As I said in a previous post I will be putting this blog into hibernation as soon as I can get caught up on the Covid 19 headlines as of October 31, 2020 (to include those headlines in the blog as well). Because it just goes on and on like the Engerizer Bunny and just never seems to run out of steam. On top of that, there hasn't been much difference in the stories from the beginning of it until now. It's always the same old song, with inflated case numbers (because they never minus those who recuperated from the numbers and so the numbers just continue to grow - that way it looks scarier to the population making it easier to manipulate the population into doing the things they want) and trying to make things look scarier than they are, by giving those numbers instead of the real numbers. As I've pointed out many times before. All the while saying we have to sacrifice our lives (read actual existance or lives as in living and doing things that brings us joy & happiness) all for the sake of the economy, while awaiting this ever elusive vaccine that they keep talking about.
This blog has covered almost every angle and aspect of the disease and it's effects on society and our lives that is out there, I think. So rather than turn it into a redundant, excessively repetitive piece of work, I've decided to put the blog to bed until or unless something major happens in this pandemic and then I'll see where I go from there, depending on what that major something is. If the major something turns out to be that we'll never have a vaccine and that this kind of life is our new normal, I'll probably only post one message on it and that'll be that announcement along with my thoughts on it all. If it gets grimmer and more dire out there (and so far it hasn't), then I'll be back in full swing of things here until that changes. If it's we are finally going to have a vaccine against this virus and all the restrictions and measures will be lifted, I'll keep track of that in here too for those who would like to know what is happening when & where & how (like how when and where to get the vaccines for instance) and things like that until all measures & restrictions have been lifted.
In the meantime though I will still use the blog to make special posts like the long overdue promised post about Bill Gates and his alleged involvement in this whole pandemic deal, along with posts to lighten the mood a bit especially with ideas and info on approaching holidays - the gov't imposed restrictions, and ideas on how to celebrate them anyhow etc....
So with that in mind here's the lovely (being sarcastic here) news that just came out recently in regards to such things as lockdowns & Christmas here in QC & Canada....
You do notice the Nov 23, date right? Well guess what that is.... A convenient date to keep the Christmas shopping season alive here in QC. That gives the Quebecois a whole month to get whatever they plan for Santa to bring them this year under the tree before the Reveillon held on December 24th!
Unlike a lot of people this year especially I suppose, I refuse to cater to the economy that they expect everyone to sacrifice everything for including their lives and so won't be buying a damned thing to go under the tree to anyone. My tree is pretty small anyhow so it won't matter to the tree. In fact the tree will be happy as it won't be buried under presents this year. If I give anything to anyone it'll be something I made, or money or maybe a little of both, but I will not go shopping for anything at all, in the way of gifts. If everyone else did the same, that would send them a message that people aren't here just to make the stupid economic wheels go around that people are here to live and that means more than merely subsist! They want to be able to have a life outside of work and school and enjoy themselves!
As for us old folks, I've heard from more than one person of my age and older that they're tired of this sheite and they just want to live whatever life they might have left and not stay couped up in the house all the time segregated from friends and family like this. We're just tired of it and that includes me. None of us know how many days, months or years we might have left and we want to enjoy whatever life we do have left before we die (from whatever cause that might be). We could just as easily die tomorrow in an accident as we could from the virus but at least if we were in an accident that implies (well in most cases anyhow) that we were going somewhere or coming back from somewhere and not being stuck inside the damned house forever. We could also die in 20 years from now from old old age or from the virus especially if they haven't managed to make a vaccine for it by then. So if that's the case is the government willing to relegate seniors to isolation for the next 20 years or until they find a vaccine? At some point this has to end and not necessarily when we get a vaccine for it because we don't know 100% that we will have a vaccine against it. So, if we never have one, is the gov't going to force seniors to be segregated from friends, family and society for the rest of their lives? And force those who aren't yet seniors to just go to work and school and not have any fun with family or friends after business/school hours? Will society put up with that sheite for that long? Considering this freshly minted story that came out today?: Wave of anti-lockdown protests sweeps across Europe: Thousands of furious demonstrators clash with police in cities in Italy and Spain as they urge their governments to abandon new restrictions on their freedom
In all honesty when I saw a segment about that on the news last night I cheered and clapped. It's about frigging time we started taking our lives and freedoms back from the oppressors, masquerading as a caring "nanny state" gov't. Enough is enough and I think we can basically all agree we've all just about had enough now.
