Our paper describing SARS-CoV-2 variant trends in Ireland based on wastewater-based epidemiology and clinical surveillance is out! @UCD_SBBS @hpscireland @HSELive @IrishWater @nvrlucdireland #EUIrelandWales @UCD_Research @scienceirel sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Thanks to not being prepared for a hard brexit, chemical treatment shortages for wastewater has trigger the UK gov to allow raw sewage discharge without treatment, while it was supposed to be exceptional circumstances, operators are discharging daily. Trans boundary impacts?
When every day qualifies for ‘exceptional’ sewage discharge… @sascampaigns @EnvAgency

An old farmer stopped on the road. Reversed his tractor to talk to me. 70 he is. "You wouldn't know this" he said. "But this is the first yearcI have heard the cuckoo before I saw the swallows since the 1970's" Ot might seem like a small thing. But its not. It's everything...

There will be no more #Vaccine supply in Gambia until December. This is a huge concern. #VaccineEquity
We are now out of vaccines in Gambia until minimally December. I hope the rich countries with excess vaccines are aware of the impact of the pandemic in India on covax vaccine distribution to poor countries. Please donate.
