As the title implies I'm back at it slogging away at the neverending Covid19 headlines up to Oct 31st's date. Since I have to stay home today to watch over our sweet little dachshund who's suddenly developed the back problems that plague that breed of dog, until we get to see the vet with her tomorrow, I decided to put my time to good use adding more of the incredible backlog of headlines I have in here. I'm beginning to think I might never finish when I see the size of that bookmark file. It's unbelievable (even to me) that there could be that many headlines just on one subject.
Anyhow... I won't get them finished if I don't get started....
Cineplex CEO calls Ontario's new COVID-19 restrictions 'excessive' Yup well, you know.... That's fun, so that's why that's getting shut down. Now if it were work (whether it generated anything for the economy or not, I'm beginning to think) then it would be allowed to remain open.
Probably because either they or someone in their family was sent back to work and/or school and they picked it up there and brought it home and gave it to their family member that's currently testing for it.
What's the point of being protected by a constitutional law when the lawyers make it so f'n expensive no one can use it to uphold their rights????? Are the lawyers in this country really that stupid and brain dead that they can't defend a person using a freaking constitutional law?????? I mean if it's a constitutional law it should theoretically supercede and over ride all other laws that infringe upon that law. No???? Isn't that how that works???? If not what's the point of the constitution to begin with if all other more minor laws takes precedence over a constitutional law? So if what I assume is correct, what's the problem there? Are the judges too blind and stupid to understand simple English? If so they have no business being on the bench in the first place! Then our whole freaking judiciary is corrupt and useless! And one more thing, why don't all the defendants join together in a
class action suit to fight it on the grounds of it's
unconstitutionality? Maybe then it wouldn't be so expensive per person
or are the courts denying them that right too? In order to protect the
gov'ts abuse of power in NS??? Maybe a legal expert can use the comments section below to explain that one to both me and whatever other people may visit and read this page, pro bono of course.
Ontarians unclear on how to access social support during pandemic, survey finds I think that's true of all Canadians, including Quebecers. That's primarily why I set up this blog, so that when or if I ever found details of various programs, organizations and funds that would help Canadians but especially Seniors anywhere in Canada (and that's partly why there's so many headlines in here as I combed through everywhere looking for anything to do with anything that might be related to Covid19, but a lot of it was because I was looking for articles about funds, organizations and other that might be of benefit to Canadians - as this country is so large with so many different media, that meant I had a lot stuff to wade through - so to cut down on my time of reading every little article I just bookmarked it all to throw in here, with the hopes that some of those articles would be of use to someone). Whatever I did find is either on the first few pages of this blog which are directly accessible at this link: Opening page of blog ( this is also the page you'd use if you want to read the blog in chronological order since it started up until now and follow the progress of the disease and the ensuing idiocy that followed) and various pages with various resources listed. For instance if you were a senior in the Montreal area sweltering and looking for a free air conditioner this past summer information on how to attain one was given on the page where it was talked about (to access that particular page you simply look for "free air conditioners for seniors" in the right hand labels column and click on it. Same for all the other resources, like the CERB, or certain local organizations like for those in the Vaudreuil Soulanges area catering to seniors and those in need of certain services during this pandemic. That right hand column is the closest (albeit severely limited) thing there is to an index in here. But if you are in need (there's some resources listed for people all over the country but not all resources because I don't know of all resources - that's also why I wanted people to use the comments section - to leave info for others on resources and help that they knew about in their particular area, but wasn't listed in here - but I guess not. That apparently was either too much work or something). Anyhow.... Whatever I knew about and managed to find is in this blog somewhere. You may use the labels section on the right or comb through it with a fine tooth comb to find it, if you wish. Hopefully, you'll find some useful helpful information in here somewhere.
Wave of 'Nutcracker' cancellations hits dance companies hard Who didn't see this coming? Please raise your hands.
Canada did too! And we're already signed up to get ours. I wasn't going to get one - as I've never had one nor a flu in my life, so didn't figure I needed one now, but my husband wants one and figures I should get one too. So to please him, I am, otherwise I wouldn't.
