A 3600-post collection

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 aiming to scan the codes so I can digitally own more sourcebooks and seeing what things I can adapt for my pack of numpties when they get on the road from Phandalin to Waterdeep.

Yes I do plan things this far ahead.

In the news:

  • Tennis star given free reign to spread plague is now in trouble for his visa
  • Scammers in the US are phishing via plague testing popups
  • China's new plan is apparently to buy the world
  • The flu and the plague team up in Brazil to create "Flurona"
  • Randy Andy about to face consequences for messing with kids?
  • 6YO buys her first home
  • Baby misdiagnosed as stillborn persists in surviving
  • Weirdo strips to bikini and dances in Bunnings
  • Blurry out-of-focus trailcam pic of some rando guy mistaken for an alien
  • Plague leads to shopping limits returning
  • Melania Trump into Crypto
  • Ancient land whales discovered in North America

Soon - the rest of my nonsense.

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:

  • 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

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

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

Seasonal Seasonings

No story today. I am not looking at the news, I am not looking at the plague statistics. For Christmas, I am giving myself temporary peace of mind.

Today's goals are:

  1. Stay safe on the road
  2. Family time
  3. Presents

IF I get any writing done today, I will count it as either a fluke or dedication/obsession on my part because I won't be bringing my Lappy on today's road trip.

It is the Silly Season, the temporary madness when we all

At some point later today, I shall record a special Crimbolio message for Twitch. That way, I can do all my social media messages while Twitch gets the video.

Today, I shall be cleaning
