For comparison-the annual energy consumption for the U.S. is approximately 0.1 ZJ 👀‼️
And w/associated expansion of the oceans & melting of land-based ice, sea levels are rising relentlessly. MORE
3/A warmer ocean brings tremendous consequences-just sea life, weather patterns across the planet & the food chain—more intense storms, deadly rainfall, flooding, more powerful typhoons & hurricanes-parts of the planet will become drier, w/more heat waves & droughts. MORE
4/Other parts will become wetter as rainfalls happen in bigger downbursts.
Me: Based on my reading & sources, they are WAY OFF on timing. Much, much sooner.

Researchers observed microbial communities are vastly different between different types of indoor environments such as schools,houses & hospitals-even different rooms w/in same building (e.g.bedroom vs bathroom) exhibit distinct microbiomes. 👀 WOW‼️
2/“We have identified the following 8 major categories of sources of airborne bacteria,viruses & fungi in the built environment: humans; pets; plants; plumbing systems; heating, ventilation & A/C systems; mold; dust resuspension; the outdoor environment…”
3/…found virus-like & bacteria-like particle concentrations of ~105 &~106 particles m−3 in various indoor environments & outdoor air, respectively… measured an average viable airborne fungi concentration of 80 colony-forming units (CFU) m-3 in samples collected from MORE

SARSCoV (SARS1) didn’t become contagious until people were pretty sick & in the hospital. So most transmission was to HCWs-known as nosocomial transmission. So it was easily MORE

The longer period of viral replication (incubation period) of at least the initial SARSCoV2 variants + high # of asymptomatics meant it could rapidly spread in the community. As it initially infects the respiratory system it was thought to be influenza MORE
