Long before condominiums lined the shoreline in Miami Beach, before air conditioning, many thousands of years before Columbus, people lived along Florida’s coastline.
Archaeologists say the remains of their settlements are particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels as a result of climate change.
In Florida’s Palm Beach County researchers are planning how best to protect and preserve the ancient sites most at risk from rising seas.
The real story here is that COVID is a disease that often requires hospitalization but is rarely fatal given hospitalization.
Which means that its real mortality rate is significantly higher in places with overburdened hospitals than places with spare capacity. It also means that testing early and often is very important, because the most important thing to do to lower the mortality is to slow the spread, so hospitals have enough capacity to treat everyone who comes in.
People assume that “mortality rate” is just a property of a disease, but it’s not. It’s as much a property of the disease response as the disease itself.
“western media wont talk about this but the vietnamese government is helping citizens fight the coronavirus by offering free /proper/ meals for people in quarantine areas and free groceries/necessities for a whole neighborhood in lockdown”

“- here people will be placed in quarantine due to travel history, showing symptoms or recent contact with current patients - the neighborhood in lockdown is because the 17th patient, possibly a “super spreader”, resided there”
“some korean travelers are also in quarantine so they were given korean meals because what if they aren’t used to vietnamese food”
“i ran out of characters but this is also meant to poke fun at how the usa and some european nations respond to this outbreak, both their government and people. anw if you constantly think of countries in the global south with your shallow eurocentric bias then karma will get you.”
“Muting this now reach me through DM if you need to! Appreciate all the good sentiments”
“your gov may be shitty but extend your appreciation and support to doctors & healthcare workers on the frontline of this crisis!
if you cant wear masks, wash hands often, avoid touching MEN (Mouth Eyes Nose), and avoid crowds (PLEASE). the system is in shambles so be proactive”

“The Vietnam government makes sure the neighbors of the “super spreader” number 17th has enough food for 14 days. The citizens in quarantine be making friends, cleaning up the place together, giving out roses for women patients for International Women day, even fall in love lol~”
