US past the breaking point in many areas where too many are sick to treat so hospitals are turning away or giving them oxygen to take home and hope for the best with. As a result lethality of the virus is creeping up. Nearing 2% now, and likely to go higher as the month wears on. Late Nov was the breaking point for the US being able to handle the crisis with our medical infrastructure. Despite COVID surging out of control, holiday shopping and travel is still a go for most of the US.

Still pulling for a 50% population wipeout
Even if just America
Maybe those 70 million votes who voted wrong? That'd be a start

Had a coworker that was almost set up with this, as long as she could give herself shots and work an oxygen machine they were going to send her from ICU to home. Wound up not happening thank goodness. My mom with Covid caused double pneumonia was also told there was nothing they could do and sent home.

Unreal with 9 months to prepare for this so many places still lack the means to deal with it.

Test completed. It was the saliva test, which was nice. I was dreading having something shoved into my brain through my nose. Now we wait. I'll know Sunday at the earliest. Until then it's sit around the house and worry, which is mostly how we spend our time anyway. Yaaaayyyy The swab test isn't as bad as people make it out to be, just have to hope you've got a good gag reflex I guess for the throat bit. Saliva test is sweet and easy, here you go good sir or madam, here is a beaker of my juices that could or could not be swimming in covid. Ha

And Rudy in the hospital now to keep his ghoul ass alive while the normal people die.
He meet with Michigan, Arizona and Georgia representatives over the last week speaking for hours to each indoors with many not wearing masks.

My girls have another cold which means they miss school and pre school, which is an enormous pain in the ass... Especially considering there is zero covid in the community.

So after a years of pumping up Operation Warp Speed and promising 300 million vaccines by the end of the year, turns out Trump plan was half-assed and massive batch failures on production (90% rejection rate) means instead of 300 million the US will only have 40 million vaccines ready. Also seeing supply shortages now as no one actually planned for the logistic side of things. Likely Biden will overhaul the entire system in his early days in office.

Alberta broke more records this weekend. Go us!
People took to the malls in droves, worship services and other holiday festivities so by end of next week or week after our single day numbers should be closer to 3000.
Our government is going to be forced to shut everything down (including Christmas) because we are a bunch of morons who complain about our rights being taken away when we can't obviously do what's best for the common good without them forcing us to. We call it oppression when it is simply inconvenience. We are selfish and a little stupid.
Many younger people who tested positive for the virus have taken to social media explaining that just because they are considered 'recovered' that is far from the truth and that they are now dealing with other issues. They are trying to make people understand that recovered just means they didn't die...yet. One is a guy a went to high school with who has no underlying health issues and is a gym nut and he now says he can't even go up or down stairs without losing breath. He has heart and lung issues stemming from it and has lost all sense of smell or taste.

Lung scarring is pretty serious but considered part of that whole young people do not have problems from COVID stuff.

The Queen is apparently going to get the jab , but it'll be made public afterwards.
I mean it's public she's getting it, so what difference does it make whenever she gets it? AHH part of me is hopeful now the flag waving idiots of our population will take the vaccine, should they see Queen Liz take it.

Good news RT.
Saw this posted as a means to get through to the Neanderthals here and thought I would share:
Meanwhile in Canada 🇨🇦 “How can a disease with 1% mortality shut down Canada?
There are two problems with this question,
1) It neglects the law of large numbers, and 2) It assumes that one of two things happen; you die or you are 100% fine.
Canada has a population of 37,742,154. If one percent of the population dies, that's 377,422 people dead.
Three hundred thousand people dead would monkey wrench the economy no matter what. That more than doubles the number of annual deaths all at once.
The second bit is that people keep talking about deaths. Deaths, deaths, deaths. Only one percent die! Just one percent! One is a small number! No big deal, right?
What about the people who survive?
For every one person who dies:
- 19 more require hospitalization - 18 of those will have permanent heart damage for the rest of their lives - 10 will have permanent lung damage - 3 will have strokes - 2 will have neurological damage that leads to chronic weakness and loss of coordination - 2 will have neurological damage that leads to loss of cognitive function
So now all of a sudden, that "but it's only 1% fatal!" becomes:
- 377,422 dead - 7,171,009 hospitalized - 6,793,588 people with permanent heart damage - 3,774,215 people with permanent lung damage - 1,132,265 people with strokes - 754,843 people with muscle weakness - 754,843 people with loss of cognitive function
This is what the folks who keep on about "only 1% dead, what's the big deal?" don't get.
It's not just 1% dead. Imagine the cost to our country, Imagine the clogged hospitals. Imagine all the loved ones who die or suffer health effects the rest of their lives.
So please:
- wear your mask (and OVER your nose and mouth please) - wash your hands regularly - stay 2m apart.
We can beat this Canada!”

I think the better message to get through to people is COVID leads to permanent sexual dysfunction in some cases. Screw all this talk of saving lives, show guys being sad about their small pepes that no longer get hard and you will get people wearing masks.

My folks just called to tell me they've been feeling under the weather today. This comes after my dad's boss was just confirmed to have the virus. They're heading to the ER either today or tomorrow to confirm if what they have is indeed Covid.

Thank god. The reason it is happening is in some COVID results in a shit load of small blood clots. Basically a cytokine storm triggers and the body starts to attack itself lupus style throwing out clots and other shit. It is what also causes the pus to build up in the lungs. This is why it turns out arthritis drugs are effective at preventing the damage COVID does as they prevent the cytokine storm from starting.

So the US decided repeatedly not to buy the vaccines that it claimed would be available by early next year. We have enough to vaccinate the rich and powerful but that is it.

First vaccines were applied today to people, actually got a tear from me today. Absolutely amazing to see, more so hilarious and heartwarming was one of the first to get a vaccine was a bloke called William Shakespeare (throw in the god awful puns and that) but blimey, it's actually here.
