A message from a journalist to all those who want to go out and protest against the lockdown:

More like now wanting to face reality an taking the wrong route to tackle the virus are more realistic reasons. Also the fact that both valued the economy higher than the deaths that the virus could incur, something that's backfiring hard as it does not, and will not solve the problem at all and just leads to prolonged lockdowns.

Disbelief could have played a part as well. That plays a big part in the Chernobyl documentary in the early stages of the disaster, simply not willing to belief the worst happened because they firmly believed it could not have happened. And those who knew how bad it could be didn't want to cause panic. That also played a role with covid19, the fear of causing panic (and crashing the markets). Treat the general population as ignorant and dangerous and they become ignorant and dangerous. Ignorance is bliss...

The media is also partly responsible for crying wolf over every little thing, blowing everything out of proportion, sensationalizing and constantly bombarding people with bad news. That breeds complacency and makes for a sluggish response for when something really bad does happen. Not to say that all the local bad things aren't terrible, it's that people are complacent that it won't happen to them, it's always somewhere far away. Like at the start, 99% of the population wasn't worried at all about Wuhan or the Diamond Princess, only when Europe started burning did it become a pressing matter.

Leaders are just humans with more ambition and responsibilities. One of the problems is this whole second term thing. Of course it's good to have a carrot for doing well the first term, but it distracts from what they should be focused on, the present. Trump was busy campaigning instead of looking into the evolving pandemic. The priorities are wrong, 1. Get re-elected, 2. Keep my money safe, 3. Keep the people safe.

Nice picture lol





Another dangerous video censored:

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/truth-tracker-plandemic-video-full-of-false-conspiracy-theories-about-covid-19-1.4935399

A documentary-style video called 'Plandemic: The Hidden Agenda Behind COVID-19' has been removed by social media platforms after peddling potentially dangerous conspiracy theories about the coronavirus pandemic.

The 26-minute video has reportedly been viewed millions of times across Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other websites despite its misleading claims, according to data from social media tracking tool BuzzSumo.

The video is said to be the first part of an upcoming documentary, according to California production company Elevate Films, which did not respond to CTVNews.ca's request for comment. It consists of an interview between filmmaker Mikki Willis, whose other videos highlight conspiracy theories, and Dr. Judy Mikovits, a former scientist at the National Cancer Institute in the U.S.

The documentary is about Mikovits' theories that the coronavirus pandemic was planned. In the video, she claims that the virus was created in a laboratory, that wearing masks actually makes people sick, and that flu vaccines increase people’s odds of contracting COVID-19. She also makes repeated accusations against Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the lead members of the Trump administration's White House Coronavirus Task Force.

No medical or scientific evidence exists to support these or any of Mikovits' claims in the video.

The right thing to do imo. This kind of social media stuff can be far more damaging than a couple hundred people protesting on the streets. It probably only fuels those protests.



Live senate hearing is on atm

Nothing new being said so far though, boring.

A railway ticket office worker has died with coronavirus after being spat at by a man who claimed he had Covid-19.

It was vitamin D deficiency /bad racist joke


Despicable and I hope they find a way to bring charges to the assailant. Here airport taxi drivers have died from transporting passengers home to self quarantine. Same thing, people not thinking things through. She should not have been on the concourse as a person at risk, same as sending people home to self quarantine without paying attention to how they get there without infecting anyone along the way.

Thats basically murder...  or something... manslaughter?

If you spit on someone, and get them infected and it kills them.
What the hell, hopefully its on tape, and that person can be arrested.

People should not be allowed to purposefully do this sort of thing.

She probably assumed she could work and be fine, and didnt account for a person, spitting her in the face or such.

Turkey is both in europe and asia (but only on Eurasia).

Spain has Ceuta in Africa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceuta

French Guiana is in South America and part of France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Guiana

The Falkland Islands are located close to South America and part of the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkland_Islands

Actually a lot of countries are located on multiple continents.

Lol so here in New York State the Governor did not classify our State financial aid department as an essential service.This is fucking over a lot of students that now have to pay out of pocket.
