Hi there, The number of posts has been really low in the last couple of weeks. I really hope that with the new school-year in the northern hemisphere, we'll see an uptick in Perl-related content. Other: I just saw a Tweet explaining why the person does not wear a mask. He writes because he is vaccinated he isn't likely to be infected and he accepts the risks. Well, I really try to avoid arguing with strangers on the Internet so I did not write to him, but basically he said that he accepts the risk of endangering others. In reality he spread two types of viruses. Potentially he spreads the Covid19 virus and for sure he spreads the idea that not caring for others is acceptable. For one, people who are unsure about the masks, seeing him without a mask will more likely stop wearing masks too. Get vaccinated if you can and wear a mask when among people! Enjoy your week!
