Europe in detail

Cases in the Ukraine are going up fast, Denmark and Norway are recovering fast. Most seem to be happy with where they are.

No test results yet. Kid feels better already anyway. Most likely just a cold + school stress + lack of sleep getting back in the rhythm + part drama. While cases are rising in the country (Alberta's healthcare system is buckling under pressure), locally it's still very low.

Edit: Test result came back negative as expected.
