There's a Lot to Digest Over the Last Couple of Days!
April 29, 2020
First I want to take the time to thank the visitors who are coming to visit my blog. I didn't realize I had any, until just recently when I went to visit the stats section and noticed I had some not just from Canada (which were probably all mine 😉 ), but the US, Turkey, Russia, Belgium & Unknown Regions (wherever that is). Just that alone is a big Wow! And a big Surprise! So thank you to everyone who have paid a visit and I hope you like it enough to return and maybe bring a friend or two with you. You're all welcome here and all welcome to leave comments in the comments sections as well, especially if you have anything related to any of the topics here to share. I know I would love to hear about it - news, ideas, anecdotes, information, first hand experiences or witnesses to events related to the topics here, even recipes or how-tos, are all welcome. Just feel free to dive right in and make yourselves at home. That's what I set this blog up for. Well in the beginning, as I assumed that only I and a couple of people I told about the blog would even read any of it and that it was mostly me who'd be doing that, more often than them, I wasn't really expecting them to participate in it in any way and while you aren't obliged to either, I would love to hear from you about whatever is on your mind. You can even use the comments section to connect with others if you wish, to cut down on your solitude and loneliness if it helps. I don't mind. Just make yourselves at home and take as much advantage of whatever is here that you want, just please keep it civilized and clean. That's all I ask.
Then I woke up yesterday morning after bemoaning on here a day or two before about permanent house arrest and not ever being let out of it, to hear news that Legault is actually letting all of us captives out of our cages, slowly but ever so surely, at least according to this link: Gradual resumption of activities under the COVID-19-related pause Okay, so that in itself deserves a big Whoo Hoo and a happy dance around the livingroom at least! I just wish hair salons were included in there somewhere. Because it's getting to the point where I have to get this dead animal off my head and may wind up asking my husband to give me a bean shave. Well at least it'll be cooler for the summertime.
Most Americans Who Carry the Coronavirus Don’t Know It To suppress Covid-19, we need to test those with no symptoms. I agree. I don't know how any government can know for sure, who's had it, who hasn't and who's got it now, without testing everyone including those without symptoms. That way we'll know how prevalent it was/is and if most people have already had it or not.
A spike in New Yorkers ingesting household cleaners following Trump’s controversial coronavirus comments This one is just really hard for me to believe that people would actually do that to start with, but I suppose if a man leading a country can suggest it, then people electing him ought to believe him and so act on his suggestions. Which leads me back to the original shock that he would say that in the first place.
Online alpacas calm Germans amid virus lockdown Ahhhhh.... Doesn't this just relieve some of the accumulated stress? He's so cute!
Fights resume in Nicaragua because ‘boxers have to eat’ Sports events are cancelled everywhere else but not here, apparently.
USDA let millions of pounds of food rot while food-bank demand soared This is basically criminal and should not have been allowed to happen.
Biden Assails Stimulus, Calls U.S. Corporations ‘Greedy as Hell’ Typical large corporations, that have no scruples and no morals and then wonder why no one is buying their stuff. Well hello, greedy idiots. They might've been able to buy your stuff if they had the money that was supposed to be theirs but that you stole from them! It just boggles my mind when I see stuff like this and them getting away with it on top of that. But I think that's probably the point in the US. They rig things so they look like they're being fair & just to everyone except that they're not, because the big companies always have a backdoor to get to everything first before the ones it was actually intended for, can.
'We do see it as a critical situation': How COVID-19 is impacting Canada's meat supply So even though the economy is opening up, it doesn't mean everything will be available to buy, at least maybe not for a time.
Isolation and boredom of staying at home can be harmful in their own way, experts say Certainly took them long enough to figure that out.
Minister says COVID-19 is empowering domestic violence abusers as rates rise in parts of Canada I don't know why they couldn't figure this out before either.
Coronavirus Lingers in Air of Crowded Spaces, New Study Finds I'm sure it's not just crowded spaces where it lingers, considering the report the other day that showed that the virus was on smog particles in the air.
