Giving It Another Go at Trying to Get This Done Soon.....

 Covid19

Oct 29, 2020

Wow! Only 2 days to go and I know right now I'm NOT going to get this done on time! The reason I know that is because I won't have the time because we have to go out hunting for an affordable new toilet and then someone's coming to install it on the 31st, I think. So that's going to drastically cut into the time I have to devote to getting this done. 

I still have hundreds of headlines to go and I'm sure between now and Oct 31st, there'll be a few hundred more headlines too as it just never ends. It's constant. To quote Trump, "Covid, Covid, Covid, Constant Covid in the news". So he was right about that even if everyone thinks he wasn't right about much else.

So I'm going to give it my best shot to get as many headlines in here tonight as possible, but be forewarned, I've been nodding off, off and on all day long so that's apt to be the case while I try to work on this. So that may drastically cut into the time I have to do this, and thus cut down on the amount of articles I can get posted before I nod off for my 8 hours of sleep. I don't know what's wrong me because it's only the last few weeks I've been like this. Most of my life I've been an insomniac, now I struggle to stay awake for any length of time. It's awful.
 
So I'm going to be getting started now, so grab your glasses, beverage of choice and easy chair and start reading...
 


 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Vancouver Christmas Market cancelled due to coronavirus pandemic  Of course. Just wondering when they're going to cancel life altogether. 

The Cdn gov't site on border measures being taken in regards to the virus along with immigration, refugees, family abroad, etc... If you want/need any official information on those subjects directly from the government itself, this is where you go.
 
Coronavirus: Levels of anxiety and depression rising among Canadians during pandemic In my case it's not anxiety & depression that's getting to me, it's pure unbridled anger and hatred of the governments and all their sycophants in the medical establishment and media that let them get away with this charade and continue to support them in the efforts in it. Now don't misinterpret what I'm saying here. I'm not saying that Coronavirus isn't real and infecting people and killing some, what I'm saying is the way it was handled from the get go was all wrong and anyone who attended med school or even nursing school for a half hour KNOWS THAT and KNEW THAT IN ORDER TO PREVENT A VIRUS FROM SPREADING YOU SEGREGATE YOUR SOCIETY FROM IT.  In other words you  PREVENT IT FROM GETTING INTO YOUR COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE BY CLOSING ALL BORDERS THE MOMENT YOU HEAR ABOUT IT IN ANOTHER COUNTRY.  So the moment they heard about it in Wuhan, knowing that we have a lot of people who travel to and from China on a regular basis, hurt feelings on behalf of the Chinese community or not, it was IMPERATIVE THAT WE CLOSE ALL BORDERS AND STOP ALL INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC COMING INTO THIS COUNTRY FROM ANYWHERE.  Because air travel allows viruses to spread so rapidly around the globe and not knowing where a person has been before they came to Canada or who they rubbed shoulders with along the way, was enough cause to close the border down completely BACK ON JANUARY 21st WHEN WE FIRST OFFICIALLY HEARD ABOUT THIS DISEASE IN WUHAN.  NEVERMIND WAITING FOR THE CORRUPT BRAINDEAD IMBECILES IN THE WHO TO DIRECT ANYTHING. When that wasn't done, then what should've been done and is outlined in our constitution on how to handle pandemics should've been followed to the T, because THAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT. You isolate the sick and their contacts, for the full 40 days. So you remove them totally from the population and so technically if they were the only ones who got into Canada with that disease they and their contacts won't be spreading it hither and yon. And you set up quarantine officers to check on them (like they're finally only starting to do now with the cops checking on them - but that should've been done in the very very beginning). Anyone else you find with it you do the same with them and their contacts. But you let everyone else go about their daily lives. Then to cut down on the risk "in case" you didn't catch/find them all, you make the rest of the population wear masks. Nevermind this BS hand washing BS. It's a respiratory illness that spreads via droplets and aerosols in the air that you breath in, that's the main way it's contracted. Sticking your hands in your mouth after touching a contaminated surface might do it too, but honestly how many adults goes around sticking their hands in their mouths for no reason all the time? We're not 2 year olds who constantly have our hands or fingers in our mouths. All the doctors and nurses in Canada KNEW THIS and if they didn't then they have NO BUSINESS HOLDING A LICENSE TO PRACTICE MEDICINE OR NURSING. NONE.  ZILCH. ZERO. As there's NO EXCUSE FOR NOT KNOWING THOSE PROCEDURES. I mean how the F do you ISOLATE CONTAGIOUS PEOPLE IN HOSPITAL WARDS IF YOU DON'T KNOW THOSE SIMPLE CONCEPTS?????? So for them to sit idly by and let this happen, means they should all lose their licenses. Either that or put up and shut up, since you bunch of idiots did this to yourselves (I'm talking about the exhaustion and over work etc...). And for the media - well they don't know which way is up to start with so we can't expect miracles out of them. But they should say "Whoa" what's going on here when they find little nuggets out like the one Arruda dropped tonight on the news admitting that the Coronavirus deaths might be inflated, because if there was a death that they think could be related to the disease but aren't entirely sure it is, like in the example he gave about someone having Cancer and dying but also had Covid, that person's death will be listed as a Covid caused death and not by Cancer.  So they're using the same tricks here in Quebec (probably right across Canada) as they use in the US, where just about all deaths are deemed to be Covid related, because the CDC issued directives to the hospitals to label them all COVID caused in order to cut down on time doing autopsies. There's a link to that 7 page CDC document, somewhere amongst all the links on all the pages in my blog. I'm not sure now if I put a label to it or what it would be called if I did. So if you want to find it, comb through the labels on the right hand side and see if you can find anything that might look like it in there and click on that to get taken to that page, or failing that do the good old fashion detective work of combing through all the pages until you find it. That's all I can suggest if you really want to find it.  I mean you'd think the media would go "oh yeah, that's interesting" I wonder what else it is that they're hiding or doing crookedly that they're not telling us and start investigating rather than sitting on their lazy stupid ashes swallowing whatever BS the gov't tells them hook, line and sinker. Once upon a time being a journalist meant you were also an investigator of sorts, now a days it's just an idiot with a microphone and tape recorder recording whatever the other idiot is telling them and then copying it verbatim onto a worksheet for print or broadcast. No investigating involved. I doubt any of them would know how, these days.


