Vaccination

[danieldwilliam]

Scotland has vaccinated approximately 1/3rd of 40-49 1st dose and about 1/10 2nd dose.

Presumably vulnerable clinical groups, care and medical staff and carers.

Health: Vaccination Note

[dewline]

According to covidvax.live stats a few seconds before I posted this reply, Canada's just reached the "20% partially vaccinated" mark in the last day or so. 2.18% fully vaccinated. At the present pace, we might get to 70 % fully vaccinated by the start of October. Whether that's helpful by then...?

I have not seen the tiger vs. goose video, but am I right in saying that you rarely go wrong betting on the goose?

[agoodwinsmith]

Did you see the baby elephant give the goose one last kick? Thank you!

Archaeology

The new analytical techniques in archaeology are producing huge amounts of interesting data.

Archaeological science

Ground LIDAR has been a revelation for research in archaeology in Southeast Asia, which is little-known globally because most of it is not in English. Entire lost cities in Cambodia and elsewhere have been found using it.
