Change of Season, Change of Pace, Change of Mood, But No Changes With...

 Covid19

October 2, 2021

Autumn is officially underway here in QC, with the colder temperatures and the leaves starting to change colours. Not quite as much as in the picture above, but they're starting.  You definitely know it's autumn out there and not springtime. 

So that means we're going to be busier than usual trying to hustle to get things done before winter.  There always seems to be too much to do all at the same time or nothing at all. Like that song goes "it never rains in California, but man it pours".  On top of that things keep adding to the list of things we have to do. Unforeseen things, like little problems cropping up with the car, that needs attending to, that weren't occurring before when we had the time to take care of it. A computer breakdown (my husband's computer broke down a couple of days after he got it back) so now he's scrambling to find parts amongst some of the older computer parts he had lying around - like drives, fans, RAM, cases, video cards etc in order to build another one for himself. 
 
On top of that there's harvest time (no we don't have a garden but we do take advantage of the specials to be had at this time of year garden or not, so I can find a way to preserve the stuff to have during the year) and we've got a bunch of veggies for me to take care of, on top of the various meats we want to get before the specials are over with, that he'll have to butcher into the cuts we want and package to freeze.  Especially considering all the scaremongering stories I've seen about the cost of food lately. So when we find food at reasonable or sale prices we buy in quantity so that we can have those foods over the course of time, by blanching & freezing or butchering & freezing in meal sized packages for us.  That way when there's huge hams on special we don't have to decline the special. We just buy it and butcher it into a large portion to treat as you would a ham for special occasions and ham steaks and small chunks with the rest of it. Packaged in meal sized portions for the 2 of us. That way we have our ham for whatever special occasion we want it for plus small ham chunks for pea soup or scalloped potatoes throughout the year along with the occasional ham steak. With no waste and no need to gorge ourselves on ham forever and a year after bringing it home and cooking it. We currently have a large pork roast waiting to be butchered into strips and cubes and we plan on getting a chuck roast that's on special to make into various beef cuts like steaks, cubes, strips, a roast and ground beef. That should take care of the meat for a while. Except the turkey that we still need to find and buy for Thanksgiving which is a week from this Monday.
 
But first we have to defrost the freezer and also accommodate real estate brokers who want to show the place. 
 
Oh and not to mention that next weekend is our Thanksgiving holiday here, so that means I also have a pie or two to make as well.  
 
Right now I'm taking a little break before going to make a loaf of bread (while the yeast comes to room temperature). Maybe after I finish doing that, I'll have more time to blog and post some headlines here. As they used to  say in chatroom parlance BRB.....
 
Anywho.... I'm back now.... So on with the headlines... There's tons of them still that must be older than Methusela  and a ton of more current ones, I'll try to get to as much as I can and maybe skip over some of the older ones that seems to be repeats of other stories - like how bad it is in Alberta & Sask. We are perhaps well aware of that by now so unless there's a story there that accentuates the situation or adds an entirely new wrinkle to it or it's a newer more current story about it, I won't post it. That ought to cut down on a few stories but not diminish the picture of the true scope of this neverending nightmare called the Covid19 plandemic.  So think of this as an abridged version of the headlines this time around, just so I can manage to catch up to the current headlines to a degree. 
 
Otherwise I'll always be way behind. So those stories I think we already all know about up until recently, I'll just skip over. I realize that because of this blog and hunting the headlines for it, I probably know things a lot of others don't and may think that it's pretty much common knowledge by now and so skip it, when others have no clue about it. So I apologize for that in advance, but I really have to draw the line somewhere if I'm going to get current again, or just quit doing this altogether. And trust me that thought has crossed my mind more than a few times too and there have been several days lately where it's more and more tempting considering the fact that this virus never lets up and I just don't see myself doing this for the rest of my life and will quit at some point or another if the virus doesn't first. And on top of that we're super busy these days with all the stuff we have to do around here, so I don't know how much time I can spare towards this anyhow.

So now on with it....

 
 
 
 
Quebec judge rules boy, 12, can get COVID-19 vaccine despite father’s objections Really, honestly and truly I do not see how judges, prosecutors or even defense lawyers can make any determinations on anything to do with health as that's not their specialty. And  when it's something as detrimental as someone's life or health at stake I don't think anyone who doesn't hold a license to practice medicine should be making any binding pronouncements on that at all. And even doctors who do have a license to practice medicine can be and are wrong at times. No one's perfect. That's the reason you're told to seek at least 3 different medical opinions when given a serious diagnosis or prognosis. That way you can see if any other doctors agree with the original one, or if there's 2 out of those 3 that tends to agree with each other while the other one appears to have a totally other opinion from everyone else's. Unless the judge heard from at least 3 different doctors on this subject - without having those who've been censured by their professional collective for speaking out against the mainstream consensus being excluded from giving their medical opinion (because it's just as valid as the others who genuinely believe the lamestream narrative on this BS plandemic we're going through). 


More than 500,000 U.S. children tested positive for COVID-19 in 3 weeks And we were told that kids couldn't get the virus eh? hehehe.... Anyone who thought or believed that had sheite for brains. I mean when they were saying that it was kids who were spreading it to adults, it had to be obvious that for them to be able to spread it, they had it, but they were asymptomatic. I mean duh.... How stupid do you have to be to not understand that? I mean just look at my sidebar here with all the things to do with kids - one of which is covid symptoms in kids. If they weren't supposed to get it,  how come they had symptoms?

