@merryarty @simplync FWIW, my immunologist wife did try to explain this to me, because apparently the immune systems of children functions significantly differently from (post-puberty) adults. But I also admit that I lost the thread fairly quickly.
My daughters’ rendition of “We wish you a Merry Lockdown and a Happy New Tier” is simultaneously very cute and mildly creepy.
@AdeMacLeod @journalismnews Captivating people with your stories is the baseline. This is about finding and building a relationship with those you captivate. #justsaying

@BenjiJGreen My deepest condolences.
@freecloud @voinonen @katebevan A TEDx talk over-simplifying an idea? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked.
@katherine_may No - thank you. This was exactly the book I needed at this point in my life.
