I was on my way to the next hospital I'll be working at for the next three months. I had heard about a bad outbreak of mad cow disease in Thorp, WI which was right on my way and the situation was far worse than I expected.
The prion causing the disease had clearly mootated and given the cows some strange powers.
The first thing I noticed was that the cows had picked up a chromatophore gene from cephalopods. They had started to use this ability to camouflage themselves in many locations. I stayed in my car for many of hidden camera photos, so I apologize for the quality of some.
Some weren't very adept at fast changes, and I captured this one after it had obviously been sneaking around in a quilt shop. I hope the owner is ok, but I found something that I will show later indicating that I don't think they are.
One decided to try to pretend to be a vegetable, thinking most people wouldn't fear that as much as a bovid.
One had gone the inorganic route and had taken the place of a street sign at a T-intersection. I think this might have been a ploy to get people to normalize bovid morphology in the city.
What became evident to me was that some were clearly trying to bait people. I couldn't quite determine what the end goal was initially.
I came across some evidence showing that this has become an international problem and not just limited to this small town. Perhaps ground zero was in Poland.
The next few images are rather horrifying, because I realized that this had become the Invasion of the Body MOOchers. The first I found was the replacement of a local dentist. Don't let that smile deceive you. I bet it had consumed the dentist and took over their practice.
Next I found that many city services had been taken over, almost like a version of Antelope, OR being taken over by the Rashneesh cult and being renamed Rashneeshpuram in the 1980s. The first seemed benign, but perhaps this was a ploy to get waterfowl infected as well.
It continued to get darker as I found their minister of propaganda.
The school principal...
The fire chief...
And the police chief had all been replaced.
The worst though was that I found that they were putting on a patina of patriotism and forming an army. God help us.

I've been suspecting that there is much more COVID circulating than we know. The problem is that the scant data that we had keeps disappearing under this regime.
2- One of the few data sources right now is Google symptom searches. Here's the raw data for the US. I had noticed that these were increasing in many states as I was updating my website last evening.
Same data set, but with linear trend lines. I use one month into the pandemic as a crossover to allow time for social services to normalize and to eliminate skewed data during the start. Dotted - pre, solid - COVID era.

Now some calculus. The dotted line is the six prior month derivative, the solid one is the six month moving average of the derivative. The distance above the black dotted line is proportional to the increasing rate of claims.
This is exactly why I find this administration disgusting besides the fact that it is completely tone deaf. However, there is plenty of evidence that this is nothing new for Americans, even though we are all immigrants.
I read In the Garden of the Beasts in the spring of 2016, before the melon felon even had the Republican nomination. I found the parallels very disturbing.
2- When he got elected, I decided to fly to Munich to study the rise of Nazism right after the Inauguration. I wanted to understand how what was probably a normal population of people allowed it to happen. I could have just stayed here.
3- During the trip, I visited Dachau. I intentionally went on the rainiest, coldest day during my trip. I knew it would be nothing like the misery that was experienced there, but I wanted to feel something.
Back when we had good case data early in the pandemic, I could predict the day cases would climb about 10 days out with nearly 99% accuracy. Unfortunately, that data supply and resolution is long gone.
2-
Now the earliest warning I can give is based on my observations of surges occurring when a variant becomes about 50% of submitted samples.
