Another reminder:
Respiratory infections spread mainly through the air. That’s why they affect the lungs.
Masks, worn correctly and consistently, reduce the spread of respiratory infections.
Respirators work better than masks.
Washing hands isn’t wrong, but it won’t stop airborne transmission.

In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these weapons to Russia and became a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

Shadow Treasury Sec, Gareth Davies: Rachel Reeves inherited a brilliant economy.
Wilf Frost: She didn't though, did she. It was terrible.
Gareth Davies: Ok. Yes. It was terrible. But none of it was our fault. And it was ABOUT to be brilliant.
That took less than 90 seconds to fall apart. Oof! ~AA

12 people. $2 trillion.
Meanwhile, U.S. homelessness increased 18% in 2024.

A very personal story from me about why it makes sense to vaccinate boys as well as girls against Human Papillomavirus
"I was surprised to learn, in later life, that cervical cancer is one of the few cancers caused primarily by a virus – a cancer you can 'catch'".

Why it makes sense to vaccinate boys against HPV
In the light of more good news about declining rates of death from cervical cancer, why do we vaccinate boys against the virus that causes it?