 

 
Employers can demand workers be vaccinated against COVID-19: Quebec premier  Is this just a pronouncement by his royal lowness Legault or is this an actual law? Just wondering....

Canada suffers shock economic contraction, casting shadow over recovery According to a story in the Guardian today they say the world supply crisis could blow the entire world's economy off course and not just here in Canada.

'Vaccine snob' travelers flock to Guam for sun, sea and shots This should've been named "Vaccine Idiots", considering that anyone who would go out of their way to get that shot have to be idiots, since all immunity provided by the Pfizer shot is completely GONE IN 7 MONTHS. So anyone who think's they're getting the best shot on the planet is sorely mistaken. At this point I'm laying odds of 100 to 1 that basically ALL OTHER VACCINES ON THE PLANET ARE BETTER THAN THE FAUCI & GATES SALINE SOLUTION THEY'RE TRYING TO PASS OFF AS A VACCINE. I'm sorry but after all the stories and headlines I've seen to do with that shot, I have no use for it and I can't understand for the life of me WHY the FDA gave it full approval or approved it for use in kids under 12. Someone at the FDA must've gotten their palms greased by Fauci & Gates that's for sure.
 
With no tourist handouts, hungry Bali monkeys raid homes The plandemic is even hurting the Bali monkey's economy.

 
 
America's in a COVID funk As far as I'm concerned the whole handwashing and walking a half a mile apart from each other was nothing but a bunch of over the top BS. Wearing a mask (since it is a respiratory infection first - meaning you inhale droplets containing the virus that sets off the infection in your lungs and the rest of your system) was the only part of that over the top BS I adhered to. Still do, except in the stores where they have those hand sanitizers or sinks with someone watching to make sure you do as they say. Otherwise I don't bother. I used to carry hand sanitizer around with me and used it after I touched everything. Then one day I didn't but I had to stick my fingers in my mouth because of a hair in my mouth. I tasted the stupid sanitizer I'd used from the store on my fingers and it was awful. I got the hair out of my mouth, reapplied my mask and that was it. No worse for the wear. Despite having gone through the entire store, picked things up off the shelves that others obviously handled before me - like the stockboy for instance and probably other store employees and patrons as well, left the store - touching the very handles everyone else before me touched on their way out without sanitizing their hands before leaving the store (as there's no hand sanitizers available on the way out, only on the way in), no worse for the wear. I didn't get sick or even get a sore throat. 
 
Since that incident, I haven't been so paranoid about things and wear a mask because it is a respiratory illness and from what I've read about the break through infections - it's because the RNA based vaccines generate an over the top response to fight the virus off, kind of akin to using a sledge hammer when a mere tap of the hand would do, to kill it. So that's why vaccinated people are getting sick with it. It's not the "with it" part that's making them sick, it's the immune response their bodies mounted to combat it, that's making them sick, as per this magazine here: What Doctors Don't Tell You Australia/NZ - October 2021  You'd be doing yourselves a huge favour if you download and read all the Covid related articles in there. Just download it from the longfiles link - it's in PDF format, so if you have the Adobe PDF reader you'll be able to read it.

While we're on the subject of doctors and what they do or don't tell you, you might want to check out what the Doctors for COVID Ethics has to say about all of this. Remember these are doctors and not accountants masquerading as health ministers or self-appointed know it alls like courtroom judges or lamestream media government mouthpieces masquerading as journalists. They are actual doctors who may also be taking professional risks for coming out and joining that organization to promote the truth about this disease. 
 
 
 
 
Doctors dismayed by patients who fear coronavirus vaccines, but clamor for unproven ivermectin they're dismayed by patients who fear vaccines but clamor for unproven ivermectin eh? Well I'll tell you something there folks, ivermectin has been used to treat people and is infact being studied by the NIH (a US government agency) as a COVID 19 treatment. The link to that site's page is right here folks: NIH logo COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines And the vaccines they want us to take aren't any more proven (even less so, I think in some cases especially the RNA based vaccines) than that medicine. So they're against you taken something that's unproven but yet telling you to take unproven vaccines. Does that make any sense to anyone out there? Because it doesn't make sense to me. If you don't want someone taking something not proven, then don't force them to take those stupid vaccines because they're not proven and in fact the world's population has now become the guinea pigs for those vaccines. Which are proving not to be reliable and in a lot of cases downright harmful or deadly.
 
 
 
 
Hundreds of Florida parents lined up at a chiropractor's office after he signed mask-exemption forms for students No wonder QC regarded chiropractors as being nothing but quacks, up until the late 70s or early 80s.


Canada election 2021: Votes the country could be missing because of the COVID-19 pandemic So just imagine how much differently things could've turned out, if we had those votes on election night, instead of a repeat of the last election we might've had a different outcome this time around.

Canada's 'window of opportunity' to stop COVID-19 cases reaching 15,000 daily is 'narrowing,' top doctor says You mean Canada's top witch doctor or genocidal maniac, don't you? She probably wishes it were that number or higher. 
 
U.S. heads into Labor Day with Covid vaccines but a substantially worse outbreak than this time last year A lot of that may have had to do with widespread lockdowns and restrictions and more precautions on the part of the public than they are displaying these days thanks in large part to the vaccines. They may believe that because most people or they themselves are vaccinated that it's safer out there for them and so they aren't taking nearly as many precautions as they were this time last year. 

Coronavirus can spread among vaccinated people, so officials urge cautious Labor Day As I've been saying for awhile now..... And that What Doctors Don't Tell You (link above) says as well, along with an explanation as to why.
 
