A pub (The Downsman) in Crawley West Sussex has been forced to close after being linked to 16 new cases of Covid-19 infection (https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/pub-hit-16-confirmed-coronavirus-22412374). Two of the pub's staff have tested positive (and they could have passed on infections) but some of the other 14 positives could have been contracted elsewhere. Having said that, a pub or a bar (because of its nature and the beverages it sells) is not an easy place to minimise the chances of picking up the virus. This is not the first pub-related outbreak and it is most unlikely to be the last.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
