Early Start to Serious Effort To Get This Done

 Covid 19

October 30, 2020

As plans for today have changed, I find myself with a bit of extra time, which I am going to devote to trying to catch up as much as possible on the Covid headlines so I can finish this as soon as possible...

So.... Let's get started....

COVID-19 modelling shows B.C.'s curve has bent back downward

This would be great news if it stays like that....

Quebec introduces COVID Alert app as daily case tally tops 1,000 for 4th straight day 

Which I think most people are suspicious of and distrust. 

China, 25 other countries call on Western nations to lift sanctions amid coronavirus So they want to be rewarded for spreading the virus world-wide by having sanctions lifted eh? Yeah, let'em dream in technocolour.... 

White House blocks new coronavirus vaccine guidelines that would delay approval

This is probably nothing more than more political subterfuge, since in the US this whole pandemic thing seems to be a political game of some sort, where because the pariah president promised a vaccine before the elections, the CDC and other powers that approve of vaccines etc, is bound and bent to stymy whatever efforts are being made to get one out before the election, in order to pander to the president. So even if there are a half dozen vaccines ready and willing to meet market demand and go, the CDC and other regulatory powers that are decidedly anti-Trump will find ways to hold them back and prevent them from coming to market before the election. But I betcha if Joe Biden wins, they'll start approving them right away and they'll be on the market before the end of the week that the election is held. I could almost guarantee that.

Active COVID-19 cases jump to 894 in Edmonton Whoo.... They're getting up there too. 

Trudeau promises federal help for COVID hot spots in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta

B.C. NDP leader promises free COVID-19 vaccine during town hall 

Court rejects attempt to accelerate COVID-19 testing in Quebec schools  The "health minister" (more like pencil pushers minister since the bozo is an accountant totally UNrelated to the health field) didn't offer a clear & unequivocal promise.... 

Canada opening border to international students going to coronavirus-ready institutions

Ontario's backlog in COVID-19 testing making some international travellers miss their flights Oh boo hoo poor babies missing their flights. WTF are they doing travelling during the pandemic and lockdowns anyhow????

Good! Serves them right!

The quest to make a global vaccine in 12 months 

Should you get paid based on where you live? I say no. Because it's not fair at all. Pay should be commensurate with experience and knowledge in the field and not based on how much you managed to save on rent or mortgage. I mean what's next? If you go there are you going to start reducing their pay based on how much they manage to save on utilities and insurances? What follows? How much they're able to save on groceries because of coupon usage? No, how much someone pays to live where their do is their business and not the company's period end of story. Maybe they manage to live in swanky digs because their spouse is the one with the high paying job, or maybe they manage to live in a pristine tranquil area because they found a luck on a fixer upper that they fixed up themselves or inherited a farm, and not necessarily because of the employee's salary. So no definitely not. It has nothing to do with the company where someone lives. Maybe some of them live under a cardboard box under a bridge right around the corner from the company because they can't afford the rents in that city. Does that mean they'll pay them more because of it? I mean if they're going to reduce salaries because someone managed to find a comfortable lifestyle, does that also mean that they'll bring the wages of the cardboard box dweller up to par to be able to live in an apartment nearby his work? Especially if both employees have the same experience and same wages? If they do increase the cardboard box dweller's salary they should then increase the swamky lifestyle's salary too, since they were equal in experience and wages before the cardboard box dweller got an increase. Fair is fair. No one should have to suffer because they made good decisions in life while others made the worst possible decisions they could possibly make and get rewarded for it, while the good decision makers gets punished for it. That's just plain evil, not to mention stupid and unjust.

The IRS Is Being Investigated for Using Location Data Without a Warrant

Here's something to think about when deciding to use the tracing app from the Feds for contact tracing of the virus, as there's apt to be Cdn companies/institutes buying this info from that company as well. Not to mention that there maybe be Canadian equivalents doing the same sort of thing, collecting location data from various apps on your cellphones and devices.  Maybe you should stop allowing those apps to get your location data, I mean unless you're playing that weird pookymon game where you need to slay local monsters what does your book reader, or card game app need your location for anyhow? Personally, I don't allow anything, no location info, and no use of the camera either. So what I lose out on using a certain app, there's probably plenty other better apps than that around that doesn't ask for permission to use or track those things. So just think about that before downloading and using that contact tracing app of the Fed's.

'There is hope': COVID-19 vaccine may be ready by the end of the year, WHO boss says I wouldn't believe this lying dirtbag if my life depended on it. And if he's right, they're probably the injections that will finish the job of killing off all the "useless eaters". In that case I say everyone at the UN, the WHO including that dirtbag, and the WEF, and all the world leaders and health ministers should be the first one to get those vaccines.

