Since English is my first language, I don’t feel I have the right to comment on this development. But it may be of interest to people considering a postdoc in Norway 🇳🇴

We are learning the wrong lessons from lockdown And unless we learn the right ones, we risk making the same mistakes in a new pandemic

It's 5 yrs today since lockdown started in England, but "We must never have lockdown again" is the wrong lesson.

Lockdowns are terrible but so are deadly pandemics.

Our choices 5 years ago were limited - we can & must do better in the future.

Do read my post.

'The question should be “lockdowns were terrible, so how can we prevent the spread of a new pandemic so we never need one again?”'

New from @chrischirp.bsky.social on the 5-year anniversary of the first Covid 'lockdown'.

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.

NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.

NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.

We need to push back.