Singing in silence: How this Whitehorse choir is rehearsing during COVID-19 This has to be one of the most idiotic headlines I've ever seen and trust me after a 150 pages of them, I've seen my fair share.
Domestic violence calls to police on rise during pandemic, yet some Alberta shelters have been quiet I can't even get my head around why anyone would stay with their abuser during a pandemic or not. If you're being abused, LEAVE & LEAVE NOW!!!!! It's as simple as that! Don't stay in an abusive situation no matter what. Find a shelter or somewhere where you can go to be safe and don't worry about anything except your life and the lives of your kids and maybe pets. Just get them and leave and find a shelter or go somewhere where your abuser won't find you. Don't stop and don't look back, just go and keep going from there.
World Food Programme says needs $6.8 billion over next six months to avert famine I think some of that food famine is apt to be right here in North America too, especially as families lose their incomes and maybe don't qualify for or can't get government support.
Smash and Angel Delight: 'The mixer that helped my family through hard times' This is more of a sentimental reminisce about a mixer, than anything to do with the pandemic, although for some reason the editors at BBC seem to think it ties in somehow. As I read it and found it entrancing and quaint and it somehow lowered my anxiety and heartbeat while I was reading it, I thought, ah what the heck even if it's not directly related to COVID19, I'll make it related too, with the hopes that others who read it get the same benefit from the story as I did at least for the time they're reading it.
'An unbelievable chain of oppression': America's history of racism was a preexisting condition for COVID-19 What's every other country's excuse for having COVID19 then huh? I'm not saying there's no racism in any other country, while I acknowledge that there is, it's not as blatant, permeating, and oppressive as that of the US'. So I'm wondering why the rest of the countries also are experiencing COVID19? The author of this article makes it sound like the US is experiencing COVID19 as some form of divine retribution or something. Maybe it is in the US' case and maybe all countries have sins to atone for and need some form of retribution as well, but seriously, I don't see how the author can connect slavery, racism, BLM, etc to the virus which began in Wuhan in China. I mean, not everything in the world is connected to the racist problems going on in the US, so give it a break for awhile, why don't you!?!
Staying Apart, Together: How to say no to your friends in the COVID era Personally I don't think we should be forced to say no to friends, but again, that all depends on how many friends at a time we're talking about here. Having a friend or two over once in awhile in my estimation should be fine, it's when we want to party with 50 - 100 of them at a time that may be a slight problem.
More than 1 million mink will be killed to help contain a series of Covid-19 outbreaks on Danish farms So so sad, they're such cute little critters. When I was young there was a mink farm just across the road from where my grandmother lived. The lady there, had no kids and so took a special interest in me whenever I was around and invited me over to see the mink and do things with her - mostly things like help water her house plants, play bingo and fish, pet her dog, help her bake cookies etc... Things a kid would want to do. So whenever I see the mink cull headlines like this, it makes me sad for people like her & her husband as that was their whole livelihood, with all their money invested in it too. So I can't imagine how devastated she & her husband would be, if they were still mink farming now.
The West is being left behind as it squanders Covid-19 lessons from Asia-Pacific That's probably intentionally, all in line to do with the plandemic and maybe the Great Reset as well....
Nashville officials investigating a religious concert that lacked a permit and drew thousands without masks Wow, I managed to post quite a few links before a "masks" related story turned up. Imagine that.
How Climate Change Affects Covid-19 Believe it or not they found a way to connect the two, just like they find a way to connect these two different subjects to everything else as well.
Governments Use Pandemic To Crack Down On Online Dissent: Watchdog No kidding. They're using the pandemic to crack down on dissent period, whether online or offline. In fact they're using the pandemic for all sorts of draconian and authoritarian agendas, even here in Canada.
So it's either going to wind up being extremely boring viewing or else they're going to be relying on more computer graphics for action and pizzazz.
Facebook to Ban Ads Discouraging Vaccines Yup the anti social media who thinks they were made judge, jury and executioner of peoples rights to free speech & expression. If you happen to have opposing political views or views that aren't mainstream in society they shut you down and censor you. So everyone on those social media sites either all have to espouse and spout the same regurgitated nonsense that the owner/founder believes in, or nothing at all. That's not only how you silence dissent, but also make sure no one has any ideas out of the norm. Ergo a bland vanilla society all thinking and doing the same thing with no creativity or imagination or even daring to think outside the box. I'm sorry I'm not defending the anti-vaxxers here because I do believe in vaccines, just not this particular one because of the back history (that you can read about using the label in the sidebar by looking for the label to do with "back history") to this whole virus. What I am defending though is their right to post ads there or for anyone to say whatever they want there, that Suckerburger doesn't own everyone's right to free speech and expression.
EXCLUSIVE-FDA faults quality control at Lilly plant making Trump-touted COVID drug Was that just to stymy Trump and his promise of having a vaccine before election day? Which I guess in the US is today. Wondering how that'll turn out... But quality control could be something as ridiculously simple/stupid (depending on how you want to see it) as they found a bottle where the cap wasn't tightened enough and it may have been 1 bottle out of a million produced. Who knows? But the point being that the other branches of the US gov't has had it in for Trump ever since he got elected and have done all that they could to thwart every effort he made to do anything at all over his 4 years in office, so this move by the FDA doesn't surprise me at all. The Lilly vaccine might've been 100% perfect, but with some minor problem like the loose cap, I mentioned above and that was enough of an excuse to shut them down to thwart Trump's promise. I can easily see that happening.
'Hunker down': The fall Covid-19 surge is here At least they realize it's a surge or a resurgence of the first wave and aren't calling a 2nd wave like they are here in Canada!
No need for mandatory masks in city-owned buildings, say top public health doctors Are the law makers there in BC that blind and stupid that they can't see how confusing and hypocritical this is? If they're mandatory for all other buildings, why not in government buildings (because the city is a tier of government)?
Hmmm.... Does it have limits? I don't know, I've seen other stories that seem to suggest the opposite... So who's right & who's wrong on this issue? I guess only time will tell in the end.
Rich get richer, poor poorer: Two reports say pandemic intensifying inequalities Well of course, I mean didn't they rig the plandemic that way on purpose when Gates and the WEF got together in Wuhan before the pandemic started? Wouldn't surprise me if they did.
Mom loses hearing in one ear after mild COVID-19 infection could it have no been caused by a simultaneous ear infection that had nothing to do with COVID19? Because now, I'm starting to find it a little extreme the things that virus is linked to. Pretty soon they'll declare it to be the cause of toenail fungus or ear wax too for all it matters. Maybe we can blame it for hiccups and ingrown toenails too.
Join the group, now that you're no longer in danger of dying from COVID19 you can join the rest of us, who don't have COVID19 & never did, but can't get medical attention either. Just so long as you don't have COVID19 and are in danger of dying from it, they don't want to know about or care for you. It's that simple. And the BS that does pass as medical care these days is a phone call from your doctor - in lieu of actual in person medical appointments. The doctor will call you when it suits the doctor - whether it suits you or not is another story. But I was a nurse and there are a myriad of things that I know you can't check for remotely (either via video conferencing or the telephone) as they need a hands on diagnosis from the physician themselves, like palpating an abdomen, listening to the heart or lungs for signs of problems checking someone's tonsils or inside their ears, testing reflexes, and things like that that home thermometers and blood pressure gauges and even those fancy smart watches can't do. But no, they don't do those things anymore because OMG euuuuuu they might come into contact with some germs like COVID (even if the patient disinfects themselves and wears a hazmat suit) and they don't want that. Because after all they're doctors. While everyone else in society is supposed to take those risks on a daily basis and they have nothing to do with the medical community - like store clerks, bank tellers, bus drivers, school teachers, assembly line workers, etc.... Some how doctors are special people and can't come into contact with germs, while it was an implicit and fundamental understanding by all students who wished to get into the medical field that there was a very large risk (larger than most other people would have) of coming into contact with germies and some of them might even be deadly germies.... Euuuuuu That's Gross.... Now though the snowflake doctors can't go near them as they might get them too. So they have to resort to phone calls as a substitute for a visit to their office. You know, I remember back when doctors made housecalls as a matter of course because very few of them had their own office or clinic. Then it evolved that they couldn't come to our homes when we were sick in BED, but we had to somehow drag our sorry miserably sick ashes off to their offices/clinics to see them instead and now it's devolved to phone calls. What's next? Self diagnose and self medicate and still pay medicare deductions? So, don't despair COVID19 long haulers, it's not just you they don't want to see, they don't want to see anyone but they still want their annual salaries I'm sure.