Time for Quebec to think outside box for COVID testing, experts say

And who or what is going to protect the sniffer dogs from getting it? Maybe those proposing that dogs risk their lives sniffing out a potentially harmful virus for us, should be the ones trained and deployed to do the sniffing. That way if anyone gets sick it'll be one of those idiots and not an innocent dog.

Ten Canadian companies with rapid COVID tests awaiting Health Canada approval They'll probably be waiting forever because I don't think the Feds want to actually know for sure, how many people have it here in Canada. That way they can look better in the eyes of the world for having lower case numbers than many other countries, if we don't have so many being tested and proven to have the disease. Right now the numbers are probably way lower than they ought to be, because we just don't have the capacity to test more people. Like Trump said "fewer tests means fewer cases" and I'm sure that's what numbnuts in Ottawa is relying on to make Canada look better than other nations when it comes to this. After all to that idiot in power, appearance is everything, substance, not so much.

Why vaccine nationalism could prolong the COVID-19 pandemic And why shouldn't rich countries have their own supplies anyhow? Especially countries like Canada who has a tendency to put everyone else in the world before their own? It's about time countries like Canada put their own taxpaying voters first!

World's first Covid passport technology will be trialled on flights from Heathrow this week in bid to let passengers travel without risk of quarantine in future BUT requires authorities to trust test lab results from abroad The idea of a passport for those who were no longer a risk to others was mine way back in January or February, posted in comment section on a major news site. Maybe I should ask for copyright rights on that idea....

Billionaire wealth reaches new high during COVID-19 pandemic - UBS

Contrast that with the billions of people world wide who are getting poorer on account of the pandemic.

‘Great Polarization’ may be next for world’s richest, UBS says Until or unless the rest of the world has collectively had it with those greedy hogs and finds a way to take them down. Like they say what goes up must come down. So at one point or another they'll come down, it may not be the easy way either.

Long-term jobless figures rise, underscoring economic pain

Oh but the greedy hogs mentionned in the 2 stories just above this one sure aren't feeling any pain. 

https://thehill.com/policy/finance/519878-long-term-jobless-figures-rise-underscoring-economic-pain the US government should start confiscating the wealth of the greedy pigs highlighted in the stories just above and give that money to the poor and those taking care of them - like the food banks and missions etc... Or FORCE the greedy pigs to donate 20% of their annual wealth to such charities (and not ones set up in their own names as those are only charities to themselves) and if not the gov't takes that much extra from them in the way of taxes and gives it to the charities themselves. But set up laws so that rich pigs can't keep grabbing and hogging all the financial resources in a country and force them to be civic minded citizens as well, where neither they nor any of their companies or foundations stand to benefit from that charity. So that it's not just a transfer of money from one of their hands directly into the other one.

Scotland faces temporary booze ban as virus rules ramp up

Well tell those thirsty Scots to relocate to QC, because the SAQ (Societe d'Alcohol de Quebec) is deemed to be an essential service as are grocery stores, and wine and beer are sold in grocery stores and harder liquor is sold in the SAQs. So they're open all pandemic long.

So then how come we're expected to believe that it stops the aerosols at the grocery, drug, and other stores and banks then?

Trump calls off stimulus package talks, meaning Americans likely won't receive a $1,200 stimulus check before the election

Secrets Nurses Want You To Know About Staying Healthy Yes I definitely concur with all that advice. It should help you stay healthy or get healthier than you currently are and as far as COVID19 is concerned I agree with the vitamin D recommendation too, except I think you should probably take 1,000 ius (international units) per day if you're an adult and especially if you're over 80. 

Trudeau government survives key confidence vote

Trump says not to fear Covid-19. Do Americans agree? 

I think he's right, though the media has done such a fantastic job of scaring the pants off of everyone in favour of the demoncrats or lieberals and their agendas, that the public probably is too afraid to agree with him even if they wanted to.

Will try to get more going tomorrow being Oct 31st and all, but I can't promise much as we have plans that pretty much take up the whole day and half the evening too. So I'll just have to continue this on Nov 1st until I'm caught up to the Oct 31st headlines. So take care and stay well until next time.

Giving It Another Go at Trying to Get This Done Soon.....

 Covid19

Courtesy Pixabay.com

Oct 29, 2020

Wow! Only 2 days to go and I know right now I'm NOT going to get this done on time! The reason I know that is because I won't have the time because we have to go out hunting for an affordable new toilet and then someone's coming to install it on the 31st, I think. So that's going to drastically cut into the time I have to devote to getting this done. 

