Of COVID19 News
May 10, 2020
I don't know about you, but I was enjoying the rather protracted break from the Coronavirus news in here and the distractions posted instead. So in a way this feels a lot like Monday mornings used to feel when I had to get up and go to work, posting news links and comments about this neverending nightmare we find ourselves living through. But there will be more distractions later. I promise.
As death toll mounts, Quebec Seniors' Minister Marguerite Blais faces a reckoning Personally, I think from the very beginning the whole thing with the seniors residences and long term care facilities has been mismanaged (both the public & private ones), where seniors were just outright abandonned in those facilities and left to die on their own. Those who did that should be held criminally responsible but weren't. Instead there just sadness that this happened expressed and no indignant outrage that this was even allowed to happen in the first place, without legal repercussions being discussed at all. That alone is criminal in itself, I think.
There may never be a COVID-19 vaccine, warns WHO coronavirus expert And Trudeau doesn't think that we should open Canada up until there is a vaccine? So he's thinking that Canada should remain shut down forever, then? Would seem to me to be the case.
REVEALED: 66% of New York state coronavirus hospitalizations are people staying at HOME and NOT essential workers - which begs question: Does lockdown even work? Considering we've been under lock down since this blog began in mid-March and we're approaching mid-May - hence 2 months, and it's still spreading, it doesn't look at all like it's working. At least not the way it was supposed to work as explained at the beginning. In the beginning we were told that because it had a 2 week incubation period that we'd know within 2 weeks how many people had it and after they were clear of it, if no one else developed it, we'd be let out of quarantine. Except that that's not how it worked because almost 2 months later (or 6 weeks after the viral spread was supposed to have been finally determined and over with), we're still under lockdown and it's still spreading despite that.
Months before Florida leaders had any clue, coronavirus was creeping through the state Like I suspected here too. Considering that I am positive (though I'll never know as no one will ever test me for antibodies to find out), I had the same thing at the beginning of January here in the Montreal region.
Why Empty Planes Keep Flying Through the Pandemic Well I suppose one excuse is as good as another for losing money.
Coronavirus In Pittsburgh: Researcher Killed In Apparent Murder-Suicide Was Close To ‘Making Very Significant Findings’ Related To COVID-19, Pitt Says That seems to be the American way, whenever someone is on a breakthrough to something significant, someone else has to murder them. Now in this particular case my question is why.... Was it a revenge murder suicide for something totally unrelated to the project he was working on, or was the researcher killed and someone offed someone else to make it look like a murder suicide, so that that would be the end of the trail and not look for who actually killed him? As in it's someone who either wanted to steal his work for their glory or to bury it, so that no one ever knows how close he came to the cure? When I see things like this and especially if they happen in the US or Russia, it gets my suspicions up about as high as they go. And in this case, they're super high.
Finland’s Landmark Trial Finds Basic Income Brings Happiness But Not Jobs I think the clown in parliament is finding this out now, with his $2,000 a month payments and people not wanting to return to work while they're collecting that money.
Layoffs Start Turning From Temporary to Permanent Across America That's probably going on here as well.
High and dry: Icelanders inconsolable without their pools Hmmm, I don't know as I'd mourn the loss of an outside pool in wintertime, like that. But it would certainly be nice to have one in the summertimes around here.
Stars and scientists call for world not to 'go back to normal' Yup all these mega stars with their mega millions don't want the world to go back to normal because they have all the money they'll ever need and all the things they ever wanted out of life already. Too bad if the rest of us don't. That's our problem apparently.