Why cloth masks are on some airlines’ no-fly lists  After everyone went overboard trying to make and sell them. 


Australia Traded Away Too Much Liberty According to the headline directly above this one, you could say this headline is an understatement.

'Your life in Alberta is only worth $100': Canadians furious after Alberta's promise to pay unvaccinated residents to take the shot You might remember Biden also tried this in the US and it didn't work any better for him than it did for Kenney. I guess only those who are so desperately poor that $100 actually looks like a lot of money, went for this, both in Alberta and the US.


Researchers Infect Volunteers With Coronavirus, Hoping to Conquer Covid-19  I hope none of those volunteers die on account of volunteering for this.

 

Doctor says gunshot victims forced to wait for treatment as Oklahoma hospitals overwhelmed by coronavirus patients Well if they didn't have so many guns that everyone & their dog had one to play with and fire at each other or accidentally at themselves, there wouldn't be that problem, instead the place of urgency taken up by trigger happy idiots would instead be taken up by people suffering heart attacks and strokes or car accident victims.  You know.... REAL emergencies.
 
 
Protesters against COVID-19 vaccine mandates say they're pro-freedom, 'not anti-vax' Even though I was a nurse & also got the vaccine, I too am pro freedom and not against the vaccine. I think since this is an experimental method of making vaccines and we don't know what it will do to us in the long run and since it doesn't seem to be preventing people from catching the virus, anyhow, I think it should be up to each individual as to whether or not they wish to get it or not. And not have it forced on us.

 


 
 
 
 

Florida Will Issue $5,000 Fines to Businesses and Schools That Require Proof of Vaccination Here it's completely the opposite. Those businesses who don't require proof of vaccination, can get fined $6,000.00.

Albertans fully vaccinated for COVID-19 urged to stay cautious during pandemic's 4th wave As we all should considering what kind of reactions our vaccines can cause us to have when we encounter the virus. 

Florida doctor to refuse in-person treatment for unvaccinated patients She sounds an awful lot like our doctor, except our doctor refuses in person treatment of everyone regardless of vaccination status.

 

 
Former UK PM Blair warns West should prepare for bio-terrorism threat  Gawd this one is a daft slow learner isn't he? What's he think this COVID19 BS is all about? That it just evolved naturally in a lab without any help from humans and managed to escape that lab without any help either? Especially since the Chinese thought they were going to have the world wide patent rights to Redemsivir which at the time was the only known antidote to this disease? Which would allow China to dictate the conditions and terms that would allow each country to acquire some/enough for their citizens. I mean how dumb is that clown? Must be pretty dumb considering all the pyres he dictated to burn livestock in England as a means of a "sacrifice" because he and Baby Bush wanted to start a war in Iraq. He used the then spreading hoof and mouth disease as an excuse for those pyres. But livestock suffering from hoof and mouth generally recover on their own and poses absolutely no threat to humans. Maybe he inhaled too many of those fumes and it affected his brain in the long run. Anyhow Blair wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, nor was Baby Bush and the 2 of them together were like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb. It was a toss up sometimes figuring out which one was Tweedle Dumb.
 
 
 
 
B.C. doctors debunk misinformation spread at 'health freedom' protests Is it really misinformation though and not just information that they don't want you to know about?

 

 

Eric Clapton mocked over new anti-lockdown anthem Well just look at who's doing the mocking the gullible snowflake sheeple of the millennial generation.

Protesters throw gravel at Trudeau; Liberal leader won't bow to 'anti-vaxxer mobs' Euuuu by the looks of things some Canadians have had way more than enough both of this plandemic and that nitwit.

 

 

Quebec health minister pens open letter as COVID 19 cases rise Like as if this pencil necked idiotic accountant knows anything at all about medicine.....

Daunting debt: What the pandemic public spending spree will mean for Canada’s post-COVID economy I'll sum it up truthfully, unlike this article.... We'll be taken over by the IMF and Bank of International Settlements for monies owed. That's what'll happen.  Which will make Paul Martin's belt tightening exercises in the 90s look more like Christmas morning rather than just merely a picnic.

 
How many double-jabbed people are dying from COVID? Keep in mind those people didn't have to die at all if they were only given real vaccines and not placebos masquerading as one.

 
Canada's "Crucial moment": new modelling reaffirms Delta's dangerous surge So that's precisely the moment you throw open the borders to most of the rest of the world, just incase we were running low on cases. I mean how'll that look to everyone else if we don't have any cases, but they're running rampant with them?

 

U.S. travel advisory for Canada ‘is bonkers’ Yup! Seriously bonkers considering our vaccination rates compared to theirs!

Denmark bans unvaccinated US tourists following latest EU guidance All international travellers everywhere should be banned from travelling internationally if they aren't fully vaccinated. If they don't have the required vaccines they shouldn't be allowed to leave their country to go to another period.

 

Chile authorizes Sinovac vaccine for kids of 6 and older I hope for their sake that vaccine works better than Pfizer's with less side effects and longer efficacy ratings.

UPDATE 1-Moderna seeks EU authorization for COVID-19 vaccine booster dose Why? Is one even needed? Because from all the news reports and data I've seen, it's doubtful that one would even be needed.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Says Moderna May Not Be Ready for Biden's Proposed Sept. 20 Booster Rollout I'm sure he hoped it wasn't and was probably ready to do everything in his power to ensure that it wasn't too, considering it's the rival vaccine to his much vaunted and highly invested in Pfizer vaccine.

 
COVID-19 boosters are coming but who will get them and when?  I know I won't be getting a booster no matter what, as I had a rough enough time with my 2nd dose. So won't be going through that again.