I still have hundreds of headlines to go and I'm sure between now and Oct 31st, there'll be a few hundred more headlines too as it just never ends. It's constant. To quote Trump, "Covid, Covid, Covid, Constant Covid in the news". So he was right about that even if everyone thinks he wasn't right about much else.

So I'm going to give it my best shot to get as many headlines in here tonight as possible, but be forewarned, I've been nodding off, off and on all day long so that's apt to be the case while I try to work on this. So that may drastically cut into the time I have to do this, and thus cut down on the amount of articles I can get posted before I nod off for my 8 hours of sleep. I don't know what's wrong me because it's only the last few weeks I've been like this. Most of my life I've been an insomniac, now I struggle to stay awake for any length of time. It's awful.
 
So I'm going to be getting started now, so grab your glasses, beverage of choice and easy chair and start reading...
 


 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Vancouver Christmas Market cancelled due to coronavirus pandemic  Of course. Just wondering when they're going to cancel life altogether. 

The Cdn gov't site on border measures being taken in regards to the virus along with immigration, refugees, family abroad, etc... If you want/need any official information on those subjects directly from the government itself, this is where you go.
 
Coronavirus: Levels of anxiety and depression rising among Canadians during pandemic In my case it's not anxiety & depression that's getting to me, it's pure unbridled anger and hatred of the governments and all their sycophants in the medical establishment and media that let them get away with this charade and continue to support them in the efforts in it. Now don't misinterpret what I'm saying here. I'm not saying that Coronavirus isn't real and infecting people and killing some, what I'm saying is the way it was handled from the get go was all wrong and anyone who attended med school or even nursing school for a half hour KNOWS THAT and KNEW THAT IN ORDER TO PREVENT A VIRUS FROM SPREADING YOU SEGREGATE YOUR SOCIETY FROM IT.  In other words you  PREVENT IT FROM GETTING INTO YOUR COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE BY CLOSING ALL BORDERS THE MOMENT YOU HEAR ABOUT IT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY.  So the moment they heard about it in Wuhan, knowing that we have a lot of people who travel to and from China on a regular basis, hurt feelings on behalf of the Chinese community or not, it was IMPERATIVE THAT WE CLOSE ALL BORDERS AND STOP ALL INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC COMING INTO THIS COUNTRY FROM ANYWHERE.  Because air travel allows viruses to spread so rapidly around the globe and not knowing where a person has been before they came to Canada or who they rubbed shoulders with along the way, was enough cause to close the border down completely BACK ON JANUARY 21st WHEN WE FIRST OFFICIALLY HEARD ABOUT THIS DISEASE IN WUHAN.  NEVERMIND WAITING FOR THE CORRUPT BRAINDEAD IMBECILES IN THE WHO TO DIRECT ANYTHING. When that wasn't done, then what should've been done and is outlined in our constitution on how to handle pandemics should've been followed to the T, because THAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT. You isolate the sick and their contacts, for the full 40 days. So you remove them totally from the population and so technically if they were the only ones who got into Canada with that disease they and their contacts won't be spreading it hither and yon. And you set up quarantine officers to check on them (like they're finally only starting to do now with the cops checking on them - but that should've been done in the very very beginning). Anyone else you find with it you do the same with them and their contacts. But you let everyone else go about their daily lives. Then to cut down on the risk "in case" you didn't catch/find them all, you make the rest of the population wear masks. Nevermind this BS hand washing BS. It's a respiratory illness that spreads via droplets and aerosols in the air that you breath in, that's the main way it's contracted. Sticking your hands in your mouth after touching a contaminated surface might do it too, but honestly how many adults goes around sticking their hands in their mouths for no reason all the time? We're not 2 year olds who constantly have our hands or fingers in our mouths. All the doctors and nurses in Canada KNEW THIS and if they didn't then they have NO BUSINESS HOLDING A LICENSE TO PRACTICE MEDICINE OR NURSING. NONE.  ZILCH. ZERO. As there's NO EXCUSE FOR NOT KNOWING THOSE PROCEDURES. I mean how the F do you ISOLATE CONTAGIOUS PEOPLE IN HOSPITAL WARDS IF YOU DON'T KNOW THOSE SIMPLE CONCEPTS?????? So for them to sit idly by and let this happen, means they should all lose their licenses. Either that or put up and shut up, since you bunch of idiots did this to yourselves (I'm talking about the exhaustion and over work etc...). And for the media - well they don't know which way is up to start with so we can't expect miracles out of them. But they should say "Whoa" what's going on here when they find little nuggets out like the one Arruda dropped tonight on the news admitting that the Coronavirus deaths might be inflated, because if there was a death that they think could be related to the disease but aren't entirely sure it is, like in the example he gave about someone having Cancer and dying but also had Covid, that person's death will be listed as a Covid caused death and not by Cancer.  So they're using the same tricks here in Quebec (probably right across Canada) as they use in the US, where just about all deaths are deemed to be Covid related, because the CDC issued directives to the hospitals to label them all COVID caused in order to cut down on time doing autopsies. There's a link to that 7 page CDC document, somewhere amongst all the links on all the pages in my blog. I'm not sure now if I put a label to it or what it would be called if I did. So if you want to find it, comb through the labels on the right hand side and see if you can find anything that might look like it in there and click on that to get taken to that page, or failing that do the good old fashion detective work of combing through all the pages until you find it. That's all I can suggest if you really want to find it.  I mean you'd think the media would go "oh yeah, that's interesting" I wonder what else it is that they're hiding or doing crookedly that they're not telling us and start investigating rather than sitting on their lazy stupid ashes swallowing whatever BS the gov't tells them hook, line and sinker. Once upon a time being a journalist meant you were also an investigator of sorts, now a days it's just an idiot with a microphone and tape recorder recording whatever the other idiot is telling them and then copying it verbatim onto a worksheet for print or broadcast. No investigating involved. I doubt any of them would know how, these days.


