Just donated to @inaturalist. Incredibly grateful to the people behind it and the people who participate in it. It is an incredible community and also has helped me have something positive to focus on every day during the pandemic.

I made the donation in memory of my father Howard Eisen & wrote

"I am incredibly grateful to the people who run iNaturalist and the people who contribute to it. iNaturalist has become a way of life for me. I have posted observations for every day for the last ~ two years." 1/2  I am incredibly grateful to the people who run iNaturalist
Comment pt2

"It serves as a record of my Nature outings & also a way to engage a broader community in Nature observations. And, this has helped me immensely during the pandemic giving me something to focus on that is not the pandemic. Thanks again for all the great work."

And, in case you do not know, I have posted A LOT of observations there - currently 45,215

Well, from what I can tell, most people, institutions & officials in the USA are in denial regarding the oncoming tidal wave of Omicron infections that are (1) already happening & (2) will soon massively increase. Come on everyone - we need to slow this down.
1. Limit indoor gatherings.
2. Especially stop maskless indoor activities. JFC people.
3. If you have to be indoors w/ people outside your household: ventilate, filter, mask.
4. Boost
5. Test early and often.
6. Quarantine w/ any hints of exposure / symptoms.
Sadly, a huge part of the problem is vaccinated folks thinking they cannot contribute to COVID spread. Well, this concept was wrong in May when the CDC pushed it. and it was wrong in July and it is really fu#(!@( wrong now.

Need a #Nature break? Well, yesterday we had a reprieve from the rain I zipped on up to Sacramento Wildlife Refuge for a brief outing. Here are some of the better pics:

As the cover photo shows, got some nice sightings of bald eagles there including a few in flight and a few sitting forever ... I particularly like the ones of one soaring over the hills such as this (even though a bit further away) jonathaneisen.smugmug.com/2021/2021-12/2…
Also saw some sandhill cranes flying over jonathaneisen.smugmug.com/2021/2021-12/2…

Today am still feeling a bit off. Very tired, a bit achy. Slight cough (which may or may not be related to the flu shot & did not have yesterday).

I could have lied about such things, but did not, & today failed @ucdavis Daily Symptom Checker and am not allowed on campus. NOT APPROVED Wednesday, October 6th, 2021 7:34 AM You must r
If only there was some way to rapidly do a test at home for #COVID19 to just double check things. Any thoughts? Maybe @michaelmina_lab can help me.
I know I know a bit of a a set up there as I don't need @michaelmina_lab to actually respond since I have been reading his (and many others) Tweets about rapid testing for months. And I got a few #BinaxNow kits just in case they could be useful at some point for me or family.
