We are 45 days from New Year's, which is typically the peak of COVID's winter season. Currently, #COVID19 viral activity is low, but it will grow considerably.
If we assume a basic reproductive rate of 1.4 (which is not high), every infection we prevent THIS WEEK means 69 fewer infections before NYE (based on a 5-day infection period.)
People wait until risks are high before taking precautions, such as masking. But masking TODAY can prevent dozens of infections over the holidays.
Based on these assumptions, every infection today translates to 1.4 infections in five days, 1.96 infections in ten days, and 2.74 infections in 15 days, peaking at 20.7 infections 46 days from now.
Collectively, that's 69 infections in a string of infections that starts with a single infection today.
Take a little care. Prevent your own suffering. Prevent others' suffering. An infection today could translate to 7 to 14 people with Long COVID due to infections in November and December.
"Israel is breaching international law by continuing to impose restrictions on aid flows into Gaza, where the population remains critically short of food and life-saving goods as winter sets in, a senior official at the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said.
In an interview during a recent visit to Brussels, Natalie Boucly, an Unrwa deputy commissioner general, said the whole world – including the EU and US – needed to increase the pressure on Israel’s government to ensure the unrestricted flow of aid into Gaza.
Unrwa has enough food, tents and other essentials to fill the equivalent of up to 6,000 trucks, Boucly said.
“As winter approaches and famine continues to grip the population, it is critical that all this aid is allowed into Gaza without delay,” she said. “Our supplies would be able to provide food … for the entire population for about three months. And that is sitting outside [in Jordan and Egypt], not able to come in. And that is the case for the other UN agencies because the restrictions and the constraints are still there.”
She estimated that only about half, “if that”, of the 500-600 daily truckloads needed were getting into the devastated territory."
"Quiet, piggy." Hard to believe this man can find new ways to shock, embarrass and shame our nation -- half of it, anyway.

To understand how ignorant the anti-foreigner folks are, consider this photo from the hate march in London today.
That's the flag of Georgia they're waving.
Georgia. A foreign country.
Mohammed is Anne Frank.
Only he’s not writing to you. He is showing you exactly what is happening.
And he’s still here. Still alive. Still trying to survive genocide.
Can you see him? Can you hear him?
Will you help?

Hello my friends, how are you? I caught a heat stroke, or the flu, or covid. I swear I am sick and tired. My temperature is high. My body aches. I feel very dizzy. My bones ache.
Famine food is difficult in body, it needs to be eaten, vitamins, and my protein.
Please keep me in your prayers.