 
Canadians will pay the bill for COVID-19 in higher taxes — here’s how it will likely happen Oh I can't wait! We're already taxed to the eyeballs here in QC, so um yeah just add 'em on.... Pretty soon we'll be drowning in them with no hope of ever paying. That's when the gov't will confiscate all property (like they did in the USSR) and proclaim it all belongs to the government and we all work for them now for mere subsistance salaries. That's what it seems like this is all working towards.

 
 

 
Canada ‘desperately’ needs people to dig in, stay home in coronavirus fight: Qualtrough Actually we desperately need leaders who knows what they're doing and how to handle the situation and to be advised by REAL DOCTORS & N O T WITCH DOCTORS (Tam), ART TEACHERS (Hajdu) & PENCIL NECKED ACCOUNTANTS (Dube), WHO KNOWS DIDDLY SQUAT ABOUT MEDICINE & INFECTIOUS DISEASES!!!! AND I N V E S T I G A T I V E JOURNALISTS WHO WANT TO PUBLISH THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND NOT JUST TOW THE MAINSTREAM BS LINE!!!!! We need people who will stand up for truth and justice and who will do the right thing by the people & NOT JUST THE MONEYMAKERS!!!! That's what we need the most. Not more lies, massaged data, manipulated numbers, and paranoid propaganda put out by the governments! 

 
 
Ontario doctor says he was told to expect fewer flu vaccines in this, the year of COVID-19 We were contacted the other day by our pharmacist offering us the flue shot, but I didn't know at the time my husband wanted one, so I declined. Then I found out last night he wanted one if he could get it and so I called her today to try to get one for us, but now she's not sure she will have enough. So I told her if she has at least 1 shot left to give it to him. She said she'll get back to us and I thought she would by the end of the day before she closed, but we didn't hear anything from her. 

 

 
23 workers test positive for COVID-19 at food distribution centre in Delta, B.C.  So obviously this is a super spreader event, that is NOT a social gathering of any kind, but rather a work place. It's about time that the authorities started recognizing that a lot of work places are equally capable of being super spreaders and not just bars, restaurants and family gatherings. The reason they don't do that though is because they don't want their precious economy to falter and fall apart if the workers all suddenly deem it too dangerous to go to work and decides to stay home instead.

 

Could that be due to a high fever perhaps? Fevers can induce hallucinations. So maybe that's what's happening here too?
 
CDC revises coronavirus guidance to acknowledge that it spreads through airborne transmission Look the mere fact that it is a coronavirus means it spreads through air, so how come it took the CDC 10 f'n months to figure that out and admit it????? I'm sorry but I'm beyond aggravated with the criminal negligence and stupidity emanating from that criminal organization called the CDC. 
 
The Post-Pandemic 'New Normal' Looks Awfully Authoritarian Nevermind post pandemic. It looks awful authoritarian now. 

 

So keep taking your medications regularly.
 
‘Babies are doing well’: Infants born to moms with COVID have few complications That's good to know. Let's just hope they don't have hidden latent problems that show up years later, instead of immediately at birth.

Well of course it can spread indoors. If there's air, it can spread, doesn't matter whether it's indoors or outdoors. It's even in some lakes, so maybe it can spread via water too, for all we know.
 

