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.

Has a song ever gotten you, or someone you know, in trouble?
When I was 3, I was in the car (with radio on) with my mom & her mom. A song came on that I loved (& still do). I sang along happily &, as a result, nearly induced a heart attack in my Catholic Scottish grandmother. My mom had to assure her I didn’t understand the lyrics. youtu.be/dbk29JZdl5A?...

⏰ Illegal landfills hide what we produce legally

We have to stop producing toxic stuff. We cannot keep hiding it anymore as we did in the age of change. Now, in the era of consequences - it's overflowing.

There's absolutely no restrictions on what goes into an illegal landfill which means no control on what seeps out of them into water, soil + air. We've heard reports of substances like asbestos at illegal sites, others of waste burning + acrid smoke.

“Long COVID has shattered every aspect of my life,” says Ella, who contracted COVID in 2021 at 19 and had to move home. Once active and social, she now spends days in a dark room with “debilitating fatigue,” exercise intolerance, brain fog, nerve pain, breathlessness and many other symptoms.

"A new preprint study shatters the idea that pediatric long COVID is just a mild or different version of the adult form.
It shows that children share the same core immune patterns - and, strikingly, some resemble those seen in chronic infections like HIV"

A Cambridge-led study of 13.9 million children in England found COVID vaccines are the safest option. The very rare, short-term risk of heart inflammation from vaccination is far lower than the risks from infection, which can cause blood clots, heart issues and severe inflammation for up to a year.
New Data Shows COVID-19 Infection Much Worse For Children Than the Vaccine
"The risk following vaccination is substantially lower than the risk following infection".
