Plague Diary

A 2037-post collection

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news:

  • 20 566 new cases
  • 109 524 total active cases
  • 529 hospitalisations
  • 27 in ICU
  • 1 new death.

Vax news:

  • 289 717 doses given nationally
  • 53 208 doses given in Qld

I have stuff to do today. Dungeon room for the players to dragon in, title checks for the anthology, at least one page of edits in Adapting, the WORDPRESS THING... I'm a little bit lost for ideas and all my old ones still suck.

Maybe Learn Some Manners: OR YOU'RE A TERRORIST because we have an abundance of Knomiras causing more plague in the world than their "charming" selves. Something must be said because I can't go around smacking every single Knomira upside the head and then yell at them until I get hoarse.

I want to, but the logistics are impossible.

So now I'm bunkering because we're at over 100K total active cases. Even though the biggest of plague pits is the Gold Coast and I am very far away. All it takes is a Knomira from NSW to go on a coughing tour of Queensland and I'm as good as toast.

Beloved insists that I'll be fine. I can only hope.

In the news:

  • Clip leaks of Chanel Seven news hosties calling Snowflake Tennis Star a "lying arsehole"
  • Snowflake has to leave Australia. Some of Australia is rejoicing
  • NSW has plans for free rapid tests and an economic support package to "live with the virus"
  • Plague hits rubbish collection services
  • More and more people are sick of CEO bullshit
  • Two fuckwits charged with the murder of an 8YO girl
  • Bitcoin nonsense
  • One nation proves that lockdowns don't work against Omicron, allegedly
  • Joe Rogan caught the plague and insists on remaining antivax
  • Booster shots can cure warts
  • Maccas are shutting down because of the staffers in Iso
  • China breaks record for sustained fusion reaction - so they claim
  • Nurse rescues her patient's dog from animal shelter

I publish stories, I edit things, I get on with nonsense.

Tuesday, Day 0, Patreon

Plague news:

  • 9 518 new cases
  • 81 581 total active cases

Vax news:

I've said it before, but I really miss the infographic. Ugh.

I have Patreon nonsense to post, editing to do, and I aim to make myself tag some firkin stories. Yes, folks, my editor is back in business. Huzzah.

Also dungeoning

  • 8 million total administrations in Queensland
  • 34 096 new administrations in Queensland

I don't have many plans to go anywhere and do anything. It's Long Monday because D&D, so I have no expectations.

...and I just spent some significant time trying to Homebrew a Not-Deer.

In the news:

  • Sebian Snowflake sent warnings and threats

Sunday, Day 0, Back onto the bullshit

Plague news:

  • 11 174 new cases
  • 62 919 total active cases
  • 365 hospitalisations
  • 17 in the ICU

Vax news:

  • Not available because the data is 404'd

URGH I hate that I can't update the stats nor easily compare the states and territories.

I am back to early bedtimes because Long Monday is back on because D&D. I do these things to myself...

Good news on a personal level:
- I am now a Twitch Affiliate! Yay... ::curlytoot noise:: - My

Thanks to the info still being in an Excell Spreadsheet, I can no longer tell who's winning the vax rates.

Today's good news is that I have two contenders for Fic o' the Week. One's a collab and definitely written during a stream

Friday, Day 0, Shenanigans

Plague news:

  • 10 332 new cases.
  • 42 250 total active cases.
  • 296 in hospital.
  • 12 in the ICU.
  • and one more death.

Vax news: Unavailable because of improper formatting

I feel increasingly like my government has abandoned me and every other ordinary citizen in favour of keeping the cash flow up. Damnit.

I have to go out and acquire a calendar so I can keep track of nonsense. Including school hols. And, let's be honest, decorate the kitchen a little bit. Since

Thursday, Day 0, Hargleblargle

Plague news: 6 781 new cases. 32 312 total active cases, 275 are in hospital, 10 are in the ICU.

Vax news:

  • 43 Million total vaccines administered nationally
  • 40K doses given in Queensland, yesterday

I personally hate what's going on with the government information sites. It's less accessible and that's likely so that nobody looks close enough to see how bad we're failing at controlling the damn disease.

We're not "living with the virus", we're letting it take over.

Today, I am

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: 5 699 new cases. No more stats on imports versus local transmission, thanks a bunch. 25 924 total active cases, 205 are in hospital, 11 are in the ICU.

Vax news:

  • Australia's had 24 925 new doses administered
  • Queensland's daily doses have increased by 5 478

It really feels like everyone's given up. I joked with Beloved that everyone else will get Omicron but I'll go down with Delta. It's not very funny.

I have noticed, and corrected, a problem

  • 8.2 Million doses administered in Queensland, total
  • 4K increase in Queensland
  • I am mathematically incapable of sorting out anything else from this, pls bring back the infographic, National Health.

Monday, Day 0, I Fucked Up

Plague news: No new plague news today.

Vax news: No new vax news today.

Given this, it's easy to think the government has entirely given up on keeping people safe from the plague. I'm assuming Day Zero. It's safer.

I forgot to set my alarm for D&D and Beloved forgot to be sure I made it there. My players have forgiven me and they were resourceful enough to do some non-canonical battle practice during the lost time.

Next week. Next

Sunday, Day 0, Sunshine and Cyclones

Plague news: 3 592 new cases, 3 587 local, 5 imports. That makes 16 688 total active cases, 170 of those are in hospital and 5 are in the ICU.

Vax news: no vax news for the 1st of January 2022

I have spent too long awake because my sleep cycle is out of sync with the rest of the local nonsense, so all I have planned is writing and napping. And eating good foods.

There's finally some sunshine, so I may

  • 83.4% fully vaxxed

I'm starting to believe that maybe Omicron might be the variant to get... but I'd still rather wait until those miracle drugs are available before I take the risk.