Federal aid package 'just too little' to help beef industry hit hard by COVID-19, association warns You know after seeing Trudeau dole out money everyday (except this weekend) on his doorstep to everyone under the sun, except the seniors who by default have an additional 21% cost of living they've had to incur on account of him demanding they stay home & order everything online or on the phone, but he hasn't had the decency to compensate them for that in any way, I start to see red when I see whiners like this. At least they got something. The ONLY THINGS THE SENIORS ARE GETTING IS IGNORED AT BEST & KILLED BY INCOMPETENCY RUNNING AMOK IN GOV'T ADMINISTRATIONS & IDIOTS WHO NEED THEIR MEDICAL LICENSES YANKED. It's to the point where I am starting to think that calling in all these people to help the seniors and not needing testing beforehand to see if the people being called in are positive, is done on purpose, to infect and to cut down on the seniors in those facilities. And the imposed house arrest and segregation from society and even their families, IS MEANT TO HAVE A PSYCHOLOGICAL PURPOSE BAD ENOUGH THAT THE SENIOR EVENTUALLY KILLS THEMSELVES, OR THEY WIND UP IN DIRE SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF THE 21% COST OF LIVING INCREASE, THAT SEES THEM NOT ABLE TO PAY THEIR BILLS ANYMORE OR THEIR CREDIT CARDS MAXXING OUT ON THEM AND THEN NOT BEING ABLE TO BUY ANYTHING WITH THEM. SO STARVING TO DEATH OR FINDING THEMSELVES ON THE STREETS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD TO PAY THEIR BILLS ANYMORE. I am actually starting to think this was all planned and orchestrated in advance to cut down on the senior populations, rather than protect them. And the cattlemen want to whine because they're not getting enough money eh? Well hello there cattlemen at least you're getting something while the seniors get nothing and on top of that it doesn't appear as though the gov'ts prime objectives are to kill you personally, like it appears that might be the case for the seniors. Where it looks like their own gov'ts are out to get them one way or the other.
3 reasons the COVID-19 death rate is higher in U.S. than Canada I know one reason already and I've already posted links to the document that regulates how they determine COVID deaths and that is that the CDC demanded that any death that could even be feasibly related to COVID be determined as thus on the death certificates, although I honestly don't know how a head trauma leading to death can be attributed to COVID but apparently one was. Also hospitals get 20% more funding when they say they are treating COVID patients (maybe there aren't any and they're just pneumonia patients or people with arthritis - because now everything is basically covid related, but they'll say they're covid in order to get the funding). Even the new doctor that replaces Fauci in the US thinks that the CDC numbers are 25% higher than they actually should be.

Depleted national stockpile leaves Canada reliant on China for masks, gowns and other supplies during pandemic Of course it's depleted considering we sent them all to China in exchange for subpar equipment from them.
Coronavirus: Researcher on brink of ‘very significant findings’ killed in apparent murder-suicide Another story about that researcher, with different/added details.
Montreal hospitals running short on space, 2 weeks from reopening Wondering why? If being under quarantine for 14 days was supposed to expose all infected with it and that would be the end of it, as they said at the beginning of the lockdown?
Coronavirus survivors banned from joining the military They're going to be in trouble if eventually everyone or most everyone gets it. Guess the troops are going to be dwindling then. Then I guess they better drop their hegemony and antagonism from their operations manuals, if that's the case.
Why Coronavirus Is Punishing the Economy More than Spanish Flu The one obvious factor the author failed to mention is total mass quarantine. Back then quarantines generally worked in reverse of how they're being conducted now and this that the sick & their contacts were under quarantine but the rest were allowed to continue on with their lives - to work, shop and play.
How Quebec's desperate attempt to fill staffing holes is spreading COVID-19 in hospitals and nursing homes Wow! It looks like they might actually be cluing in. Wonder if it'll make a difference though or not, or if they'll just continue those practices until the seniors residences are basically emptied?
'The Simpsons' Predicted Coronavirus And Murder Hornets. Sort Of. Now for some comic relief. Is it possible that the writer of the Simpsons scripts is prescient? I mean they did predict Trump would be president and seemingly even 9/11!
UK scientist who warned over virus quits for lockdown breach This makes you wonder just how serious this virus is, when the people who are avocating lockdown decides they don't have to abide by the same rules everyone else does, especially when they're scientists.
Travel From New York City Seeded Wave of U.S. Outbreaks, Probably the same is true for here in Quebec, considering a lot of "snowbirds" from Quebec have to drive through NY state to get back home here to QC. So there's nothing stopping them from taking a side trip to NYC just to see something and then bringing the virus along with all their other souvenirs home with them.
Black Mirror creator not working on season 6 because we already feel depressed Have never heard of this show before, but if there's any signs of the times, this must be it, given the show's description.
A tale of two parks: Enjoying the sun in wealthy Manhattan, social distancing under police scrutiny in the Bronx That's almost akin to the Cdn police giving $1,500 tickets to the homeless. To me those tickets are nothing more than a money grab, putting those who issue them on insane power trips.

