We came across one of the local families of Canada Geese yesterday, and it
wasn't until I commented that the goslings were almost fully grown that it
occurred to me that the HOA doesn't seem to have conducted its annual
goose culling this year. I mentioned my objections to this in the past, and got
some information back about the hygiene problems of goose poop as well as some
interesting data on just how not endangered such geese are in these parts.
Learning the HOA was properly following the law and had some theoretically good
reasons to do so left me with no choice but to accept the situation. So this
leaves me pleasantly surprised that things are different this year. I'm quite
familiar with how territorial and aggressive these birds can be, but have always
been shocked at how chill the local geese are. Perhaps it's all the bullying
they suffer at the hands (or wings, rather) of the swans. Either way, it was
nice to realize that the geese are getting the chance to live their best lives
this year. Hopefully it's a trend going forward.

There are millions of people who have messed up immune systems for various reasons, who are living as shut-ins because a covid infection is very likely to kill them at worst and hosptialize them at best.
I hear this from time to time, and wonder, what did these people do before covid? And what's the fix you're proposing?
