Day 284: Mink Reprieve

Opposition leader Jakob Ellemann-Jensen has put a wrench in the gears of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's neovisicide plans for the country. The illegal and inhumane culling of all mink in the country has been called off. Some old US mink news has come out of the reporting frenzy about the mink mutation:

The American Veterinary Medical Association said at least 8,000 minks have died of infection with Sars-CoV-2 on farms in Utah. And nearly 3,400 mink are reported to have died from the coronavirus at a mink farm in Wisconsin. It added that the infection seems to be deadlier among older minks.

AlJazeera has more on our mink.

Massachusetts human cases are up one and a quarter percent today.
