1. We're still shooting ourselves in the ICU capacity "feet", though...

2. YES!!!

3. Amazing how little people get to see of the worlds, even in this day and age.

The odd thing about percentage increases is that the lower the number you start with, the easier they are to do.

If you look at September and last January, there doesn't seen to be much of a time lag between hospital admissions and intensive care admissions - they climb together. That doesn't seem to be happening to the same extent this time, which might be a good sign...

I hope so.

But the current level (today is 1,382) is higher than at any point other than the peak in January last year.

If it goes up by 50% again then we'll match that.

I really hope that doesn't happen.

I tried drawing my mind horse. I made it more difficult by deciding on a head-on angle.
The head ended up looking like a demon horse, and the rest is misshapen. I can tell I made the neck too short and the head is too small for the body, etc.

That mind horse challenge isn't new. I think this might be one of the oldest: Mind horse

I'm sure they carted about horses with them while they drew it!

I now want to watch the episode of Doctor Who where he/she goes back in time to where the White Horse of Uffington was being carved, and discovers that the local horses looked just like that, and it's a very naturalistic representation.

Then, of course, this being Doctor Who, she/he discovers that they are actually aliens needing to be rescued and/or exterminated.

For bonus points, the White Horse is carved at life size.
