Pro tip: judge a town by how friendly and healthy its stray animal population is. If they are happy and friendly so are the people, and you are probably safe.

Since ive been in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula every single cat and dog has been so friendly. They come up to me and want pets, cuddles, and of course food. Thry never seem scared or overly cautious, and while they may be a bit on the skinny side they mostly seem pretty healthy for strays. It is no surprise the people are friendly and if you stop on any curb or random bench to sit it wont be long until the closest egyptian will be offering you a free tea while you wait. They truly are a lovely culture here.

Saw this on fedi and I stole it and it's mine now.

I get there's people who want to move past Covid as a political issue, but the idea that "the pandemic is over" is wrong and myopic. Yes, there won't be new lockdowns or "war footing" like in early 2020, but from dealing with the public I can tell you that the sociological impact of the "pandemic" has irrevocably scarred many people. There's also hundreds of millions of people walking around with an irreversible vaccine in their system - what will the long-term effects of this be (not suggesting mass deaths, etc)? Will "public health authorities" ever relinquish their emergency powers? What are the social effects of a generation robbed of their formative years? Will countries continue to inconvenience and dehumanize the unvaccinated holdouts?

Yes, certain countries are realizing Covid is endemic and they're easing restrictions - this is a good thing. But the "pandemic," i.e. the array of bio-security tools and social reconfigurations erected by the System, is not going to substantively end for quite some time.

Now it's a fact that doctors and researchers have been intimidated into silence, and when that's the way you make consensus - whatever you claim you're doing, it's not science.

But this graph is a Rorschach ink-blotch.
