Here’s a #SurvivorAU cast preview, I’m really interested to see how they’ll shoehorn the theme of ‘Redemption’ into the season.

It’s obvious for the returnees, but less obvious for the newbies. Not that I care too much, just curious.

Having newbs and returnees seems odd.

Why COVID-19 is “a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one”

“The virus enters through the airways but exerts its systemic effects through the vasculature, the common denominator in the lungs, heart, kidneys, and brain,” Benest tells The BMJ.

The Dutch Olympic team is taking several precautions: "We're not shaking hands anymore, but we're giving fist bumps," says Verheijen. "We're wearing face masks in crowded areas and making sure we wash and disinfect our hands thoroughly." This decision was made to minimize the risk of illness.

I remember Boston Rob once saying that a good way to see which players are aligned, is by observing who is sleeping next to whom.

As a viewer that logic also applies when they show nighttime scenes in #Survivor

People who dress very fashionably look the most dated in photos years after that style is no longer fashionable.

Look at any old photo and those who didn’t follow fashion look completely unremarkable and “timeless”, while everyone else “looks very [that decade]!”

Same with fashionable hairstyles.

Since polio vaccines may be considered “optional,” do you enjoy the following? Walking, being warm, having energy, driving normally, sports, travel, functional bowel and bladder, strong bones

If you enjoy any of the above, then polio vaccines are not optional, they’re common sense #polio #vaccines

Polio is once again a public health threat in the United States. Grace is disappointed, though not surprised.
