WHO warns of 'high infection risk' around globe
However, he said the initial evidence suggests that there may be a different mutation that could help prevent the immune response and increase its ability to spread from person to person. The WHO in Geneva assessed the risk of diversity as “extremely high” and urged the Member States to conduct more comprehensive trials. The WHO has informed its 194 member nations that any increase in the number of infected people could have serious consequences, but said that death has not yet been linked to new divisions.

How Did I Become a Lady
I love trees. Planting them, taking care of them, watching them grow. It all started at the beginning of November 2021. I was browsing on the Internet and was thinking about a birthday present for a friend. She is part Scottish, she recently moved but I know that she didn’t want any “stuff”.

Imagine We were not so Stupid
I’ve heard it said that Stupid is as stupid does, and I believe we've all done something that fits that statement. I have done or said some pretty stupid things in my life, mostly when I was young, that I wish I could change. I have grown and learned from those things and believe I am a better person because of that growth. Learning from your mistakes and not repeating them is a natural part of growth that, as individuals, we do well.