As Restaurants Remain Shuttered, American Cities Fear the Future They were crying about that in downtown Montreal too. Especially all office workers being encouraged to work from home and with the restaurants closed down too after the retail reopening starts, all it would leave really is retail stores. But with half the streets on one side being taken away to allow for social distance walking, and lowering/eliminating cars & parking spaces, they figure that'll kill Montreal's downtown too.
Domestic violence shelters in financial crisis because of COVID-19 'pandemic within a pandemic' Women's shelters, cops, social workers and everyone else involved in this segment of society should've seen this coming and made contingency plans for shelter overflow from the start.
Greater Montreal COVID-19 reopening put off as cases in region surge We have been waiting patiently almost 2 months now for stores to reopen at least temporarily so we can get some much needed computer parts so my husband can finish fixing my computer someday. Hopefully this century if not this year.
Greyhound Canada suspends all bus routes in Canada due to COVID-19 I thought they had abolished all Canadian bus routes a long time ago.
SQ arrests 2 after string of Quebec cellphone tower fires I'm not saying that the cellphone towers cause anything, or even validating their paranoia, all I'm doing is stating facts: All radio waves, micro waves, sonar & radar waves, x-rays etc all fall in the light spectrum and while the scientists may want to deny that any exposures to them except x-rays won't hurt you. Anyone in their right minds already knows microwaves will and there were even towers set up around the white house that basically disables all electronics of anything flying nearby and causes them to crash and some reportedly (in the 70s at least) burned the bodies of the occupants of those disabled craft. At the time they were said (I believe if my memory serves me correctly) to be microwave dishes on towers to bring down any aircraft that would have the audacity to fly in the restricted airspace over the white house. I think the corpse burning was an unintended feature, that may have been rectified since that report was aired, but we don't know. So yes various waves on the light spectrum scale can and do hurt, injure and kill people. Whether this particular frequency does or not, I don't know. I just know it's patently absurd and downright lies when scientists comes out and says the only thing on that spectrum that can hurt you is x-rays and in the UV spectrum itself. So do the frequencies involved in cellphone transmissions of any technology level hurt the human body? We know without a doubt that the cellphone itself does. It's the radiation emitted from it, that does. We know high tension power lines on the towers that conveys power to everyone's households causes leukemia in young children, if they live or go to school within 600 yards of such a tower. That is known. So I don't know about this. I'm not saying those 2 are right, but then again I don't know if they're wrong either. I know when cellphones started to take off, schools and churches and places where people congregate, those buildings' rooftops were being rented out as prime real estate to cellphone tower companies. Then there was a loud outcry about an uptick and in cancer cases (and I don't know if was proven or not) and they made the cellphone companies remove their towers from their rooftops and find another place to put them, as a result. In any case, like the saying goes "it's better to be safe rather than sorry". So maybe on the side of caution, I'd back those two until science proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's harmless.
As Quebec opens up, Canada's top science adviser questions province's lack of COVID-19 testing But whyyyy? Why would they test everyone? Especially if they're not interested in knowing how many have had it, how many have it and how many haven't had it yet! They only want to know if those with symptoms has it or not, that's all. They're not interested in finding out how prevalent is has been in the population and how many may already be immune to it (or at least have some antibodies to it). So of course if you don't have symptoms they don't want to test you.

Splendid isolation: islands prove safe ports in virus storm That's what happens when you have someone who can see past the end of their noses and see what's coming in order to make preparations to deal with it properly. Unlike the idiots in Canada.
Authorities can't enter private property without a warrant, but this defence lawyer still has concerns So in other words an over zealous power tripping cop cannot go onto your property to give you tickets for social distancing or knock on the door and hand you a ticket for it either because you have a relative over dinner or just a piece of cake and coffee. On public property - just like with your vehicles they can try to ticket you as much as they want (whether you fight them and they stick or not is irrelevant), but not on private property.
And here's a little tip that I learnt from a friend who happened to be the sister to a cop, they can not hide on private property or in driveways or parking lots belonging to private businesses or individuals in order to watch for traffic violators. If they were in a private parking lot watching traffic and then take off from there chasing the violator down to give them a ticket you can fight that in court and win hands down as that's illegal too.

Shutdown of tent cities a chance to change housing policy, advocates say That would be great if it's not just some fleabag hotel with no private bathroom or cooking facilities in the rooms they plan on using instead.
Canadians trust doctors, scientists and government more since pandemic began I don't know who they polled because everyone I know trusts the government and certain doctors less.
Planning for a disaster during COVID-19 is no easy task I don't imagine it's an easy task at any time. So I find this an astonishingly stupid title, if there ever was one.
Nova Scotia's proposed 5-step plan to lift restrictions could take years to complete Years? What are the people who work in the sectors that don't open again for another few years supposed to do for a living in the meantime? Not everyone like raking moss on the side of the road in the fog, nor going out fishing. So what else will they be able to do to support themselves in the meantime?
Quebec School Reopening Rules Will Restrict Students I hope that it's not going to be like that forever, or else we'll be looking at little blimps, akin to the wheelchair robots in the Wall-E cartoon, as they won't be allowed to move an inch to burn a single calorie off all day long.
Quebec relies on hundreds of asylum seekers in long-term care battle against COVID-19 It's because of, all the different personnel that keeps traipsing in and out of those facilities that the seniors are dying. Look at the 2 examples where no one traipsed in and out and all the personnel stayed inside with the seniors until lockdown finished. None of the seniors or other people there had the virus and no one died. Here though the personnel are not only changed daily but at every shift as well. If there's 3 shifts a day there, well there's at least 3 different people that they're being exposed to and just because today the 3 workers had no virus exposure, doesn't mean that this time tomorrow when they come back to work they won't have had, especially if they had to come into contact with other people while buying groceries, getting gas, at the bank, or on public transit. If one or all 3 workers get it and get quarantined at home, that means they'll be replaced by 3 more workers and we're back again with the same story. So it'll never end as long as you keep doing it that way. So stop frantically looking around for a ton of people and find the people who are already doing the job and are not infected and quarantine them inside the facility with the other residents who aren't infected, while removing the infected ones to a medical facility and then afterwards to another holding facility until they can go back to their original one after the all clear is given for everyone.

How coronavirus — a 'rich man's disease' — infected the poor
Why farmers dump food and crops while grocery stores run dry and Americans struggle You know I don't get the excuse of restaurants, school cafeterias, etc, being the reason for drastic reduction in food supply, considering that it's the precise same amount of people eating now as prepandemic. So what they ate elsewhere. Just because they ate elsewhere doesn't mean they were eating more. They probably ate the same amount, just maybe then they were eating more junk food than they are now. So their eating habits have changed, but they still eat and it's still the same amount of people who are eating probably about the same amount of meals as well. So what's the problem here?
Study: Patients Low In Vitamin D Twice As Likely To Develop Severe COVID-19 Symptoms Someone up there is looking out for me big time as this is the third article I've come across indicating that something helps prevent or protect one from the virus and so far I'm batting 3 of 3. This time I was prescribed at the very beginning of January (just before I had what I think was my infection from it), 10,000 units of vitamin D to take once a week. So, I have the inhaler for my asthma that they use to help people fight the disease while on the ventilators, I have the vitamin D necessary to ward off severe symptoms and according to that nicotine story out of France, I was a heavy smoker for a few decades (though I haven't smoked in 11 years now, I guess - yeah June 2009 is when we quit, so yeah 11 years) - don't know if that's been too long to be of any good, but maybe....
The latest fallout from COVID-19? A ‘tsunami of hate’ across world, says UN chief I hope that they don't decide to turn their rage against the seniors figuring it's all the seniors faults that they were quarantined and that if there were no seniors around there would've been no quarantine. Because I can see that coming, considering how the officials kept saying to stay home to protect the seniors (which made no sense to me considering the seniors were also told to stay home and go no where and see no one - so if the seniors did that, then everyone else could've done as they pleased and it wouldn't have had any affect on the seniors). But hey I guess everyone needs an excuse which hopefully doesn't wind up being a scapegoat for the quarantines. Though I can see it becoming that. Like I said before I think the gov'ts have devised the perfect way to kill the seniors off altogether. If they can't infect them and kill them in the death camps called seniors residences and long term care facilities, they'll try to starve them by forcing a 21% increase in the cost of living on them with no additonal money to cover that cost of living increase given to them. Which will make them fall behind in payments because they won't have the money to keep absorbing that extra 21% charge and so wind up getting kicked out of their dwelling or starving or maybe both. That is if the credit card doesn't max out first - which will surely cause starvation as they won't be able to pay for food any other way over the phone or the internet (even if they have money in their bank accounts). If none of that gets them then maybe the ensuing backlash and rage that is bound to be directed at them by those who lost everything due to the "quarantine to protect the elderly" BS.

