Yesterday we celebrated out 45th anniversary with a variety of Indian food. We discovered this Indian restaurant in Dorion-Vaudreuil, called Bombay Mahal and as we've only had a very small amount of Indian food before, at exorbitant prices, we decided to try a variety of stuff here (of course we didn't eat it all last night, I did put the Chicken Tandoori & some naan in the freezer for later and the Corma Chicken was supposed to be for tonight's dinner butt..... Digestive tract problems on my part - I have a history of digestive problems that almost killed me a couple of years ago - means we'll be having that some other night when the digestive problems clear up). We decided that for the price of the tiny little meals (1 tiny plate each) we got at another Indian restaurant we could sample a wide variety of dishes, we'd try a lot of different stuff. So we had some Daal, Chicken Samosas, Butter Chicken, Curried Lamb, Corma Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Mango Lassis, and Mango Chutney. My husband had the Butter Chicken last night and I had the Curried Lamb, we each had a Chicken Samosas, Daal, and a Mango Lassis. I liked most of it, though I wasn't that fond of the Daal, but I finally got to try some. So, like it or not, I can cross that off my bucket list. My husband liked what he had but he found the stuff I had to be a little too hot for his palate.
I spent the day in bed today, with digestive problems (because of ulcers and not COVID19) and not doing much besides moaning and groaning from time to time and snuggling our dachshund. Maybe I should've gobbled a half dozen pantoloc pills before eating dinner last night. I don't know....
I'm still not feeling right, but I am feeling better than I was for most of the day. So I don't know how much COVID19 coverage I'll be able to cover today, but I'll give a shot, to get as much done as possible. So get your reading glasses, cup of tea, and sit back and catch up in the COVID continuum.
NFL-Total of 95 players test positive for COVID-19, union says There's been so few sports stories lately, I figured I'd start this post off with one.
Anxiety high as Canadian schools prepare for students from COVID-ravaged U.S. Why? If most of the classes are being offered online why do they need to come into Canada to take them? Why don't we do like Trump wants to do and ban all foreign students who are taking classes that will be offered online?
Oxford, CanSino coronavirus vaccine trials show promising early results I don't even know why Canada is cooperating with China on a vaccine? What for? To get screwed in the behind by China? Because that's what their proclivities are when it comes to dealing with Canada over the past couple of years. I don't trust them and I don't think anyone in authority in Canada ought to either.
Analysis: Montreal's latest bar-related COVID-19 figures don't add up Leave to the governments to massage the data to suit them and their agendas.
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ will cover COVID-19 pandemic in upcoming Season 17 I don't watch and have never watched this show, but I figure since it's been on for 17 seasons someone must. So for those someones who might be interested, I thought I'd post this for their benefit.
Humanitarian aid from top donors has dropped 30% amid coronavirus pandemic: analysis Well given that a lot of people who used to give lost their jobs and a lot of companies that used to give as well has gone bankrupt, it's pretty much a given that it's dropped, but I'm surprised it's only dropped by that much and not more.
NORTHERN EXPOSURE US tourist boat at Niagara Falls is PACKED with people while those on Canadian vessel next to it are socially distanced I'm pretty sure we've all seen this picture already, but I still wanted a link to it on my blog. So if, you didn't see it already, you really ought to.
Pandemic-Inspired Food Labeling Raises Alarms for Those With Food Allergies The solution to this is to not eat preprocessed foods and to make everything you eat from scratch using fresh raw ingredients yourself. Then you know what's in it. If you're under lockdown, you have no excuses, because you definitely have the time required to do so.

