Senior Centers concerned with #COVID19 should consider strategies to
➡️ reduce transmission among staff
➡️ protect people who are at higher risk for adverse health complications
➡️ maintain business operations if that’s their plan
➡️ minimize effects on other support agencies
The @WADeptHealth has strategies in place to help senior centers with their planning efforts to protect our most vulnerable populations & reduce the spread of disease in our communities. Info here: doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/No…

We have to work together to plan now. #COVID19
Persons who are older are at higher risk to develop complications from #COVID19: Your health and the health of those you care about are important to us & it may be recommended that you stay at home and away from other people during this time. Learn more: doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/No…

Coronavirus epidemy in Iran has past the crisis level. The country is imploding - law and order to disappear in the next days. A number of officials already died and mass infection among hospital staff and police forces reported.
#irancorona all of this, why?

The regime hid the initial cases since:
1) it was just before election and needed high turnout
2) due to political need, did not stop flights to china
3) source seems to becleric students from china arrived in Qom
4) did not close religious shrines
5) instead of providing information on the gravity of the risks to the public, played down and resorted to the same tactic of rhetoric “we will fight and beat it”

Now it has spread everywhere. The world now has an example on what failure to contain the virus can do.

I keep seeing this article go around. It's the height of silliness, spending more effort on political attacks against "preppers" than discussion what you should do to prepare.
blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/p…
There's a good chance we'll end up like Wuhan with most of the population stuck at home for weeks, even a couple of months. So do the obvious thing and stock up on some canned food and medical supplies you can't do without, and read: ready.gov/kit
That's the practical persons guide to preparing. The SciAm op-ed was the "Young Comrades Guide to Socially Responsible Preparedness", the same suggestions, but colored by politics.

🦗 Locusts in the Horn of Africa 🦗

"If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;" - 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 (KJV)

Everything old is new again, it would seem.

Thread.
The Horn of Africa is no stranger to infestations of desert locusts, an especially prolific breeder with a voracious appetite for vegetation of any kind.

In the last hundred years, there have been seven locust-caused famines in the region.

2/
The author of the Jewish/Christian religious text Chronicles was said to be Ezra, writing around the 5th century BC. While that is not certain, what is interesting to note is the issue of locust plagues.

Locusts were also one of the plagues visited upon Egypt in Exodus.
