As the title says, I'm lacking the get up and go I need to get up and do the stuff I have to do here, but will have to in a matter of minutes anyhow. But since I was also fighting the urge to just not bother posting the headlines today either, I figured I should at least start it, so that way, I'll have to finish it or at least whatever I can of them.
As you can see by the picture chosen for today's post, there's a doctor holding a vial of vaccine and tons of people behind him clamoring it get it. That pretty much represents the picture out there in Canada today. We have the vaccine and some provinces are administering it already while others like Ontario are dithering and dancing around like they're doing a peepee dance or something, trying to figure out what to do. Meanwhile the masses who are tired of being couped up inside under lockdown and want to get out and start living again are chafing at the bit to get their vaccinations. I seriously don't understand the stupidity going on in Ontario at the moment and as a result I'm seriously glad I don't live there too. They're lucky their first target group of those 85+ aren't as spry as the younger groups are, because I think if they were there'd be a massive revolt over the collective idiocy manifesting itself in the rollout there. Like my son used to say... Gawd, they're dumber than a bucket of shrimp. I've never seen anything like it and that's OUR MILITARY IN CHARGE OF THE ONTARIO ROLL OUT!!!! So that gives you a pretty good idea of how pathetically stupid our military are!!!!! I just pity the poor Ontarians that's all.
Having just finished loading the washing machine with the whites, and seeing the amount of clothes I have left to wash (another 3 loads probably), it looks like I may not finish all the headlines after all as I'm going to be spending a lot of time folding lots of laundry today. So I'll post what I can and the rest will have to wait until next time.
So settle in and dig into the headlines that await....
Having been a nurse that quit and that was years ago before the medicare system got so cheap and decrepit with cutbacks and closures of other hospitals (that took the overflow from the ones now left open), it's because it's freaking horrible sheity job with lousy pay (literally). Nurses are at everyone's beck and call, from superior nurses, doctors, patients, patients visitors and you freaking name it. We have to literally answer to everyone as quickly and politely as possible and attend to everyone's whims, whether it be because it's inbetween mealtimes and they're hungry or thirsty, to bedpans, to helping them to the washroom, to checking vitals and catheters, to helping move patients who are incapable of moving themselves as in roll over so they don't develop bed sores, to doling out medication and giving needles, preparing them for various medical procedures and operations like shaving or administering enemas, or whatever is required for the procedure in question. All the while listening the patients moans and groans and sometimes protests or even threats (especially when they don't like what's being done). Then contending with angry or impatient visitors (relatives and friends) who may not like it because their friend/family member pressed the call bell a couple of minutes ago and you didn't instantly beam into their room at the precise press of the bell and they had to wait a few minutes for you to get there. The fact that you may have been required to help stabilize another patient in another room, is irrelevant and you're not to let this impatient patient and their visitors know that. You're just supposed to accept their grievances and apologize for them as if it was all your fault after all. All of that, plus all the years of training to make 2x minimum wage. Plus some doctors like to blame the nurses for all their faults and mistakes and nurses are required by law to straighten them up when they don't fly right and prescribe the wrong medicine or make the wrong diagnosis. So in other words we're required to know as much as doctors do in order to be able to correct them when they're wrong, and we get the sheity end of the stick by such heavy responsibilities and lousy pay. Now couple that with hospital closures, cutbacks (in everything from funding to personnel - so less people to help carry the load) and the pandemic on top of it all! And you wonder why they're leaving???? I'm wondering why they haven't abandonned the profession en masse already - a long time ago, before the plandemic even was a twinkle in Gates and Schwab's eyes.
Back in the day when I was a nurse, we also had to change all the bedding in our wards/rooms daily, plus help all our patients with their daily baths and grooming. They stopped helping with the baths and grooming and left that up to family caregivers who come to visit and the linen changing got passed onto orderlies to do now, because it's just too much for the nurses to contend with today, but yet we were expected to be able to do that too, in addition to everything else (that the nurses still do today), at least in the Montreal area hospitals I've had reason to be admitted to since the 80s or that other family members were admitted to since then.
So with that in mind it'll be a miracle if Canada ever does get and keep enough nurses and support staff. The only way that'll happen is if things change drastically as in better working conditions from pay to having the necessary amount of people required to handle the work involved. Don't forget this is life and death to some people, so the people in charge of their care, shouldn't be hurried and harried and just plain rushed or stressed. They should be able to think clearly and reasonably without stress and take the time necessary to do things right and to double check to ascertain that it is right. Without hurriedly hooking things up and then leaving the room because they're needed elsewhere, without ascertaining things are hooked up right and working properly and in the case of things like IVs making a note of the time it started and expected time of ending. Just hooking it up and then taking off to some place else shouldn't be permitted under any circumstances. If a nurse is there to install an IV then they should have to finish ALL of the procedures of doing it BEFORE leaving for any reason at all. Same with all other procedures except maybe things like grooming or feeding patients (but they should return to finish that task the moment they are able to, if they were called elsewhere to help with an emergency or something of the kind). But that's not what happens today. They hurriedly hook things up and run out of the room forgetting to come back at all, because they're so busy they have so many things that needs their attention all at the same time they wind up forgetting some things like that sometimes. That shouldn't happen and wouldn't if there were enough nurses to do all the jobs needing to be done at any one time and stopped laying them off and forcing the few that are there to do multi-tasking like that. Not everyone is a great multi-tasker.
