Here is the short cut to the full COVID report for Friday.

Well, it seems that the “fourth wave” has begun. Versus the same day of last week, US new cases were up 21%, US hospital admissions for COVID were up 9%, global new cases were up 20% and global fatalities were up 26%.

India again shattered its previous record for the most new cases in a single day.

Michigan continued to top every state and every country in the rate of new cases per capita.

About a week ago I linked a bunch of dazzling pics and .gifs of Vivi Koenig in Even Closer: Hautnah. I’d say it is the nude scene of the year so far, not just because of the scene itself, but also because of the spectacular beauty and amazing figure of Vivi.

Several people sent me e-mails or wrote comments asking where they could get the film clips from this scene and the rest of the series. I didn’t have a good answer at the time, but now we have all the nudity in the entire series available in a public source from internet legend Johnny Moronic, who did collages and film clips of every nude scene in the entire series. Huzzah! Johnny is the man today! (Well, he’s the man almost every day, but especially today.)