How COVID-19's latest wave will hit our economy You mean we still have an economy to hit?
THIS IS A SPECIAL HEADLINES THAT I JUST SAW NOW NOV 3rd AND NEEDS TO BE POSTED FOR ALL CANADIANS TO KNOW OF & BE WARE OF! (The connotations of which are beyond mind boggling and alarming - will explain in comment):
Okay 1) Since when does a government (other than a gestapo or communist government) deploy their military in any operations AGAINST THEIR OWN TAXPAYING VOTING CITIZENS????
2) The myriad of ways this could be used is mind boggling. We'll start with this pandemic we're now living through as an example. If the government wants you do something that you don't want to do, they'll use military tested propaganda techniques against you in order to convince you to do otherwise. Think take the vaccine, or willingly go to work for slave wages, or worse, convince you to betray friends, neighbours and family members for whatever reason (to do with the pandemic or not) - Hitler used his propaganda machine like that. The Soviets did too. So what would stop this little puke from doing the same thing?
3) They'll be able to influence election outcomes using this propaganda machine of theirs as well. Ergo we'll have that imbecile with a thimble full of brains in power forever if we let the little creep get away with this ploy. Because he'll make sure that they crank up their propaganda machine full max to ensure he stays in power, no matter how many elections we have.
4) Then the next thing you know he'll be influencing us to all become Islamic jihadis terrorizing the US until they become Islamic too. I wouldn't doubt it with that little idiot. Gawd, get him out of our faces ASAP! Pulease, as I've had enough of his idiocy already. I can't take anymore of it. Seriously!
Yup the QC gestapo are at it again..... YOU DO SEE WHAT'S COMING AT US USING THIS HEADLINE & THE ONE DIRECTLY ABOVE, DO YOU NOT? I mean it's blatantly in your face now. If you can't see it clear as day, you're either willfully blind to it, or just a plain idiot who can't see past the end of their noses. So people the time has come to REVOLT EN MASSE! Don't wait much longer because it may be too late. NOW IS THE TIME! I'm telling you. The writing is literally on the wall for all to see now. I'm a senior so my time is pretty much up and I'm not going to have to live in this world much longer, but you younger generations will. If you want to live under fascism or communism (whatever is coming at you under that little wanna-be dictator) for the rest of your lives, then sit back and ignore all these flashing red light warning signals, but if you can't see yourselves living the next 40 & 50 years like that, then now is the time to step up and take action. I'm not kidding.
Chris Selley: Rank fear mongering behind Ontario's mostly evidence-free new COVID restrictions Yup I can go with that, fear mongering.... Like I've been saying about almost everything else to do with this virus. Like I said it's time to stop being so afraid and quaking in your boots and stand up for yourselves and your freedoms WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THEM. AFTER THEY'VE BEEN TAKEN AWAY, IT'LL BE TOO LATE, YOU'LL HAVE LOST THEM FOREVER! I'm serious. The fear mongering is meant to keep you afraid and compliant. You have to start seeing the truth behind the BS numbers, even Yahoo news is waking up now and posted a beautiful chart that shows the real numbers versus those they want you to believe. But you have to say enough is enough, what's the odds that out of a population of 8.5 million (that's here in QC) I'm going to run into any of those 9,000 odd people who are positive, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE QUARANTINING AT HOME!?! And take a chance at standing up for yourselves and your rights! Remember there's more of us then there are of them. And it's time we took our power back instead of financing our oppressors powers!
More than 75 per cent of COVID-19 patients admitted to hospital reported abnormal symptoms three months later Do they really? Or is this just another fear mongering number because the other numbers are starting to lose their power against us? Just wondering...