Onions Don't Cure COVID: Ontario students find a way to combat COVID-19 misinformation Okay well this is the first time I'm hearing any idea about onions curing COVID19 either as a suggestion or as misinformation. So someone was stretching the truth a little bit here when they came up with that as an example of misinformation, I think. I think they made it up in order to combat it, if you ask me.
Now before some clown picks this up and treats it as misinformation.... You do get the fact that she's saying that tongue in cheek and that she probably has no clue as to why she beat it, so attributes that as a means of saying she doesn't know why and this is as good a reason as any other? Or are you going to try to combat this "misinformation" too?
Millennial Money: 5 tips to negotiate pay in a tough economy For those who need to find a new job, whenever they can.
Yeah, I don't think so either....
EU Vaccines Speed Up After Stumbling Out of the Gates Took long enough. So now that they have their issues resolved do you think Canada could have some of the vaccines they ordered?
Of course the facility with the biggest outbreak you ignore. Seems to be par for the course when it comes to Canada. Do everything the bassackward way.
Maybe instead of that, there should be more protection for better paying full time jobs then people wouldn't need to run their ashes off trying to do 3 jobs in order to get the salary one decent paying job ought to pay.
British Columbians worst in Canada at following COVID-19 rules all the time, new poll suggests Oh trust me, even the flakes and nuts that makes up the BC population would sit up and take notice and fly straight if they had the gestapo bootied gov't like we have that issued $1,500 just for being maskless or walking outside after 8pm without a dog. They don't have any stringent fines or repercussions like that, so don't care. After all if you can afford to live in a shoebox that costs $5000 a month you can afford the measly little fines BC doles out for non-compliance.
Covid-19 Vaccine Success Won’t Eliminate Virus Risk, U.K. Concludes Not with all the mutations going on it won't that's for sure. We'll probably need boosters to protect us against the most prevalent or worst ones, the way it's going.
Israel adopts law allowing names of unvaccinated to be shared Wow! I don't know if they have a constitution or not, but if not, this would be a perfect reason to adopt one, to protect people's privacy.
This is precisely what I think China had in mind to do if they could've cornered the market on the only treatment against it, when they were fighting with Gilead Sciences over the patent rights for redemsivir.
Coronavirus: 11 test positive on New York rescue flight to Israel Yup some ash holes with sheite for brains thinks they're above the law, just because they're permitted to run around in filthy clothes with dreadlocks hanging out of their hats and then they recoil at the thought of shaking some women's hands because they're "unclean". I'll tell you who's unclean here and it's sure not the women who spend more time washing their hands than those clowns spend in a year washing their whole bodies or their clothes.
And no that's not a hate comment. I have nothing against Jews. Clean ones that wash their clothes, hands and hair once in awhile. But I am disgusted by that holier than thou group who behave like they're better than everyone else but are filthy slobs. Same as I'd recoil from a filthy homeless person on the street no matter their faith, colour or creed. Filth disgusts me, no matter who's the person that's filthy like that. In this day & age there's no need for that.
Old school Airstreams enjoy pandemic-era popularity Motorhomes are super expensive now because of the plandemic and working remotely. So I guess the next best thing are pull behind trailers. I wouldn't mind one of those myself as I know we sure wouldn't be able to afford a motorhome even a used one at this point.
When can I get a COVID-19 vaccine? Ontario's booking system for vaccinations will launch on March 15
This is just total insanity. Considering the QC gov't hopes to be vaccinating the 70-80 year old crowd by then, followed by the 60-70 year olds, shortly after that.
Covid: Oxford vaccine team ‘assessing’ possibility of making pills or nasal spraysThose would be a heck of a lot easier I think. Especially with the pill form, as they'd be able to issue the amount of pills required for full immunity with the time schedule - like take 1st pill today and 2nd one in 2 weeks from now, kind of deal.
See pictures of the White House candlelight ceremony honoring the 500,000 Americans who died in the pandemic Such a somber and sobering occasion.
EU's von der Leyen tells skittish Europeans: 'I'd take AstraZeneca vaccine' I would too. In fact that is the one I'd prefer to take if numbnuts would ever approve of it here in Canada.