Vitamin C sales surge amid COVID-19 pandemic, effectiveness of antioxidant is unknown I use it to fight the common cold which is generally a coronavirus, COVID19 is just a pumped up coronavirus, so maybe while it doesn't prevent or cure it, it might lessen it's affects on the human body.
Anna Camp says she contracted Covid-19 after not wearing a mask in public 'one time' Like the old saying goes "it only takes once".
Sick of working from home? Work at a hotel instead Sure spend money you can't afford in order to change scene for work. If that's the case, work in the backyard, or go for a walk and bring a blanket and plunk yourself down on a grassy spot with a nice view and work from there. If you're not trespassing or breaking any cockamamie laws or rules about COVID19 then you should be fine. Maybe take a drive to the nearest provincial or national park (if there's one within reasonable driving distance) and scope out a picnic table there and use it for your desk for the day. Why would you pay insane hotel rates to change your scene of where you work? You wouldn't do that if you were working in your company's office (they wouldn't let you to start with), so why would you do that now? Or just find another room in your house to work from - one you don't normally spend a lot of time in, like one of the kids' rooms (if they're not there) for instance.
Credit card CEO warns of dark times when the $600 unemployment benefit expires Even here in Canada, those who've been forced to stay home and order everything online or via phone, has has to pay for their purchases using credit cards, which tacks interest rates onto the actual purchase prices. So a lot of people in Canada (especially seniors) are going to have astronomical credit card bills too.
The EU struck a big rescue deal on Covid-19. But it might have dealt a blow to democracy Macron and Merkel have struck me from time to time as being both conniving snakes in the grass and clueless morons. I think this article shows the conniving snakes in the grass sides of them.
How Rwanda is successfully dealing with coronavirus Of course because they went by proper medical methods of closing borders at the onset of it in China, rather than waiting for it show up on their doorstep before doing something. Something any and every country could've & should've done but didn't because of all this hoochy coo hobnobbing for money and political favours (I'm talking about those working in the medical profession - as in doctors wanting to be published or something like that but having to fall into step along side crooked superiors who work for even crookeder governments). Because there's probably no crooked gov't official vying for a place at the top of the NWO and no equally crooked organization like the CDC vying for all the money to be made from vaccines, in Rwanda, the doctors and public health officials were free to act on good old medical practices that worked in years gone by and would work now if they had've been employed, by other countries as well as Rwanda.
This artist paints portraits of medical workers and captures their exhaustion treating Covid-19 patients Now for a lull in the never ending news this pandemic brings.
Why America is running out of aluminum cans I don't know about the US but here where we live, we've been forbidden to return the glass bottles unless they've basically been sterilized inside and out, the store just won't take them back. So now instead of buying anything in glass bottles that's supposed to be refundable I buy in cans or plastic bottles. Unfortunately beer isn't sold in plastic bottles, so you're basically only left with the canned option, unless you want to save enough glass bottles to build a bottle house (like the one at Calico Ghost Town in Barstow California - it was built out of excavated bottles when they started restoring the town). But if you're like us and have no where to store all those bottles, you aren't apt to buy bottled beer anymore and instead opt for canned beer. So if the same thing is going on there as here, that's maybe why they're running out of aluminum for cans. Because too many people are buying canned beer instead of bottled beer and recycle plants that recycle aluminum are perhaps having their own issues with COVID19 - like everyone else is.
Lockdowns were 'big mistake,' crippled economy and haven't 'done much' to curb COVID-19: Rand Paul He's precisely right as a news report published in the previous post on here to do with Sweden demonstrated. I showed the figures regarding Sweden's population, versus the Quebec population and the total number of deaths. While Sweden has a larger population of 10 million compared to Quebec's 8 million, the number of deaths from the virus to death was almost identical. So in other words despite all the lockdowns and physical distancing and mask measures Quebec took to try to stop it, they still had a higher death rate per capita than Sweden who literally took no measures to stop it, did. That's not me saying so, that's the facts that anyone anywhere can look up. So all the lockdowns did was not only cripple the economy but caused a lot of companies to go bankrupt and a lot of people to lose their homes, credit ratings, jobs and suffer a lot of other things along the way, from debilitating mental health to domestic violence. For what? According to the Quebec/Sweden comparison I made, nothing but heart aches and a lot of financial, mental and health related anguish. That's all! There's enough proof and grounds there for lots and lots of legal suits to take the governments all over the place to court for all the problems they caused with their lockdowns and other stupid measures that weren't called for. And I sincerely hope we do see several of those suits and that they all win hands down, so that governments don't ever try stupidity like this again. Although as I have alluded to, they did this for a reason, which will be divulged when I get the Bill Gates post going, as it all ties in together there.
70 million people just had their credit card limits cut or accounts closed Wondering if any people in Canada also had their cards limited or accounts closed? Wondering if there were any seniors amongst them? If so, how are they going to manage the next time there's a total lockdown and told to order all their goods by phone or online?
Coronavirus infections may be 2 to 13 times higher than officially reported, study says Oh, I'd say it's probably way more than that, considering COVID19 has been in Quebec since late December and in the states (through their own admissions in various news reports) since at least mid to late January. Now considering that no one in either the US or Canada would even acknowledge the possibility that it was here before March, do you not suppose that a lot of people who thought they had the flu, might've actually had COVID19 instead, and a lot of doctors who saw early COVID19 patients thought they were treating flu patients? I do. Because I'm sure I am one of the ones who already had it. Along with my son, his wife, a couple of neighbours of ours and another couple of acquaintances we know. So that's at least 7 people who have probably had it, but weren't counted by the authorities because we all had it before they even dared admit it was in the country then.
U.S. boaters slapped with hefty fines for violating Quarantine Act amid COVID-19 It seems like no matter what they'll try anything to get into Canada, for whatever reason. Personally, I think it's more for sightseeing reasons than anything else, because they want to go see some place they haven't been before. But I can guarantee you there's tons of places in the US that even though they're American haven't seen before. There's so many awesome national parks and then all the road side attractions and you name it, that it's hard for me to believe they have seen everything there is to see in the US and so need to go exploring "foreign lands" like that.

Fauci: COVID-19 is "almost your worst nightmare" Oh he and his vaccine producing company will love this, for sure. Every couple of months they'll be able to make people get booster shots for the 600 previous booster shots they've already had 600 times before. And at even $20 a shot, he'll stand to be a gazillionaire in no record time.
U.S. records 2,600 new coronavirus cases every hour as total approaches 4 million Well at this rate, they won't need vaccines because in no time flat the whole entire population will have had it and thus either have died from it or developed immunity from it.
Iran estimates it has 25 million coronavirus infections If that's the case then, the WHO's numbers are grossly underrated, because they say there's 15 million but Iran is claiming 25 million cases alone. So if that's the case, the real number should be 40 million cases. So what are the real numbers here?

The reason Zoom calls drain your energy I don't know about zoom calls, but I do know about calls on iPads. My daughter-in-law likes to call me on it once in awhile and I guess maybe it's because I haven't got a clue on how to hold it etc, but I'm forever having problems seeing them or them seeing me and I spend more time looking at them then listening to them I think. Well even though I saw the telephone of the future at the Bell pavillion at Expo 67, that allowed you to look at the person you were talking to, I just never thought I'd have such a gizmo myself. So I'm in awe of it, everytime I pick it up to use it and I think my daughter-in-law knows that. So I get carried away with looking at them, forgetting to angle it so they can see me and just not really listening... It's just pathetic.
