The UK has been hit by a shortage due to the closure of two fertiliser plants, which manufactured the gas in vast quantities as a by-product.

🏭The plants, which made about 60% of the UK's Co2 supply, ceased production after the spike in gas prices made them uneconomical to run
🍕One supermarket chain said that products such as ready-made pizzas could be at risk if the problems were not resolved swiftly, as processed cheese is already being disrupted

⏳Dame Sarah Gilbert explains viruses tend to become less virulent over time as they spread through a population becoming more immune.

Although Dame Sarah said some genetic drift was to be expected - Covid-19 would eventually become like other seasonal coronaviruses
“We already live with four different human coronaviruses that we don’t really ever think about very much and eventually Sars-CoV-2 will become one of those"

💡Vladimir Putin has his finger hovering over Europe’s light switch.

Kremlin critics, and now even the International Energy Agency, have accused Russia and state producer Gazprom of restricting supply to Europe, helping to fuel the surge in gas prices
telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/…
🇷🇺The Kremlin has added to these suspicions by offering a simple solution to the feared winter shortage:

➡️To approve the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline that will tighten Putin’s grip on European energy supply Image
The pipeline, which bypasses Ukraine and is vehemently opposed by the US, is finally ready to pump gas into Europe but is awaiting approval from German regulators.

🗣️“Get Nord Stream 2 operational or else: that’s in the end the signal they sent,” says Prof Andreas Goldthau Image