It's good to see a company show some compassion & decency in this  time of pandemic.
 
Ottawa has been Canada's hottest market for new home prices during COVID-19 I seriously can't understand why anyone would want to live in Ottawa unless they had to (as in their job is there like in parliament for instance).

Haven't we all eaten a lot over this pandemic? Everyone I know has, so you're not alone Adam.
 

 
 
There was a chart posted on the net somewhere that I printed out and posted on our fridge. It outlined the differences between the flu, a cold & coronavirus. That was the only place I could think to put it where we'd both see it and be able to consult it immediately, without searching the computer files or around the house for the printout of it.

 
Cargo carriers warn that getting a COVID-19 vaccine to everyone on Earth could take up to two years I'm sure there'd be some places where it would be locally produced and could be moved by ground carriers to the local population.

 

 

 
Well I guess I'll end it here for now.... Until next time take care & stay well.

Doin' Nothin' But This & Paying Bills, While Wading Through Tons of Headlines About

 Covid 19


Courtesy Pixabay.com

October 28, 2020

I am truly giving it my best shot to get caught up with all the headlines by October 31st, in order to give this blog a rest until things change one way or the other in the plandemic. When they do the blog will be revived and those changes will be chronicled in here, but as I said earlier I see no reason to keep it going when it's just repetitive sorts of incidents & headlines, with no new major developments either in the pandemic itself, the social response to it, the economic situation created by it, or anything else. So as long as things remain on the same footing, I see no reason to keep posting similar articles day after day. 

The blog won't be totally dormant though, as I do intend to make the post about Bill Gates and how he seems to be implicated in this whole mess starting with the conference together with the WEF in Wuhan just weeks before the plandemic got under way and what that conference was about, along with all the fishy business to do with his vaccine efforts in Africa and all the rumoured reports about the "Great Reset" and chips in vaccines etc... It's one big spider's web of interconnectedness that basically would make your head spin - I know it makes mine spin. 

Plus I will try to post the occasional posts about various things of interest, like for instance suggestions on things to cook, make or do for various holidays. Or maybe I'll post more of those fun interactive video sites, or other things that I find that might be of interest, like maybe just a whole freaking page full of links to recipes or things like that. Anyhow it won't be totally dormant while things are more or less the same as they are now.  

But when I started this blog back in March it was only supposed to be for a few weeks, until we got back to normal (or at least that's what we were told and judging by how quickly Wuhan seemed to have recovered from it, that was believable) but I guess not. Then in July when it looked like we might actually have the health emergency act repealed I thought great I can resume my normal life again. But it wasn't. It was but only for a few hours as in they hadn't renewed it and let it lapse for a few hours before renewing it. Then they renewed it and never let up on it and again Legault renewed the lockdown until the 23rd of November so you can be sure the health emergency act is still in force at least until then if not longer. And I know I said I'd keep this blog going for as long as the pandemic lasted, but again according to everything (as said by the authorities and as what was seen in Wuhan and how quickly they recovered) I thought yeah it might extend a bit past the few weeks the authorities said it would be in the beginning, but now it's way more than just a few weeks or even just a bit past that. 
 
It's officially 7 and a half months now that I've been doing this alone. Just me reading, bookmarking and later posting those headlines into this blog, which takes a substantial portion of my day to do. In the beginning when there was nothing else to do because of the lockdowns and the weather etc, I didn't mind and while basically nothing in regards to the weather and lockdowns has changed much since March when I started doing this, my urge to get back to making things has changed. I need time in the day to do things I want to do for myself. I want to get back to having time to enjoy (not in a rushed sort of manner like I've had to do when the freezer went on the fritz or when I had things to take care of at harvest time) cooking, baking and crafting. I haven't done any crafting since I started this blog and now my fingers are yearning to do something different besides type and control a trackball. But like I said I didn't mind in March because of the lockdowns and weather - and the lockdowns and pandemic was supposed to be over by the time the lousy weather we were experiencing in the spring months was over with anyhow. So I had in mind that maybe by June I wouldn't be doing this anymore, but I find I'm still here 4.5 months later doing the same thing, by myself. I can't keep this up forever by myself but the way it's going it looks like I might have to if I allow myself to get stuck to the "promise" I made about keeping this blog going until the end of the pandemic. 
 
For the amount of money and feedback I've gotten so far, it's not even worth a day's worth of work, let alone keeping it going 7.5 months like this. Not that I was doing it for monetary compensation, but a comment or two would've been nice every now and then.
 
On top of that I started this for Canadian Seniors to keep them informed about the pandemic and whatever help and services there are out there for them. I know a couple seniors personally who accessed the blog in the beginning and got all the relevant information they needed from it then, but they never returned and only one of them even mentionned it to me and thanked me for providing that information. 
 
