It's early. Aware that we weren't going to play, my beautiful rescue dog picked up her antler chew, quietly took it back to her basket and curled up and went back to sleep. I find almost everything animals do impossibly moving. My heart.

There's an direct analogy to be drawn here with the civic planners of the 60s, 70s & 80s who sought to reassure the public that their government had plans to reboot society in the aftermath of a nuclear war... sociologists label them "Fantasy documents"! As discussed in this podcast...

A cute picture, but a worrying story. H5N1 (first case) reported in a sheep in Yorkshire. Snippet from this month’s @bmj.com. #MedSky

Pic of sheep and virus particles.

Text:

H5N1
UK reports first case of avian flu in sheep
The UK confirmed a case of H5N1 influenza of avian origin in a sheep, a world first. The infection in the animal in Yorkshire was identified through routine and repeated milk testing, which was enforced after avian flu was confirmed in captive birds on the same premises. The sheep has now been destroyed, and no other cases of avian flu have been detected in the remaining sheep.
This is the first time the virus has been reported in a sheep, but avian flu has been reported in dairy cattle in the US.

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him. So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.

cbsnews.com

For decades, a doctor refused to charge patients who couldn't pay. When he couldn't pay, his patients came to his aid.

When Dr. Michael Zollicoffer was diagnosed with two types of cancer, his patients started a crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $100,000.

I’m quoted on the front page of the Observer today. They are looking back at the effects of the pandemic five years on. I say that it is primarily a story of inequalities. The poorest, disabled, young people have suffered the fallout, but this is easy to overlook www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Hetan Shah, chief executive of the British Academy, said inequality was “the primary story of the pandemic”. “You still find that people from poorer backgrounds are more likely to have been impacted,” Shah said, adding that the rate of long Covid in the most deprived households is double that of the most wealthy.

“One of the dreadful things about the pandemic was that, as a side-effect, there was less money to invest in public services across the piece. The worry is that some of the trends we’re seeing, unless there’s active work to stop them, will continue.”
