  1. You mean developed countries with advanced medical infrastructure deal with illness, sickness, and disease better than those without...? Wow, what a massive shocker. The flu still affects developed nations, though. And more than it should based on how many refuse to vaccinate.
  2. Florida governor Ron DeSantis overrode the order of county officials, deeming religious gatherings an essential service. What a ******* dolt. So much for separation of church and state.
  3. Nice to see the old "game manager" is still taking up rent space in the empty heads of the usual clueless suspects with their bullshit revisionist history.
  4. An article from 2012... That's super relevant. And then at the bottom page, the author brings up the "poison" ingredients. It's like you don't even try. And the fact you continue to play your "bUt ThE fLu" card in this thread is an excellent display of abject ignorance. Yes, the flu is bad. It does its share of damage every single year. WTF does that have to do with COVID-19, though - a completely different and new virus? There's also no valid argument against getting the flu shot if you're healthy and able to get it. Obviously, there are exceptions who can't get it but that's the importance of herd immunity. The flu shot has proven to work and if more people bothered to get it, instead of listen to idiots who spread misinformation and lies fueled by ignorance and willingness to learn, there would likely be far fewer deaths from influenza every year. Outside of mandatory vaccination, what measures would you like to see against the various flu strains that circle the glove every year? The simple reality is people need to do their part, but many do not - and choose wilfully to do so. The difference with COVID-19, a novel* coronavirus, is there is no vaccine or other measures available to stop or lessen its lethality. That's why it's been so damaging since it spread globally: we don't have the means to fight it the same way we do other viruses. That's why the experts (doctors, epidemiologists, virologists, etc.) have told us to stay home, distance from others, and avoid travel to minimize that damage and not overwhelm medical infrastructure while slowing the spread. Again, though: people need to do their part and listen. * novel means new, as in it is a new strain we haven't seen before
  5. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pm-scheer-salary-covid-1.5517185 Must be nice to get mandatory pay raises every ******* year.
  6. I dunno… Those were different times and far different circumstances. Look at the debt people, companies, and governments carry now, too. Airlines want public help: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/airline-tourism-sector-catastrophic-decline-covid-19-1.5516678

  9. Yeah, there's no way anywhere goes a week without a case any time soon unless it's deliberate number-fudging. The sobering reality is we're nowhere near out of the woods based on the marked increase in cases over the last 14 days: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/canada/ But there's nothing stopping you from going out guilt-free; you just need to be mindful of the protocols in place and do so responsibly. Going for a walk to get some fresh air and sunlight and to stretch the legs is encouraged permitted you adhere to social/physical distancing requirements. It's a good way to clear one's head and avoid going stir crazy being stuck at home. It's also a good time to take up a hobby.
  10. Dastardly Dalton Sneed, the Bane of Bozeman. Could be a character in Red Dead Redemption.
  11. A little revenge for the Jets in the opening round but this is otherwise some simulated bullshit. At least the Preds can add "Simulated Champions" to their list of laughable banners:
  12. https://www.sciencealert.com/lost-fragment-of-ancient-continent-discovered-under-remote-canadian-island Pretty amazing discovery.
  13. https://www.npr.org/2020/03/25/821285225/sen-burr-faces-lawsuit-over-timing-of-stock-sale
  14. https://globalnews.ca/news/6735064/coronavirus-militarizing-canada-us-border/
  15. And then there's this assbag: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/covid19-winnipeg-tea-1.5508703 So sick of **** humans like this.
  16. Oh, look... Another useless, moronic, tone deaf blog. Just stop already. You're embarrassing yourself. **** off.
  17. That was comedy gold: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-comedy-routine-america-needs-right-now-the-cuomo-brothers-return-to-prime-time/ar-BB11D283
  18. India going on complete lockdown for 21 days: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-india-modi/modi-puts-all-of-india-under-lockdown-for-21-days-to-fight-coronavirus-idUSKBN21B2BW That's roughly 1.3 billion people. Incredible.
  19. Seriously...? Digging up a partial quote from nearly seven years ago...? I will absolutely not defend the Liberals' attempt to grab power, albeit temporarily, at such an uncertain time but reaches like that aren't good for anything. Here's what he actually said back then: https://globalnews.ca/news/3899392/trudeau-admires-most-not-china/ He didn't say it "many times," either. He said it once. Context is indeed everything. (https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/fuss-over-justin-trudeaus-china-comment-a-lesson-for-liberal-leader-expert/)
  20. And then there's this idiot leader in Iran: https://www.cbc.ca/news/investigates/iran-coronavirus-response-conspiracy-theories-1.5506288 Making matters worse are the religious fanatics there: Dangerous levels of stupidity.
  21. Perhaps. This whole pandemic has no doubt shown what a broken system we have, rife with corruption and avarice. We gotta weather the storm first, though: https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canada-covid-19-second-wave-1.5507522
  22. The Liberals have backed off: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/house-commons-covid-emergency-bill-1.5507499 Makes me wonder if this was just a bluff all along.
