A child has died of measles at Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool. It says that they have had 17 cases since June:
If you know of any family members that may have missed out on their standard childhood jags during the pandemic, can you please encourage them to get it done immediately.
Measles is very contagious, but also easy to prevent with vaccination.

Presumably lots of extreme right wing misinformation about the dangers of vaccines has been a factor. It was around pre COVID, but was greatly amplified during the pandemic. Since then the public is living in a new reality that trusts government and institutions much less, including scientific institutions. Coupled with this is a rise in alternative therapies, and an overblown sense that your body is equipped to heal itself.
Numerous diseases have had a very effective vaccine for many years, and some that were largely eradicated yesteryear are tragically making a bit of a comeback.
America leads the way in the crackpot nature of the whole thing, but sadly other countries are not untouched by the sort of circumstances described above.

The streets of heaven are too crowded today.

There was always something about this guy that I found distinctly shady.
Hmmm. Is this the same Flanagan Group that are allegedly implicated in the Derek Hatton and Joe Anderson court case?

It’s so strange, how these Sub-Saharan rebel factions in areas where Wagner is stationed, get access to fiber optic drones, usually only found in Russia and Ukraine (ok, some in Syria)

Another very strong earthquake off the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. Happened about 15 mins ago. Don’t know if there’s a tsunami alert. Magnitude 8.0.

Is this a 2nd one or the one from yesterday?
The alert I got said it was 8.0 and had happened 15 mins earlier. It seems that was incorrect. It was erroneous reference to yesterday’s quake.
