500K Americans died of #Covid! On #InaugurationDay it was 420K so they put one light on the #ReflectingPool at the #LincolnMemorial for each thousand deaths. It looked like this, but this isn't what 400K people look like! Doesn't look as shocking as 400K! npr.org/sections/coron…
In 1969 I went up to Max Yasgur's farm to sleep in the mud and sit on a hill overlooking a stage where #JanisJoplin, #JimiHendrix, and #JoanBaez played. So I know what 500 thousand people look like. They look like a sea of swaying humanity. There was no crime in #WoodstockNation 
500 thousand Americans have died, and I think the number is just too incomprehensible, it's so big, it has lost it's meaning. I've found when I say, "500 thousand people have died!" somebody always asks, how many were supposed to die this year? Because they honestly do not know.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has tested positive for the coronavirus (#COVID19). Johnson said he has developed a temperature and a persistent cough over the past 24 hours ti.me/2JhULZB
Boris Johnson's chief advisor ran away after the PM's #COVID19 test came back positive. Couldn't make this up.
Two weeks ago when PM Johnson was following the U.S. lead of playing down the virus: "I was at a hospital, there were a few coronavirus (#COVID19) patients and I shook hands with everybody, am shaking hands continuously and I continue to shake hands" #DarwinAwards

Or, worse, sign people are stupid & deserve to get very ill if they eat them. #darwinawards
But here’s how a botanist sees this...

Three of these are popular vegetables, eaten all over the world & also sold in Britain.
BUT one shows daffodil buds, which are pretty horrendously toxic.
Non plant geeks, can you spot the difference?

In fact, daffodils are one of the most common causes of plant poisoning in the U.K.
Made worse as they were (until extremely recently) often sold & stored alongside fruit and veg.
Spot the difference between their bulbs & shallots.
