We’ve now reached an impressive 40 to 80 times the alert threshold on average
Where I live Covid patients now occupy more than twice the ICU beds we normally have
Glad Omicron is mild!
(This being Twitter -yep it’s f*cking sarcasm, since we still haven’t found the way to duplicate healthcare staff)

I *hate* Covid
Pretty much as much as I hate senseless policies that did not made ventilation indoor the norm since 2020, Covid denial "freedom to infect" shadowy funders and that stupid "it should be alright if we say so" nonsense rhetoric
Doliprane isn’t cutting it -still at 39.8
Got some ibuprofen for tonight
In the meanwhile the bath is going wonders
He’s smiling, playing
Best I’ve seen it all day
F*ck
Kid just woke up with a nose bleed
Bye ibuprofen
(Fever’s down but hey)
A word on masking kids
(compulsory in France for a while)
There was an outbreak at my kids’ school
It started in unmasked 3/5 yr old classes -then spread to families/older siblings
Teachers were spared
So masks help
But school level ventilation/circuit breaker are also needed
When the outbreak started in 5 yr old class it closed for a week. Then the 3/4 yr old class. But -despite tests- the virus was circulating within families. To the other classes. That all ended up closing one after the other (at 3 cases per classes) while kids underwent many tests
A 15 days circuit breaker, imo, would have been easier to manage for parents and more efficient at curbing infections than taking the kids in and off school, for a day, a week, a day, a week as the virus spread.
And something needs to be done for unmasked younger classes.
I'm so tired
(Normal tired not Covid tired tho -much better)
✌️
It's a little disheartening that working as much as I can and more isn't enough (yet)
I wanted to tidy/clean the whole appartment before the kids come back tomorrow
But instead I think I'm going to go for pedagogy/life lesson: We'll do that together.
Next year :-)
I'll just give a little extra effort workwise tomorrow, and then set the setting for New Year's Eve home camping -and that will do
This time we will time travel to dinosaur time and great ancient civilisations
(Nice that I got to borrow this BTW)
Oh look the guy claiming to stand for the right of independent countries to do what they f*ck they want free of foreign interference
Being the foreign interference designed to push for protective moves he can then blame as foreign interference/agression against him
NATO: “Hey, country, want to join NATO?”
Country: “Nah, thanks.”
Putin: “Let me warn you, I won’t let you do that!”
Country: “Hmm. Having second thoughts now.”
Putin: “See how they are all being manipulated to unite against me?”
Narrator: “Yeah whose fault is that again?”
This is a little bit like U.K. politics BTW (tho on authoritarian steroids)
Serving a domestic audience to keep them from reacting to a spectacular collection of corruption and wrongdoings ultimately making their lives hell
