For the life of me, despite practicing Infectious Diseases & Medical Microbiology for 40 years, I cannot comprehend the stubborn unwillingness of colleagues to simply acknowledge that COVID is airborne. The scientific data is now so overwhelmingly convincing. The debate is over.

An important thread by an astute observer after a recent visit to Ukraine. A round up of the current state. Ordinary Ukrainians have valiantly adapted to an intolerable and unsustainable situation but there is no way out unless its allies in the West #LetUkraineStrikeBackNoLimits
