Yeah, here in CA at the beginning. Now there are northern/rural counties that are breaking free. Coastal CA from Marin County down are very blue and they believe our state's fuhrer. But there are many individual exceptions to that. Our area is a resort area and has been hit very hard economically. The only newspaper I read online, a weekly thing, has been unrelenting in their criticism of the county "health director". Yet the "board of supervisors" still supports this clown, saying there'll be 33,000 cases when we haven't even 1% of that number.
Article makes a big deal about 300,000 dead soon. In other words, just under two days' deaths world wide from all causes. When things are put into perspective you see the truth. But the MSM just keeps fearmongering. Things are heating up in Russia. Believe the situation will get much worse there very soon, as the ChiCom Flu races through those apartment blocks.

If you want me to learn how to count to ten then get the English to start driving on the correct side of the road. That's the only deal you're going to get.

I'm still trying to get people to cooperate on the most basic of the supposedly universal language of maths and you want me to get them to understand why their driving conventions are shit?

Pictures of Riot police beating people up doesnt enrage germans, so its not as critical as in other countries.
'Thats always a good idea, but there is no storm coming. people are just tired of the lockdown and there isnt realy a reason to keep it up.

You can go to the park but you can't visit your grandparents because the government can't monitor you to make sure you stay 2m apart from them. So glad we avoided a big state dystopia when that nasty commie Corbyn lost the election to nice libertarian Johnson. We sure dodged a bullet there.
Also why the government didn't lock down the borders at the start but instead locked the natives up their houses.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills listening to Raab. And the depressing thing is that most Brits seem to want more authoritarian measures and every other party and every journalist (apart from the honourable exceptions of Peter Hitchens and Brendan O'Neill) is complaining that the government didn't impose lockdown sooner, enforced it more harshly and kept it in place for longer.
I guess the only good thing about this shitshow is that if you look at the comments to the video people are highly critical of the lockdown. Still, the political and media class all seem to have decided it's the only viable policy and then anyone who dissents needs to be frozen out.

I never thought I'd see a statement so equaly extreme in both how reassuring and worrying it is. I knew germans had a real capacity to take draconian guvernmental action while giving far less of a shit than most countries. But I did not comprehend just how deep that rabithole goes. I'm impressed. And concerned.

He’s really not. His new executive order is Nursing Home Staff must be tested twice weekly. He’s attempting to blame shift and create reasonable doubt. He’s trying to create the narrative that Corona-Chan spread into the nursing homes because of the dirty dirty greedy employees. (Remember he already blamed it on the greed of the nursing homes. And only changed tactics when the nursing homes dumped the receipts of his orders and incompetence.)

I would be really interested, after this is all over, to know how many people went to illicit house parties during this thing.
Also, after months of insisting that anyone who didn't want to lock up the world's population for years on end was a monster who wanted to sacrifice grandmothers to Goldman Sachs, the mainstream media is now starting to question aspects of the lockdown -

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it's amazing how like a week and half ago Georgia was going to murder their entire population by doing some limited reopening, and now this is happening -

Here in spain we recently had an illicit Gypsy wedding ceremony and it was glorious. For those that don't know. Gypsy weddings are... Big. Like literal hundreds of gypsies broke quarantine for that shit. It was absolutely hilarious to see when the cops arrived to disperse them. This literal human sea of ignorance and stupidity just oh I wish I could find the video now. Point is, I don't really know. But if even over here we got a few cases with parties, and one of them that large, over there where people don't give a shit I'm expecting a lot more.

We watched it happen in real time. The rest of the world is just finding out because they thinking calling other people names is more important than understanding what's really going on.

It's because affluent urbanites are cucks who are scared of their own shadow. You think it's a coincidence that the two states with the most obedience contain the two biggest urban areas in the US?
*Edit* No new cases again here today. Only 14 active cases. Still just three dead. Government released projection back in late March/early April that showed in a best case scenario 30% of province gets infected and health care system gets overwhelmed by November. That didn't happen. Now they won't shut up about a second wave with no explanation of where it can even come from as we are and island and they have barred entry to everyone but residents and essential workers and everyone has to isolate for 14 days upon entering the province. They are scaling back the lockdown today, lifting the limit of gatherings like funerals from five to ten and allowing stuff like stand alone garden centres and golf courses to open. Of course, Wal-Mart has a garden centre of its own and they never placed any restrictions on what stores that were allowed to remain open could sell, so the opening of stand alone garden centres makes very little difference to your average person.
Hundreds of crab fishermen staged a protest at the union office today, not adhering to social distancing. The price of seafood is in the toilet due to the pandemic and to top it off, the government cut quotas and enacted trip limits of 1,500 pounds weekly. This means if you have a quota of 5,000 pounds of crab, you can't just go out and catch it all in one trip, you have to make four trips over four weeks, making the entire enterprise unfeasible because you still have to pay your crew and buy fuel for your boat and 1,500 pounds of crab will only gross you $4,530, barely covering the cost of a trip. So fishermen want the season to be called off this year and to be given money to sit at home. Under the legislation the fishermen should be fined, but government won't do it because they know it's a fucking powder keg and they'll end up kicking in the doors of the legislature lol. So the government got pretty publicly cucked by a bunch of fat old crab fishermen over the weekend and have shown they don't have the means or will to enforce the lockdown measures still in place. The entire thing basically just hinges on the honor system.
What a trash fire.

Welp. It finally happened. During phase 1 places like bars were supposed to still impose social distancing rules by separating tables and shit like that. Yeah I also think that made no fucking sense. Anyway. Bars in some areas have been model obedient places and done everything by the book. Bars in seville have said "social what?" And added more tables to take advantage of the flood of customers due to people wanting to go everywhere now they're not locked up. *sad trombone noises.*
Everyone's calling for lift to accelerate. Even though half of them are actually slowing it down compared with the gov guide (because fuck logical consistency) so unless we get hit with the mother of all spikes I expect the gov to stop caring and just throw a brick on the accelerator.

The computer literally only works on metric, then converts for the display. Because the programmers and physicists involved in the moon landing used metric, and then hid it, because they knew damned well how much imperial units suck.The Moon landings
Contrary to urban myth, NASA did use the metric system for the Apollo Moon landings. SI units were used for arguably the most critical part of the missions – the calculations that were carrie…
Ironically, using the Imperial System of units has caused average Americans to do much more math than they would've had they switched over to the Metric System.

Like their little toy rockets were comparable to a Saturn V. Which was SAE. The Douglas and Rockedyne engineers didn't speak WW2 loser.
