16 December

Again I apologise for those who find Covid discussion distasteful. Plenty of things for you to scroll past and look at instead. But think of it this way, if the government has given up keeping you healthy (which it explicitly has), what you understand about what’s happening right now may save your life and/or the life of people you love. And only the public ends a pandemic, in how they act. And how they act is based on what they understand. This graph *should* inspire all of us to really pay attention for once, not just rehash deadly, empty slogans like ‘live with the virus’, or ‘only hospitalisations matter’. Near-vertical growth. Very, very bad news. At a minimum, wear a mask. And avoid public crowds, particularly inside.