Community gardens open to delight of green thumbs Wondering when or if the community gardens like this will be opening soon in Montreal? Right now I have my own gardens but I don't know as I'll be planting them this year because the growing season seems to be rather shorter than usual due to the cold weather we've been having lately.
In the early days of the pandemic, the U.S. government turned down an offer to manufacture millions of N95 masks in America, I swear both our governments in the US & Canada couldn't be any dumber if they tried. Both of them managed to do all they could to make sure they weren't equipped for this virus. Accidentally? Or accidentally on purpose? I think the whole thing world wide (well at least in the Western G whatever countries) this was all orchestrated and timed on purpose, including the PPE shortages etc.
Armed With Swabs, Covid Hunters Stalk Their Prey
As many as 75,000 could die from "deaths of despair" as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. One expert says economic turmoil has always led to an increase in suicides. Not to mention solitary confinement which is what's being forced on many of us, especially seniors, who aren't even allowed out to buy their own groceries, or to see anyone at all.

Virus Conspiracists Elevate a New Champion I'll let you decide for yourself if she's a conspiracy theorist, a doctor, or something other than either of those by allowing you to read the article (allegations against her are in the article) her book (mentionned in the article) downloadable here via the longfiles link: Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science - it's an epub. The official Plandemic Movie Site - And concerning her this is something that ought to have you questioning the "authorities" version versus her's: ‘Plandemic’: Was Judy Mikovits Arrested Without a Warrant and Jailed Without Charges?
I highly recommend that if nothing else, that if you don't want to read her book, you should at least listen to her "Plandemic" video while you can. I have been enraged at the doctors not speaking up and sitting on their thumbs while the pandemic raged on, and not understanding why they weren't speaking up. Until now. See the whole medical establishment's rules and methods of working seems to have changed a lot since I was in nursing over 40 years ago. When I was a nurse the system seemed to be for the most part straight up and honest. Doctors were there to prevent people from getting sick in the first place and help those who did to recover and to advise the public health officers of any potential contagions in the community. Public health officers contacted quarantine officers who were responsible for ensuring the contagious patient & their contacts maintained quarantine. That's how all things like this were handled since modern medicine started. NOT THE BS WAY IT'S BEING DONE NOW! To understand better what's going on and why and who's behind it. You really do need to see that video and if you have time (and since we're all under lockdown now, who doesn't?) read her book. The mainstream media is trying to paint her as an anti-vaxxer (or someone who doesn't believe in vaccines), she herself says she's an immunologist meaning she does work with and believes greatly in vaccines. Just I suppose not BS vaccines that will probably never exist or if it does, it'll just be a bogus vaccine that doesn't do anything except make Fauci & Gates a ton of money. Anyhow watch the video for yourself and decide for yourself whether the mainstream media is right or if she might be right instead.
Anxious About the Virus, Older Voters Grow More Wary of Trump Here in Canada I'd grow more wary of Trudeau as well, since he seems to be doing his best to ignore the seniors and their plight. So far as he's concerned they're locked up out of sight and thus out of mind and that seems to be the way he wants to keep them. He doesn't even want to have remember them for anything either, especially helping them out financially since by his edicts he's gone and increased their overall cost of living by 21% (credit card interest charges tacked onto all their purchases). I guess he figures they can continue to pay those interest charges forever with no help, even though they barely get enough to live on as it is. So yeah, the seniors should rally together to demand the opposition parties call for a non-confidence vote and have the little idiot kicked out of office.