And then THIS news story came out, which of course infuriated me even more: Trudeau says pandemic 'really sucks,' and that Christmas gatherings are up in the air
I'll tell you what really sucks is that we still have that moron at the helm and he and Haggydodo along with Tam the Genocidal trio aren't all behind bars for mass murder yet. That's what sucks. And us having to suffer on account of it. That's what sucks. I wish we could have a big enough vacuum cleaner to show them what sucked, by sucking them up and out of our misery. That would be a sucking good job! (oops dentures must've slipped). 😉
Those were the headlines that came out recently that I wanted to get to right away, before wading into all the other headlines that are backlogged on my bookmark file.
But don't most of those events involve charities in some way or other? Do they suppose those charities will be able to manage without any help until then? I know 2021 is only 2 months away but for those who are hungry that's a long time to wait.
Coronavirus detected in lake water, researchers find. Experts say don't panic. Don't panic eh? What about those towns & cities along those lakes that draws their drinking water from such reservoirs? It sounds to me like another "play down the situation" so the "people don't panic" story.
Virus has Chinese tourists heading for domestic destinations Good! They can stay there as far as I'm concerned!
US Woman Suffers Brain Fluid Leak After Covid-19 Swab Test Punctures Her Internal Lining Someone didn't know what they were doing nor how to do it. Are we sure that the people administering these tests are fully qualified to do them?
I love this all these gov't officials making all these pleas for us to celebrate differently when none of them have any intentions of following their own rules they're laying out for the rest of.
45 farm workers need to be in quarantine but funds for Windsor's isolation centre have run out I thought the Red Cross was a charitable foundation. If that's the case and they've raked in millions of dollars in donations over time, they should be able to fund that without asking for gov't help. Because honestly all I see of the Red Cross is a meager miserly greedy money-grubbing institution that gives out peanuts to those most in need. I know because I saw what they gave a friend of mine who lost everything in an apartment fire (arson - owner of building was responsible, so not her in case you were wondering). They gave her a $60 voucher for clothes for herself at Zellers (this was in 2000), and the same amount for her adult son who was living with her at the time, plus a voucher to a fleabag motel in the region for the 2 of them (to share the same motel room) for 3 days and another voucher for something like $50 of food from Maxi - that was supposed to be for the 2 of them. That's all they gave them! Nothing more. When the voucher for the fleabag motel was exhausted and they hadn't found a place to live yet (as she had no money - it was near the end of the month and her pension cheque hadn't come in yet and the money she paid for rent on her apartment along with all the money for all the utilities for that month was already spent on the apartment that just burnt down and she couldn't get any of that money back and she had no insurance either), the Red Cross said they couldn't and wouldn't be doing anything more for her, that she had to find a place on her own with whatever resources she had. So we wound up taking her in for a little more than a week ( long enough for her to get her next pension cheque and use some of it towards a new apartment) but we couldn't take her son too, so he had to go stay with some friends of his. WE wound up being her Red Cross for her, NOT the actual Red Cross. So it wouldn't hurt the Red Cross to part with some of their precious donations for a change, I don't think because they're sure not very generous nor helpful when it comes to helping people in dire need.
RCMP reverses mask policy for bearded officers Quoting the story here: "Calls for service will be triaged from call centres, with bearded
members being assigned to respond operationally only if the risk of
exposure is low or multiple responding officers will be present," said
the statement from chief human resources officer Gail Johnson. "Each
case will be assessed on an individual basis." ------> And given that no one knows if they have the virus in the beginning during the contagious stages, how are they supposed to determine if risk is low or not? If it only involves vehicles and no people or animals and no people maybe? Otherwise I would think there would be a risk and the risk would increase with each officer assigned.
Staff member at Burnaby long-term care home tests positive for COVID-19, Fraser Health says Annnddd..... On it goes...
They're grappling with the impacts on mental health due to isolation now. I wonder if they can imagine how hard it's been on seniors who've pretty much had to endure isolation for months at a time during this pandemic and not just for a couple of weeks!
Covid-19: Boris Johnson says everybody got 'complacent' over virus Maybe that's because people are waking up and realizing it's nowhere near as dangerous as the authorities would have us believe, because according to this site: Coronavirus COVID 19 Google News & Tracker There's been 43,894,430 cases worldwide with 1,165,432 deaths world wide to date. So it's proven to be way way less lethal than they said it was in the beginning. That means out of every 100 people who get it, about 2 and a half people (though we don't have 1/2 a person) who die from it. Most of those to date have been people with underlying conditions and those over 80 years of age if what they're telling us here in QC is true. So anyone with more than a braincell or two to rub together starts to realize that the authorities are making a big bruhaha out of nothing. The only logical non conspiratorial reason I could see for doing that is to prevent the hospitals from being swamped. That's all. But when you consider most have either no symptoms or very mild to moderate they don't usually require hospitalization anyhow.
