Quebec’s #forests goes from northern hardwood with sugar #maple, beech, hemlock in the south, to pure boreal black #spruce forests up north. Natural #disturbances, go from single-tree windthrow or mortality in the south, to large stand-replacing #fires in the north.

Cela semble derrière nous à présent, on a retrouvé la vie d'avant ou presque : les restrictions "sanitaires" seront remplacée par celles "énergétiques". Préparons nos couvertures pour l'hiver...

Early implementation, in combination with measures to reduce #transmission rates, likely enhances these effects.

THREAD - What happened at the Huanan #seafood market?

After all this time, the Huanan seafood market still remains the main suspect for a simple reason: most of the early cases had visited at least one market in Wuhan city, and several of them visited the Huanan market. 2/15
According to the report, 10,000 people visited this place every day, making it a perfect setting for an #outbreak. One might argue: what about the cases without market exposure? Good question! 3/15
While California is making significant progress in the fight against the #COVID_19 pandemic, the state still has a long way to go before returning to life as it was before the pandemic hit.

The ongoing vaccine rollout has raised hopes for some semblance of normalcy in the near future.
But experts caution that the pandemic may continue for months and the virus may never fully be eradicated.

Three #coronairus vaccines were granted emergency use authorization because, in clinical trials, they greatly reduced the risk of illness, hospitalizations and deaths.

A: The #NerdyGirls LOVE your efforts to stay fit 💪, but best to hang on to those online or outdoor workouts a bit longer.

#NORWAY #NATO #ARCTIC #CORONAVIRUS #OUTBREAK
NATO soldiers deployed to the Arctic have been tested positive for COVID19 to perform their annual cold weather training.
The troops were expected to participate in the NATO Joint Viking winter warfare exercise scheduled for February 8, which has now been cancelled due to the increasing number of positive test results.
Local reports from the Norwegian website "Nye Troms" say that 53 Americans, 25 British and four Dutch soldiers have tested positive so far. In a statement, Norwegian Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen said:

After an illegal party with up to 150 guests in Bodenkirchen, Lower Bavaria, 20 people have already tested positive for the corona virus.
The Landshut district office announced on Wednesday that these are women and men between 25 and 32 years of age. The health department is trying to track down other party guests and break chains of infection.
Three siblings had invited to the party declared as "Oktoberfest" in the machine hall of a farm. At least 120, possibly 150 people celebrated and danced to draft beer and a live band on October 3rd, it said.
