New hazard index just dropped from Covid-19 Resources Canada and @MoriartyLab. Around 1 in 31 British Columbians (and 1 in 19 Canadians) have COVID-19 right now. Full info at https://covid19resources.ca/covid-hazard-index/.
Compared to lowest point of the pandemic so far in BC:
🔴 Infections ~7.8X higher
🔴 Long COVID ~4.5X higher
🔴 Hospitalizations ~12.3X higher (up from the last forecast)
🔴 Deaths ~10.6X higher
Stay safe out there: ventilate, vaccinate, educate, mitigate 😷 And remember to tell the Canadian government to fund COVID safety by February 9th: https://donoharmbc.ca/tell-the-federal-government-to-fund-covid-safety-in-2024/

Do you, or have you ever, used a graphical user interface? If you use #Windows, #macOS, or any version of #Linux with a window manager or desktop environment, you can thank Dr. Clarence "Skip" Ellis.
Dr. Ellis worked at Xerox PARC, the research organization that developed the modern GUI. Icons, windows, the mouse, Ethernet-based networking, laser printing - all of these (and more) came out of PARC. Dr. Ellis led the team that created Officetalk, the first program to use icons and the Internet. He got his start at 15 years old showing a local tech company how to reuse punch cards, which was a game-changer back in 1958.
Oh, and he was also the first black man to earn a PhD in Computer Science.

MY FRIENDS. WE HAVE PROPER LOOKING CINNAMON ROLLS.
Just....ignore those middle ones.
The secret was to cut them into strips THEN roll them. They rolled perfectly. The middleones are still silly looking, but onl because I didn't cut the "edges" or the end of the dough. I'll do that next time, whenever that is.
I'm calling this a success and FINALLY moving on to another bread next week!
