Yes, between the "Wappies" (Dutch word that gained a new modern meaning during the pandemic) and the rich countries just neglecting their promises to the third world concerning vaccines, the current international situation is certainly a lot worse than it could and should have been.

Eeyup. Things had been relatively good around here, but then one of our university sports teams came back from another university where a sizable outbreak was happening and failed to isolate, some members of which attended a large convocation ceremony that was held in violation of public health guidelines and turned into a super-spreader event. We've had more cases in the past week than we have in the entire rest of the pandemic combined, and the province as a whole has gone from being internationally recognized as one of the best responses overall to having the highest per capita case rate in the country.

Someone I hung out with tested positive, rip timing

One of my coworkers tested positive a week after I'd gone out for drinks with her and some other people from my team. The bar in question was identified as an exposure site, so I'd already been tested and found negative before her result came in (she figures it came from her daughter), but it's still kind of alarming how close I came.
