No more Covid. Monkeypox is waning off. Just the media doing its scaretactic thing with a new bone.

They tried it here on Monday night/Tuesday morning. Roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of the town was without power for around 12 hours. Locals were up in arms on FB. The end of the world is coming, we've run out of power, the sky is falling. Then the media got in on it, fuelling the fire.

Turns out explanation was far more simple and less fun, a pole transformer had shorted and caught fire.
