We noticed the trees were quieter last year. There are a lot of mature trees around here so you have to learn to live with cardinals, blue jays, crows, even hawks nesting and making a racket. The birds seems to be back in Ontario this year, hopefully; the trees are noisier again.

I post this primarily to bring attention to this graph:
While, yes, cases are increasing, unlike covid, mpox is fairly easily controllable with behavioral interventions. There should be no panic, and certainly no China-bashing, over this one. Letâs not contribute to craziness. (And, yes, that is cases. Not hundreds or thousands, just ones. Good to know, not cause for panic.)
