In Germany the police union has complained that its members are stretched thin. They have too many protests to contain. Not two weeks ago an open letter was sent to government signed by several hundred doctors denouncing mandates and lockdowns and the vaccine itself.

Government is becoming more and more

desperate. They are desperate because they are losing. We will win.

I have a parakeet just like that! Little Girl! He's actually a boy but we misgendered him when he was a baby birdie. ;)

el gato this might be worth drawing some attention to (at the risk of making them totally erase the data)

Lovely page with data for Ontario, Canada: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data

Data updates paused on Dec 24 until Dec 28 for Christmas. Data updates resumed today, Dec 29.

I would like to draw your attention to the very interesting first graph, showing cases per 100,000 split out by unvaxed, partially vaxed, fully vaxed. It shows steep increases in all three categories (since Nov 25, 2021), but steepest of all in fully vaxed category. In fact, on Dec 24, fully vaxed cases per 100,000 exceeds unvaxed cases per 100,000 for first time (in this dataset).

Then the pause hits (Christmas Eve). Then the updates resume (today). Every data set on this page is updated except this one. Wonder why? Fortunately, they give you a link to the raw data, found here:

https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/covid-19-vaccine-data-in-ontario/resource/eed63cf2-83dd-4598-b337-b288c0a89a16

Will it surprise you to learn that the data (7 day moving average, cases per 100,000) looks like this:

Date Unvaxed Partial Fully Vaxed

2021-12-24 31.93 29.43 32.39

2021-12-25 36.44 34.74 39.79

2021-12-26 39.42 38.77 45.93

2021-12-27 42.66 43.35 51.95

2021-12-28 45.65 47.72 57.67

2021-12-29 49.9 52.43 63.92

I don't know how to paste the graphs, but I'm sure you do. Please, please, please do.

Thanks! Love your work.

My boyfriend in HS gave me a yellow budgie. I do not like pet birds. I kept it. One day after cleaning its cage I was sitting on the kitchen floor avoiding its exceptionally vicious beak while trying to pet it. Suddenly a black blurr... no budgie outside of 2 floating feathers.. My cat seized the moment, jumped in from the open window, dove in, grabbed the bird and ran out all without touching me. Finger still in the out position. No bird.

Cats are a marvel.

Omg, I laughed so hard at this! It made me choke on my breakfast a little, but it was worth it. 😅

Yikes! Shouldn't there be a trigger warning for a photo showing an unmasked open mouth? Or at the very least a "NSFW"?

Let’s assume that omicron is a cold. It could mutate again into something more severe.

THe new Merck’s drug can help with that. It seems like a variant roulette