Other than that, hardly anyone from Canada visits the blog, it's mostly international visitors I get and while I appreciate that (hence the reason I've included more international stories than I did before), none of them have ever even left a comment here either. Either adding something to the topics using the Comments Section below each post, (as in maybe saying "yeah, I know I was there at that event" or "it's the same where I live") or making some other comment or even suggestions on how to do or deal with stuff mentionned on that post. Or sharing experiences. That's what I had originally wanted. I originally wanted us seniors to band together as a way of sharing experiences, ideas and helping each other by whatever means, whether that was sharing info on how to make or bake something or how to get a gov't official to get off their lazy arses and do something to benefit us all, or form a lobby group to lobby the gov't with - as they do say there's power in numbers. But none of that ever happened despite my encouragement in the beginning - when no one was taking me up on any of that, I just didn't bother making any more appeals for it. So for the most part it's been me airing my opinions and knowledge while posting headlines about the stupid plandemic ruining all our lives.

Now like everyone else I've had enough of it and plan to get back to my real life as soon as I'm caught up on the end of the month's headlines - meaning Oct 31st's headlines. When things plandemic wise change, I'll resume posting plandemic related headlines/articles in here. 
 
So you'll be on your own to stay current with all the ever-changing relevant by-laws and rules the tyrants want to throw at us using the plandemic as an excuse for such.

So now I'm going to give it another good go tonight to get as many of those headlines into this post as possible....
 
 
 
From Broadway to playing in a New York City park It looks like just about everyone was severely affected by this plandemic one way or the other, including professional performers.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
She lost her job in the pandemic. She can't even afford the dollar store to feed her kids This is very sad and shouldn't be allowed to happen in a rich country like the US. Shame on a country that rich that would let it's kids go hungry. When they have money for all kinds of armaments and stupid stuff like mining meteor dust and all sorts of other useless and lethal stuff like that, but no money to give to a mom to help her feed her kids. No wonder that country has seen every hurricane that came out of the Atlantic hit them this year, mega fires in California and Colorado, and the most pandemic cases on the globe. I can't help but think that might be some kind of divine retribution for allowing things like that to happen, when they have the means to prevent it (the hungry kids I'm talking about and not all the rest of it - the rest of it is the retribution I'm talking about).

 
A vaccine can provide better immunity than an actual infection. Here's why.  Hmmmm having had just about every major childhood disease because there were no vaccines available against them at the time, and not ever having had a "relapse" of any of them despite me having suffered through those illnesses in the early 1960s and never needing a "booster shot" of any kind either, I wouldn't know about that. Personally I think me having suffered through all those illnesses was better than having had a vaccine against them because my immune system developed a lifelong immunity against such diseases and I never needed to worry if my vaccinations were up to date or not. Unlike my son who recently had another MMR shot "in case" because of the measles that was going around last year. I didn't have to worry about that at all. 

This just epitomizes the ridiculousness of it all. Why in the world did they make her take a test for COVID19 when runny noses were never a symptom of the virus!  

 
Man dies from COVID-19 after travelling from Central Africa to Newfoundland via Toronto And how many other passengers and airport personnel did he infect along the way? 
 
 
Yeah... a virtual nuit blanche.... A virtual dinner.... Hope those bytes and pixels are as yummy as the real thing would've been!
 
Trump has repeatedly blamed China for a virus that now threatens his health. This will make Beijing nervous Good! I hope they're trembling in their boots! They deserve to be after unleashing it on the world, and then not sharing the obvious cure that they have! Considering they managed to eradicate it in 3-4 months from onset to good riddance of the virus! So they must've been hiding an anecdote to it somewhere in order to get rid of it that quickly in that large of a population like that!

Just be careful that  you don't start feeling like Alice in Jefferson Airplane's song "White Rabbit".... 

 
Scottish government criticised for 'absolutely terrifying' advert showing how coronavirus spreads Nothing like scaremongering. Seems like governments today have to go for the most melodramatic way they can find to get a message out to the masses. Simple words don't seem to suffice anymore. 

 

 

 

 

Is there anything? Any tradition? Any celebration? Any fun thing that COVID 19 has not buggered up? I would really love to know of something that it didn't some how alter, or cancel?  

Another cancellation to COVID's credit. 

 

 

So they slow the testing down as cases rise? Isn't that a little bassackwards?
 

