You may be interested in Aska. It asks the question “what if valheim was also a colony sim?”. It’s a bit less chill then Stardew/Portia, but it is a classless, moneyless community building game.

No clue. I tried to Google the article but to no avail.

I remember reading an article a month or two ago about a guy ordering a bunch of precursor amphetamines from China, and the distributor was able to route them through Mexico. He called it “simple” to acquire.

Influenza spreads better in the winter, but Covid seams to peak twice through the year, once in summer and again in winter. The best way to track it is through wastewater surveillance. This is the US tracking dashboard, not sure if Canada has something similar. https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/index.html

My wife and I started using cozi a few months ago. Shared to-do lists, shopping lists, etc with widgets. It’s been nice.

Look up pangolin COVID naming.

That’s because we literally don’t know much. EG.5 has only had 183 sequences submitted to GISAID, and EG.5.1 has had 3400 sequences submitted. This means we only have about 3600 cases confirmed as EG.5, but it’s growth rate since May is crazy fast. 10% of sequences submitted to GISAID by the end of July were for EG.5, compared to 0.02% in May.

Part of the problem is that people have stopped going to the doctor when they can just do a COVID test at home, so we are less able to track individual strains and calculate things like transmission rates. When’s the last time you heard the phrase “contact tracing”?
