COVID cases surge. Health leaders will meet on Dec 3 to decide whether masks should again be required in hospitals, health centers, and possibly other crowded indoor venues like cinemas or theatres to help reduce transmission.

Great Britain wastes £180,000 every hour switching off wind turbines.
Because NIMBYs are holding up the grid upgrade. Government needs to override local planning objections.
Regional energy pricing could have helped by imposing higher costs on areas that block grid upgrades.

I honestly believe that the slew of stories promoted in the press & media highlighting the woes of people owning property, sometimes multiple properties, worth £2 Million+ are having the opposite effect to the one the press intended. All they are generating are mockery & disbelief.