 
 
 
 
 
Vietnam court sentences man to 5 years in jail for spreading COVID-19 If we had laws like that here, everyone but everyone who tested positive would be sure to stay home and isolate.

New Details Emerge About Coronavirus Research at Chinese Lab If you follow all the links in this article you'll be able to get pdf versions of a lot of the documents referenced and be taken to linked stories about the whole affair. Which apparently points the finger at the NIH for helping fund the research into creating that virus in the Wuhan Labs. Or so I'm taken to believe by the amount I read of the articles (they're long with lots of additional materials and so haven't read them all). So if that's the case, the US & China are jointly to blame here. Well even if the NIH weren't involved, Gilead Sciences was and it's an American company. So no matter how you slice it, the Americans and Chinese were in cahoots together on this. Guess their little genie got out of the bottle and not only did harm to other areas of the world, but their own too! That's what you call karma biting you in the ash. And from what I can tell Fauci is shown to be the liar that I thought he was here when he denied the NIH funded anything to do with the research on this virus in Wuhan. Given his and Gates salivating over the money to be made on vaccines against a global pandemic (such as this one) and all the other too convenient happenings and forums on everything to merely be coincidental, I'd say he probably 100% KNEW and probably even was behind the NIH funding on this project.

U.K. Is Among First Western Nations to Increase Taxes to Cover Covid-19 Costs I don't even want to try to imagine what kind of nightmare our tax situation will look like once this plandemic is over and done with. 

Rutgers bars unvaccinated student from attending virtual classes From attending VIRTUAL CLASSES eh? Isn't that just a little over the top in the dictatorship territory there Rutgers? It's not as if you're one of the elite universities out there, either. 

Newspaper headlines: PM's social care gamble and highest tax since war Which war? The Afghan war? If so that wasn't so long ago.... Or maybe the Iraq war? Didn't the hoof & mouth disease pyres cover the cost of that one? Oh.... Maybe the Falklands war, guess the coal miners strike that occurred then didn't help with the cost of that one either? Oh but the GST was introduced around then, so that must've helped gouge a few eyeballs out to cover that war. Otherwise which war are you talking about? The one where Canadians were conscripted to go fight on your behalves? That one or the one before it where they were also conscripted? It's not like Britain hasn't been involved in any wars in the last century or so, so it would help to clarify which war you're talking about there dear journalist.

 

Northern Peninsula COVID cluster grows as N.L. reports 9 new cases 9 Cases is a lot in the tiny little towns and villages in the Northern Peninsula, as St. Anthony's the biggest little town has only a population of 2100 or so souls. All other places are much smaller than that in size on that peninsula. So it's a good chance that everyone in those areas knows everyone else, including all the infected. So that means the whole area could wind up with it, if they aren't careful.

 
Canada has opened up its borders to fully vaccinated foreign travellers. Are there risks? Of course there are risks. Risks of people showing up with fake vaccine passports (that we can't prove as we aren't aware of what the official ones from those regions look like) or the vaccine that they had was little better than water at preventing an infection, or it's worn off already, or even though they are vaccinated they're still carrying and spreading the virus (which has been happening A LOT LATELY). 

 
No jab, no pay: Quebec gives health-care workers deadline to get fully vaccinated My daughter-in-law has finally decided to get her vaccine, she had the first dose a couple of weeks ago. Now that the QC gov't introduced that one time bonus for nurses, I guess since she's getting her vaccinations she'll be eligible for that bonus as well. And I know they'll be able to put it to good use once she gets it too.

 

 
Vaccine passports coming, Furey says, as N.L. reports 5 new cases So essentially all of Canada will be using those passports. Now if they could unify & standardize them, so they all look the same and convey the same information from one province to another it would make it that much easier for us Cdns to travel between provinces.

Vaccine now required for hospital visitors and all health workers Oh goody for us, we'll be able to visit each other when one of us goes to the hospital. Yay!

 
WHO chief wants rich countries to halt booster shots for remainder of 2021 Well unless your vaccine was Pfizer you may not need a booster before then anyhow, as all the other vaccines seem to be better than Pfizer.

COVID-19-positive person attends Cornwall, Ont. anti-vaccine protest: health unit Were they aware they were positive at the time they attended the protest?

 
 
 
European Countries Are Banning US Travelers. Here’s What You Need to Know And if Canada weren't being run by such a pack of clueless idiots as we are, we'd be following suit and banning the Americans from crossing our borders too.

 

 
Porter and Air Canada Rouge return to the skies months after COVID-19 groundings Yup that's all this earth needs is for the 250,000 flights daily around the globe to resume like as if it was business as per usual. Too bad they couldn't stay grounded and let everyone telecommute to work like they were doing the whole plandemic long. 

 

Ontarians can download a PDF copy of their COVID-19 vaccination record There's a live link  here to the place where you can do that, if you need to.

 

Coronavirus: Hongkongers stranded overseas still face several hurdles to return, including flights, hotel rooms, and confusion over entry documents They must be taking lessons from Canada on how to screw up everyone's lives, except of course the Americans, who are being let into Canada with no problem.

 
 
Croatia & Austria Among First Countries to Set a Maximum Validity Period of COVID-19 Vaccination Certificates Oh I'm sure if authorities here in Canada see this and figure out ways to exploit such measures - like maybe make it a renewable passport but with exigences on getting the renewal - like say needing booster shots or flu shots in order to do so, other wise you're back to square one with none.

