Still dealing with the fallout of the freezer thaw up today. Thankfully, I'm getting near the end of it, I think or at least hope. Today's chore, was dealing with the colossal amount of pots, pans & casserole dishes used during all that cooking. Each night I put as much as I could in the dishwasher with the rest of the day's dishes to wash, but because some pots and pans are huge (take up almost 1/4 the room in the bottom rack) and don't always come clean the first time around in the dishwasher and so need to go in again sometimes, it got to the point where I had a lot of accumulated large pots, pans & casseroles to either wash or rewash. So I did that today as I had no more cooking to do, but I did have a ton of raspberries to try to salvage. So I decided to make an ice cream mix, loosely based on this recipe: Raspberry Ice Cream , so that when the churn bowl is sufficiently frozen I can churn it into ice cream later on. Now that we have room in the freezer for it.
I am a lot less tired and frazzled today too. Having less to do, and more time to relax, so I've been busy browsing the net and gathering info on COVID19 and the fallout from it. All I can say at this moment in time is I've finally discovered what this whole thing is about all along. That will be revealed probably in the post about Bill Gates and his machinations behind this whole thing. It will be an eye opener for those who are unaware. Believe me. And none of it will be drawn from "conspiracy theorists" websites - it will all be from actual bonafide websites, like his own foundation's, news stories, patent office files, WEF and IMF's websites as well. Then we'll finally know the truth behind all of this and what's really going on. So here's hoping I have the time to draw it altogether into a post for this blog, in the near future.
That being said, I'm going to try to plow through the headlines links here today without too many outbursts and rants on them, if I can resist it.... So try to keep pace... 😉
Internet Was Not Under “Attack” During Global Outage, Says Cloudflare DNS; Sites & Services Starting To Stabilize – Update Was this COVID related? As in, too many people on the net all at the same time?

Dexamethasone's Covid-19 Benefits Confirmed, Reduced Death Risk by 36% among Patients on Ventilator Support At least something is helping. Too bad the percentage wasn't a lot higher though.
Coronavirus: The slow death of the American all-you-can-eat buffet Maybe that's a good thing. It'll help shrink waistlines and improve on their health.
'I thought I would be safe,' says personal trainer who spent weeks in coma due to COVID-19 I dunno.... but his name gives me the creeps. The last time I saw that name he was being released from a psych ward, and we were told his name was changed to protect him. Protect him, after him ate that kid on the Greyhound Bus! Like someone like that should be protected to begin with! Anyhow I hope this guy and that guy aren't one & the same because if they are, someone should've pulled the plug on his ventilator and let him die. Sorry, about that. I couldn't resist the rant.
Dozens of babies infected by coronavirus in Texas as state struggles to contain the spread So much for the "kids don't get coronavirus" line.
Canadians are reluctantly wearing masks as support for mandatory masking climbs The health authorities in Canada are bassackwards and stupider than a bucket of shrimp. These measures should've been taken in the beginning before it started spreading like crazy!
Melbourne Man Travels 32 Kms for the Perfect Butter Chicken, Fined for Violating Lockdown I guess when you have a hankering for something and it's strong enough, even a $1,600 fine won't deter you. I hope he enjoyed the meal because it seems it wound up being a really expensive one.
U.S. reports more than 70,000 new coronavirus infections for second day in a row Wow! Just wow! That's a lot of infections in one day. At this rate the whole entire population of the US will have had it in less than a year's time! Then they won't need the much delayed and long sought after vaccines!
Mistrust of a Coronavirus Vaccine Could Imperil Widespread Immunity Maybe there wouldn't be any mistrust of it, if certain individuals and organizations stayed out of it altogether. Didn't fund it, didn't have anything at all to do with it. But with the Gates Foundation, who is intricately linked with the WEF (World Economic Forum) and the IMF (International Monetary Fund) - in fact he might even be part of the BIS (the Bank of International Settlements - the ones that control all the banks in the world and is privately owned by 21 of the richest people in the world - and it wouldn't surprise me to know Gates is one of those 21 people). There's a book that I wanted to recommend to everyone to read called The Octopus of Global Control to understand the complexity of the issue to do with philanthropist organizations so you could have it pretty much all figured out about what's going on and how things work. How they have their tentacle into everything and how that all works. Maybe you can find it on the net.
Underground parties continue to dismiss social distancing rules Which is partially to blame for the resurgence going on everywhere.
FOX 35 INVESTIGATES: Questions raised after fatal motorcycle crash listed as COVID-19 death I don't know if this is a new one, or the one that happened back in February or March, that the hospital listed as COVID related so they could get more funding for the hospital. But anyhow if it's another one, it's not the only one.
Hong Kong leader says coronavirus now spreading 'out of control' So I guess it's not just the US & Brazil where this is happening. It's happening in a country that it's citizens are habituated to wearing masks because of the smog problems there, but it's still getting out of hand.
South Africa is struggling with Covid-19 because its leaders want to emulate the “First World” They're emulating the wrong people, they should be emulating the 3rd world countries on their continent, because they're the ones who have it under control, because they closed their border to all travellers when they first heard about the virus being out there, and didn't let anyone in. They did it the "old school way", which turns out that it was the right way! The way I've been saying it should've been handled all along and the way it is laid out in our constitution for the handling of such situations. The fact that those guidelines were flouted and caused all this sickness and death and collapse of the economy is enough to charge all the idiots at helm with treason, crimes against humanity and to hang them, because the health authorities knew it was being handled wrong but continued on with the charade anyhow. I know numbnuts Trudeau has a hard time reading grade 2 literature so we can't expect him to understand what it says in the constitution about quarantines and such, but there must be someone in the Liberal party that knows how to read and understand that, that is capable of translating it to the infantile mind he possesses.
Coronavirus: Florida sheriff releases footage of people flouting social distancing rules at large street party It's called quarantine fatigue and being fed up to the eyeballs with authorities trying to control every aspect of our lives. I'm not a young adult anymore but even I feel like that too.
Reports: White House blocked CDC Director Redfield and other officials from testifying on school reopenings Who cares whether he testifies or not? He's the one that was hiding the fact that COVID was in the US since January, by writing everything up as the flu as per a previous testimony given to Congress - I have a link to that and some of the transcript on my blog, if you're interested. Then when it was impossible to hide it any longer he demanded that all deaths be written up as COVID deaths or COVID related to cut down on time spent writing death certificates and incentivized hospitals to basically connect everything (including motorcycle deaths too apparently) as COVID deaths in order for them to get an extra $20,000 per claim for the hospital (allegedly to cover things like PPEs & ventilators etc - whether they were needed for the patient or not). I have a link to that 7 page document in a post on my blog somewhere, that you can download and read for yourself. So whatever he says is probably going to be one big stretch of the truth or an outright lie altogether. So who cares? Maybe that's why he was blocked because they already know that.
Leaky border: Tourists and quarantine cheats threaten Canada amid U.S. COVID-19 surge No kidding. Given that we rarely ever see any foreign license plates around anymore, when we do see one it sticks out like a sore thumb. So NY license plates in parking lots are pretty easy to spot, as are VT license plates. We've seen a couple in local shopping center parking lots. I assume if they were parked in the parking lot they were inside one/some of the stores that parking lot belongs to, so that being the case the local clients of those stores are going to be exposed to whatever germs they're carrying. Given the explosion of cases in the US, I don't think it's right that Customs Canada allows these people into Canada, at least not yet.
Montreal Improv closes its doors for good due to COVID-19 financial hit I guess aspiring theatre arts students aren't going to have any venues to go to audition at to use their improv acting skills, anymore. For the amount of actual actors being turned out in Montreal, I'm not sure that matters much, in the grand scheme of acting.
Quebec's new mask rule met with co-operation, and a few noisy protests Because of the difficulty in finding masks and the costs of them when we do, that's made us plan our outings carefully, trying to pack in as many chores and things we had to do in one day, so that we use only 1 mask each to get as much done as possible with that 1 mask. Otherwise we'll be forced eventually to wear those big bulky P100 rubber breather masks we have, that I have a feeling is way more uncomfortable than the surgical masks are and probably a lot hotter as well. Though they not only provide others protection from us, but provide us protection from others as well.
COVID-19 Symptoms: These Three Skin Rashes Can Be a Sign of Coronavirus Yet more potential symptoms associated with COVID19. Pretty soon I think we'll be able to associate everything with it, health and real world wise.
Coronavirus: Lesser-known symptoms that could be linked to Covid-19 The delirium symptom I think is more related to a high fever. Lots of people (COVID related or not) who have high fevers experience episodes of delirium. So when you see or hear someone who is delirious and has a fever, you'd better attend to them quickly and try to bring their fever down via whatever means possible from fever reducing medicine, to tepid baths (if you're able to get them into a bathtub filled with slightly warm water) to ice packs on their chest and foreheads. But generally speaking someone who's experiencing delirium from a fever is now in dangerous territory and needs their fever reduced as soon and quickly as possible without causing cardiac arrest (suddenly being too cold as in an ice bath can cause a shock that causes cardiac arrest). So try not to go there all at once, you can maybe get there, by gradually lowering their temperature and getting them used to the coldness gradually. But delirium is not a symptom of COVID19, but rather of the high fevers associated with it.
COVID-19 New Symptoms: Mouth Rashes, Clinically Known As Enanthem, Listed As Possible Symptom for Coronavirus, Reveals Study Even more possible symptoms.... I'm just wondering if they're really related to COVID19, or if they're related to other diseases that they're trying to pass off as COVID19 in order to get more funding (as explained above).
CDC: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients most likely to show these 3 symptoms Meaning these are the 3 most common symptoms in those who wind up in the hospital. So these are the ones you ought to be most concerned about.
Bangladesh Approves Late-stage Trial of China's Sinovac Covid-19 Vaccine I wish countries and pharmaceutical companies would stop using 3rd world people as their guinea pigs and try this stuff out on themselves and their own populations first before injecting it into 3rd world patients.
Decks, fences and other pandemic projects lead to local lumber shortage Yet another shortage caused by the pandemic. Who'd have thought? Just like who'd have thought there'd be a freezer (appliance) shortage at stores in the Montreal area due to the pandemic? But there is. There wasn't one freezer to be found anywhere despite all our best efforts and those of a few others who called hither and yon on our behalf. The soonest we could've had one, apparently was in mid August or early September (and that was best estimates, no guarantees). So it's good we got our freezer going again. So given all the time everyone has on their hands to get their long planned projects done, it doesn't surprise me that there's a lumber shortage. It might also have to do with mill workers too and them being off as well. Almost every aspect of our lives seems to be affected by this virus one way or another.
SIT DOWN MEAL Disney World bans eating and drinking while walking after guests break face mask rules
Global frustration: Online sentiments about COVID-19 have turned from fear to anger Because we realize now, that we're being duped, but most people have no idea why yet. I do and will divulge in the Gates post coming up as soon as I can find time to work on it. Hopefully that'll be soon.
One less worry: Mosquitoes can’t transmit COVID-19 to humans My son asked me this recently and I said I didn't think so, because it's a respiratory illness and not a blood borne illness. Glad to know I was right.
Florida reports over 10,000 new cases of COVID-19 for sixth day in a row Wow.... Incredible.
‘You Can’t Fix It By Pieces’: Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez Wants ‘One Plan In Place’ To Fight Coronavirus That all depends on how badly things are shattered. If it's shattered you have to fix it by pieces otherwise you won't be fixing it at all. And from what I can see here north of your borders, things are pretty badly shattered. The country and all their various politicians are so dysfunctional it's a wonder it's one cohesive country and not a bunch of tiny city states and state state countries. No one can agree on anything there, it seems. So when you manage to get all 50 governors, all the mayors of the various big cities in those states and all the federal government reps to agree on a single course of action is when you'll be able to fix it. But right now you're in 50 if not more pieces that needs to come together, kiss and make up and start to agree on things together as a cohesive group.
Coronavirus: Is it an act of God? Oh oh.... I bet there's a lot of Americans out there hoping and praying their health insurance companies don't start claiming it's an act of God and so stop covering all medical expenses related to it. So for their sake, I hope it's not considered to be an act of God.
Pandemic throws lives - and waistlines - into flux Quitting smoking and then learning how to cook properly from a properly trained chef (former girlfriend of my son's), is what threw my waistline into flux and it never recovered from it. It's still in flux 11 years later. 😋

Isolating the Elderly Is Bad for Their Health Which Einstein finally figured this out? And how much of a grant was he given before he could? This should be a freaking no brainer to anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together. So why did they force the elderly to go through such things for the last few months anyhow?
Contact Tracing Might Become Cops’ Newest Surveillance Too Oh goody! Yay! Just what we want! An unbridled police state that can check on anyone, anytime, anywhere, for any reason...
