I read an article that said carbon emissions are going to experience the biggest drop since WW2. Well Played Mother Nature.

That picture of the coyote is like a scene from I Am Legend :eek:

There are approximately 4000 known coyotes in Cook County (where Chicago is within). They thrive pretty well on the mice, rats, geese, and other small game in the metro area.

The lack of people/traffic is causing them to alter their patterns since they don't have as much to avoid.

Also, are y'all that citified that you've never seen this sh** and it amazes you? Jesus Christ. :p

We hear coyotes all the time in Phoenix but I've never seen one.

Javelinas, though. Now those are a trip.

I will say that if you see a coyote during the day, something *might* be wrong with it. (Same theory with raccoons.) Hopefully the Chicago coyote wasnt ostracised from the pack.

If coyotes are hunting larger game, one coyote will usually play bait with the remainder of the pack in hiding, waiting for the bait coyote to lure the prey back. Generally this happens in the evening. I will purposely avoid the park near my subdivision at night during winter/spring when walking my dogs. Thankfully, they will alert me to the presence of coyotes.

*edit* It is still a neat shot of the coyote downtown. And glad the photog keep his distance.

And Javelinas, holy cow! Those are odd! Neat animal!

First time I saw one I couldn't believe it. They are so thin across the beam they look 2-dimensional.

The UK's Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab has been asked by Boris Johnson to deputize for him.

eastern coyotes are quite a bit different than the western coyotes you would see around Phoenix (eastern coyotes can weigh up to 50% more I think). The eastern coyote genome is up to 40% something other than coyote (wolf and maybe some domestic dog). The further northeast you go, the less "coyote" a coyote actually is. Coyotes in the southeast are closer to their western counterparts.

that's not an upgrade. And Boris isn't Captain Competence himself. I think Mark Steel called him "a child's drawing of a posh person."

More limitations on accurate reporting...
An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. "Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic," said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee

The next thing you know NY will want to count as "covid related" those murders that inevitably occur when two or more New Yorkers are locked up in a single housing unit together for more than 24 hours.

Well, a guy in Illinois shot and killed his girlfriend then killed himself when he thought she had COVID-19. Tests showed neither of them had it...

Update from my job:

Still not getting hazard pay. CEO took a pay cut. CSMs and BCBAs took a 40% pay cut too. As for Behavior Techs, drive time pay has been cut, and we're not allowed to go over 40 hours. If we do, we're subject to discipline at least. They also drastically cut non-billable hours, including front desk staff and center coordinator.

I'm in a group chat with several techs on Facebook. We're wondering why we were declared essential. At least if we were laid off, we could get unemployment. The only reason I got unemployment was because of my job at Tyson. A lot of us are thinking we're probably done with this company.

To those of you with two or more teen-aged children in the house and a SIP Order to follow, my sympathies.

I find it easier to blame Steve Sax.
