  • Letter from Charles Darwin to Asa Gray (22nd May 1860)

    With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me.— I am bewildered.— I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I shd wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.

  • Which states have the highest rates of long COVID?

    Long COVID refers to the condition where symptoms that surface after recovering from COVID-19 linger for weeks, months, or even years.

    According to data from the Census Bureau, Oklahoma and Montana have the highest percentages of adults who tested positive for COVID-19 and have experienced symptoms lasting longer than three months. About 34% of adults in both states reported long COVID symptoms in November.

    Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama residents have the lowest rates of booster vaccines in the country, at 6.8%, 7.7% and 7.7%, respectively. At least a quarter of adults in these states reported having long COVID symptoms after being infected.
