#Zahl des #Tages: 1.212,49

Dies ist die #Inzidenz in #Warburg "nach" den #Schützenfesten! Vorher lagen wir unter 300!

Und dies, obwohl kaum noch getestet wird, und in der #Schule schon gar nicht!

Nur weil wir die Zahlen nicht haben , bedeutet es ja nicht automatisch, dass die #Welle nicht vorhanden ist!

Ist ein wenig wie bei einem #Tsunami:
Auf offener #See ( #Sommer) fällt nicht mal ein #Kaffee um, an der #Küste ( #Herbst) wird die #Welle riesig!

17 Years Ago Today: The 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake & Tsunami

The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami (also known as the Boxing Day Tsunami and, by the scientific community, the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake) occurred at 07:58:53 local time (UTC+7) on 26 December, with an epicentre off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. It was an undersea megathrust earthquake that registered a magnitude of 9.1–9.3 Mw, reaching a Mercalli intensity up to IX in certain areas. The earthquake was caused by a rupture along the fault between the Burma Plate and the Indian Plate.

This is the first major news event I followed largely through Wikipedia, which demonstrated itself to be phenomenally well-adapted to following a large (multi-continent, multi-ocean), long-term, and complex story. See the first version of the event's entry here:

Pacific Ocean garbage patch is immense plastic habitat | BBC News

Scientists have discovered marine animals living on plastic debris in an area of the open ocean dubbed "the Great Pacific Garbage Patch".
Many of the creatures are coastal species, living miles from their usual habitats, on a patch halfway between the coast of California and Hawaii.
Plants and animals, including anemones, tiny marine bugs, molluscs and crabs, were found on 90% of the debris.
Scientists are concerned that plastic may help transport invasive species.
