Trying My Best to Get These Headlines Over With At Least For Now.....

November 2, 2020

Here it is November 2 and I'm still far behind in posting the headlines, so since it's freezing cold out there today (yeah when I got up earlier our little table in the backyard had a thin layer of snow on it, so definitely cold enough for snow to land and stay without melting and the winds are pretty rough as well), I thought I'd give it my best to get as much of it done as possible today. I wish I could get all of it done, but that's not likely given the number of headlines there are, and those are just up until October 31st. 

So getting on with it now....

Well the answer to that question would seem rather obvious, I think. At least it is to me. And for those still trying to guess, the answer would be "no".
 
'Definite increase': Experts warn against underplaying recent surge in COVID-19 cases Oh definitely DO NOT underplay anything to do with this plandemic because we want to exaggerate everything as much as possible to use it to scare people into submission, whenever and however we can. Otherwise they won't go along with all the oppressive tactics we've resorted to using and may rise up against us. That's how they think. 

I can definitely understand the chef, while I can also understand the consulate employees who are still going to be there and will still need to eat during the plandemic, no matter how afraid the chef might be. Plus it's in the US and apparently they aren't operating the same way we are here in Canada where employees are allowed to stay home if they think their lives are in danger (or were during the first wave anyhow).
 
COVID-19: Hospital capacity likely to be surpassed in Montreal, surrounding regions Scaremongering at it's best. The hospital capacities in Montreal were never anywhere near in danger of being surpassed. Even now 23 days on, they're still not according to Legault.

Yup the  gestapo state in full force now!  

Thanksgiving gatherings can NOT be blamed for this surge because the date on this article is 4 full days before the Thanksgiving holiday. The ONLY THING THAT CAN BE BLAMED FOR IT is sending everyone back to school and work. But since they're not allowed out of the house otherwise, you can't blame social gatherings on it. So it has more to do with the return to school and work than anything else. Though they'll never admit it, because that would blow holes in their effort to keep their all precious economy alive even at the expense of many lives. That's why there was such a rise in cases and there will continue to be a high number of cases, all the while that's mandated.  
 
Canadian couple forced to quarantine at home after being denied entry at U.S. border They weren't allowed to drive through the US to their home in Mexico, but yet we allow Americans to drive through Canada to get to Alaska. How's that work? Is it a 1 way street here? Where the Americans get to do whatever they want but Canadians aren't allowed an inch inside their border? Then the stupidity of the law forcing them to quarantine for 14 days because they were in the US for all of 2 seconds, just long enough to get refused entry. They have to quarantine but bigwigs with gajillions of dollars who fly into the country don't have to quarantine at all, no matter if they're Cdn citizens or not. Seems like everyone else in the world has more rights in Canada than actual Canadians do. 

I still don't get how most countries in this world can claim they're in a 2nd wave when they didn't sufficiently get rid of the 1st wave!  

That doesn't say too much about the level of intelligence in our politicians nor medical community when everyone who practices medicine knows coronaviruses - the kind that causes colds, are airborne. So if the garden variety of coronavirus is airborne how come this one isn't????? I'm just getting so sick and tired of all the BS going on in regards to this virus and how dumb and pathetic they play when they want to and use whatever excuse they can to help it keep spreading (because that's what it seems like to me), so they can continue to use it for their ends of f'n our lives up permanently.  

The imbeciles in Ottawa wouldn't know a second wave if it bit them in the ass! Seriously. We haven't gotten through the first one yet. The numbers weren't sufficiently lowered for this to be considered a second wave, it's more of a resurgence of the first wave than anything else. But whatever....
 
Case counts alone don't paint a reliable picture of COVID-19 in Ontario, experts warn Like I've been saying.... But quoting the story: Instead, they say, Ontarians should consider a variety of statistics, including deaths, hospitalizations and positivity rates to get a clearer picture of what's happening --------> The case counts takes in all of those numbers since the beginning of the pandemic. Out of that number you minus the number of deaths, hospitalizations & current positive cases (which includes the hospitalized), to get the number of recuperated. The only numbers though that you have to be concerned about are the current positive cases combined with the current hospitalizations - to get the true picture of how many are currently infected in your province (whether that's ON, QC, PEI, BC or any of the other provinces or territories that's how you figure the current number of infections in the province). But some provinces like QC, likes to hide the current positive cases because that's not as scary as the other numbers like total cases over all, hospitalizations and deaths, so you have to do the math that I layed out above, if they have a "recuperated" number in their charts anywhere, which QC does. So first thing is take case numbers, minus number of deaths, and recuperated and you'll be left with the current number of active cases. To know the real number of active cases at large in the community and not hospitalized, just minus the hospitalized number from the remainder of the other equation. I'm glad they posted that article because it means the medical community is trying in a subtle way to show you that the numbers you're seeing in the news and media aren't really as big and scary as you have been led to believe they are.