 
Rich nations tighten firehose of aid as virus outlasts early efforts I don't know if it ever occurred to anyone in power in any of these countries (including Canada & the USA) to find out just exactly how China managed to defeat the virus the way it did? Then maybe try the same things in their respective countries in order to get back to normal once & for all. Because obviously the China had something, or knew something that we don't, in order for them to defeat the virus in 3-4 months the way they did and that's supposedly without any vaccines either. So maybe we should find out what they used or did and follow their example in our countries? 

 
Forget money — Alberta woman's app lets you barter skills and services with your neighbours This is an awesome idea! Just think of how many goods and services hairdressers and barbers would've acquired during the last lockdown! 😉

 
COVID-19 case counts will drop artificially as testing moves to appointment only, experts warn You mean the public needed to be told that if they're testing less because of needing appointments that there'll be a lower count? Geez I think I inferred that above under the headlines saying that they were moving to appointments for testing.

 

No matter how they  end, I really wish this one would end soon. But you can see in the numbers there that this pandemic is nowhere near as deadly as any of the previous pandemics, with or without a vaccine to fight them.

I love all of these sudden computer glitches that the world is having in order to explain why all of a sudden there was no or very little cases around and then suddenly there's a gazillion (because apparently they went unreported due to computer glitches). That excuse is being used there in this report as it was used here in QC and in a few other provinces as well. Very convenient to make up astronomical numbers out of thin air. 
 

Phew! And I thought it was just me!
 

 
'A devastating experience:' Temporary layoffs just became permanent for millions of American workers When I read stories like this, about how this virus hasn't only permanently damaged someone's health, or killed a loved one, but managed to wreck the lives of those it hasn't physically touched "yet" and KNOWING ALL OF THAT COULD'VE BEEN PREVENTED IF THE IDIOTS IN CHARGE STARTING FROM TEDROS AT THE WHO ON DOWN TO ALL THE POLITICAL LEADERS & THEIR SYCOPHANT CHIEF DOCTORS IN CHARGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH FOR THEIR NATIONS. IF THEY HAD'VE ACTED PROMPTLY & PROPERLY TO CIRCUMVENT THE VIRUS FROM ENTERING THEIR TERRITORIES IN THE FIRST PLACE & FOR THOSE WHO COULDN'T CATCH IT ALL & IN TIME, MANAGED PROPER QUARANTINE MEASURES  P R O P E R L Y, THIS WOULD N O T  HAVE HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It literally INFURIATES ME!!!!! So MUCH SO THAT I ADVOCATE FOR A WORLD TRIBUNAL SYSTEM TO TRY ALL THOSE MOTHER F'N GENOCIDAL ECONOMY WRECKING ASH HOLES AND BRING BACK BURNING AT THE STAKE TO  BURN ALL THE WITCH DOCTORS THAT WENT ALONG WITH THAT IDIOCY AND KISSED THEIR BOSSES ASHES BY ALLOWING THAT VIRUS IN IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!! There HAS TO BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL FOR THEM - ALL OF THEM!!!!! INCLUDING THE ART TEACHERS & ACCOUNTANTS THAT HAVE THE AUDACITY TO THINK THEY'RE QUALIFIED AS ANYTHING TO DO WITH MEDICINE. GAWD THEY'RE NOT EVEN QUALIFIED BY LAW TO PUT A BANDAID ON A KID'S FINGER, OR GIVE THEIR FATHER AN ASPIRIN!!!!!! NEVERMIND PRETEND TO BE A HEALTH MINISTER IN CHARGE OF A PANDEMIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE IDIOT LEADERS THAT PUT THEM IN THAT PORTFOLIO NEEDS TO BE HANGED FOR BEING SUCH A CALLOUS MONSTEROUS AIRHEADED ASH HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry if I'm losing it here. But this isn't the first story like this I've seen all the while reading how rich all these bazillionaires are getting and now add the vaccine makers into it as well. Not to mention the PPE and hand sanitizer companies. This whole fiasco is just a money game for those in the know behind the scenes and knows what's going on and what the next moves will be. Otherwise the rest of us can die of starvation as far as our governments care, as witnessed by this and other reports like it. I think they're using this pandemic to kill as many of us off any which way they can, whether that's from the virus itself or maybe starvation or exposure to the elements now that a lot of people have been kicked out of their homes because they couldn't pay their rent or mortgage. 