Orrr.... In Quebecois terms how it sparked Valerie Plante to go insane installing bike lanes everywhere in Montreal, and closing road traffic to the cars (those who actually pay for the privilege to use the roads via plates, and road taxes on gasoline, versus the bicyclists who don't pay for anything).
Covid: God may punish Nepal for cancelling rites, religious leaders warn I think with this virus God is punishing mankind no matter their nationality.
They actually had a term for that eh? And I thought I was the only suffering from such a thing.
Personally I'm of the opinion all of those floating petri dishes ought to be shut down permanently. If the passengers aren't getting coronavirus onboard it's the norwalk virus or some other freaking virus like the flu virus. In any case, I can't see why anyone would want to spend any time aboard a floating petri dish in middle of the ocean.
Senators ask Trump to end blanket closure of U.S.-Canada border Yeah um, I guess that didn't go so well, did it?
Yup so let's send them to school with a bunch of other super spreaders and then back home to their families so the working members of their families can then catch it and spread it even further themselves. Awesome idea Legault!
Coronavirus infecting majority of bad dreams: Many having social distancing nightmares Me, I'm just having super weird and vivid dreams is all. I guess I should be thankful they're not nightmares like others are having.
Hmmm.... But will they realize they recovered? Statins mess with memory so sometimes those on statins think they're developing alzheimers or dementia, when in reality all it is, is the medication that's affecting their memory. Not too many patients are aware of that side effect of statins.
Now for a musical interlude by Van Morrison protesting the lockdowns etc....:
First COVID-19 vaccine submitted to Health Canada for approval Well we might have some hope after all.
Like that will happen....
What you can and can't do under Quebec's COVID-19 red alert status Basically you can breathe, eat, sleep, drink, use the washroom and go to work or school, the rest is forbidden.
It sounds like the US' VP Pence had a better idea on how to control a contagion than the CDC did. I wonder how many gazillions of deaths they'd have had up to now if the CDC were allowed to get their way? So Pence probably saved lives, which I know is a hard pill for the Democrats to swallow and admit. So in other words the CDC was negligent at doing their job ON PURPOSE folks!!!! Think about that for awhile and while you're at it, start wondering why especially considering this is what CDC stands for: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So how are they controlling and/or preventing anything if they just stand by and let it into the country? To me, everything I've seen and heard to do with them and this pandemic adds up to criminal negligence. Not just casual everyday forgetfulness or ineptness. No it seems like it was calculated, orchestrated and willful, like it was planned, to let as much of the virus into the country as they could and then write off every death after it was discovered as being COVID to magnify the numbers to cause people to be alarmed and afraid. This was orchestrated by the CDC & someone else in the US - military? or other branch of government as some kind of operation to cause all kinds of problems with the people, economy and you name it. I'm positive.
A second wave of COVID-19 has hit Toronto, but here's why the first wave never ended in some neighbourhoods Officials are delusional if they think there's a 2nd wave anywhere in this country outside the Atlantic Bubble. That's the only place in Canada where the numbers were down sufficiently to say the 1st wave was basically over with. But nowhere else in Canada were the numbers that low, so we never got out of the 1st wave, let alone into a 2nd wave!
I'm not saying the inequality is good, what I'm saying is good that people have phones that can't use that tracking technology or they don't have cellphones at all. The less tracking for whatever reason, is best. We don't need to be and shouldn't be so willing to be tracked by the governments either. Every little bit of freedom you give now, is gone forever, you'll never get it back again. So if you allow them to track you now during the pandemic what's stopping them from doing it in the future? Only in the future they may not rely on that blatant in your face app, they may have had that app modify another commonly found app on your phone to do the tracking for them.
Oh what's new!?!
Cruise Ships Stripped for Scrap in Turkey as Tourism Comes to a Standstill Amid the Pandemic Good. Recycle & reuse.
Five reasons everyone is talking about the 'South Park' pandemic special I don't know if it's aired yet or not, but if not, whenever it comes on I'd like to see it, if I get the chance.
As Quebec surpasses 1,000 new cases, government expected to shut down sports They've shut down everything except breathing, work & school.
No mask, no child custody. COVID-19 is a new factor in family law. The parent that wears the mask could be a cruel tyrant that beats the kids black and blue, but they wear a mask so they get custody of the kids. How stupid has the world gotten on account of this virus anyhow?
Gov. has no authority to continue state of emergency, Michigan Supreme Court rules I WISH someone would challenge our authoritarian governments (especially the QC government) in a court of law over the legality of their obvious abuses of power and authority and imposed state of emergency. And I would hope for the same ruling that this case got in the US.
Anyhow on that weird and wacky note, I'll end tonight's endeavour to get as many headlines posted as I can. Until next time take care & stay well.