60 Year olds by July????? When do you plan on vaccinating the 20-30 year olds then????2,999???? Is that when???
That's good. I would hope that if it was actually a vaccine and not just a vial full of water, it would have that effect, as opposed to doing nothing to help, like if the case were that it's just water.
Alberta’s COVID-19 Vaccine Booking System Is Overwhelmed And People Are Calling 911 That just goes to show how anxious people are to get these jabs.
I guess if Harper were still our PM, he'd include Canada, but not since he's been replaced by Jihadi Justin.
A deadly storm on top of a pandemic devastates vulnerable Texans: 'We've been living in a nightmare' We live in QC where it's typically that cold during the winter months here, but I couldn't imagine how we'd cope either if our electricity went out on us, given that everything in this house uses electricity to work. I know we have a kerosene heater, and some camping equipment and a large propane BBQ (in the garage - which is detached), but that would only be good for a day or two especially with the heater as we don't have much kerosene on hand and even if we did I wouldn't want to use it, having woken up one morning with some kind poisoning, where my chest felt concave and my head about the size of the room. I don't trust it any more, after that.
NDP will not trigger election as long as pandemic continues: Singh Could this clown get any stupider if he tried? I mean seriously, does he NOT realize that he just gave Mr. Dressup numbnuts plenty of incentive to drag this plandemic out as long as possible here in Canada? Like he wasn't trying hard enough already by botching all the vaccine deliveries, now he'll work extra hard at botching everything to do with possibly getting rid of this virus, altogether. Singh is to be commended for being so f'n stupid as to hand bozo brains the keys to the kingdom like he did, because bozo brains is as crooked as they come so even though he's too stupid to possibly do anything right, he's not too stupid to see when a chance to stay in power for as long as he wants has been handed to him. Now he'll get all his best brains in the Lieberal party to come up with ways to thwart our return to normalcy, so that this plandemic drags on for as long as possible.
One-dose J&J COVID-19 vaccine meets criteria as safe and effective, FDA report finds So when can we expect it to be approved here in Canada, I wonder?
COVID-19 cases more than double in federal prisons during second wave of pandemic Yeah & so? Do you expect us to feel sorry for them? Look if they didn't want their lives to be put at risk in prison from say a prison riot, a prison fire or a plandemic for instance, all they had to do was not get put into prison in the first place, by NOT COMMITTING CRIMES TO WIND UP THERE!!!!! So if my heart doesn't bleed for them.
Expanding education through virtual field trips OMG.... This is just totally pathetic that they're only realizing this now in 2021, considering there's been some amazing online sites to visit since the internet came online, from NASA & Smithsonian Institutues museums and Chicago Field Museum and the NY Museum of Fine Art to the Sistine Chapel in Rome and all sorts of places inbetween. I mean those sites were available online back in the mid 1990s and still are. So it's just astonishing how pathetically slow and backwoodsy our educational system is that they're only just discovering this fact now.
World's Largest Snow Maze Now Open For Pandemic Visitors In Manitoba Well at least it'll give some people something to do besides sit at home staring at the same four walls all the time.
Which Trudeau will now want to take advantage of given that Singh just gave him the green light to continue as the wanna-be dictator of Canada as long as the plandemic lasts. So he'll be sure to take advantage of these other strains to try to drag it out for as long as possible, that way he can stay in power for that length of time too.
Quebec to begin vaccinating general population next week By that they mean the general population that's 85 years and over.
The Big O in Montreal is notable alright, but I'm not sure that's the kind of notable we'd want involved in getting a vaccination.... That being that part of the roof might fall in on you any second. Or at least that's what happened back in the late 1990s. Hopefully, it's been fixed since then.
Online booking complicates COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Washington state Apparently they aren't the only ones having that problem. Some provinces in Canada are too.
Nunavut emerges from pandemic year in good financial shape, finance minister says They're maybe one of the only areas of Canada that can say that, as most other areas have gone into massive debt because of the pandemic.
Well of course, now that Singh has given numbnuts a mandate until the plandemic ends, he'll find a way to make sure it never ends, at least not in his lifetime.
Security guard accused of extorting and sexually assaulting woman during quarantine compliance check Why doesn't this surprise me any?
Mass vaccinations not only factor in Canada's reopening timeline: Tam Quoting the text now:
Weighing in on U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s statements that England will move to lift all COVID-19 restrictions by June 21, Dr. Theresa Tam said Canada’s reopening timelines rely on a variety of factors.
She said while vaccinations generally play a "key role," other indicators include "the actual epidemic curve in terms of where it’s moving, the rates of serious outcomes including ICU admissions, hospitalizations and deaths...and you also want the public health capacity for testing, tracing, contact tracing all to be in place."
"You can’t put an absolute date on one of these things, but having everybody get the vaccine is a massive step towards returning to a more normal life," said Tam during a Tuesday press conference.
