Hey, look, just as "predicted" by many other nurses speaking out during the pandemic, that they really were killing people for profit. another Nurse blows the whistle (you might say it's easier / less risky after the whole thing is basically over) :

Archived in case it gets taken down

I wonder if these stories are going to hit the masses eventually. What an entire shitshow.

I don't even know what the general public thinks of COVID anymore. Formerly my social media was full of people screeching about how we're all going to die but then everything switched gears when the George Floyd protests started and I had to dip out for my sanity because people are unhinged.

I don't know if they've changed their stance on China flu or if they never really believed it was a big deal in the first place and were just getting their rocks off on not having to go to work and getting to boss people around while feeling morally superior about it.

IRL people are pretty much over it now here. Most people still wear the masks but not everyone, and very few people seem particularly scared anymore. I just want the damn bars to open here, but apparently that's not happening until the end of July

 

[FuckedUp]

You know, whenever I hear the term "new normal," especially when Cuomo says "safer normal" and shit, it reminds me of this book I read when I was 15 called Rash. If Current Year liberals read it, literally, and I'm not using hyperbole, literally the ONLY THING they'd find wrong with the world in the book would be the criminal justice system.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

I keep reading about "astronomical spikes" in Coronavirus cases, and mainstream reports are blaming it all on businesses opening up and lockdowns being lifted.

I see and hear no blaming of the morons rioting and looting en masse, though. Of fucking course.

I just don't give a shit anymore. The widespread rioting threw all of the lockdown stuff OUT of the fucking window.

Documentary on this :

Going from low flow oxygen to treat mild dypsnea straight to intubation, chemical paralysis and heavy sedation is bat shit insane. It's drilled into us over and over that intubation and ventilation is the LAST option for the treatment of respiratory failure. Having an ET tube stuck down your throat means you require large doses of IV Propofol and Midazolam which crashes your blood pressure and fucks your kidneys. To treat the side effects of sedation we give Inootropic medications, which flogs your heart and gives you blood clots. Ventilation will also expose a patient to cross infection with bacterial pneumonia presenting in ALL patients ventilated for more than a few days. These cunts need to be charged with murder.

Cringy video, based comments:

Yahoo! reports a sudden surge in Coronavirus cases, and of course blames it on Memorial Day beach visits. At least the comments and dislikes have the balls to correct them.

Who cares if more faggots died of corona chan, 100% of All of Humanity is fucking shit! (yes, this includes me)
Humans are a fucking disease to nature and our amazing planet, so it's nice that nature does some spring cleaning of its own to get rid of the pest infestation.

Heyo. Spain news aren't too interesting today. Circus still circus and all that but no real apike outside of a slightly worrisome incident in Basque Country. Cadiz faring better than average which is good, catalonia under performing, fuck them. Madrid severely under performing, no duh, fuck them harder. And yep. Mostly ok. Shit's prsctically already on the "new normal." Economy looking rough with IBEX falling again but small biz has been picking up slack well enough for now so it seems we're gonna fair alright economically for now.

Only fun news is the spanish left has sent out a document supporting biology and STEM and rejecting LGBTQWERTYUIOP trans bullshit. And the faggots are REEING hardcore.

Críticas de organizaciones LGTBI contra un "argumentario tránsfobo" del PSOE contra el activismo 'queer'

Dos organizaciones de colectivos LGTBI han cargado contra el PSOE y pedido una "reunión urgente" con el Gobierno tras difundirse un argumentario socialista...

www.20minutos.es

And btw I say the left because the argument was published by PSOE but the minister being pointed as the author is Podemos. So both big left wing parties just bitchslapped these guys, the right didn't even need to intervene. This is absolutely beautiful. Welcome to spain. Fuck 3rd wave bullshit! Lol.

It's difficult because the constitutions in both America and Canada guarantee some degree of personal liberty, including the right to peaceful assembly. These rights are more ingrained in our respective cultures than in most other cultures worldwide, though obviously to a greater degree in the US than in Canada, and the public places a great deal of value on those rights and its a constant fight to keep big government types from infringing on them.

I don't know how it works in the US, but there is a clause in the Canadian Charter or Rights and Freedoms that allows parts of the constitution to be suspended if it is in some way rationally related to a pressing public need. Government legislation that breaks the constitution regularly gets challenged and struck down in court when the government is unable to show a rational, logical connection between the legislation and a pressing public need. In this way, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms acts as a way for the judicial branch to keep the legislative and executive branches of the Canadian government and provincial governments in check. There are a wave of supreme court cases coming up later this summer challenging various measures put in place over the course of the pandemic, including one in my province which only allows residents of the island I live on the enter the island I live on, violating section 6 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which guarantees freedom of movement within Canada.

I don't know what particular country you live in, but in this part of the world the government has to tread carefully with regards to suspending personal liberties. I'd personally rather have those protections in place than suspend personal liberty because the health care system isn't competent enough to control who goes in and out of old folks homes where the vast majority of deaths have taken place in Canada.