'Too soon' to say whether 28-day semi-lockdown will lift on Oct. 28, Arruda says Given today's date, I already know the answer to that one as I knew it then... The answer then was no and now it's no too. And yes it'll lift on Nov 23 if only to allow everyone time to do their Christmas shopping and keep the economic wheels churning.
How broke and broken do you have to be before you start pushing back and stop letting them f your lives over like this? Just wondering.... I know Canadians are renown for being sheeple but jemus H christopher where does it end? Are you all going to willingly and blindly walk off the edge of the cliff for them, too?
COVID-19 myth-busting: Five things you should know I'm so tired of banging my head against brick walls and repeating myself ad infinitum, that I'm not even going to comment on anything in here including the inconsistencies in the water myth.... I'll let you figure it out.
I tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies after seven months. Here’s what that means It means you've been immune against it 4.5 months longer than the scientists are saying you should be. I bet in 5 years from now you'll still have antibodies against it.
Don't you mean Canada's top WITCH DOCTOR? Because if she's a doctor that's the only way she could be one, or else she got a doctor's license out of a cracker jack box, because there's no way that genocidal witch could be a doctor. She's too f'n stupid to be a doctor.
Coronavirus: B.C. man fined for hosting weekend party with 60 people, live band Of course he was, because he and 60 other people dared to have fun.
Idaho university ‘deeply troubled’ by students contracting COVID-19 to sell plasma I guess they have to find ways to for those steep tuitions American unis charge.
Good nothing like making the draconian wanna be dictators lose their grip on things. Here's hoping there's more unraveling to come.
Coronavirus: Berlin ad sticks middle finger to mask rule breakers Well at least it's only the middle finger and not their whole fist into your bank accounts like here in QC where they don't mind gouging the eyes out of our heads for not wearing a mask and robbing us blind on top of that.
Yeah we might even list our home for some insane price and sit on it until we get it. That way if we get it yay! If not, yay! We can still stay here rent and mortgage free.
Seriously??? They're going to sing that song again eh? Okay then, I defy them to explain WHY Quebec & Ontario the two most humid provinces in Canada because of the seaway & great lakes, have the most cases, while Saskatchewan and Manitoba the 2 prairie provinces which are drier than QC & ON have up until now had very few cases compared to QC & ON? Even AL has and had fewer cases. Why is it then that Cal and NY and FL (all seacoast states) had higher cases than say NV and AZ (the drier states)? Explain that one. Seems to me given the real world examples that super computer isn't so super, in fact, it's just plain wrong.
We were told to keep family gatherings small or virtual this Thanksgiving. People didn't listen Well considering we weren't allowed to have Easter together, and all the other holidays and festivities and reasons to celebrate were verbodden, we've had enough. Enough is enough and it's time the leaders learn where the line in the sand is drawn and stay on their side and we'll stay on our side, but the minute they cross the line (which they've done already with the gestapo laws in QC and the wanna-be bozo brains dictator military propaganda proposal - the minute that becomes law is the minute that little puke crosses the line and I hope the House of Commons brings him to his knees by calling a non-confidence vote and the rest of Canada gives him his walking papers in the ensuing election). So if they throw the little puke out of parliament (and hopefully into jail where he belongs) we won't need a full on rebellion, but if they don't and he does pass that law then we do need one in a big way. The more these power hungry ash holes push us the more people are going to want to push back. So yeah take all our holidays and everything fun that we like to do away and see where that gets you you bunch of nazified gestapo booted idiots. We've just had it.
'The plan was in front of us but leadership would not do it': New documentary 'Totally Under Control' reveals 'what went wrong' in the U.S. COVID-19 response Wondering what went wrong in Canada besides Tam, Haggydodo and bozo brains in Ottawa?
I think gyms, bars & restaurants are doing that in QC, also.
More Canadians planning to continue living at home as they age, survey suggests Yeah, I wonder why...
I hope this dirtbag isn't given any cause to cry mistrial or whatever because of it being held virtually and him getting off scott free because of it.
