According to the story, an ancient king, who hailed from a tribe of gods, had slept with his sister on the winter solstice as part of a magic ritual to restart the Sun’s daily cycle and save the world from endless night. The couple supposedly did the deed in one of the county’s huge burial mounds, which the locals named Fertae Chuile, or the Hill of Sin. > “The magical solar manipulations in this myth already had scholars questioning how long an oral tradition could survive,” said Trinity College Dublin geneticist Ros Ó Maoldúin, a coauthor on the study. “To now discover a potential prehistoric precedent for the incestuous aspect is extraordinary.” US tests / positive results (higher is better, ideally dozens): 23 20 20 25 20 22 24 20 20 17 18 18 19 17 16 (today) 3-day avg: 21 22 21 18 17 US new deaths: 640 → 941 → 933 → 751 → 695 → 358 → 375 → 713 → 782 → 695 → 650 → 630 → 297 → 285 → 775 (today) 3-day avg: 838 601 623 658 452 MI tests / positive results (higher is better, ideally dozens): 54 1 54 71 80 64 340 62 63 1 99 33 77 43 44 (today) 3-day avg: 36 72 155 44 55 MI new deaths: 31 → 12 → 30 → 5 → 23 → 3 → 1 → 17 → 2 → 25 → 6 → 20 → 3 → 7 → 12 (today) 3-day avg: 24 10 7 17 7 Oakland county new deaths: 3 → 2 → 1 → 1 → 1 → 1 → 2 → 1 → 1 → 2 → 2 → 1 → 1 → 1 → 1 (today) 3-day avg: 2 1 1 2 1 Beaumont 5/25: COVID-19 patients: 215; COVID-19 ICU patients: 63; all patients bed occupancy: 57% Beaumont 5/28: COVID-19 patients: 227; COVID-19 ICU patients: 70; all patients bed occupancy: 68% Beaumont 6/01: COVID-19 patients: 178; COVID-19 ICU patients: 70; all patients bed occupancy: 61% Beaumont 6/04: COVID-19 patients: 163; COVID-19 ICU patients: 67; all patients bed occupancy: 65% Beaumont 6/08: COVID-19 patients: 130; COVID-19 ICU patients: 54; all patients bed occupancy: 55% Beaumont 6/11: COVID-19 patients: 132; COVID-19 ICU patients: 64; all patients bed occupancy: 70% Beaumont 6/15: COVID-19 patients: 114; COVID-19 ICU patients: 59; all patients bed occupancy: 63% Beaumont 6/18: COVID-19 patients: 117; COVID-19 ICU patients: 57; all patients bed occupancy: 72% Beaumont 6/22: COVID-19 patients: 122; COVID-19 ICU patients: 56; all patients bed occupancy: 64% HCC Region 2 North 6/17: in critical 55, on ventilators 30, inpatients 91 HCC Region 2 North 6/18: in critical 44, on ventilators 23, inpatients 89 HCC Region 2 North 6/19: in critical 34, on ventilators 25, inpatients 89 HCC Region 2 North 6/22: in critical 41, on ventilators 37, inpatients 84 HCC Region 2 North 6/23: in critical 46, on ventilators 40, inpatients 95 Servings: grains 1/6, fruit 1/4, vegetables 1/4, dairy 1/2, meat 1/3, nuts 0/0.5 Lunch: egg and avocado wrap, banana, coffee Dinner: Cheetos 124/76
