A bald eagle may have thought it spotted an easy lunch in a Canada goose sitting on an icy bay in Burlington, Ont., but according to Mervyn Sequeira — who watched and photographed a 20-minute battle between the two birds — the goose held its own. cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/…

Today is #WorldSepsisDay!
Sepsis is the final common pathway to death from most infectious diseases worldwide, incl. viruses.
Most people still don't understand that most people dying from #COVID19 are dying from viral sepsis.
These are the most common #sources of #sepsis:
