New Newsweek article by @NedPotter_ and @fredguterl on #COVID "The Forever Virus: What Science Says About the Future of COVID" w/ comments by me and others newsweek.com/2022/02/04/for… 1/n
As I am quoted in the article, I disagree with those (e.g., Ewald) who claim that #SarsCOV2 is attenuating before our very eyes and also that that is something we expect to happen. 2/n Not all scientists agree. Eisen points out that, when it com"The virus is not evolving generally to being less dead
I also call into question claims of some that somehow the spread of Omicron will suppress the evolution of new variants. That seems to be based on hope and not science. There is no reason to expect new variants will not arise and spread and some of these could be much worse 3/n Eisen, though, says there aren't hard numbers to support the

1. Last week I had two doctor's appointments in Sacramento in the AM. And then a 2 hour Zoom from 10-12. I decided it would be nice to do the Zoom while in some scenic spot & I remembered I had seen reported of a pretty rare bird at the Nimbus Fish Hatchery close to where I was
2. I don't normally chase reported birds - just not my thing really - but I had to find somewhere to go and I do read some of the rare bird reports so I headed off to So after my second appointment I zipped on over to the Nimbus Fish Hatchery. wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Hatche…
3. I got there, connected to the Zoom on my phone and AirPods, video off, said hi, got out a battery backup charger, and got out of my car. Now, I was not there JUST to try and find the rare "long tailed duck" but figured I would look for it.

I am dismayed by the people, including leaders, who are treating #Omicron as "mild" & therefore not a big deal ignoring the unvaccinated & unboosted, long covid, at risk groups and that it is not "mild" for everyone, just on average has less severe effects to the vaccinated
See for example this thread from @IanRicksecker for some more details

When I was a senior at @harvard in 1990 I started an "Environmental Issues" journal as part of activities leading to the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. I hoped to get EO Wilson to be our faculty sponsor. I phoned his office and arranged a meeting with him via his assistant 1/n
I figured, with a prof. like him this would be a very brief meeting. But instead I got to his office, and there was Wilson, and he was so excited about something. He had a new book out on Ants he wanted to show me. And we looked it over for like an hour. 2/n
Then, he took me on a tour of his lab (I think he showed me ant colonies and other ant things). And then we sat down for another hour and discussed Earth Day and student activism and other environmental issues. And yes, he agreed to be the faculty sponsor of the journal. 3/n
