March 10, 2021
With temperatures like we had today of +9C or about 48F it certainly feels like spring is in the air, but the ground is still covered in snow and ice. There's not a sprig of green vegetation to be seen anywhere except the boreal forest trees that are in the area. But the leafy trees don't even have leaf buds on them yet, so it doesn't appear anywhere near as close to spring as the picture above depicts. I chose it primarily to help lift my spirits and maybe others.
With more and more people being vaccinated now, there's less and less news about the virus itself, except in the cases of the virulent strains that's sprung up recently. I'm hoping and praying they don't start spreading like the original strain did, because otherwise we're in trouble, especially if some of the vaccinated people who got covid again was because of those strains.
Anyhow, things are looking up with an ominous shadow behind the hope, that we just hope doesn't overtake the hope we have and diminish or extinguish it altogether, with it's virulence and death dominating all hope. So we have to be vigilant and try as much as we can to prevent it from getting into our population and spreading like crazy.
Now on with the headlines....
Oh I can imagine, the disbelief and despair when you suddenly lose your multimillion dollar jobs. I remember the disbelief and despair poor old De Niro and Madonna expressed. It was poor lil ole me, I only have 3 million left in my bank account until my next gig, what am I going to do? Kind of BS I was reading while sneering at them, thinking well as a senior citizen here in Canada it's good everything of mine is paid, because I've only got $300 left in my bank account until the end of the month, what ever in the world am I going to do? Oh poor lil ole me.... And wondering how much some less well off seniors have until their next cheque arrives. It's really hard to get behind stars like that, when they come up with sheite like that, knowing how well off they are compared to most other people on planet earth, considering they figure in the 1%ers while the rest of us 99%ers are way below them in income and acquired wealth. I mean if you're that broke sell something, like some jewellry or one of your paintings or other things of worth or if you need more than that brings in sell off one of your gazillion properties you have all over the place. So I'm sorry if I can't sympathize with any of you, but that's life. Here's the story about De Niro whining about the pandemic: Robert De Niro Whines That COVID Hurt His Finances: ‘Lucky If He Makes $7.5 Million This Year’ and I'm sure it's in the blog somewhere, but incase I didn't post a link to it, here it is.... I'm sure there's also a link in the headlines in my blog to the story about Madonna too... But um yeah... How can you empathize with these self centered, self-entitled narcissists? I know I can't.
Thailand to quarantine foreign tourists on yachts, not in hotels That almost makes me want to go to Thailand. Well in all honesty that is one of the places I would love to go sequestered on a yacht or not.
Quebec to expand vaccination to people 65 and up in Montreal area: health minister Soooo.... It's starting to look like there might be some hope for more and more people. At least in the Montreal area.
Covid-19: Brazil experts issue warning as hospitals 'close to collapse' Yeah this is one of the things we have to seriously be concerned about. About it getting into Canada (it is already here, but hopefully in small enough numbers to contain it) and running rampant like it's doing in Brazil.
I wish QC would do the same. Because right now all that's on offer to us is Pfizer's and Moderna's, despite the fact that we're getting some of the AstraZeneca vaccine too.
WHO study finds 1 in 3 women face physical, sexual violence Wow! I would've never believed the numbers were so high! That's scary, considering many of them have no recourse, and no justice and some of them wind up dying on top of that.
Just Eat sales surge 50% in lockdown to €2.4bn Now if the restaurants that use those services only thought of how much money they and their customers could save if they only had their own delivery service. Nearly every restaurant (except fast food chain restaurants) in the area, has their own delivery service. I mean cars owned by the restaurant that are used by restaurant employee delivery personnel who are paid by the hour by the restaurant to deliver all their delivery orders. So if they have a few different orders from the same areas, they give them all to one delivery person going in that region to deliver one behind the other, while the other driver does another region of the delivery area.
Aide alimentaire: le point sur la situation That's why we should continue to donate to our local food banks and centre benevoles. The plandemic isn't over and most people who lost their jobs especially in rural areas like this, haven't regained their employment yet.
'Spike' in divorce since start of COVID-19 lockdown, says lawyer This doesn't come as any big surprise.
One in three Americans on unemployment benefits struggle to pay for food, housing - survey That's very sad. None of that should've happened if the gov'ts had've handled this plandemic properly and not the way Gates and Schwab laid out in their 201 Event conference.
Canada to benefit from U.S. rebound, says OECD Like a mangy dog running round the dinner table looking for dinner scraps? Because from what I've seen and read about Biden's USA, he's no more charitable to Canada than Trump was and he's as much a nationalist as Trump was too. So there's not apt to be too much falling off their plates onto Canada's floor, if Biden has anything to do with it.
Riggghhhhttttt..... Meanwhile they have no problems churning out 100 million doses for the American market as per a headlines above. Mr. Dressup is nothing more than a gullible moronic idiot, that everyone knows they can tell stories to and get away with their lies and so they do. Just like J&J - meanwhile there's stories elsewhere in the press that exposes their lies.
Exclusive: J&J 'under stress' to meet EU second-quarter vaccine supply goal - source Funny they don't seem to be under any such stress when it comes to supplying the Americans 100 million doses.
MPs say ‘no clear evidence’ Test and Trace scheme works in critical report This is in the UK.
Russia to make Sputnik V vaccine in Italy; a 1st in EU I guess that means the EU will have other options for a vaccine after-all.
120 000 $ pour contrer l’insécurité alimentaire causée par la pandémie en Estrie That amount of money should make a dent in several people's hunger, or at least I hope it does.
Happy campers: More overnight camps to reopen this summer Cdns don't get overly excited here, because unless they open the borders for Cdns to go touring the US or for non essential travel, you won't be able to partake of those overnight campgrounds.
Is that from the first dose given in the world as in the UK, or just the first dose given in the US?
RBC Canadian Open cancelled for second year in a row Well here's this post's cancellation...
Russia has struck deals to supply its vaccine to over 40 countries as poorer nations struggle to access Western shots That's good of them.
Record Lego sales as people look for lockdown distractions Our kids - our son in particular loved Lego or the Cdn equivalent called Mega Blocks that at the time made a lot of different themed building sets and were much cheaper than Lego.
Parks Canada cancels this year's Festival of Birds at Point Pelee National Park due to COVID-19 And yet another cancellation. Which for the life of me, I can't see why, as this is an outdoor event where there should be plenty of room for everyone to maintain their distance, while watching birds.
Money mule recruiters use fake online job adverts to target ‘generation COVID’ Generation COVID, well I must say, that's a new one on me.
Ontario Police College outbreak reaches more than 100 COVID-19 cases With any luck they'll all get it and die. I'm sorry but the way the cops have been behaving across Canada with their power tripping mania and ticket happy behaviour I have turned against cops in a big way. Now I see them as nothing more than the gov't's thugs, that's all.
Halifax police want COVID-19 vaccine priority, but Public Health says no Good I'm 100% behind NS' Public Health officer that decided that.
Anyhow, I am falling asleep at the keyboard now, so it's time to quit for the night. More headlines next time.... Until then take care & stay well.
