"As news reports on infections increase, we must remember that we are no longer in a Covid emergency: we are in a phase of management, and the difference between crisis and non-crisis must be made clear in public messaging. There is a risk to crying wolf too many times."
A new Covid variant is on the rise – how worried should we be? | Devi Sridhar | The Guardian

Tasmania has 12 endemic bird species although some claim it's as many as 18. Anyway, on our road trip we were lucky enough to see a few.
- Tasmanian Native Hen
- Black Currawong
- Dusky Robin
- Green Rosella
(As well as Tasmanian Wedge Tailed Eagles which are sometimes considered endemic.)
I was particularly happy to see a Dusky Robin which I didn't know about before this trip. We also saw Pink Robins and Scarlet Robins.
Anyway, the only worthwhile photo was of a Black Currawong who was quite friendly when we went to Dip Falls

I want my island back!
As soon as I finish the dishes I'm going to take over and introduce the key elements of #NorthSentinel's #PublicHealth policy!
actually,… #Australia already does attack any approaching boats? and I would prefer we did that less, so maybe that's a weak analogy?
Really, what I have in mind is more like just #Queensland or Taiwan in #Late2020 or #Early2021
Bring back #zeroFlu ! ! (and obviously #zeroCOVID but you guessed that already?)

This week #AdriftLab was joined by Tanya, a #TradtionalOwner from Kepa Kurl/Esperance. We traveled to northern Australia (☀️Tanya’s home Country, yay!) and this morning, we flew to a remote #island to undertake a damage assessment after #CycloneIlsa. Sad to say, there was significant mortality of the breeding #seabirds with very few individuals of an #endemic species left alive 🐦🏝🌀

The minister said whenever a new variant is found, it is isolated and then tested for effectiveness of the vaccine and it is also measured how deadly it is

Isn't it great when you come upon an unexpected plant. Aquilegia vulgaris L. subsp. nevadensis is an endemic species, classified as vulnerable and is on the Red List of the Vascular Flora of Andalucia. I only know of a couple of areas where this plant grows, usually see it in early June, but not this year it's out and flowering already I expect due to the dry winter and spring we have had.
