Best Pics from Nimbus Fish Hatchery

Went to Sacramento for a Doctor's appointment and then had a 2 hour Zoom call. Decided to do the call while walking around the Nimbus Fish Hatchery which I have never been to. I heard that people had seen a rare duck there so went on over. And it was awesome. I then messaged a grad student in my lab, Alonna Wright who lives nearby and she came over for a walk after lunch. Here is a link to a slideshow of some of the pics I got

Some thoughts on Omicron and COVID19 in the last week or so

 

Some recent Tweets and threads from me on Omicron and related topics

I am dismayed by the people, including leaders, who are treating #Omicron as "mild" & therefore not a big deal ignoring the unvaccinated & unboosted, long covid, at risk groups and that it is not "mild" for everyone, just on average has less severe effects to the vaccinated

If you are citing something written by Monica Gandhi on COVID please read this and other threads pointing out just how many times she has been wrong wrong wrong and wrong. https://t.co/XJcJ2kytlt

Looking for guidance on how to wear / test / optimize the fit of KN95s and N95 masks.

Honestly, disappointed in @Bob_Wachter calling this "new". We knew this >1 month ago. https://t.co/8UqtflU7WF

Repeat after me.

It is not the flu.
It is not the common cold.
It is not mild.
It is not something to just let rip.

It is something we can and should keep fighting. https://t.co/any0vRZWwr

And the @ucdavis #COVID #s and positivity rates are going up up up up up up up. https://t.co/VsqgJYyw0C

And remember, many people are away right now so, well, the #s when people return will likely be very much higher pic.twitter.com/x6cE3sKnbB
