And in Cayman ... sentenced to 4 months in jail!
Coronavirus: Georgia teen, boyfriend get 4 months for breaking Cayman Islands quarantine
A Georgia teenager and her boyfriend from the Cayman Islands were sentenced to four months in prison for violating the island’s coronavirus measures, authorities said.
On the surface of it, that still seems harsh ... until you look at it from the perspective where they had reduced their cases to zero in the summer and reopened all the schools and businesses, and now travelers into the islands are the only source of new cases. It only takes one tourist or returning resident breaking protocol to reignite a big spread across the nation.

Saw a patient this a.m. is a local HS principal, age 49. Said he could retire if he wanted to and do something easier, this has been the hardest year of his career by far. Chuckled that he's thought about becoming an Amazon delivery driver, "No one yells at you when you show up with a package."Last edited by DrJay; 12-23-2020, 08:59 PM.

Video or it didn't happen.
The researchers found that in videos it studied of this type of hunting session in the Red Sea near Israel and near Egypt, in 2018 and in 2019, octopuses were shown to engage in an “active displacement” of the fish during their hunt for food.
Multiple octopuses could be seen on various occasions performing “a swift, explosive motion with one arm directed at a specific fish partner, which we refer to as punching”, the report said.
Mr Sampaio said while the punching was sometimes done to allow the octopus access to prey it did not want the fish to have, at other times there seemed no logical reason apart from possibly keeping potentially misbehaving fish in line so they could work better together in the long run.