------- So in other words she wants to set up as many obstacles as possible which are totally irrelevant after we've achieved Herd Immunity either naturally or via vaccinations, to keep us from returning to normal. Why? Did her fellow complicit genocidal maniac aka bozo brains Trudeau tell her to try to find ways to stall our return to normal after bozo brains Singh said he wouldn't force an election during the plandemic???? Is this what this BS is all about here? Because it's awfully funny NO OTHER MOTHER F'N COUNTRY IN THE FREAKING UNIVERSE IS SETTING UP SO MANY CONDITIONS AND ROADBLOCKS ON THE RETURN TO NORMAL!!!!! THE UK ISN'T, THE US ISN'T, ISRAEL ISN'T SO WHY CANADA?????? Why do we need all these extra precautions and measures even AFTER WE'RE ALL VACCINATED??????? What???? Does Canada have some kind of special climate not found anywhere else on earth that would mean that the virus would stick around here longer than everywhere else even forever, EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO INFECT????? I mean what is this TOTAL UNADULTERATED BS ALL ABOUT & WHAT'S IT FOR????????????? I guess that genocidal beitche doesn't know when to quit does she!?! Maybe that's it. Maybe she's afraid if she relinguishes power she'll be hung for crimes against humanity, so she's trying to cling to it for dear life???? Is that it, you lying, negligent, genocidal witch doctor? Is that the reason behind this BS????? It probably is.... If that's the case, I think you need to be dragged out of office RIGHT F'N NOW and placed before a crimes against humanity tribunal NOW!!!!! Before you can F any more people's lives up!
Buttergate: Why are Canadians complaining about hard butter? Believe it or not but this too has something to do with the plandemic.
They should maybe try to make one to address the California variant.
Not in Canada. Not if Tam and bozo brains Mr. Dressup has anything to do with it. I can just see those genocidal maniacs getting samples of those variants and spreading them all over the country and back again to keep it going forever and a year here. Or so we'd be led to believe, but really since they're in charge of the release of the numbers and information they could be making all of it up just to keep us compliant and confused and scared so we wouldn't be looking for their heads on a platter (because that will happen sooner or later when this is all said and done someone is going to have hell to pay for what they let happen here and I'd just as soon see it happen sooner, but later is good too - look how many decades it took to round up some Nazi war criminals and bring them to justice - it may have taken a while but it happened which is what should happen with those ash holes at the helm here in Canada).
Like as if you'll ever get any semblance of the truth out of there.
Wow vaccines have become real bargaining chips, used almost like currency now.
What if you don't own a cellphone but have had your vaccinations? What then? And don't kid yourself, the way the genocidal witch doctor in charge of Canada's Covid response is talking you'll need 35 different vaccinations against all the known variants out there, 3 months of self isolation and 2 months of quarantine plus 3,900 nasal swab tests declaring you don't have the virus before you'll be allowed to travel freely and enjoy freedom in Canada. So don't get so excited about it because in Canada it's not happening - life will never return to normal as long as we have that genocidal crew at the helm and Cdns don't do anything about it, but let them stay there forever and a year and remove our freedoms and dictate our lives the way they are.
Nissan's 'office pod' imagines a new kind of remote working I think Nissan missed the point altogether with this jalopy. The point isn't to go sit in a car and type or on it's roof. The point of remote working is to work in nicer surroundings, like move to a tropical island and still work for the company based in Montreal, or to go on a road trip across the province or the country and be able to live in the vehicle - like a motorhome, camper van, etc... Not a desk on wheels or a lawnchair atop it. That's just plain stupid not to mention ridiculously ugly.
I guess he's on to bigger and better things. But I bet he'll be just as loved and cherished there as he was at his former job.
As the saying goes "all good things come to an end", we knew it was bound to happen. That they weren't going to keep that status forever, that as soon as society went back to normal so would their status.
At private equity-owned nursing homes, an "enormous" increase in death rates, study finds I wouldn't doubt it. I think the same is true here in Canada, as well.
I knew it was only a matter of time before they started considering booster shots.
Traumatized and tired, nurses are quitting due to the pandemic This is in the US now.
THIRD WAVE WOES France and Germany brace for ANOTHER lockdown as Merkel sits on 1.2 MILLION Oxford jabs people refuse to take She could send some of those jabs our way. The Astra Zeneca, J&J, Medicago, and other NON RNA jabs are the only ones I'd consider taking. So if she wanted to unload at least enough for me and my husband and sent them our way, we wouldn't mind because I don't think bozo brains art teacher aka health minister, is smart enough to approve of any other jabs besides the Moderna and Pfizer ones.
I knew there was going to be an announcement about being no end in sight on variants considering there's over 4,000 different ones that they know about out there.
That's not all the headlines I have in my bookmark file, but that's all I'm able to get to, at the moment. Until next time, take care and stay well....