I'm not to sure I'd believe this one, considering the story appeared in the Miami Herald and that the USA is using COVID19 for a lot of reasons, so this report just falls into that category for them to use for other excuses like 1) efficacy in filling out death certificates 2) a psy ops to scare the population in complying with the house arrest orders and 3) which I found out just last night, but will be posting the link about it here too, further down the page, they're using it to get funding for their hospitals, because apparently the hospitals in the US that treat COVID19 patients qualify for 20% increased funding. So they're basically listing everything now as being COVID related, including head trauma that causes death. So a lot of fraud going on there in relation to the numbers in the US I think.
Coronavirus Antibodies Present In Nearly 25% Of All NYC Residents, Cuomo Says; Un-PAUSE In Certain Regions Of NY Might Begin In May I bet it's more than that, but they won't know for sure until everyone's tested.
Exclusive: She's been falsely accused of starting the pandemic. Her life has been turned upside down How do we know she's been "falsely accused"? We need an inquiry or investigation at least if not a trial to ascertain if she's telling the truth or not. Until then it's just her word against other versions.
Individualistic mindset of West comes through in protests against COVID measures It's not just "the west" as in the Wild West like they try to make it seem here, it's basically everyone who's tired of staying home forever with no end in sight. I know that's how I felt until Legault allowed some things to reopen.
Coronavirus In Minnesota: 200K Pigs May Be Put Down Due To Processing Plant Closures The Americans at least are looking at either super high prices of food in the not too distant future or a famine, on account of this nonsense.
Coronavirus Latest: Poultry Farmers In Delaware, Maryland Forced To Euthanize 2 Million Chickens Amid Pandemic See? This is what I'm talking about here.
Coronavirus Forces Farmers to Destroy Their Crops The sub headline here reads: Amid pandemic orders dry up, You don't want to see your crop rot & suffer. - The idiocy of this just boggles my mind. They'd rather euthanize their animals and turn their crops under than help the many millions of unemployed who are going hungry in their country. What's wrong with donating it to food banks? Honestly. I just don't get the American attitudes.
'The food supply chain is breaking,' Tyson says as plants close Same thoughts here as above.
Experts say U.S. could be just weeks away from meat shortages Really? Experts eh? Well I'm no expert, but I'm sure I could've said the same thing after reading all the stories out there.
The Secret Group of Scientists and Billionaires Pushing a Manhattan Project for Covid-19 They seem to be focused on this big time, forgoing making money on it, apparently. I guess trying to make it look super altruistic to the world, but I get the feeling if they produce one, they'll all be the first buying shares in the company that produces it and trying to get promoted for the nobel peace prize for saving the human race with their vaccine.
Are Temperature Checks Effective In Stopping Coronavirus Spread? I think the masks are probably more effective.
Study finds coronavirus could be more contagious than previously thought This is the study where they discovered the virus on some air pollution particles. Meaning you can wear all the masks you want and physically distance yourself from everyone but unless you live in a hermetically sealed unit and never open the door or window, you can still get it just by breathing polluted air. So like as my mom used to and my husband likes to say, "doesn't matter what you do or how careful you are, if it's your time to go, it's your time to go and nothing will change that". So with that in mind, I figure we might as well live whatever life we have left rather than stay confined in a house for the rest of our lives, as we may still get it anyhow.
Top Manhattan ER doc commits suicide, shaken by coronavirus onslaught So what I'm wondering is why she waited this long and didn't take her life back during the 2018-2019 flu season where they had over 40 million cases and over 60,000 deaths from it. I mean that's an onslaught compared to the numbers for COVID19 in the US now. So, this is another story that the media is putting a spin on just to make it seem worse than it is. So there's definitely more to this suicide than just COVID19 is.
CDC recommends social distancing for pets after some test positive for coronavirus You should probably take precautions with your pets if you are suffering from COVID19 yourself, but it seems that even when the get the disease they fight it off relatively easily & quickly compared to us.
Losing It: 72% Of Locked-Down Americans Say They’ll Reach ‘Breaking Point’ By Mid-June I think the politicians see and know that now and know that the populations aren't going to take much more of this so they're trying to find ways to reopen. But more and more I'm questioning what's going on here and I sincerely doubt it has anything to do with Coronavirus. I think this has been a test run using the virus as the cover excuse for whatever it is they were testing (like how long they have to implement home arrest before there's mass revolts maybe? Or how easy it would be to segregate the elderly or a chosen population from society under the guise of protecting them and so leave them alone and forget about them?)
