In tears, a nurse says she quit her job after she was asked to work in a coronavirus ICU without a face mask: “America is not prepared, and nurses are not being protected” https://t.co/ywoSuLOPYP pic.twitter.com/S5BsnlO5nt

It is insane that our nurses are being forced to care for the sick without masks and respirators. The Department of Labor must immediately issue emergency workplace standards to protect our health workers, their families, and their patients. https://t.co/Z8dWqtxz5X

Behold: the BMW R9T – a heavily customised, some would say ‘Steampunked’ take on the BMW R18 by Mikhail Smolyanov and John Reed of Russian custom shop Ziller’s Garage.
A stunning piece of aluminium hog-sculpture with ground clearance so minimal, you’ll probably only be able to ride it safely in the kitchen.
Malojian – The Singularity
Is this the first great song about the way we live now, post-Coronavirus?
Belfast troubadour Stevie Scullion (above) aka Malojian wrote this on his piano last month and then sent it to his friend Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, who added atmospherics and produced it.
The result is an elegant, mournful but ultimately optimistic hymn to the resilience of the human spirit.
The song is available on bandcamp.
Nick says: Lockdown blues.
