1/ As the pandemic continues to ravage parts of the US with low vaccination and high transmission rates, healthcare providers don't just have to deal with a lack of intensive care beds and ventilators, but with a severe lack of nurses. qz.com/2057130/a-trav…
2/ Between the higher demand of an aging population, often excessive workloads, and limited training opportunities, the nation was going to face a significant lack of nurses even prior to Covid-19.

3/ The pandemic has added a new element to the generally high turnover: Even nurses who aren’t leaving the workforce are quitting their full-time jobs, joining agencies that will send them as contractors where they are needed.

With thousands of tokens floating around the internet, it's not always easy to figure out whether or how to invest in cryptocurrency. Here are some tips and things to watch for. ⬇️ qz.com/2055803/how-to…
1⃣ If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. While some firms promise high returns, virtual tokens tend to be high-risk, may not be regulated, and investors should be prepared to lose all their money. qz.com/2055803/how-to…
2⃣ Check out the code. By going directly to the code, investors can judge whether a founder knows their stuff by examining their programming chops while also looking for weaknesses to a hack. qz.com/2055803/how-to…

Thread 🧵

A new Covid-19 variant is now on the radar of several countries.

The Lambda variant, or C.37, believed to have originated from Peru, was designated as a “variant of interest” by the @WHO on June 14.

qz.com/2030844/after-…
Six cases of the Lambda variant have now been found in the UK, all linked to international travelers.

It is widely prevalent only in Latin America, including Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Argentina.

qz.com/2030844/after-…
Initially known as the “Andean variant” after being detected in Peru in December 2020, the C.37 or Lambda variant drew little notice beyond Latin America as the Alpha variant, first seen in Kent, England around the same time, preoccupied the world.

2/ Vaccines made the world optimistic at the end of 2020, but the discovery of new, more infectious strains of Covid-19, soaring caseloads, and rising death rates in several parts of the world is diminishing that hope. qz.com/1959316/how-tr…
3/ Expect Covid-19 tests for air travel to become the norm. There are efforts to standardize them throughout the industry, paving the way for future requirements that will become a staple of international travel. (📝 by @timmcdonnell) qz.com/1961077/will-w…