Lonely Lives: Alarming Number Of Seniors Go Entire Week Without Talking To Anyone Look at the date on this article - September 7, 2019. So this was true before COVID19 hit, so imagine what it's like for a lot of them now! Now that people have explicitly been told to stay away from their elders "to protect them".
These are the 6 new possible symptoms of the coronavirus the CDC added to its list Yeah.... I'm sorry but I'm just not buying this, given that I've suffered headaches all my life and have arthritis (a form of inflammation) for awhile now. It seems that they're trying desperately to lump everything under COVID19. So my question is why? Is that because all of these things actually do belong to COVID19 as symptoms? Or are they merely trying to use that and anything else they can think of to lump under the COVID19 umbrella in order to get 20% increased funding or to try to persuade everyone that they have COVID19 and so they all have to stay home under house arrest? Or to inflate the numbers artificially for the same reason? I mean I'm just getting more and more suspicious of everything being related to COVID19 since the CDC issued orders for the doctors to just assign COVID19 as the reason for death if it could reasonably associated with COVID19, in order to make life easier for the doctors (and at the same time artificially inflate the numbers which can be used for psy ops reasons and given their attempt after 9/11 to scare their population into staying home by issuing "Terror Alerts" every Thursday for several months following the attack - it wouldn't surprise me.)
Chinese 'activists arrested' for publishing censored coronavirus articles I wish I knew where they were published and if any of those articles are in English and if so where the English ones in particular are. If anyone out there knows please leave a comment in the comments section below to le me know too, please.
The First To-Do Once a Coronavirus Lockdown Is Lifted? A Haircut I wish here in QC, hair salons were included in the ones allowed to open in May, but unfortunately for me, they're not. So I'm going to be sporting a GI Jane look I guess.
This Past Flu Season Was the Longest in 10 Years, the CDC Says This is a TIME article about the 2018-2019 flu season. Where I got my figures for what I said above about the doctor that committed suicide due to COVID19.
Flu season deaths top 80,000 last year, CDC says And apparently in 2017 they had an even worse flu season where 80,000 Americans alone, died, nevermind how many died in the rest of the world from the flu that year, but I bet it far surpasses the numbers from COVID19. This is precisely why I think something else is going on here and not just the COVID19 virus, as being the reason for the house arrest etc....
U.S. coronavirus cases top 1 million as projected death toll rises As you can see from this article the COVID19 cases come nowhere near close to the numbers for the flu each year which mostly attacks and kills the elderly too, but yet you didn't see the authorities flip out and put everyone under house arrest every year on account of the flu, did you?
How hospitals were incentivized to diagnose patients with COVID-19 This is a news clip that shows how hospitals decided to classify nearly everything as COVID19 related.
How accurate is the US coronavirus death count? Some experts say it's off by 'tens of thousands' Yeah but they're trying to say they're under counted, but given the fraud going on with it, I think they're way way way over counted.
Cyberscammers: Pay Up or We’ll Infect Your Family With Coronavirus Yeah.... Great! Come infect us! That way we'll know we had it for sure and can develope antibodies against it!
'Canine surveillance': How Labrador retrievers are being trained to sniff out coronavirus cases Dogs are incredibly smart and great at finding things with their noses. I know it's possible because a lady who had a dog that was able to detect Diabetes in people, the dog started following my husband around - who is diabetic. She was chasing the dog to get him/her back and when she finally caught up to us, I commented that her dog fell in love with my husband and she said that my husband must be diabetic, which he is.
Georgia’s Experiment in Human Sacrifice The state is about to find out how many people need to lose their lives to shore up the economy. Euuuu this sounds rather grim. I hope that's not what's happening here in QC, in that we're not being used as a test case.
USS Kidd Arrives in San Diego to Treat COVID-19 Outbreak; First Cases Emerged More than A Month After Hawaii Port Visit This is a perfect example of why the quarantines should've lasted 40 days - you know when people were coming into Canada from elsewhere, not just 14 days and definitely not voluntary 14 day quarantines. They should've been mandatory 40 day quarantines (like all quarantines used to be before). So no wonder the disease is spreading so much because people who had it were let out of quarantine early before they even started showing symptoms. So that means if the outbreak in Wuhan started in December that this disease was around at least since the end of October if not earlier.
