CBC science show Quirks and Quarks just had another great episode talking about the long term damage caused by each COVID infection. If you're starting to wonder why so many hard-core scientists are so contemptuous of our public health institutions, listen to this. www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks...

Doom scrolling is great right now because The Doom is always fresh. It used to be The Doom would get stale after a day or 2 but now the horrors are unending 😊

Thrilled to report that a single gin & tonic & staying up to watch some BBC nestled under the duvet is now the equivalent of stumbling home at dawn after a particularly wild night at Jay Gatsby’s mansion

Whenever I start to feel anxious I immediately have another coffee and scroll through the worst news imaginable on my phone and omg it does not help at all
