Just a quick update to let you know that we spiked so much that we had to resize the chart. This was before New Year’s Eve: This is today. We are around 170.800 new cases. In one day. The death toll is stationary, hospitalizations are going up steadily but not spiking. Yet. On the eleventh […]
Well, it’s been a while since I posted a status of things update, hasn’t it? We’re fastly approaching two years of this shit, so yay to that. Meanwhile, I got vaccinated (Pfeizer), doubled (Pfeizer again) and boosted (Moderna). As it happened with a lot of people I know, I woke up from the booster feeling […]
I haven’t posted a global update in a while and I rarely take a look at that dashboard anymore, at least until we get a new one with vaccination rates. Still, it’s due to record some picures, once in a while, since this has turned out to be something like Anne Franke’s diary (hopefully, with […]
Well, Easter is in one week and, as announced, all of Italy will be made into a red zone. I remind you that when you’re red you basically have to justify that you’re getting out of the house because you really really need to, you can’t visit friends and you can only visit relatives if […]
Last week‘s problems did not go away, but they were not resolved either. They stayed there, festering like infected wounds, and this casted a shade of immobility on the whole week, a week otherwise plagued by more troubles, more bad news and a general lack of improvement on all fronts. Yesterday evening the football team […]
This week has been tough, and I feel like I failed. Failed as a friend, as a mentor, and leader. Although I consider myself to be a rather accomplished professional, it’s no big news: we can put it there, right next to all my other failures and they can chat amongst each other at night. […]
Well, I spent the whole week in quarantine and I must say that my week didn’t change much. Sure, I wasn’t able to go to the laundry and pick up some stuff that has been there for at least a month, but they’re used to it, by now. Sure, I had to scare the delivery […]
Hey there, people, it’s almost spring, and this week I was in class! As you know, I have been diligently avoiding in-person teaching, unless it was absolutely necessary (which often istn’t). I firmly believe it would have been our respinsibility to minimize contacts so that what’s really necessary can go on, and it’s necessary for […]
Good evening, my darlings. I apologize for not sharing any update, but things have been crazy: lots of clients haven’t been working for months, this year (their choice: they didn’t trust people to work from home) and they just discovered that – oddly enough – December, 31st didn’t move. It’s like your regular closure for […]
Oooook, the week-end started off with a blast. Specifically, it started off like this. I have never had a panic attack in my entire life, so it might as well have been a stroke. Even if, in moments like these, you discover lots of highly educational comparative tables: is it a stroke or is it […]
