 Things are going the wrong way in Ontario as far as Covid goes.


This number of cases might have been okay a couple of  months ago, but the last month has seen a steady increase. [As always, click on any graph to zoom in.]

But, unless you live in Sodom or Gomorrah (Brampton or Ottawa, or okay, maybe Toronto) you don't have much to wormy about.


What's going on?  

Well, in Brampton it is big family BBQ's and in Ottawa and Toronto, stupid kids doing Jager bombs and belly shots.  

Maybe my shotgunning beer bros from Miami have come north?


But I did notice that North Bay has had some recent cases.  Could someone from Ottawa have recently pierced their bubble?

Now it is not all bad news.


Finnish "researchers", huh?  I'd love to be called that.

"Sir, you've done too much research tonight to be allowed in."

But why Finns?

Well, here is a map showing alcohol expenditures as a % of income around the world. [Click to zoom in and see your country!]


Ireland is #1 (duh....) but Finland is #2.

Finland?

I guess those long winter nights, and endless summer days, provides lots of opportunity for research.

And, unrelated, but while the crack Arnotti Thoughts team was researching alcohol consumption they came across this.


Countries England hasn't invaded are in white.

I guess almost the entire world can complain about colonialism and whatever else you want to complain about that the Brits did.

No way, not me (or Lynn). We didn't even share any of the inhalants we normally share.

You're right - that one guy from from the Ottawa area. The other guy was clean as the driven snow!

Just to clarify your "swipe" at North Bay, here is part of yesterday's bit from our mayor reporting on the recent Covid case in North Bay - "North Bay had no new cases and today marks *67* days without a positive case (* the 38th case occurred outside of Canada and not in North Bay, in fact they were not infectious in our city). Our citizens are doing their part."

Your mayor is good. It was only one case, but the stat didn't say from where. But when you have so few, even one gets you up there on the charts.....