 

 

Worries over economic recovery shake world stocks, dollar pares gains There's a whole boondoggle of problems associated with the recovery, from lack of workers and low wages, to unaffordable wage demands, to shortages of everything from the raw materials to vital components to make certain things and then there's the sky high prices of the things that are available - maybe in scarcity, but still available for a certain price. And the people betting on the stock markets and futures markets, along with monetary policies the world over. Not to mention the regular people who will lose whatever income support they had and thus may be defaulting on their loans and mortgages and now talk of negative interest rates, where you pay the bank to keep your money instead of them paying you for letting them use your money to lend to make more money with. And an introduction of a digital currency which by the looks of things in El Salvador is going over like a lead balloon. It's on account of all those things occurring at the same time, that is going to cause mega problems, I'm sure.

 

Monster risk: Fauci says COVID cases 10x too high If you ask me, the Monster Risk in this picture is Fauci himself.

 
When Was the First U.S. Covid Death? C.D.C. Investigates 4 Early Cases Wondering if the cases here jive with earlier reports on this very subject, which I'm sure were posted in this blog too? 

Four factors that increase the risk of vaccinated people getting COVID For the full picture on why they get the virus, download and read that magazine What Doctors Don't Tell You linked above and read that.

 

 
Breakthrough COVID-19 deaths are happening in Saskatchewan, so what does it all mean?  It means the vaccines aren't working. That's what it means in a nutshell.

 
Moderna, Novavax developing combined COVID-19, flu shots That's one way to get people who are resisting one type of vaccine but want the other to get both by foisting them off on them as one shot that's inseparable.

Treating COVID-19 patients in intensive care costs at least $50,000: report I guess then it's a good thing we all have medicare and it covers it for us. Otherwise we'd be a nation full of bankrupt covid survivors or dead. 

 

 
Days into Alberta’s $100 COVID-19 vaccine incentive, experts say initiative is futile, insignificant Like I said it's probably only the extremely poor people who would be enticed by this, so of course it didn't make much of an impact.

 
Are you feeling re-entry anxiety? Here’s how to ease back into the social world  Sometimes I think journalists make up causes to write about. Things that aren't actually a problem for anyone anywhere they'll pretend like they are and write about it, as if their imaginings are based on real world cases. And I think this is one of them. I can't seriously see any normal sane people having a problem getting back out there in society. Only those who are agoraphobic normally might have a problem like that or those who are normally recluses anyhow, but otherwise most normal, people shouldn't have such a problem. 

Microsoft return to U.S. offices delayed indefinitely Awww what's wrong? Doesn't Microsoft have enough confidence in Bill Gates' Pfizer vaccine to protect them against the virus? How come? 

Poll: 80% Oppose Tax Hikes Coming Out of Pandemic Sure why not? Just keep hitting the population while they're down! What clown thought it would be a good idea for a tax hike then? Especially considering a lot of people are out of work and can barely afford things as they are!
 
For now, that's it. Until next time take care and stay well. Maybe I'll make it a little closer to catching up then.

Keeping Cool While Covering,

More Coronavirus Headlines

June 18, 2020

Staying inside to keep cool, during this heatwave, I made some yogurt and a strawberry sauce to go on the upcoming birthday cheesecake I intend to make and  read and as a result collected a lot more Coronavirus headlines which will be posted here. Instead of Coronavirus they should rename it to Cornucopiavirus, as it just keeps right on giving just like a cornucopia would if it dished out never-ending viruses instead of food.

As there's a lot to cover, I might as well get started, so I can maybe, hopefully, catch up on it all someday soon.

Plexiglass sales soar as companies seek ways to protect employees And that stuff isn't cheap, though you'd think it would be given it's flimsiness. 



China warns "very high" risk of new Beijing coronavirus cluster spreading  It just doesn't seem to want to quit, that's for sure. But if there's any truth to it coming from the Wuhan Labs, then maybe this is karmic justice playing out here.

Cash-strapped renters face eviction despite coronavirus moratoriums I'm pretty sure this is true wherever there's been renters who were given a break because of the virus but the break has expired or will expire eventually.

40% of black-owned businesses not expected to survive coronavirus Okay why is that? I'm sure people don't always know who the owners of all the businesses they patronize are. I know I don't. For all I know many of the businesses I frequent could be owned by little green men from Mars. I patronize businesses for their products they offer and the prices they're offered at and not because of who does or doesn't own them. I'm sure a lot of other people are the same as me. So if that's the case, isn't this a rather racist conclusion to make? I mean why would more of their businesses fail than anyone else's during this pandemic, otherwise? 


Walmart looks to remove all cashiers from stores  This is one of the lamest excuses I've ever heard about a company wanting to automate their business, to cut down on salaries and costs in order to save money. They're using the pandemic as an excuse to cut down on workers and use automated self-check out counters. Like I said about other stores who tried that in our area. If you want me to do the work of your employees, I expect to be paid like one for doing it. I'm not doing work you'd other wise have to pay someone else to do, for free. You want me to do it, then I want to be paid for it and not just 12 cents off a jug of bleach and 5 cents off a box of Kraft Dinner. I mean real money. If it takes me 1/2 hour to check my groceries through and then package them myself, I want what was otherwise 1/2 hour's worth of your cashier's wages either paid to me directly or deducted from my tally. That's the way I feel about being forced to do all this free work for companies. 

