Corona Virus

https://abc7ny.com/covid-party-19-de...virus/6312899/ A San Antonio doctor said one of her hospital's patients, a 30-year-old man, died after attending a so-called "COVID party" -- a bizarre trend where young people intentionally get together with someone who's infected. Dr. Jane Appleby, chief medical officer for Methodist Hospital and Methodist Children's Hospital, said the patient thought the coronavirus pandemic was a hoax. "He thought he was young and he was invincible and wouldn't get affected ... One of the things that was heart-wrenching that he said to his nurse was, 'I think I made a mistake,'"... No shit, Sherlock! A "hoax" At least this irresponsible dipshit won't be contributing to spread this crap around anymore. "Good riddance!", I say.

The press blowing things unfairly out of proportion for alarmism? Surely not? While we can't compare other Western countries blindly with Sweden, we can take some information from it etc. I think the lesson is, with 20-20 hindsight, that while taking precautions for the initial hit/spike was prudent, most areas could ease up far quicker that they have. ie: Overall, most areas have been too cautious. Agree? Disagree? Well, I keep coming back to the fact that Sweden's overall level of health is relatively high. Most Swedes "keep in shape" and obesity is fairly uncommon here compared to UK, US and Spain. This appears to make the populace more endurable to the disease. Can't imagine there's a high number of obese people in Taiwan, South Korea or Japan either and these have pulled through fairly well, right? So I think the lesson we should take away from this is; Staying healthy is very important!

Another conspiracy theorist knucklehead learns the lesson the hard way: https://www.dhbusinessledger.com/new...eded-new-lungs A "hoax"

Yet another irresponsible paranoid nincompoop who only ends up contributing to spread this crap further with his kooky conspiracy theories: https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavi...zay-story.html A "scamdemic"

Lmao! Calls it a Hoax but then dies. Good Riddance. I can't deal with ignorant people who put others in danger. Anyways, this isn't as bad as the flu but it's still a mutation that needs a means to be dealt with (of course not permanently). Vaccines have been nothing but good news. I'm hoping for more good news later this year.

An interesting watch, especially from the 21m mark...

https://emanuelkarlsten.se/number-of...ars-mortality/ A recent blog post about the supposed higher mortality rate overall in Sweden. April and May reported an abnormally high number of deaths in the country, most likely linked to the Corona pandemic. However the trend is normalizing and in August some weeks indicated a mortality rate below average.

Ireland's cases have shot up over the last couple of weeks. Pity. I was looking forward to getting back into the boozer for a few pints. Don't think they'll be reopening the pubs any time soon.

Ireland's cases have shot up over the last couple of weeks. Pity. I was looking forward to getting back into the boozer for a few pints. Don't think they'll be reopening the pubs any time soon. And yet the fatality rate is hovering around 0-1 most days, as it has for month(s)... They are testing more, possibly with less accurate kits, so detecting more cases. But who cares, if the hospital beds are all but empty, and little different to the norm?

One of my boys (Nicholas) lives in Canada with his mom and I haven't seen him in over a year. I'm ready to go on a "Wild Geese" style raid to see him. The border needs to open soon. That's all I'll say. On the flip side: My other boy (Paul) lives with me and hasn't seen his mom in over a year and it's fuckin' him up. He and his step-mom get along great but that ain't the same. This has been a trial for families like mine that live on both sides of the border. I know there are thousands of us but in the long, that's not much consolation.

That sounds difficult (on the kids) It blows. This border situation is ridiculous. I understand why it has to be this way BUT... Like I said, "Wild Geese" style raid...I"m totally ready for it.
