Oxygen utlisation for COVID-19 patients in South Africa has gone from 662 patients on the 8th to 1002 patients currently (page currently displaying 15th's numbers).
While it is increasingly clear that Omicron is somewhat less likely to cause severe disease, it is still hospitalising people and the numbers will increase as the epidemic grows and the majority of patients hit their 3-week danger zone mark.
I don't advocate people freaking out. For most young people COVID-19 is not deadly, and Omicron is quite unlikely to be worse on a per infection basis. However, there will be a LOT more infections. We should be conscious about what we do around older people to limit their risk, especially around this time of the year:
- Limit unnecessary unmasked activities in the lead up to Christmas. Just keep wearing it.
- Encourage family to get their booster if eligible.
- Get tested if you feel sick or are potentially exposed.
thanks neolib aunt, very cool
Wish I was making this up.
So my mum got her booster shot two days ago, and has been sick ever since with nausea, a fever and coughing. Now in my parents own home everyone is wearing an N95 mask, just to stay safe. The cringe is unbelievable fuck this year.
Oh, and all of my relatives are vaccinated too. Fuck this.
This year my dad bought me and my sisters a VR headset for Christmas. Of course, I was absolutely thrilled! I understand that this was an expensive gift and I knew my sisters would love it, too.
Well, I had already decided that I would not be faking any reactions that year. On the inside, I was jumping up and down! But I really just smiled and said thank you because that is what felt natural to me.
After my dad flew back home and the actual date of Christmas rolled around, I got several more gifts from my mom. Again, she got me exactly what I had asked for and I really was happy to receive it, but I didn't embellish my reaction or anything. She seemed disappointed. I'm not super great at reading expressions, but I now wonder if I should have just done what I've been doing for the last 14/15 Christmases and put my acting skills to good use.

Requirements: • Director Mode Glitch • For to even begin the glitch you need to be at the part of the Director Mode Glitch where you have Duplicated birds and you're character is standing on the hay.
Steps:
- Search through new appearances for a working Christmas Mask (Video below shows working masks (Penguin, Elf without glasses, snowman, or reindeer Mask Recommended))

-
Once you have found a working mask press Y or Triangle to shortlist the outfit
-
To remove unnecessary components you will want to go to Actors -> Story Characters -> Brad and then shortlist that character.
-
Head to your shortlist and remove the outfit with the unnecessary components, the bird you used to duplicate with, AND your online character.
-
Hover over the only outfit in there and go to Actors -> Emergency Servicers -> LSFD and change appearance once and shortlist that outfit.
For this next part you need to be pretty fast at pressing buttons and have patience. This part CAN take time or can work very easily.
-
go to your shortlist and hold down on the D-pad for a few seconds (at least three seconds)
-
Back out of the shortlist go to Actors -> Beach Bums -> Bodybuilder and change appearance
You want to repeat steps 6-7 till the mask has froze. After the mask has froze you can search through the outfits you want and find the components you want to bring to online.
SIDENOTE: I have tested this myself and it does work but like I said in the post it can take time or can work fast. It took myself an hour to get but well worth it in the end considering you can get the component you want once you get the mask frozen instead of relying on god-like RNG hoping you get a Christmas Mask on something you want.
I know, I know, it was very foolish of me to spend Christmas with my family, but we did the right thing and barred unvaccinated relatives from attending and required everyone to be recently boosted and masked. Of course, I still blame my unvaccinated relatives for the rapid spread of the Omicron variant and I'm currently in the middle of typing them all a NASTY message, basically telling them they're all selfish scum who deserve to get Herman Cain Awards (LOL!!) and asking them to go shopping for me as I am self-isolating and UberEats won't deliver to me anymore after I spat in their delivery driver's face for being unmasked.
