D&D and the rising pandemic

Their educated guesswork is generally superior to our uneducated guesswork.

I mean, unless you wanna go take ivermectin, or something.



Alas, personal anecdotes are not data.

of course it is.
That is why I am vaccinated and not in the pitchfork and torch crowd.

But, still, the truth is that we do not know everything about this thing and that more things will be proven wrong what we though was right.
But most things will be confirmed as correct.

Ottawa police chief resigns. Last weekend, citizens decided to block a road themselves against a new anti-vaxxers convoy arriving in Ottawa, because the police weren't doing anything. Hopefully, the new chief will be a better strategist and tactician.

Another border blockade was abandoned in Manitoba. RCMP police opened another blockade in British Colombia making multiple arrests. Definitely, a shift since Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergency Act.

Our weekly comic order (which trucks all the way across Canada) is late again this week (meaning we don't have any of LAST week OR this week's Diamond comics). I am told that it is because of the Truck protests.

It's been bad enough since most of our roads washed out due to climate change. Life sure is "fun" these days!

I've been making jokes that it's time for the 9.8 richter earthquake that we've been expecting for a few hundred years.

...Not that my joke is all that funny.

What is everyone overseas doing in regards to dining out?

Omicron here but cases are very low atm. We're looking at take out more but are thinking of a last hurrah at our local.

They do social distancing, all staff in masks, vaccine passport and it's a quiet night and we can dine outside. Both of us are double vaxxed + booster.

Think the larger family dining things are out the window.

If it's a place where you get the food at the counter and it"s almost empty then I've been eating in.

Omicron looks to be going down quickly here's so probably won't be too long before I get more open in eating out.

I mostly don't dine out. There've been a couple of exceptions - one dim sum place has really good ventilation, and huge amounts of space between tables for the carts to get by, and I've been there... twice during the pandemic.

Thankfully, I live in an area with many, many choices for delivery.

Only two other people here early. Multiple bookings though.

Double shot vaccine rates age 12+ hit 94.7%. 48.4% boosters.

Kid rates lower but they only offered that recently. 46% 5-11 yo.

Got vaccine passed we normally come here for breakfast the night staff checking the passports.

In Croatia we have the "gremlin" variant of Covid.

All the bars, restaurant, clubs, gyms are open until midnight.

Because government think that Covid spreads only from 24.00h until 06.00h.

good thing is that most clubs require covid pass as it gets really crowded.

I have been taking more risks dining out, but, more often than not, I try to make sure I’m not seated too near other diners.

And I’m not dining out daily, that’s for sure. Takeout happens more often than dine in, probably…4-1.