Fed moves to ensure companies can tap bond market for funds  If this isn't a sneaky way of the gov't moving in and taking over companies to nationalize them I don't know what is. Sure they're making it look like a pandemic rescue, but is it? I mean was the purpose of the lockdowns really something like this all along? Where they'd propose a rescue plan where they'd buy company bonds as a means of providing financial support to the company when it wanted to reopen? And then using the bond ownership as leverage into buying/owning more of the company until they feel they can just outright seize it and declare it belonging to the nation rather than the owners/shareholders? I wouldn't dismiss this idea outright as being outlandish and crazy, because this pandemic has seen a lot of that happen so far and just because 3 months ago it would've been deemed impossible and that someone would need some heavy duty brass balls, to be so emboldened to try to pull much of what has been pulled off, has been pulled off.  Just read back in this blog to see the audacity of some of the stuff pulled and the excuses for it.


Norway ends virus tracing app over privacy concerns  Yup and Trudeau wants to implement one here in Canada. Trying to ensure us that there's nothing to be worried about in regards to using it. Except that his track record at being honest is less than stellar, so I think I'll just take a pass on it, because I trust him as far as I can throw him and that's not far, believe me.

Tech Firms Are Spying on You. In a Pandemic, Governments Say That’s OK.  I'm sure the Canadian government thinks it's okay too. They're probably asking the tech firms for the data they have on the Canadians they're spying on.

China halts European salmon imports over suspected link to virus outbreak After all the assurances we've been given about the safety of our food in relation to the pandemic, and then China is claiming this? Wow! Who do we trust? Our officials that say not to worry about food that it's not transmissible via food or the Chinese who are claiming this?  I'm glad I have a garden, though it doesn't look like much is growing except lettuce and herbs. Hopefully, more will start growing soon.


Cineplex plans to reopen cinemas, while shares suffer over failed Cineworld deal  Personally, I'm not a big fan of movie theatres. I find the seats uncomfortable, the positions you have to sit in order to see the screen uncomfortable (like either looking up with your head tilted back, or between 2 tall people in the room in front of you, etc...). Without any intermissions anymore, so if you want something at the concession stands or have to use the washroom you miss half the movie, and so on. I'd much rather watch things at home. We have more than enough choice now with Netflix, cable, Crave, HBO etc that there's always something to see whenever we want and we can pause for all the bathroom breaks or the make popcorn breaks or whatever and not miss a thing, without getting a sore neck from head position to watch it or headaches from the excessively loud volume. And we can sit way more comfortably too. That's the way I always felt about them. Back in the days of the VCR we used to wait for the movies we  wanted to see to come out on videotape and then go rent them and have friends over for a dinner and a movie together. They reciprocated in kind the next week and so on. It was fun. Much more fun than  going to theatres even then too.



Coronavirus death rate is higher for those with chronic ills  I would've thought this would've been understood by now. 



Two entrepreneurs share what it's like to start a business in the midst of a global pandemic  Well who can resist and ice cream cone anyhow? I know one of the first things my husband and I wanted when things started to reopen around here, was an ice cream cone from our local ice cream parlour. We were sad to see the man that used to own it, was no longer there and someone else owned it now. But she was nice too, though more expensive than the man's prices were. 

Urban planners and bike shops say pandemic could shift the culture of cycling  If Valerie Plante in Montreal has her way, I'm sure she'd be vying for everyone using bikes and dragging groceries for a family of four home on them or taking their infants to their doctors appointments on one and just do away with cars altogether. She thinks because she and her family are all able-bodied and able to ride bicycles that everyone else is too, including the 92 year olds that need walkers to get around and the 6 month olds that can't walk yet and those who just bought a TV (not everyone wants to pay $50 delivery fees for something they could carry and fit in their car and take themselves)  or other large item like that, should all theoretically be able to use their bikes for all those things. But let's be realistic eh? If you want to do away with gas burning vehicles but still be able to take your family with you, or pick up large items or many items (like several bags of groceries that a family of 4 would need for a week) then we either need electric cars, solar powered cars, hydrogen cars, or the good old horse & buggy (but she outlawed those in Montreal too). Bikes won't cut it.

Statistics Canada says manufacturing sales posted record plunge in April  Geez, that's weird, I wonder why.... Oh yeah, now I remember. Everyone was told to stay home and not go to work. Is that possibly why?

Thousands of Quebecers begin training to become CHSLD orderlies  And this is the newest news on that subject: Potential Orderlies Unsure of Career Path  So typical of governments to either outright lie, or leave out the important part of the information when they're busy trying to get people to sign up to certain things because they need them or their cooperation as soon as possible. They always conveniently forget to mention certain things that would make a lot of difference in whether people signed up to help in their efforts to get enough people going along with them. This is just another typical example of that. I knew what he was offering was a carrot that either wouldn't last long or was just simply too good to be true for those who'd apply, because LPN nurses don't make that much, that he was willing to give and a nursing course takes longer than the 3 months that course given to train those orderlies takes.



How the pandemic is impacting conservation efforts Another angle on the effects this virus is having. 

Golf Canada cancels national amateur championships for 2020 season  True I don't play golf nor even know that much about it, but geez I can't see why that would be cancelled, considering most people are miles away from the others on the golf course at any given time and no one is crowding anyone or anything there.

Long-term care workers were already overloaded. Then the pandemic came  Not just long term care workers. Nurses in hospitals in Quebec were overloaded before pandemic came, years before and still are.



Tourists can travel to the Bahamas by air and sea, if proven negative for coronavirus How can they trust that though? The person could be negative, but if they are harbouring the virus during the 14 day incubation period, they may be negative today but positive in a day or few days from now. 

