The national average is a seven percent decrease in the month of December, compared to 2021.
In electricity areas three and four, consumption fell by nine and 12 percent, respectively.

Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy failed to get enough party members to be elected to the post of speaker, US media reports.
He has been criticized internally by Trump loyalists who do not think he is conservative enough. Despite Donald Trump himself giving McCarthy his support, he lost the vote.
Instead, the House of Representatives now looks to move towards a new vote. That hasn’t happened in a hundred years.
McCarthy now needs support from the Democratic side to be able to secure the Speaker’s post.

Is it a crime to be a rapper or do you mean that he is suspected of rapping?

Consumption is obviously reduced when people can’t afford it. I haven’t eaten a vegetable, fruit or red meat in 4 months. Stopped going to the dentist and getting a haircut. Becoming noticeable in many industries!
Julia
Hello Julia,
That sounds tough. You are certainly not alone in having a hard time right now.
In the article about covid it says in the fact box:
that covid is still “notifiable, which means that confirmed cases must still be reported by the healthcare system to the regional infectious disease doctor and the Public Health Authority.”
I don’t think people know this, during December at least 25 of my acquaintances have been diagnosed with covid but no one has reported this anywhere. Can you figure out what to do when home covid tests are positive?
Susie
Hi Suzie,
It is the care that must report positive tests for those who are cared for there, as an individual you are not obliged to report your results.