 
Finding time for new hobbies during COVID-19  There are many sources of information, and how-tos on the internet, from YouTube videos demonstrating how to do something, whether that's how to use a particular tool, or how to make a particular crochet or knit stitch, or certain cooking or painting & sketching methods. Whatever you want to know how to do can probably be found online for free via video demonstrations or ebooks, or other. I've given sources for ebooks of all types on here already, just look in the right hand side column of labels for ebook and click on it and it'll take you to various sources for such. For video tutorials YouTube seems to be pretty good, just use their search engine to find whatever it is you're looking for and you'll be presented with  a list of videos of that type.
 
 
India-Israel 30-second coronavirus test should be 'ready in days' Unlike here in Canada, where we had various kinds of tests made all the way back in May but the bozo brains in Ottawa would approve them, because the art teacher is too stupid to figure out how they work, probably.

 
McDonald’s, Chipotle and Domino’s Are Booming During Coronavirus While Your Neighborhood Restaurant Struggles  Most of the restaurants in our area have always had and still have their own delivery services, like Domino's.

 
Lesson not learned: Europe unprepared as 2nd virus wave hits Well at least here they admit it, instead of sitting around and stupidly wondering if it was....

She didn't die because of the virus but because of the stupid measures taken on account of it. 
 
 
FBI busts militia 'plot' to abduct Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer I have a feeling that while that was a first plot to take down a leader of a jurisdiction (state, province, country, whatever), that this isn't likely to be the last, but the next ones might succeed, because people have had it. The next plots may not necessarily even be in North America, but be elsewhere, but that won't be the end of them either if things keep going the way they are.
 
U.S. government won't say why it allows Canadians to fly to U.S. despite border closure Same thing here, we have Americans flying into Canada as well, which no one even mentions, let alone justifies all this international travel to and from our country when the borders are supposed to be closed.
 
 
At Disney World, 'Worst Fears' About Virus Have Not Come True Because everything's always over hyped and exaggerated when it comes to this virus. Got to keep everyone on tenterhooks and afraid of everything all the time. 

Quoting the article here:  "As long as the virus continues to spread, previously normal activities such as going to a bar, attending a crowded concert, or even hosting a family gathering over the holidays will continue to come with significant risks. And those risks aren't only about your own health, Tsipursky stressed. 

Because the virus preys on the vulnerable, this year a normal holiday gathering can "kill grandma," Tsipursky said. And the virus' path to such a vulnerable person can wind through their family's everyday activities." --------> Do you see where they list the risks? Well I have one question for those scaremongering geniuses..... If that's the case, how come here in QC, the numbers keeps going up or are up around the record high of 1,000 cases per day, daily, when the only things we're allowed to do is go to work and school. All bars and restaurants are closed and we're not allowed to socialize with anyone outside of our own households, so how come we're seeing those numbers if it's family gatherings and bars where we're getting this disease from???????????? Please answer me that oh genius scaremongerers, would you please???? For my sake so I can finally understand how even though all those activities you had the audacity to mention as being the cause is both forbidden AND closed here in Quebec, but yet there's no relenting in the spread of it!!!!!! So PULEASE explain that to me! Because I seriously want to know!

Majority of Canadians support closing non-essential businesses during second wave: Nanos survey I guess they think that means they'll get another long extended paid vacation courtesy of the taxpayers (which they are too but seemingly too clueless to figure things out on their own). But what happens if or when the government runs out of money to dole out to everyone every month? Or when the payments come due and we have to repay all that money so the country doesn't go into receivership with the IMF and they come and loot every resource and dollar they can find to pay themselves back, for lending us the money to bail us out with our debts all over the freaking world!?!  Yeah guess none of them thought of that. Bet most don't have a clue about anything to do with that either.

