The holidays are meant for connection, not illness.

COVID, flu, RSV & measles can spread easily during gatherings, often from people who don’t yet feel sick. COVID in particular remains airborne, persistent & capable of causing long-term health impacts — even after mild or asymptomatic infections.
Cozy living room with a lit Christmas tree in the background. A person wearing a medical mask lies under a patterned blanket on a couch, looking unwell. Large white headline text overlays the scene. Full text on image: “No one wants to be sick for the holidays.” “People may carry COVID, flu, RSV, or measles without knowing it — and pass it on before symptoms ever appear. This season is about kindness and generosity. That care should extend to protecting one another’s health.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Minimal dark background with serif white text. Full text on image: “The pandemic is not over.” “SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate, causing serious illness and death worldwide. COVID spreads through the air — exhaled by people who may feel completely fine. Virus particles can linger indoors long after someone leaves the room. And COVID is not ‘just a cold.’ Even mild or asymptomatic infections can lead to long-term, life-altering consequences. Long COVID remains a real and growing risk — especially with repeat infections.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Dark gradient background with large serif headline and bullet list. Full text on image: “There are simple, concrete ways to reduce harm. • Stay home if you’re sick, testing positive, or recently exposed • Prevent household spread • Get vaccinated to reduce severity — knowing it doesn’t fully prevent transmission Being considerate isn’t restrictive. It’s protective — and it allows more people to participate safely.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.” Dark background with large serif headline and bullet list. Full text on image: “Stopping transmission means acting on what we know. • Wear a well-fitted respirator (N95) • Be cautious during travel and crowded spaces • Improve ventilation and clean indoor air with HEPA filters • Test before and after gatherings • Meet outdoors or keep groups small • Agree on mitigation measures together A COVID-conscious holiday isn’t about fear. It’s about care and choosing to protect one another.” Footer: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

Two of my watercolour drawings of the Warrior, Portsmouth. These were both done (plus others) sitting on the shore near the dockyard entrance in the early '90s. The first one was sold and the second one is a rather dull photo of the original