 
Canadians will pay the bill for COVID-19 in higher taxes — here’s how it will likely happen Oh I can't wait! We're already taxed to the eyeballs here in QC, so um yeah just add 'em on.... Pretty soon we'll be drowning in them with no hope of ever paying. That's when the gov't will confiscate all property (like they did in the USSR) and proclaim it all belongs to the government and we all work for them now for mere subsistance salaries. That's what it seems like this is all working towards.

 
 

 
Canada ‘desperately’ needs people to dig in, stay home in coronavirus fight: Qualtrough Actually we desperately need leaders who knows what they're doing and how to handle the situation and to be advised by REAL DOCTORS & N O T WITCH DOCTORS (Tam), ART TEACHERS (Hajdu) & PENCIL NECKED ACCOUNTANTS (Dube), WHO KNOWS DIDDLY SQUAT ABOUT MEDICINE & INFECTIOUS DISEASES!!!! AND I N V E S T I G A T I V E JOURNALISTS WHO WANT TO PUBLISH THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND NOT JUST TOW THE MAINSTREAM BS LINE!!!!! We need people who will stand up for truth and justice and who will do the right thing by the people & NOT JUST THE MONEYMAKERS!!!! That's what we need the most. Not more lies, massaged data, manipulated numbers, and paranoid propaganda put out by the governments! 

 
 
Ontario doctor says he was told to expect fewer flu vaccines in this, the year of COVID-19 We were contacted the other day by our pharmacist offering us the flue shot, but I didn't know at the time my husband wanted one, so I declined. Then I found out last night he wanted one if he could get it and so I called her today to try to get one for us, but now she's not sure she will have enough. So I told her if she has at least 1 shot left to give it to him. She said she'll get back to us and I thought she would by the end of the day before she closed, but we didn't hear anything from her. 

 

 
23 workers test positive for COVID-19 at food distribution centre in Delta, B.C.  So obviously this is a super spreader event, that is NOT a social gathering of any kind, but rather a work place. It's about time that the authorities started recognizing that a lot of work places are equally capable of being super spreaders and not just bars, restaurants and family gatherings. The reason they don't do that though is because they don't want their precious economy to falter and fall apart if the workers all suddenly deem it too dangerous to go to work and decides to stay home instead.

 

Could that be due to a high fever perhaps? Fevers can induce hallucinations. So maybe that's what's happening here too?
 