 

 
I don't know what the kitchen sink is exactly, but last night I posted an article itemizing all the meds he was on and some of the meds had nothing to do with the virus. Some were for stomach ulcers and others were the aspirin a day thing, because of aging and potentially clogging arteries. There were only 2 meds listed that I could see that were for the virus and one wasn't named but was by Regeneron and the other was Remdesivir made by Gilead Sciences and the other a steroid which because he's the president was probably given to him to ensure he doesn't get worse and not necessarily because he is worse than being let on. So what's the kitchen sink there? The aspirin maybe? Or perhaps the stomach meds to prevent or treat ulcers? I mean most medical professionals would do whatever they could to give their political leader an extra little boost to get better, rather than waiting for them to get sick enough to require that medicine, when they know full well the medicine won't hurt but will likely help enormously. Gawd, I'm not a political leader of anyone or anything but I've been given an extra little boost when the doctors thought it would help rather than hurt me, even though at the time I was given it I didn't "need" it.   Like I said many times before, but I am so tired of the stupidity, the lies, the made up BS, the hyperbole and just all of it, that I guess it's starting more and more to show in my comments on these stories. So yeah it is getting to be time I stopped doing this until something changes. Either people smarten up and start flying right and acting and thinking logically and rationally about this whole thing (I mean the politicians, the doctors that value being called a doctor and not just a grant chasing sycophant of someone or other and the media). Which given the track this whole thing started down, that's highly unlikely until or unless real doctors and those who really care about people and the economy get together and overthrow these bunch of treasonous genocidal ash holes, en masse and world wide. Don't let a one of them escape. Not one. Get 'em all and try them all! Because we really do need a "Great Reset" alright, but not the same kind Gates has envisioned for us all.

 

 
Israeli Couple Caught Violating Lockdown While Having Sex on the Beach Sure why not? After all the other lockdown violations I've read, might as well add Sex on the Beach - hey isn't that a drink? Hope the hot, wet, gritty sex was worth the fine!

So roughly 800 million of us then huh? And out of that there's a little over 1 million deaths? Then it's nowhere near as deadly as you've been making it out to be. So time to stop all this BS over it and let us get back to normal life then! 
 
 
 
Poll: Many Americans blame virus crisis on US government It's not just the US gov't that allowed the virus into their countries. Just about all the western countries did. 

 
Sikkim Governor announces Rs 1 lakh ex-gratia each for frontline warriors killed by COVID I hope that's a substantial enough amount to help them and not something that's worth something like $5 Canadian. Because otherwise that's more of an insult added to the injury than help.

Pretty soon if this keeps up we'll all be living virtual lives on the net with no real lives involved.  

Well that's good that  Twitter changed it's mind, because I don't recall anyone giving them the authority to abrogate  anyone's rights to freedom of speech and or expression, nor to any social media giant for that matter including Yahoo. 

Really???? Dr. Jenna M. figures that maybe taking anything at all, like say vitamin D isn't boosting your immune system against Covid 19? Well I've read a half a dozen or so articles lately that would argue that with her.  So while I'm not saying for sure that vitamin D does provide a boost to your immunity against Coronavirus, I'm saying there's a damned good chance it does, I'd even stick my neck on the line here and say probably at least an 80% chance. 

 

Good! I'm behind them 100%! 
 
Coronavirus: Trudeau says there’s "still time" to "turn around" 2nd wave by Christmas First we'd need to be in a 2nd wave, which we're not. But even still the way things are going even if we turned the first wave around, we'd never know it, because the authorities are intent on keeping us locked down until their magical cure-all vaccine is ready.
 

Which you haven't done and aren't capable of doing either. None of the politicians in this country nor any of those masquerading as health ministers are capable of finding the right balance.  Because you're all so privileged, you can't imagine what it might be like for some old person living alone, or some poor slob that lives in a 1 room roach hole that can't pay this week's rent or afford a loaf of bread, or the teen who so desperately wants to live a normal teenagers life but feels like they're perpetually being grounded for something they didn't do or the kid who's summer vacation was spent alone in his backyard playing in an ankle deep wading pool because he wasn't allowed to see his friends, go to day camp or even swimming in a decent public pool. No because you all have your decent salaries, well stocked fridges and pantries, plenty of colleagues you see and socialize with during working hours, your own inground swimming pools complete with slides and heaters. So you don't feel deprived of anything at all, nor does the rest of your family. So it's easy to go all draconian on the rest of us, when you yourselves aren't being affected by it at all. Try living in the real world though, like the rest of us have to do, and see how long you could stand it. Probably not more than a whole day (and that's those who are really trying their best to give it a good go) most though probably wouldn't manage a whole afternoon under those same conditions you impose on the rest of us.  That's also why I'm fed up here. I'm fed up with your hubris and hypocrisy, where you seem to think it's alright to impose harsh measures on the rest of us while you're impervious to it all.

Anyhow ending it here for the night before I wind up getting so angry I give myself a stroke or something. So until next time take care & stay well.
