Covid has never gone away, and it's not just a cold. My infection in 2022 left me permanently disabled after previously being fit and healthy. Get boosted, and wear a mask in busy public spaces, especially public transport and hospitals. Not sure where to find a mask? Ask @edinmaskbloc.bsky.social!

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

If you are able to watch the 🎥 #Katrina on Netflix please do.
I remember when it happened but didn't know abt the blatant racism that was/has prevented so many frm recovery.
The infrastructure... the levies that broke were not maintained & failed.
Climate is becoming worse & we are ill-prepared.

Wrong picture here but relevant.
Picture is of Homestead, Florida after Hurricane Andrew some 30 years ago.

I dread seeing those parades with horses. I remember when they paraded the queen's coffin in Edinburgh and one of the lead horses was struggling on the cobbles and the rider , a police rider , forced him to carry on despite the discomfort . I'm glad this gorgeous horse gets retirement. many don't