CDC revises coronavirus guidance to acknowledge that it spreads through airborne transmission Look the mere fact that it is a coronavirus means it spreads through air, so how come it took the CDC 10 f'n months to figure that out and admit it????? I'm sorry but I'm beyond aggravated with the criminal negligence and stupidity emanating from that criminal organization called the CDC. 
 
The Post-Pandemic 'New Normal' Looks Awfully Authoritarian Nevermind post pandemic. It looks awful authoritarian now. 

 

So keep taking your medications regularly.
 
‘Babies are doing well’: Infants born to moms with COVID have few complications That's good to know. Let's just hope they don't have hidden latent problems that show up years later, instead of immediately at birth.

Well of course it can spread indoors. If there's air, it can spread, doesn't matter whether it's indoors or outdoors. It's even in some lakes, so maybe it can spread via water too, for all we know.
 

It's good to see a company show some compassion & decency in this  time of pandemic.
 
Ottawa has been Canada's hottest market for new home prices during COVID-19 I seriously can't understand why anyone would want to live in Ottawa unless they had to (as in their job is there like in parliament for instance).

Haven't we all eaten a lot over this pandemic? Everyone I know has, so you're not alone Adam.
 

 
 
There was a chart posted on the net somewhere that I printed out and posted on our fridge. It outlined the differences between the flu, a cold & coronavirus. That was the only place I could think to put it where we'd both see it and be able to consult it immediately, without searching the computer files or around the house for the printout of it.

 
Cargo carriers warn that getting a COVID-19 vaccine to everyone on Earth could take up to two years I'm sure there'd be some places where it would be locally produced and could be moved by ground carriers to the local population.

 

 

 
Well I guess I'll end it here for now.... Until next time take care & stay well.

Small Appliance Replacing, Last Minute Harvesting, Petition, Exhaustion &

Covid19

October 24, 2020

The last few days I was crazy busy, trying to replace some of the broken small appliances I had - to make my cooking  easier, plus I had some stuff left in the garden that I absolutely had to harvest before the snow comes - which is supposedly coming as early as tomorrow night into Monday morning. Coupled with very little sleep for those days I was just totally exhausted last night and needed every second of sleep that I managed to get.
 
 It started with the shopping foray at Costco as my friend who's a member there, was going on and on about all the wonderful things and prices they have, and so I thought okay maybe I can get some things there at a lower price than say at Canadian Tire. So I took the Cdn Tire flyer which I had and wrote down the prices of the things that I needed to replace to bring with me to compare the prices with at Costco. So we went to Costco and basically spent the whole afternoon there because she loves the place and wanted to show me around. Anyhow I found 2 items I wanted and I guess when compared with the prices at Cdn Tire, between the two I saved $65 (and a membership is $60, so I decided maybe I'd get a membership too because who knows maybe later on there'll be other things we want or need and we'll save at least that much again, in any case my savings paid for the membership). But unlike her I wasn't all that enamoured of the place. I found it to be a too big to bother with place and a lot of empty shelves - I would never go explore the whole store as I hate shopping with a passion, to see a few sparsely stocked shelves here and there while overcrowding other shelves elsewhere. And the cost of the food, looked like a nightmare scenario come true.  Holy crap! Anyone who believes those prices are good has never been in a real grocery store in their lives and has only ever shopped there. My hair almost stood on end when I saw the prices of the meat and other foods. So after seeing all of that, I'm not even sure why we'd use our membership in the future. Maybe if there's something we want that seems expensive elsewhere we can go look there first before buying anything in case they have it cheaper. Who knows? All I know is I wasn't impressed.

So we went to Canadian Tire yesterday to get the other items that broke, seeing as how Costco didn't have any of them. We forgot one, so I guess we'll have to get it later on. Anyhow after coming home with them we had to unpack them and then take them apart to wash them and put them back together again for storage. That along with the usual household chores and trying to keep on top of the covid news, with only 6 hours sleep in the last 36 hours had me worn out and I couldn't have posted anything in here even if I had've wanted to as it wouldn't have made any sense probably. 
 
Now for the petition: 
 
#PublicHealthTransparencyNow: 

With the rapidly increasing COVID-19 cases, particularly in Ontario and Quebec, and the lack of appropriate leadership in these provinces, residents are becoming more frustrated. Policy implementation has been haphazard to say the least and without clear and transparent communication, the policies introduced are questionable at best.

