COVID19 Coverage

Continues....

July 31, 2020

I wasn't able to get much done on the computer today, because someone and I shan't name names, kept disconnecting the network.... Allegedly to chase down and eradicate a couple of viruses from the other computer and him not wanting the network on to expose the unprotected computer to even more viruses.  So as a result, that meant this computer couldn't get online either.

Nevertheless I did manage to do a cursory scan for today's headlines to do with the virus and I'm not sure I got them all, but I did get quite a few, so I shall try to get as much posted here as I can time permitting.

So here we go.....






Saudi Hajj coronavirus curbs mean 'no work, no salary, nothing'  Doesn't everyone in Saudi Arabia already get free money given to them? So if that's the case, even though he can't work, he should still be alright, no?

'My Tanzanian family is split over coronavirus'  Divisive views in the same family.

Coronavirus: 'Mum died while we were at dad's funeral'  Stories like this are always super sad. 

International students turn to food banks in lockdown  You'd think that them being international students that their parents who probably paid for them to be there, would be able to send them some money in order to buy food. I mean if you as a parent are rich enough to afford plane fare, tuition, rent and utilities on a room/flat/whatever in the city where the school is, that you'd also be rich enough to afford a few hundred dollars extra a month at least until the pandemic is over with to feed your kid too. 








Good news prevails: 100 positive things that happened in 2020 (so far)  A little diversion. I'm sure we could all stand some, so enjoy.

COVID coping: In the pandemic, getting through the day feels like a project

U.S. records a coronavirus death every minute as total surpasses 150,000   This is very scary and very sad as well.

Bill Gates: Spread of 'outrageous' coronavirus video shows flaw in social media platforms I can't help it.... I can't. But I can't stand that lying finnagler at all. I've known about his lying BS since the late 70s early 80s when he stole Gary Kildall's CP/M operating system to sell it to IBM as their operating system for their early desktop computers, which he then renamed MS-DOS, and on it went from there, from that to basically "stealing" Apple's GUI (Graphic User Interface) to use for  Windows 3.1 and well on it goes. He does nothing, absolutely nothing, unless he stands to make a buck on it. And the reason he seems to be so vehement about anything at all that might detract people from his vaccines is because this was the pie in the sky wet dream of his, where he could supply 8 billion people world wide with a vaccine in return for payment of course. He's not just going to distribute 8 billion doses of vaccine for free.... No way, someone will have to pay for it, whether it's the governments themselves or the individual recieving the vaccine. That's for sure. But he's realized the logistics of that now and so instead of having his company do it all, he's investing in several other companies around the world - from which he'll reap profits on his shares. This is all about money and I think the reason he's so vehement about this video (which he was careful not to name but nevertheless was easy to find) is because I think he's afraid that a lot of people will believe it and opt for that treatment instead of the vaccines he's got tons of money already invested in. Just watch this video of him muted and watch his facial expressions and hand movements. He's worked up and angry. If he doesn't watch it, he'll have a heart attack (if he has a heart that is), because he's so angry. I guess I would be too, if I had billions invested in vaccines that I thought I'd make gazillions on once they were developed, but someone's trying to taking the air out of my balloon by promoting a much cheaper and older remedy that might even be as good or better than my vaccines I've been working on. I'd probably blow a few gaskets as well.

Dr Stella Emmanuel - DOCTORS, STOP BEING COMPLICIT; RISE UP! I do believe this might be the video or one of the ones he holds in vehement contempt.

DOCTORS SILENCED BY SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT COVID-19 AND HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE TREATMENT  Or perhaps it's this one....  I think it's more likely this one.  In any case, I know nothing at all about this drug in question, so can't even give an educated guess as to whether it might possibly work or not. I am just posting the information as I find it and it's up to the reader/viewer to make up their own minds. When I know something for a fact, I'm not afraid of posting it, like what I said about Bill Gates above, I stand by all of it, because it's all true. So I just pointed those facts out to you, in order for you to judge for yourself.

Mike Pence Met With Group Behind Viral Coronavirus Misinformation Video  With so much going on behind the scenes, with the money invested in producing a vaccine for this virus and all the people who have vested interests in those vaccines like Fauci, Gates, various members of the CDC and others, how can you trust it when one of those factions or laboratory involved with one of those entities declares something useless against the very thing they've sunk their life savings into combating via another method - namely a vaccine?  Because right now, I'm not so sure that that drug doesn't work, given the amount of doctors saying it does, versus the players named in this particular blurb, who all have their fortunes pinned to a viable vaccine instead. I know one thing for sure though. Gates is not, & never was a MEDICAL DOCTOR. Fauci is, but he's already been named to be a crooked, conniving, controlling, opportunist in the Plandemic video, who probably has no qualms about quashing anything that ruins his chances at making a gazillion dollars on something.

Dr. Fauci: Wear goggles or eye shields to prevent spread of COVID-19; flu vaccine a must If the Chinese Dr. in Wuhan didn't mention this, I'd think it was just another Fauci scam (because maybe he has shares in eye shields and goggles, who knows with him?) Because that Chinese Dr. mentioned it was being contracted via eyes too, I believe him. Trouble is though where do you get those face shields from? I'd much rather wear one of those than a mask any day, but I can't wear goggles because I also wear glasses and I'm afraid goggles (or at least all the ones I've seen) won't fit over my glasses.

Bill Gates on Elon Musk’s controversial coronavirus comments: Stick with electric cars and rockets   Hey Gates! What've you done that's so great????? Besides steal CP/M from Gary Kildall and Jobs's GUI????? Musk has to be the smartest person on the planet right now! Beside him you look like a total thieving dunce! That man Musk has to be light years beyond you in intelligence! You're too stupid to even read the daily case, death and recovery rate of the virus and realize it's nothing more than a bad cold or flu. At least Musk realizes it, and says it. You though Gates are so freaking idiotic you can't even figure that out without being told. I get it though. You want everyone to believe it's worse than it really is and to be terrified enough to succumb to getting vaccinated for it, as you have billions invested in those vaccines hoping to make gazillions from it. But not everyone is as stupid and as scared as you think they are!

Bill Gates: We will have a coronavirus vaccine, but the disease will keep coming back if there's a US 'leadership vacuum' I guess Trump doesn't want to play ball with the conniving "philanthropist" so he's sticking his nose where it doesn't belong now. Someone really ought to shut the gate on Gates. He's just getting really super annoying now, where he thinks he's the know-it-all of the world. When like I pointed out above Musk has probably more brains in a single cell in his body than Gates has in his whole body.

Why is the government insisting no one knew about asymptomatic spread of COVID-19?  Well given the news that came out recently about little kids, I think I know who those super spreaders and asymptomatic spreaders might be.... Take a look at that cute little guy holding your hand to cross the street with you....

9 Everyday Experiences You May Never Have Again Post Pandemic  And please explain to me precisely why you won't have those experiences ever again? Are you going to tell me that years after this virus has been eradicated we'll still be working from home, doing elbow bumps, not playing outside, not hugging, not meeting someone at a bar or just on a whim in person? So the human race is going to stay totally paranoid for the rest of humankind's existance? Seriously? I for one can't wait to get back to normal. To being in groups/crowds, to shaking hands, to hugging people, even to meeting strangers and talking to them face to face, to living life instead of being afraid of little thing and for not valid reason, other than "just because".

Euuuuuu that's just gross. Squalor like that should never be permitted in or anywhere near a hospital. Talk about sepsis and disease....

Sask. hockey teams' trip to Winnipeg tournament put 'entire safe restart of the province at risk': premier  Talk about exaggeration, I doubt it put the whole entire province at risk. Nothing like trying to make things seem worse than they really are. Huh? Somehow from what I can see, hear & read these days, that seems to be the whole reason for governments around the world's existance  - to make their population feel as bad and scared about everything as they possibly can.  This is just another fine example of that.

Canada urged to avoid 'vaccine nationalism' in race for COVID-19 cure Well if this isn't a case of "do as I say and not as I do" then I don't know what is, when the Americans are praising us for not being nationalistic and greedy with our vaccine, while that's all they're doing and being with their anecdotes and vaccines alike.  Leave it to Trudeau and he'll make sure even the ISIS members in Syria are inoculated before Canadians are. We'll be the last ones on earth to see a vaccine if we leave it to him and  Tam. She'll give it all to the Chinese first and he'll give whatever's left to the rest of the world including ISIS members, before he allows Canadians to get any.

I remember growing up, families bragging about buying a whole hog, a whole side of beef, or a standing beef to fill their freezers. With food regulations and meat prices colluding together to make such a thing almost impossible in the intervening years, this would be an awesome opportunity for anyone in the area with a large capacity deep freezer, now, that's for sure.