Pandemic has spurred Montrealers' interest in country homes, agents say  Well if they can now work from home and don't have to worry about long commutes and traffic jams anymore, then hey, why not? Then you should live wherever it suits you the most. The serenity and beauty of the countryside compared to the noise, pollution and cement of the city is itself lends a big boost in mood and cuts down on stress and aggravation caused by the constant noise and pollution. 

Montreal barbershops and hair salons reopen under strict pandemic rules I still think I'd rather do my own hair or have my husband do it for me. 





Canada- U.S. border to remain closed to non-essential travel until July 21  Good, though I think it'll need to remain closed longer than that.



The Latest: New Zealand is no longer coronavirus-free I love how the PM was just bragging about this last week and while she was busy smirking about it, I was busy thinking to myself, "how frigging hard could that be anyhow? Given you have less than 1/2 the population of Quebec alone and are an island nation in middle of the ocean with no way to breach your borders without you knowing about it!"  Like it's no miracle feat there at all. And now this has come back to bite the smirking proudy pants in her butt. That'll teach her to get on the international scene and start gloating about it to everyone in the world.


COVID-19 cases surging in Alabama, South Carolina and Oklahoma  If anyone thinks this virus is going away, they might want to read this first.

Factbox: Can frozen or chilled food spread coronavirus?  What I don't understand is why media cite reports that are inconclusive. People read these articles to find out definitively whether they are or not and not to remain perplexed.

Coronavirus: Spuds off the menu in Germany after 'catastrophic' fall in sales Speaking of spuds. The other day when I was out I picked up a huge bag with 3x the amount of the bags I normally buy for the same price. I bought it because we do eat a lot of potatoes here, anyhow. But in the summertime we eat a lot of salads, and one of those are potato salads. But besides that my husband and I are like big kids when it comes to things like BBQ hamburgers and sides. We love french fries or poutine and they both use a lot of potatoes as well. Then there's also the chowders and soup oh and stews. So I couildn't resist that huge bag. Like a friend of ours pointed out years ago, even if you only eat the usual amount that you get for the price you paid before it goes bad, you're not wasting money because you got your money's worth. If you manage to eat more or all of it, before it goes bad, then you saved money. 

Canadian consumer debt inches lower for the first time in a decade Well maybe that's what was needed in order to make people stop buying stuff they really don't need and probably don't really want all that much either, but are just buying it out of habit of buying stuff.




'Significant increase' in number of new COVID-19 cases among under-20s in Ontario, study finds  Well I guess they shouldn't have been crawling all over each other in the parks when the lockdown started to be lifted back in May.

Coronavirus: Oxford University vaccine to provide protection 'for about a year', says drugmaker Okay, how would they know? This virus hasn't been around for a year yet, in order to test anything for a year on it. But besides that, my dog's rabies vaccine shots last longer than that, so why would anyone want that? I don't even want one vaccine let alone annual ones.

Coronavirus: 'Major breakthrough' as UK scientists find £5 steroid cuts COVID-19 deaths  But apparently Canada doesn't have or hardly any of this drug in it's drug supply. Figures. 

The Latest: New Zealand PM assigns military leader to border Does she mean the coastline? Because otherwise I don't see where their borders are.


Cafe society returns to Paris as bars and bistros fill pavements I guess with the social distancing rules etc in place here in Canada it'll be awhile before we have scenes like this in Montreal again.

Cuomo Warns He May Reverse Reopenings After New York Gets 25,000 Complaints  That's what's likely to happen everywhere, if we keep seeing resurgences of it, everywhere.

Lockdown has destroyed our sex drive  Really? I hadn't noticed.

Fauci: why the public wasn't told to wear masks when the coronavirus pandemic began  This is precisely what I've been saying from the beginning too. That masks were needed but we couldn't get any because they were being hoarded by the gov't and medical establishments. If we could've though there'd probably have been a lot less cases of COVID19 in the community than there was.

As U.S. Nursing-Home Deaths Reach 50,000, States Ease Lockdowns   And we thought we had it bad at our nursing homes! Wow!



Close the Lid! Flushing Toilets Spreads Coronavirus: Study, So um yeah, contaminate the underside of the lid, where the next person's going to rest their back when they use the toilet. Great idea!



Stanford Study: Coronavirus Tests Can Be Self-Administered Safely, Reliably  I'm sure we'll never be allowed to self-administer here in Canada, because the government deems us to be too dumb to do it on our own. 

Quebec coroner announces vast public inquiry into COVID-19 long-term care deaths  It's about frigging time! They should've started looking into this a few months ago and maybe that would've saved a few thousand lives if they did.


Public Health England is not fit for purpose  For that matter, nor is Public Health Canada, nor any of the provincial public health officers either.



People of color account for majority of coronavirus infections, new CDC study says I'm wondering if it's more to do with genetics or socio-economic circumstances of their lives? Like living conditions and jobs.


The ultimate COVID-19 mystery: Why does it spare some and kill others? You could ask the same about any deadly disease, like measles and other deadly diseases in the past.

PACK IT UP Keep your DOG socially distanced 6ft from other pets and owners to avoid it catching coronavirus, US agency warns  I wish they'd make up their minds about whether or not our pets can get it too or not. According to the experts they said they can, then they can't, and now it's they can again. So what it is? They can or they can't?


As Coronavirus Returns to Beijing, Schools Shut and Flights Are Halted I hope it's not only their incoming flights that are halted but also their outgoing ones as well and I hope that the Cdn authorities aren't so brain dead as to let them in this time around, and stop them from coming here, period.

Cambodia is requiring all visitors to pay a $3,000 deposit to cover possible coronavirus costs I guess that's one way of doing it. Stopping people from going there or once there, making sure they can cover the cost of their own health care.

Germany Sees Largest Local Covid-19 Outbreak Since Lifting Lockdown Sounds like they along with everyone else, are lifting the lockdowns too soon.

COVID-19 makes air pollution a top concern worldwide: report And that's probably partially the reason why China had such a high caseload in Wuhan.

Should we be worried about the Beijing coronavirus outbreak?  Well if we're too stupid to learn from past mistakes and let them into our countries, then yeah we should be worried, but if the people running our countries learn from past mistakes and shut the borders down to them, then we can probably avoid it.

Trump on coronavirus: 'If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any.' Why he's dangerously wrong. The fact that the media are so pathetically stupid or just want to be thick headed and mean when it comes to Trump just blows my mind. No I don't like the man, but I can't stand organized bullying of someone either. It's just constant nitpicking about anything he says or does and they act so f'n stupid and can't seem to figure what he's saying out without it being spelled out to them letter by freaking letter. This is a classic example of that. Of course he knows that just because no tests are taken that that doesn't mean there's no cases. What he's saying is if no tests are taken then no cases are reported and so as far as everyone is concerned then is that there's no cases.  But apparently the media moguls are too thick skulled to figure this stuff out on their own and it has to be explained in minute detail. And we all know the saying of "out of sight out of mind", so that if no tests are done and as a result no cases are reported, eventually this whole pandemic will just fade in everyone's minds until or unless it affects them directly.





Why The World Is More Worried Than Ever About A 2nd Wave With the exception of NZ and China (if you can believe them) the rest of the world never totally beat it, only NZ & China claimed to have beat it and have 0 cases of it until it came back in from elsewhere. But that's not a second wave, that's a continuation of the first wave. A second wave would be when it's totally defeated, or so the world thinks and then whoops out of seemingly nowhere it starts again, maybe after having lain dormant somewhere for a period of time. That is what a second wave is. You can't get a 2nd one going on if the 1st one is still around and you're getting resurgences of it here and there. Those resurgences are from 1st wave people mingling with those who aren't immune to it yet and causing them to get it too. 


When Workers Can Live Anywhere, Many Ask: Why Do I Live Here?  That's a good question to ask one's self, especially if you really can live anywhere and keep the job you already have, without having to endure long rush hour commutes and all the extra expense of going to work (wardrobe, makeup, lunches, transportation, etc...) and can stay home and live in a place of your choosing rather than living close to work for convenience sake.

As leaders warned of US meat shortages, overseas exports of pork and beef continued  This was all a political ploy to get the meat industry a certain status and to allow them to remain open even if they were affected by COVID19.


Star investor: Markets may crash so badly the Fed has to start buying stocks Are they going to engineer that collapse so that they can use that as an excuse to buy those stocks so that they can start nationalizing the companies in the US? Because they mentionned buying bonds in companies and now they are talking about possibly buying company stocks too? To me this sounds like a way for them to get their foot in the door of various companies in order to take them over and nationalize them.

WHO to update COVID-19 clinical guidance, stresses that steroids should not be used as prevention   In other words, like the masks they don't want the public running out to buy this stuff on their own and causing a shortage of it for those who really need it.

A COVID-19 vaccine will work only if trials include Black participants, experts say Especially, if the virus attacks and causes them more harm than others, then yeah of course they need to be included. The ones who are the most vulnerable to this virus like the elderly, the immune impaired, the blacks, and other groups that this virus causes the most problems and death to, are the ones that need to be included for sure.


After reopening, restaurants again shutting their doors as coronavirus flares   I'm starting to think that everything opened up too quickly and all at once. The reopening should've gone much much slower than it did.


Trudeau slams Bloc leader for suggesting he’s ruling country like a ‘king’ Actually, I'd say more like a dictator, because yeah, he just does whatever he wants, whenever he wants and however he wants without any opposition holding him accountable to anyone or anything. He's spent this country into oblivion already with all his doling out money on his front steps everyday.  We'll never be able to recover from that I don't think. Our great-great-great-great-great grandkids will still be paying for the debts he ran up in the last 3 months, during this pandemic.


Coronavirus shutdown shouldn’t stop people from being vaccinated, USask research says I don't even  get what one thing has to do with the other. But then that's just me.


How a Canadian Depression-era recipe went viral during the 2020 pandemic Yet another facet of the many faces and sides of this viral pandemic.


Fairview Pointe-Claire mall will reopen on June 19th The only thing is no public washrooms will be available. So make sure you go before leaving home and if you have the moxie maybe wear a Depends, if you wish to spend a bit of time there.


Strategic Allocation of Coin Inventories Yet another facet of this whole pandemic thing.





Coronavirus cases in Canada: More than 100,200 infections and 8,300 deaths  With numbers like that,  how can anyone in their right minds think this is over?

'I wasn't too smart': Woman who ignored heart attack for eight weeks avoided hospitals due to COVID-19  Eight weeks? Holy cow! She's lucky she survived! Of course if you're having a heart attack you need to go to the hospital and not wait! 

COVID-19 fees expected as small businesses reopen  More ways to gouge us. There's no need for them to charge customers for that stuff, because they can write it off on their income taxes as the cost of doing business, like paying for electricity, or advertising or website services etc...


And with that bit of good news, I'm going to end this post here. There'll be lots more COVID19 coverage, coming up real soon. So stay tuned.
