This year's flu season is just getting warmed up, it looks like it is going to be a doozy. The main circulating strain has several mutations which seem to be making it better at escaping this year's vaccine, and maybe also more severe. You were smart to mask up, flu is airborne, very bloody contagious, and the hospitals are starting to feel the strain.

Just wait until everyone has been hugging and kissing Christmas and New Year.. ...

Hospitals in the UK end up using refrigerated trailers for over flow of dead bodies..... practical solution to a seasonal problem.

A clip show called customer wars had this exact thing happen in brazil but they realized at the ticket counter that the drunk passenger in the wheelchair was actually dead!

I've seen them wheeling dead people into a bank or post office in the UK ..trying to collect money.... ..

The crows where I used to hunt deer led me to more than one. They apparently learned to associate peeps with rifles with gut piles. Any time I heard a crow having a hissy fit, I would always check it out, and at least twice that I recall, the crow was making a racket sitting on a branch near the deer, and hung around until I had left the gut pile. Birds in the crow family have smarts that are easily underestimated.

They are also very effective at teamwork. I studied sea lions years ago. I lived on a pupping colony during the spring when pups were all born. When the afterbirth appeared, the crows were keen on getting at it, they seemed to figure that it was some kind of delicacy. But immediately after the birth, the cow was super protective of both the pup and the afterbirth, at least that is what the behaviour appeared like. What the crows would do is one of them would tease and distract the cow's attention away from the afterbirth while the other crow sneaked in there and grabbed a beak full. After a bit, they would share by changing places. This was a regular pattern where I studied, not just a one off. I suspect that the technique gets passed along through observation and learning from other birds.

If you want to get more fascinating examples, google Indonesian Crow intelligence. Some of the things these birds can do bends my brain.

When a crow dies, its flock (called a murder) gather around the death place for a moment of silence.

They transmit knowledge inter-generationaly too. If you threaten one, it's offspring and their offspring will recognise you!

(coughing sniffling)
My wife put off her covid shot and got covid. 6 days and still sick.

My daughter had her covid and flu shot but caught a flu that would have been much worse.

Last week I shared an Uber and the other passenger was hacking and sneezing without a mask! Not even coughing into his elbow. Asshole.

I don't have the same symptoms as my wife or daughter....so I know I that I caught it from that guy.
