I might have dared to speculate, based on wastewater monitoring, that in Ontario 
we might be seeing the crest of Wave 7. Wastewater is pretty much the only near-live monitoring we have left. However, itâs Caribana weekend in Toronto for the first time live and in-person since 2019. The words âafter the pandemicâ popped up a lot in this morningâs radio coverage. 
One of our cats is a bit sick; just cough and sniffles. The vet appointment is this afternoon and weâre hoping the beast doesnât have COVID. It would suck to have made it this far, with family having had to travel around the world 3 times, just to catch it from the cat. 
My wife and I were contemplating offering the vet $50 if she lets us video her giving the cat a nasal rapid test. 
This cat lost it with this particular healthcare worker last time; the vet lost 
after taking the catâs temperature rectally. Clearly the 
has not been keeping up with the news.
