There seem to be new risk factors postulated for contracting Covid-19 infections on a daily basis (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/31/baldness-rashes-covid-19-risk-factors-symptoms-hearing-loss-coronavirus-studies). I have got used to age being a factor (and there is nothing much any of us can to about that). Thank goodness, however, that I am not bald and tall. The link to length (I am 2m) is based on one slightly odd, preliminary study, suggesting that the finding gives support to the aerosol mode of infection (hot air with breathed out droplets containing the virus rises).
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.