I don't live in the US and honestly don't give a flying fuck about the US police or George Floyd, so don't take this as support for the protests or riots.

I have a strong feeling that the Superior and the Supreme Court will be JAMMED up full of these civil liberty cases. Indeed they can suspend certain parts of the constitution because of the aspect of having a "potentially greater" crisis at play, but they went really fucking far with these lock downs. Cases where I am at remained steadily the same over the course of the pandemic, we've had a few odd days where we've spiked to an additional 30-40 cases per day. On average though it's sat at the 15-20 cases per day margin, and the nursing home situation was just devastating, found out more about that from my buddy who is a nurse at the hospital on how all of that went down.

The death rate dropped like crazy though, outside of 1 death last week, no one is really dying from this thing. It's fucked up as well that Trudeau's stimulus for the small businesses only would of covered employers with payroll greater than 75k per month or something like that, despite that like 96.5% or so businesses in Ontario don't even generate that type of payroll. Kinda retarded too that the virtue signalling faggot is encouraging people to gather to protest, while still keeping the lock downs in effect, like pick a lane. I don't like how Doug Ford flip flopped on the protesting element while calling the open up people yahoos a month ago. I am also pissed off that he still has us on phase 1 while the rest of the province gets to go along with phase 2.

I just don't understand why they want to try to fire Canadians up so bad with this jogger bullshit, that's more of an American phenomenon. I only say that because I've lived in both countries and Canada handles it's low key racism a lot better. Considering this is the first time in our history we've done something like this, safe to say that when the next pandemic rolls around I don't think that the government is going to be able to go that far after all is said and done. I am just hoping for that vote of no confidence bid still, but seeing that the minority government is bed with the greens and the NDP that is going to be pretty unlikely. If only they could replace fucking Sheer and the PC's change their outdated model, maybe we can have a viable conservative government that functions a bit better here.

There are literally like 3,000 black people in my entire province and police have never shot one and they still had a protest here, though it was small and peaceful. It's completely retarded. It was 15 black people screaming at 800 white people through a megaphone.

So around Wal-mart and other grocery stores, I've seen a lot of them set up hazard tape to funnel people along a particular path to the entrance. This started quite a while ago but I never maid much attention until today.

I was buying some stuff, and as I was leaving, started heading toward the "entrance" automatic door, which in this case was right next to the exit. The Wal-Mart greeter told me in no uncertain terms that I HAD to use the exit door. Now I'm not the type to hassle a wagie who's probably going to be fired and then kicked in the balls if a hall monitor manager finds out he "let" someone use the wrong door, so I basically said alright whatever and went to the "right" door.

What I want to know is... what's the point of this? Doesn't a narrower path in and out just squeeze more people into a smaller space?

 

[DrearyDoomguy]

Wait about a week and a half.

The protests and riots have been going on a little over two weeks already, so I think we're at that point already.

What I want to know is... what's the point of this? Doesn't a narrower path in and out just squeeze more people into a smaller space?

Most retail outlets are using that method to be able to count how many people are going in and out. I don't know if your local Walmart is enforcing max occupancy, but having a designated entrance and exit makes that easier.

 

[That_Guy]

The one here is doing that - One person can count people going in and out at the same time. The entrance path is also routed too keep people out of the parking lot.

 

[Carnavoyeur]

I don't know if we're going to see a spike in cases due to the protests, considering tons of the protesters being young and more likely to have mild cases. And a lot of them may not even get tested--I think it was in the riots thread that there were people on twitter asking about getting tested and having their addresses and shit on file and being connected to the protests.

 

[DrearyDoomguy]

Seemed like as the demonstrations transitioned from riots to generally peaceful protests, more middle-aged/boomers joined in. Maybe it's just the states reopening, but if that were the case I figure we would have seen cases spike a bit sooner. It's probably a combination of the two. I think a rise in cases due to lifting of lockdowns was inevitable, but it wouldn't have spiked like it did without the conditions we saw for the past two weeks. Being young doesn't make you immune to contracting the disease, it just means you're probably not going to die from it.

 

[Meat Poultry Veg]

In practice, KKKalifornia businesses are not really enforcing the mask "laws." Costco is the exception thus far.

I know I've posted this card before, but I'm going to try presenting it to at least 3 Costcos. Will report on whether or not it works. (And just so I don't get mobbed by the Twitterati, I won't videotape the event nor will I make a fuss if rejected).

Here's the sequel to the Magic ADA Card. TL;DR--they fucking work. OK, maybe I oversold it a tad, and I've yet to try it in a Costco. Here are other places I've tried it:

• Big 5: Worked. However, they tried to keep me stuck in the entrance and offered to get the item I wanted (guns, BTW, which were picked clean already). I wasn't interested so I left without any drama.
• Baskin Robbins: Cashier girl tried to stop me. Handing the card, her NPC script encountered a fatal exception and then she treated me like a normal person.
• Other: Still many places don't really give a shit if you're maskless so I didn't need to play the card.
