covid pandemic
Two variants have merged into heavily mutated coronavirus
The hybrid virus is the result of recombination of the highly transmissible B.1.1.7 variant discovered in the UK and the B.1.429 variant that originated in California and which may be responsible for a recent wave of cases in Los Angeles because it carries a mutation making it resistant to some antibodies.
If confirmed, the recombinant would be the first to be detected in this pandemic.

These last few days have been amazing for web security: WhatsApp changes its privacy policy and privacy-friendly alternatives go viral right after. It's great to be part of this! 😀 ❤️

real talk:
climate change is serious, and we need to take serious, large-scale action to mitigate it.
when i say #bancars , this is shorthand. but: don't be stressing about your personal issues, *like that guardian article says*, addressing climate change is about society-wide choices. and as a society, we have chosen cars to transport us. this is not about you, or your job, or your kids.
reliance on personal automobiles needs to stop at the society level. this is not about you.