Windsor restaurant threatened with human rights action after mask dispute at takeout window They're going after the wrong people. Instead of threatening the restaurant threaten the government that enacted it (if it was enacted by a gov't and isn't just an arbitrary "rule" the restaurant itself enacted on it's own behalf).
Canadians divided over mandatory COVID-19 vaccines, priority inoculations Really? They're divided eh? That's funny because I don't know of one single person that is even considering getting it let alone having decided to definitely get it. So I guess all those wanting it must be living in different areas away from where I live then.
Some Canadians won’t get the flu shot because they haven’t gotten COVID-19: poll Well that's skewed reasoning if I ever saw it, but hey.... We're talking British Columbians here... 'Nuff said, on that score.
Coronavirus: Impact of 'long COVID' revealed - one woman needs short breaks after peeling vegetables
Seriously? Short breaks after peeling veggies? Is that standing or sitting while peeling? I would assume if they're that weak it's sitting... I can't say as I understand that at all, given that I've never ever in my entire life been that weak even when I was down to only 1/3rd of my red blood cells left in my body (which would've killed most other people by the time they were down to about 1/2, but hey I was still kicking and able to walk myself into a hospital when I was registering a little more than 1/3rd) or as a nurse seen anyone that weak either. Sometimes it's not the physical strength that's lacking but rather the mental fortitude to push through it and that's likely to be the case here. Either that or it's a sympathy ploy - to get those that live with them to do more of the work, so they can do less of it. But I'm just not buying that unless they're like my mother and weren't peeling anything unless she was standing up to do it, which apparently she was or so the story would lead you to believe. Then yeah I can see that, that would be about the same as when I had to keep taking breaks to sit down while trying to shower when I lost 2/3rds of my hemoglobin.
People with blood type O may have lower risk of Covid-19 infection and severe illness, two new studies suggest That would definitely explain why if I had it in January I wasn't sick for very long with it, that coupled with the mega doses of vitamin D my doctor started prescribing to me right around then too.
I guess the leaders are clueless and all they seem to care about is the economy and COVID hospitalizations. But what about the rest of us? Those who want to live a life (or don't have a job or school to go to anymore and therefore no form of socialization or anything to change the scenery from one day to the next - as in not going out to school or work and no colleagues or classmates to talk to, and not allowed to go anywhere fun because that's all closed) or who have other ailments (some of them life-threatening) that aren't related to COVID19 and would like some medical attention for such? The leaders don't seem to care about us, just COVID, COVID, COVID and the economy. Period end of story. That's all they see, hear, read, & think about. They don't care that the workers and students and retired people have mental health issues from not being able to see friends & family, or enjoy life at all and that all their lives have boiled down to is being good little cogs in the economic engine, just eating, sleeping and working or studying without anything to look forward to in their off hours. No visits from friends or family, no socializations of any kind, no sports, or entertainment events, no holidays or other celebrations, nothing. What kind of life is that for anyone? So F the economy and start thinking about the workers in that economy too! Their wants and needs (and no it's not just eat, and sleep - they may have health needs that aren't being met, or psychological needs, or desires and wants and above all a need for fun and to feel loved).
They're still dying anyhow. So what's the difference? Either we get herd immunity, or a vaccine but one way or the other we've got to get this over with. We can't live in lockdown forever.
Bacon-scented face masks? Hormel Foods announces it is giving away free Black Label 'Breathable Bacon' masks Cool! I want one! How do I get one here in Canada?
Britain's spies defending Covid-19 vaccine work, MI5 chief says Obviously CSIS (Canada's spy agency) wasn't defending our vaccine we were working on here in Canada in conjunction with the Chinese, because they took off with it, leaving us with nothing.
For employers, testing workers for COVID-19 is easier said than done For much of this plandemic that's true, that it's easier said than done, or easier said than proving it.
Wondering what the count is here in Canada....
😱 Oh gawd, what's next? If it's not one thing it's another, it seems.
I guess those people know who not to vote for.
Anyhow.... Until the next installment take care & stay well.... Don't despair, there's tons more headlines to go before I'm finished, plenty enough to get all your COVID19 news fixes satiated.