Trust in science wanes, another casualty of coronavirus pandemic Well because if the politicians are getting their advice on how to handle this pandemic from "scientists" then I wonder why it's waning.... It's amazing they still have even a modicum of trust in them left. Because being a former nurse and knowing how contagious infectious diseases are SUPPOSED TO BE HANDLED, has left me ALL ASKEW. I mean I can't even fathom why they didn't enact proper protocol and measures and just let this virus into their respective countries to run rampant. Anyone with a half a braincell involved in medicine should've been ringing the alarm bells loud and clear even if their govt and heads of public health weren't. It was equally their job to prevent the disease from getting into the country as anyone else in authority's simply because it's a doctor's job to "DO NO HARM". And let me just hazard a guess and say there was MEGA HARM done to millions of people world wide because physicians who were hoping for grants and promotions couldn't be bothered to jeopardize those benefits for the sake of alerting their fellow citizens and media (who would then promulgate for border closures all on their own whether the politicians and public health authorities wanted it or not).  Let me just say that I not only HOPE & PRAY that you were denied all those grants and promotions BUT THAT YOU TOO GOT SWAMPED WITH TREATING THIS DISEASE & ALSO CONTRACTED IT YOURSELVES!!!!! That would serve you all right! But that doesn't let nurses off the hook either as they too knew full well how to stop it and what had to be done to prevent it from getting into the country as well, but they didn't do or say anything about it either. I get they feel they don't have the authority, but they should have MORAL AUTHORITY to do what's right even when all the doctors around them are being pigheaded stubborn ash holes. So theoretically it doesn't let them off the hook either. You all fell down on the job and now you wonder why trust in science is waning????? Hmmmm sure beats me.... Ummmm duhhhh....

Your Past Colds Could Help Ward Off Serious COVID-19 Symptoms: Study

I'm hoping H1N1 wards it off, since I haven't had a cold or flu or even sore throat since I got the H1N1 virus in 2009. So maybe if H1N1 wards off the common cold virus (which is a coronavirus) it'll ward that off too. Assuming I didn't have COVID19 back in January, as I'm sure I did but can't prove at least not without an antibody test.

Canadians are rich, but this Thanksgiving, our well-being is trickier to measure

Of course we care about each other even if the politicians don't. That's why I spend hours a day doing this, for the benefit of other Canadians who might wish to know something in particular that they might've missed or didn't get all the facts on, or who needs/wants to know where they can find financial aid or other. That's why our neighbours help us out with things that we need done.  That's why our family helps each other out doing whatever we can to help despite this stupid pandemic. It's only the gestapo and nazis in power that don't seem to care and those career minded medical professionals who put their promotions, and grants above all else.

Pandemic has prompted interest in wills, Edmonton estate lawyers say

It's really sad that a pandemic had to come along to make people care about not dying intestate. Everyone over the age of 18 or legal age in your province should have a will. If you own anything at all, whether that's merely a starting bank account or that along with say some cool electronic gadgets and a car (no matter the age of it), you should have a will otherwise the gov't can determine who gets what and if you're single, never married that'll be your parents if they're still alive and if not, it'll be your next next of kin which could be a sibling (whom you may or may not get along with). So if you have something that you would like to go to someone in particular you need a will. Whether there was a pandemic or not, because we're all prone to dying anytime anywhere. We can get zapped by a bolt out of the blue, as easily as we can get hit by a car, or just have our heart stop beating. We don't need coronavirus around to do us in.

Canadians create COVID-era Thanksgiving traditions as cases climb, restrictions mount I didn't give a flying F about restrictions etc.... We had our usual Thanksgiving celebrations that we've had since the year after our daughter died (who came home to die around Thanksgiving, so she could have her last Thanksgiving with us - but she couldn't eat anything). So since that Thanksgiving there's NOTHING that's going to stop me celebrating Thanksgiving with our son. NOTHING. A gov't directive wants to try and I'll have it in court as being unconstitutional it's head will spin.

Best Western CEO fears for the industry’s future: ‘It’s really bad’ No doubt for Best Westerns it is really bad, considering the cost they charged for mediocre rooms (and that was back in 2014 & in Nfld). I mean gawd in some other hotel/motels you can rent a luxurious suite for the same price as a mediocre room in a Best Western. I know we did in Lunenburg NS. We had an awesome motel suite - it was like an apartment with separate bedrooms, kitchen (not kitchenette a whole sit in at dining table kitchen) and livingroom with laundry facilities and a patio outside complete with patio equipment and BBQ. It was beautiful and it was much cheaper than the Best Western there. So until the Best Western gets competitive it's likely to keep getting worse for them. It's a wonder they manage to survive as it is (before the pandemic started).

I don't think we need to worry about reinfections, because up until now there haven't been that many reported reinfections in the news and if it weren't a rare phenomenon the media would be ignoring the reports like this as there'd have been so many it would seem commonplace. So the mere fact they're reporting this means there haven't been that many and it's still a rare occurrence.

I'm sure all the cattle ranchers in Alberta will wind up having to do that, after the health job cuts, especially if they or one of their loved ones comes down with the virus, they'll need someone to hug and since they'll have to self quarantine it won't be a loved one, so it'll have to wind up being one of their bovine.

Anyhow that's enough for the day.... Until next time take care & stay well.