Based on our combined frustrations, our team has collaborated with experts and members of the public to create petitions for both Ontario and Quebec asking the provincial governments for more transparency on public health data and their decision making processes.

We believe that clear, transparent and timely communication of evidence and its use in decision making is vital to earn public trust and establish a concerted effort among all residents to flatten the curve AGAIN. 

If you are an Ontario resident please sign and share the Ontario Petition.

If you are a Quebec resident please sign and share the QUEBEC petition.

THANK YOU!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who responded to our survey, particularly those of you who signed up to our volunteer database. We will be implementing your feedback and focusing our efforts on different tasks including a FAQ page for our volunteers to understand how our matching system works and revamping our website to reflect the amazing work that many of you have been involved with since the beginning! 

*NEW* We will also be highlighting those of YOU who have been part of the COVID-19 response within COVID-19 Resources Canada and with organizations where you were matched! Look out for emails from us with a form for you to fill out to be highlighted and featured in our upcoming bi-weekly updates and on our social media channels!

Thanks for staying involved! Please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts about how we can all continue to help with the COVID-19 response.


Sincerely,

The COVID-19 Resources Canada Team



#SantePubliqueTransparente: 
Avec l’augmentation rapide des cas de COVID-19, particulièrement en Ontario et au Québec, et le manque de gestion appropriée dans ces provinces, les résidents deviennent de plus en plus frustrés. L’implantation de politiques a été plutôt aléatoire et s’est effectuée sans communication transparente, ces politiques sont, au mieux, questionnables.

En se basant sur nos frustrations cumulées, notre équipe a collaboré avec des experts et des membres du public pour créer des pétitions pour l’Ontario et le Québec demandant aux gouvernements provinciaux plus de transparence concernant les données de santé publique et leurs processus décisionnels.

Nous croyons qu’une communication claire, transparente et opportune des évidences, ainsi que de leurs utilisations pour les prises de décision, est essentielle pour gagner la confiance du public et soutenir un effort concerté parmi tous les résidents en vue d’aplatir la courbe À NOUVEAU.

Si vous êtes résident de l’Ontario, s’il-vous-plaît signer et partager pétition ONTARIO. 

Si vous êtes résident du Québec, s’il-vous-plaît signer et partager pétition Québec.

So now let's see how far I can get with the headlines today before I fall asleep again or something else happens to stop me....
 

 
Accused of COVID price gouging, Calgary company pleads guilty and admits to 'grossly excessive' prices At least they were able to put a stop to it while the pandemic was still ongoing unlike the gouging during the '98 ice storm, which they only addressed so close to the end of it, it was pointless.
 
Terry Fox Run sees 20 per cent fundraising boost despite pandemic: organizers I guess when there's more people with nothing to do, there's more chance they choose to do things like this.

 

 

 
Ontario is pouring more than $500M into long-term care, but enhanced inspections aren't part of the plan Enhanced inspections aren't part of the plan eh? And they expect improvements without any inspections? Talk about dreaming in technocolour....
 
 
I like road trips more than resort trips so this would be right up my alley. 

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
Women are drinking nearly double during the coronavirus pandemic, study says Hey! Why not? We might as well enjoy ourselves or drink to forget what this virus has done to us, our families, our way of life, our livelihoods etc.... But I think we all pretty much have a reason to imbibe these days. If not for a way to forget at least maybe as a way of lightening the mood a bit. Maybe celebrating some of the small things in life, since we're officially forbidden to celebrate the larger things like weddings, birthdays, holidays and the like....

 

 
Health Canada approves rapid COVID testing device as Canada braces for caseload spikes It's about frigging time considering they've been available since at least May.

Yup be the good little cogs in the economic engine's wheels and just live solely to make that engine function, forget your own lives and happinesses, so long as we can make that economic engine keep on chugging. Social gatherings aren't the only means it's spreading. Wherever people get together - whether that's at work, school, church, the movie theatres, bars, stores or restaurants the germ can pass from one person to another just by being in contact with them NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE OR THE SETTING (whether that's informal like at work or school or shopping, or informal like on a date at a movie or restaurant or bar, or close as in family functions). The sooner the bozo brains in power in this country can figure that out, the sooner we'll be able to get back to normal. Because then they'll realize the futility of forbidding or limiting social gatherings while trying to make everyone continue to go to school and work. So then if they want the economy to work and not fail they'll have to come to the realization they can't stop the disease by limiting social gatherings and so just let everyone resume their lives as per normal (but maybe with mask wearing & hand washing measures still in force), or they'll force an entire hard lockdown (maybe even more than before) to try to limit the spread of it, but it won't eliminate it altogether. But just limiting social gatherings isn't going to do much to cut down on the spread while everyone's still going to work and school. 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
Covid-Sniffing Robots Offer Testing Alternative I like the robot sniffers better than the dog sniffers, because at least the robots won't catch it and get sick too, like some dogs can.

 

Well if they're just going to keep releasing contradictory guidelines from one day to the next, maybe it's good they slow it down and maybe review previous guidelines issuances before releasing new ones.
 
New York Hotspots Hit 6.5% Positivity, Alarming Officials and Fueling New Tensions on Schools  Well with a population of almost 20 million in the state, a 6.5% figure of that population would alarm me too, considering in that state alone that would put it at over 1 million people who are testing positive with the virus.

 

Of course they'll say that because the mandate is to get as many people vaccinated as possible.
 

 
Scottish MP With Coronavirus Got Train To London And Back  Another case of do as I say and not as I do.

 
Ministers Ignored Plea To Lock Down London Because It's A Labour City, Hints Sadiq Khan This is one more proof that this "disease" is merely a political tool to be used to achieve certain goals that they wouldn't have been able to achieve without it in "normal times".

 
Trump Is 'The Largest Driver' Of COVID-19 Conspiracy Theories, Study Finds Really? Like what? Bleach injections cures it? Or what? Because most of what I've heard come out of his mouth sounded more like idiocies than conspiracy theories.

 

 

I don't think that should come as a surprise.
 
Your Intense Pandemic Dreams Might Be Helping You – Here's Why  Boy, I sure hope they're helping me because some of them are pretty scary or freaky at times too.
 
Doug Liman shooting pandemic thriller 'Lockdown' in Harrods with Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor  Aren't we all already living through enough of a lockdown thriller? I don't get why all the  TV shows and movie makers are rushing to make movies about lockdowns and pandemics now. I mean I for one when I watch something, it's to think about something else different for awhile rather than being constantly reminded of what I'm already living through.

Of course not because the authorities won't be finished achieving their goals of rejigging society, the economy, the currencies and amount of population on this planet.
 
Coronavirus updates: Cornell study calls Donald Trump biggest source of misinformation; Moderna vaccine won't come before spring 2021 Now that I believe. I guess the other journalist can't tell the difference between misinformation and conspiracy theories. 

 
 
 

 
No one wanted to travel with me, so I went on vacation with a total stranger I guess some people like to live dangerously. That's all I can say about that one.

 
 
Paris bars face possible closure as virus patients fill ICUs Like I said above it's not only the bars and social gatherings where the virus is spreading, it's wherever there are gatherings of any type, whether that family, bar, restaurant, work, play or school.

Like I said, cogs in the economic machinery. That's all we are. They don't care about our health, or mental wellbeing at all. All they care about is we work and keep that economic engine chugging along.
 

 

That's really awesome of them! I hope those lucky kids appreciate those desks!
 

 

 
The President Contracting COVID-19 Is A Major National Security Crisis As far as Americans are concerned EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS A MAJOR national security crisis! So why would this be any different?

 
Chinese state media mocks Trump's positive virus test: 'Paid the price for his gamble to play down' pandemic  China should pay the price for unleashing the pandemic on the world to start with.

 
Trump COVID infection thrusts world in uncharted territory OMG Talk about the media making mountains out of molehills..... 

 
 

How? By forbidding people to breathe? Because I don't see how things can be stricter than lockdowns when it comes to this virus. The only thing left to do would be to forbid people to breathe at all. That way there's no danger of transmission from person to person, as there are no more persons to transmit it.
 

 

 
 
 
'Magical Disney experience' going away? What Disney's layoffs mean for theme park guests See what you've got to do in order to keep your parks open is make it look like visiting the park is nothing but drab and dreary drudgery and hard work. Then the gov't will be glad to let you keep it open as they only insist on closing fun things. If it's not fun, then it can stay open.

Sounds like what a lot of single people and widowed elders went through and are going through due to lockdowns.
 

 
Anyhow going to leave it here for now. Lots more where that came from, coming up again soon. In the meantime take care and stay well.
