To everyone asking about it fogging up, if you use washing up liquid, toothpaste or anti fog spray it'll do the trick! You can also google tips from scuba divers on how they prevent their masks from fogging up

There is no moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel. There *is* moral equivalence between dead Israeli children and dead Palestinian children. Hamas beheaded Israeli children. 1 million in Gaza are under the age of 19. Neither picked their govt, leaders, or circumstances.

Ireland has a MASSIVE antisemitism problem rooted in the old blood libel culture from the Catholic Church. It's much, much older than when Ireland supported Hitler. A lot of people are surprised to find out just how bad it still is. Not surprised by this reaction at all.

Many of us have lost friends or been ghosted by them because we didn’t want to be infected by a BSL3 pathogen. But on the plus side, now we know definitively that they certainly weren’t worth risking long-term illness or disability for.