The US government has failed its people and the world': Chinese state media attacks Washington after more than one million Americans contracted coronavirus Not sure if this is a case of the kettle calling the pot black or what.
Nearly half of global workforce risk losing livelihoods in pandemic - ILO We're looking at a severe economic crash from what I can gather from everything I've seen, heard, or read.
Coronavirus 'will become a seasonal virus' and could blight world for a decade So obviously the world will have to find another way of coping with & combatting this virus because we can't be kept under lockdown for the next decade.
The Roads Are Quieter Due to Coronavirus, but There Are More Fatal Car Crashes Oh I can believe that after seeing that motorcyclist go over the divider railing on the 40 on the news tonight.
More than half of Canadian companies see sales drop at least 20%: StatCan That along with the 80% of workers that lost their jobs according to the news on TV tonight, doesn't paint a very pretty picture of our economic future either.
'It's a lot:' Fort McMurray residents deal with floods during COVID-19 pandemic Wow! This poor community, first they got burned out, then having to fight the Coronavirus like the rest of us, now they're flooded out. What's next? A pestilence - maybe locusts eating everything in sight? Seems like they're trying to get through all the Biblical Plagues as soon as possible.
Coronavirus cases in Canada: Over 51,000 infections and 2,900 deaths And all the pretty charts and graphs that were released over the last week or so as well. How accurate they are, is anyone's guess, though I'm going to say probably not all that accurate considering the previous ones weren't. So here you go.

BC's Comparison of timing stringency of public health measures, with other countries.
BC's cumulative cases to April 14th.
BCs Projections to April 17th.
This shows how many patients in Canada were tested up until April 20ieth and of those how many tested positive and how many were negative.
This shows the "curve" as of April 20ieth. I don't know about you, but I don't see any peak, nor leveling off. So I'd say it's still pretty much raging on as before.
On April 20ieth these are how many cases overall there were in Canada and the breakdown per province.
These were the projections for Canada wide ending on April 16th.

Country comparisons of epidemic growth. I guess Tam, Hajdu and Trudeau are trying to pat themselves on the back for a job well done. If they really wanted a well earned pat on the back for a job well done it would've been if they didn't let the damned virus in to begin with or failing that made damn sure that everyone entering Canada, was quarantined for a full 40 days before being allowed to roam around freely.
I guess this chart is self-explanatory, in that it's cumulative deaths - comparing some Canadian provinces with other areas of the world.

This is a chart showing the cumulative cases of residents & staff, in nursing homes & long term care facilities in Ontario.
Cumulative deaths under strong, weak or no controls. Supposedly.
A comparison between various Canadian provinces and other areas of the world's epidemic curves. And if you ask me , there doesn't seem to be any curves there they're all going straight up, except BCs.

Scenarios for the course of the pandemic illustrating again the difference between strong, weak & no controls. All meant to scare you into compliance. But as we saw above the numbers for the flu in the US in one year alone and knowing what the current numbers for the entire world for COVID19 is now, this is just scare tactics. I did try to find the numbers in a clear cut format (like those of the US' that I found) for flu patients, hospitalizations & deaths in a recent years. But as the saying goes they like to boggle your mind with BS and that's precisely what the Canadian flu stats are. Because they only list them by week, by province and per 100,000 population. So you have to know the population size to start with of the demographics it's taken from and then find all such listings for all regions across the country, add them all up week by week for the entire season and then find the amount in all that chaff. They can't provide the wheat only the chaff to make you keep hunting for the needle in the haystack, because they don't want you to know how many people actually succumb to the flu in Canada annually. That way they can't scare the daylights out of you and coerce you into getting the flu shot, if you know the actual number, maybe.
Well we'll soon find out how accurate those projections are. Won't we?
Well we'll soon find out how accurate those projections are. Won't we?
Let's hope it's the lesser of the projections here. Though I don't think it will be.
Let's hope the worst case scenario isn't realized and that they don't have to worry about needing that many hospital spaces for COVID19 patients.
Boy, they're really trying to drive the point home, aren't they! How many graphs do they think we need to get the picture anyhow?
I put this in so we can see how accurate their projections were. It's not hard to find out. I can find and post the information here:
