Coronavirus

[The Nature Boy]

That’s right, go back to the ethnic slurs when all else fails. Look these people sequenced the virus and gave the world what they need for the mRNA vaccines. 2 blocks up the road from my apt, there’s an industrialist Asian gent sequencing rolexes, do I call them China watches!?!? No! I wear them proudly! Give credit where credit is due!!!

Even more sideways news. Did the Thanksgiving travel scare actually cause a surge?

Did Thanksgiving Travel Cause COVID-19 Surge? Experts Say Results Are Mixed

Data show a surge in virus transmission in some areas. Doctors, local health departments and others in the community talk about what they are seeing, and what are they are worried about.

10,000 deaths a day in the world that are due to covid19 and a year ago there were none.

I think this is actually STN's point (at least one of them). A year ago there were no deaths, and a year from now (hopefully) there will not be any more. But for the rest of his long list of sobering deaths, these tragedies, which many can be considered on par with COVID, have been statistics for many years prior and will continue to be for many many years to come, long after COVID becomes a movie or best selling novel.

I consider all that is COVID to be a terrible tragedy in our world's history, but at times I can't help but question what seems to be a disproportionate response when measured against how we have addressed those other calamities.

Meaning: rallies = more COVID

Yet another Democrat hypocrite is in the news. Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo tweets for all of her constituents to stay home then goes out to wine bar:

Democratic governor encourages people to stay home, gets caught out at wine bar

The governor of Rhode Island is getting some backlash this week after she was photographed at a wine and paint night just days after she had discouraged inessential activities.

This is so unfair. My italiana grandmother used to give us red wine to fight a cold.

This second paragraph is so true. It makes no sense. Bending to the peer pressure and the PC police and virtue signaling has become more important than doing what’s right. What about all the poverty these politicians are creating by destroying small businesses all over the country.

According to the science it’s not restaurants, bars, or gyms. As far as where the virus came from that’s easy. China, more specifically Wuhan China.

Really, reading this thread they all had me convinced it was Trump who started this virus.
He not only started it but managed to convince countries like the UK, Belgium, Italy, Spain to mismanage it even worse than the US, I guess he was instructing them daily and giving them pointers on how to fuck up.
Quebec must have kept their ears open also and I guess now Ontario has for some unknown reason started listening to him also.
Hight time they got rid of the prick, now Biden can take all the credit for Warp speed and Biden’s press conferences of challenging everyone to wear masks seems to be working, wait no the virus is skyrocketing and killing even more, it is waiting for Trump to be out and then you will see a miraculous turn around within days that Biden takes the helm.

Yes, Trump has said it a thousand times.

I understand that whatever Trump says, you repeat it. Hope you haven't bought too much bleach?

I think you are too pessimistic. The virus will be gone at noon of January 20th sharp.

C'mon sene, your better than that. Trump has nothing to do with it. Wuhan China was where it all began. A quote from a news organization you should be familiar with:

Wuhan, the original epicenter of China's Covid-19 outbreak, wants tourists to come back​

US has its worst day yet, with more Covid-19 cases and deaths than at any stage of the pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has brought countries to a standstill. In many places, as countries reopen, Covid-19 cases are on the rise. Follow here for the latest.

I tend to agree. Perhaps the one word you may have added is “... anymore”. it no doubt started there, but I personally notice a high degree of social distancing compliance in most public places I’ve been to, both in Canada and the US. However, where I noticed most abided by health protocols earlier in the year when at home or how they interacted with friends and family, I now observe that that has gone to shit. People say one thing, but seem caveat it with myriad of exceptions. X-mas and New Years will be a shit show, and no government closures or lockdowns will stop it, but it plays well in the news.

An interesting quote from Ontario’s Barney Rubble: “The trend just continues to grow, no matter what we’re doing,” Ford acknowledged at a news conference Thursday.

Doug Ford is under fire after delay in further COVID-19 restrictions

By leaving Ontarians in suspense on his next moves to combat “concerning” rises in COVID-19, Premier Doug Ford is delaying broader lockdowns and setting the stage for a weekend of frantic holiday shopping that could fuel the spread of the virus, critics say.

I hope: you are not serious? It's a sarcasm, isn't it?

Trump Predicted ‘Covid, Covid, Covid’ Would End After The Election. It's Worse Than Ever

"That's all I hear about now… 'Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid.' By the way, on November 4, you won't hear about it anymore."

This week saw even more high-profile Republicans announce that they were leaving the GOP, including former McCain campaign chief Steve Schmidt. But should we really be welcoming these people with open arms? Have they really seen the error of their ways? Farron Cousins explains why skepticism for these individuals is absolutely necessary.

I think he was talking about the worst Virus ever, named Trump.

Lying scumbag Fauci is at it again.
He claimed to have personally taken a trip to the North Pole to vaccinate Santa Claus and measure his efficacy so that children all over the world can have presents.
Seems similar to the fairy tale he was spewing about masks not too long ago lol.
Biden I am sure will give him the title of Secretary of the Elves he is the right height after all.

United States has More Deaths From COVID-19 than Iceland.

Can you believe it? I can only blame Trump for this. (Insert a few bleach memes here).
I knew he was responsible for getting us involved in Vietnam, the Korean War the Great Depression, the death of the Archduke and the French and Indian War but I didn’t know he did this too.

Quebecers are frustrated at not being able to celebrate Christmas with their family, many Quebecers are in a hurry to book a flight abroad, especially to the south, for the holiday season, according to travel agencies.

Last Saturday there were 12,000 Quebec travelers at the airport. They only think of themselves.

I find it a lot of misunderstanding and selfishness to come back with a sunburn.

Will they do quarantine on their return? not all of them are certain.

Meanwhile, American teenager Skylar Mack was sentenced to 4 months in prison for breaking the 14 day quarantine rule in the Cayman Islands to see her boyfriend's jet ski competition. Now her family is looking for Trump to help bail her out. This is the snowflake generation, which believes that when you fuck up and are caught, you should be able to say you are sorry and move on with no punishment- no harm, no foul, once you sincerely apologize. But that's just not the way things work, so I think this young cutie will just have to do her time:
