⁦@BBC⁩ ⁦@BBCRadio3⁩ WHEN will this culling of classical music stop? When it’s completely dead?! Why do I pay a licence fee? Yet another branch of work for U.K. singers gone. First the Government and now you… theguardian.com/music/2023/m…

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. There is one place in the world where a map of #COVID19 cases & deaths reveals a straight line, with a huge amount of disease on one side, very little on the other. Where? The 3000+ mile border US/#Canada It's stark. MORE

This is how Angela Merkel explained the effect of a higher #covid19 infection rate on the country's health system. This part of today's press conf was great, so I just added English subtitels for all non-German speakers. #flattenthecurve