Because I can see that coming, considering how the officials kept saying to stay home to protect the seniors (which made no sense to me considering the seniors were also told to stay home and go no where and see no one - so if the seniors did that, then everyone else could've done as they pleased and it wouldn't have had any affect on the seniors). But hey I guess everyone needs an excuse which hopefully doesn't wind up being a scapegoat for the quarantines. Though I can see it becoming that. Like I said before I think the gov'ts have devised the perfect way to kill the seniors off altogether. If they can't infect them and kill them in the death camps called seniors residences and long term care facilities, they'll try to starve them by forcing a 21% increase in the cost of living on them with no additonal money to cover that cost of living increase given to them. Which will make them fall behind in payments because they won't have the money to keep absorbing that extra 21% charge and so wind up getting kicked out of their dwelling or starving or maybe both. That is if the credit card doesn't max out first - which will surely cause starvation as they won't be able to pay for food any other way over the phone or the internet (even if they have money in their bank accounts). If none of that gets them then maybe the ensuing backlash and rage that is bound to be directed at them by those who lost everything due to the "quarantine to protect the elderly" BS.

Community gardens open to delight of green thumbs Wondering when or if the community gardens like this will be opening soon in Montreal? Right now I have my own gardens but I don't know as I'll be planting them this year because the growing season seems to be rather shorter than usual due to the cold weather we've been having lately.
In the early days of the pandemic, the U.S. government turned down an offer to manufacture millions of N95 masks in America, I swear both our governments in the US & Canada couldn't be any dumber if they tried. Both of them managed to do all they could to make sure they weren't equipped for this virus. Accidentally? Or accidentally on purpose? I think the whole thing world wide (well at least in the Western G whatever countries) this was all orchestrated and timed on purpose, including the PPE shortages etc.
Armed With Swabs, Covid Hunters Stalk Their Prey
As many as 75,000 could die from "deaths of despair" as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. One expert says economic turmoil has always led to an increase in suicides. Not to mention solitary confinement which is what's being forced on many of us, especially seniors, who aren't even allowed out to buy their own groceries, or to see anyone at all.

Virus Conspiracists Elevate a New Champion I'll let you decide for yourself if she's a conspiracy theorist, a doctor, or something other than either of those by allowing you to read the article (allegations against her are in the article) her book (mentionned in the article) downloadable here via the longfiles link: Plague of Corruption: Restoring Faith in the Promise of Science - it's an epub. The official Plandemic Movie Site - And concerning her this is something that ought to have you questioning the "authorities" version versus her's: ‘Plandemic’: Was Judy Mikovits Arrested Without a Warrant and Jailed Without Charges?
I highly recommend that if nothing else, that if you don't want to read her book, you should at least listen to her "Plandemic" video while you can. I have been enraged at the doctors not speaking up and sitting on their thumbs while the pandemic raged on, and not understanding why they weren't speaking up. Until now. See the whole medical establishment's rules and methods of working seems to have changed a lot since I was in nursing over 40 years ago. When I was a nurse the system seemed to be for the most part straight up and honest. Doctors were there to prevent people from getting sick in the first place and help those who did to recover and to advise the public health officers of any potential contagions in the community. Public health officers contacted quarantine officers who were responsible for ensuring the contagious patient & their contacts maintained quarantine. That's how all things like this were handled since modern medicine started. NOT THE BS WAY IT'S BEING DONE NOW! To understand better what's going on and why and who's behind it. You really do need to see that video and if you have time (and since we're all under lockdown now, who doesn't?) read her book. The mainstream media is trying to paint her as an anti-vaxxer (or someone who doesn't believe in vaccines), she herself says she's an immunologist meaning she does work with and believes greatly in vaccines. Just I suppose not BS vaccines that will probably never exist or if it does, it'll just be a bogus vaccine that doesn't do anything except make Fauci & Gates a ton of money. Anyhow watch the video for yourself and decide for yourself whether the mainstream media is right or if she might be right instead.
Anxious About the Virus, Older Voters Grow More Wary of Trump Here in Canada I'd grow more wary of Trudeau as well, since he seems to be doing his best to ignore the seniors and their plight. So far as he's concerned they're locked up out of sight and thus out of mind and that seems to be the way he wants to keep them. He doesn't even want to have remember them for anything either, especially helping them out financially since by his edicts he's gone and increased their overall cost of living by 21% (credit card interest charges tacked onto all their purchases). I guess he figures they can continue to pay those interest charges forever with no help, even though they barely get enough to live on as it is. So yeah, the seniors should rally together to demand the opposition parties call for a non-confidence vote and have the little idiot kicked out of office.
