Day 12 and improvement re : CV 19 not evident. To wit, in Quebec a plan to allow social gatherings o 10 was kaiboshed by the Premier. No way Jose said Legault or  ' pas possible en francais '

Ontario is barely keeping numbers down. To be fair, the testing numbers are high, so maybe values are skewed slightly. But CV 19 is there - no doubt.
The alarming data is that ICU beds are past full. Thus, no wiggle room for hospitals. In the spring, elective surgeries were postponed but the backlog of surgical procedures is mammoth. 
Stuffed to the gills is the expression that applies. 

Surprise. Pfizer announces a delay. Yes, its coming but not as much as first estimated.

Snow started this hour, heavy at times. The ground is not white but these are big flakes, coming straight down. The temperature on the back deck is 32  - ish

Occasionally, I catch a talk bit on CBC, yesterday, the topic was nostalgia. Turns out everyone loves nostalgia. The guest admitted that no one actually wants to go back 30 yrs. They recognize that technology is different and we are addicted. Then what is w/ nostalgia ? 

The general conclusion is that nostalgia is a touch stone - our past. Is it still there ? Its where we are from, and of course, we can choose to remember ' good ' times without the baggage of today. A sort of purified experience and skip the bad parts.

Another contributor noted that we talk nostalgia but want the latest in electronics ' as in new is better and newer is the cats pajamas '
