Why are more than 300 Americans still dying every week in the ongoing pandemic?

The reasons are obvious… People are still dying of covid because people just keep getting covid, people are not getting vaccinated, people are not wearing masks even where they're likely to spread viruses to vulnerable people like healthcare settings, and a lot of people are not testing even, so they don't' even know they're spreading covid, and also then not calling their doctor for treatment.

Why are more than 300 people in the US still dying from COVID every week? Experts say there is low vaccine uptake and people are not accessing treatments. ByMary Kekatos May 24, 2025, 5:02 AM More than five years after the first cases of COVID-19 were detected in the United States, hundreds of people are still dying every week. Last month, an average of about 350 people died each week from COVID, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Podcasters and livestreamers are big culprits in the not testing category. "Oh I'm sick and I wonder what I have. Maybe it's a cold." Never understood the recklessness to get covid over and over of people who use their voice for a living and have no paid sick time, but there we are. So one would hope that more podcasters would be getting covid boosters, encouraging others to do so, and making a ruckus over restrictions on them.

I'll wait. If you know of any livestreamers or podcasters who are actually promoting vaccination, please let me know, send me clips or links, and I will make a point of letting people know who they are.

And I really wish podcasters would stop saying "during covid" already.

In a general sense, such processes are referred to as carbon dioxide sequestration or mitigation (Fig. 8.17):

Geological sequestration – capture of carbon dioxide from the stack gases, and pumping it into 'safe' reservoirs on land or in the oceans

Biological sequestration – growing vegetation in quantities large enough to consume amounts of carbon dioxide equivalent to that released during energy consumption. The vegetation (biomass) that is produced can itself be used as a fuel, creating a closed production/consumption cycle.

A challenge I want to issue to Solarpunk Storytelling! Ground it!

I'm reading a lot about the role of transformative adaptation in response to disaster, and indigenous communities. There is a link in restoring cultural connections based in land, adaptation to climate change, and improved health of indigenous communities. There was also an Australian study that found that caring for the land had a dual benefit in adaptation, not only in adapting the land to respond better to climate disaster, but also in the health of Aboriginal people who worked implementing the adaptation practices.

Part of what makes it so transformative is that adaptive responses to climate change are extremely place based. You don't establish a mangrove to reduce the shock of typhoons in the American Midwest, and you don't do controlled burns in coral reefs.

I see and read a lot of fruit trees and solar panels in Solarpunk concepts, which is great, they definitely have a place in our bright future! But not everywhere in the world is going to be a sunny food forest because not everywhere can support that.

I want to see more Solarpunk narratives integrate adaptive techniques, and maybe put mitigation on top of it! Does a town's seawall have solar panels on top? Do we root mangrove forests on offshore turbines? Adaptive strategies are a part of human response to climate change, and they're grounded in place, I'd love to see more of those ideas! What kind of biome is being restored in this narrative, and how does that look different?

The man in the ancient story trembled and paused over the scattered limbs of his child, and failed in the pursuit, -- the true penitent rushes over the mangled members of nature and passion, collects them with a hand in which there is no pulse, and a heart in which there is no feeling, and holds them up in the face of the Divinity as a peace offering. Mine is the best theology, -- the theology of utter hostility to all beings whose sufferings may mitigate mine.

Using a variety of methods, he spread knowledge about the numerous benefits of sustainable energy systems, organizing social gatherings and enlightening educational initiatives, which emphasizes its beneficial effects on the environment and the human experience.

The Importance of Renewable Energy: Reasons to Learn About and Support Sustainable Energy

The journey of Tapuwa Dangarembizi sheds light on the significance of renewable energy sources in the context of addressing the most urgent problems facing the world today. A few of the most important reasons why everyone should learn about and support sustainable energy are as follows:

Climate Change Mitigation: Electricity generation facilities that burn fossil fuels to create electricity are an important factor contributing to global warming because of the greenhouse gases they release. On the other hand, renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower give us lesser carbon footprints and have the upside of helping to make serious progress toward achieving the reduction of global emissions.

Energy Access and Equity: Energy access for underprivileged communities around the world can be significantly enhanced by adopting sustainable energy solutions. By bridging the energy gap, it provides people everywhere with access to affordable, reliable electricity and gives them authority over their own energy futures. Creating a sustainable and fair energy future for the world requires prioritizing renewable resources.

Energy Security: When countries find themselves dependent on a limited supply of fossil fuels, their energy security is threatened because they are more vulnerable to market fluctuations and political unrest. Countries can seek to accomplish and strengthen their energy security by diversifying their energy portfolios and reducing their reliance on imported fossil fuels by adopting the use of renewable energy sources.

Environmental Preservation: The future of our planet's environment is at stake. The air we breathe and the water we drink are tainted by conventional energy sources. Once lush forests are collapsing before our very eyes. Sustainable energy, on the other hand, shines like a light by protecting ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity, and keeping our planet habitable for future generations to inherit.

Wrapping up!

In pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, Tapuwa Dangarembizi's journey illustrate the ability of individuals to effect change. By understanding and supporting sustainable energy, we can all work toward a greener, more sustainable future. It is a moral responsibility to support renewable energy sources, encourage energy conservation, and lobby for policies and following Leading the Way to a Green Horizon - Tapuwa Dangarembizi's Sustainable Energy Breakthroughs that will accelerate the transition of economies around the world to ones that are powered by clean energy.

What is the significance of this lock?

You could say it is a “key” part of railway road safety. When a train requires maintenance and is coming in to the depot, the road it is travelling on is required to be secured shortly after arrival in addition to shutting down the engine and chocking .

On each road is a lock box where maintenance personnel working on the particular road put their lock on and have a photo identifying the lock owner and remove the key so no one can remove the lock and unlock the road. By putting locks on and taking the keys with each person with the lock , it is a fail safe system to ensure the road cannot be unlocked and put personnel working on the train in danger .

There are different coloured locks representing different maintenance personnel working on the train

Red -Employee locks (like in the above photo)

Orange -Contractors

Black-Master lock that can unlock the other locks

Green- Shift supervisor’s lock that goes in the inside of the lockbox and can’t be taken out until each individual lock is taken off on the outside

Purple- Represents a shift change over
