We deserve this cultural enrichment. For being a bunch of cucks locking down for a flu.
Corona-chan becomes stronger at night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBoojBTEPaI
Kind of reminds me of Castlevania II where the monsters become stronger at night
I wish the media would stop talking about curfews in Ontario. It's like they are wishing it into existence.
A curfew is going to make things worse, not better. I like to shop after 10 when the stores are dead. The roads are dead. I like going for night rides listening to podcasts to clear my head. To keep me from going insane. With things closed at 8pm, stores are going to be more crowded.
The whole idea behind a curfew is that it's going to prevent indoor social gatherings. Meanwhile there is absolutely no proven evidence of asymptomatic spread and the vast majority of people don't attend social gatherings with a cold. Meanwhile lots of people go to work with a cold. And then spread the virus in crowded supermarkets, Amazon fulfillment centres, etc.
A lot of neurotic people would never leave the house if they believed that the talisman didn't protect each other.
It's sarcasm folks. 10/10
The hint is that the title is "I am a good person." That is what leftists indirectly say when they say "wear a mask bigot" "stay home, save lives, protect the NHS (or whatever the Canadian equivalent is)." But a leftist NPC would never directly say, "see I follow the rules, I am a good person."
I was able to verify my Parler account in November after the US election with a VoIP text app number. They might have beefed up their security the last few days.
In the old days these social media companies never needed your phone number. Now social media, dating sites, they all require phone number verification. lol. There's like no privacy anymore.
Canada's parliamentary system doesn't allow for much flexibility compared to the United States.
Populism existed in the United States before Trump and it will exist in the United States after Trump. It will live on as populist candidates run in the Republican primaries.
In Canada, a populist candidate would never be able to survive under the Tory banner. They would get quickly booted. The closest you'll get to that is Pierre Poilievre who is a career politician whose been in the game since he was 25. For him to survive 16 years as a Tory, how based can he really be? And Derek Sloan whose been around for a year. Randy Hillier and some others got the boot from the Tories.
In the United States, mavericks often get left off committees and such. But they can't boot you from the party. David Duke of all people ran as both a Democrat and later a Republican.
Joe Biden and the Democrats are going to inherit a devastated economy. The Republicans will get the House and Senate in the mid-terms
Doug Ford is a pussy. I live in Peel, the COVID hotspot of Ontario (until Windsor-Essex took the crown from us recently) and the hospitals are not overwhelmed here. ICU capacity is at 89%. Acute care 93%. Ventilators 64%. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: They don't even bother to put elderly (65+) in ICU in significant numbers here. They triage before they ever hit capacity.
Since January 31st, 2020, Peel has only admitted 93 seniors (65+) into ICU. During that same time period, 432 of our seniors died with COVID. The death rate is 365% higher than the ICU rate for seniors. And there's 176,820 seniors (65+) in Peel circa 2016. That represents a death rate of less than 0.2443% of our senior population.
If you look at acute care hospitalizations only, it's 621 ever hospitalized among 65+. Giving us an acute care rate of less than 0.3512% of the 65+ population.
The proportion ever admitted to ICU is 0.0526% of the 65+ population.
Doug Ford, like Jason Kenney, Brian Pallister and Francois Legault, is a bitch made pussy who is too afraid to make tough decisions. It takes balls to say, "yeah some people are gonna die, but it's a significantly small portion of the population and the number of people who are going to die or have their lives ruined from lockdowns is going to be larger. There is no win-win scenario. There's going to be trade offs either way. And I think it's the lesser evil to get our lives back."
UberEats apparently does grocery delivery now too. lol.
Grocery delivery apps are fucking terrible. Often times the grocery store doesn't have the item you ordered. So your courier will substitute items you don't want for it. Or text you asking for a substitute. Or you can turn substitution off but you don't get the item you wanted.
It's annoying when you order a bunch of stuff for making dinner. And then one key ingredient is missing. And then you're stuck with all the other things now.
I've used UberEats a couple times recently out of laziness but it's expensive. I paid $20.24 after fees and tip (I tipped Pajeet 15% because I didn't want to be a dick). If I drove there myself and waited for my food I could have saved $5.26. Because $2.32 went to Uber, an extra $0.30 in taxes and $2.64 went to Pajeet.
Previously I felt guilt-tripped into tipping Mohammed 20% because the default tip on UberEats is 20% of the post-fee post-tax now. It used to be 15% of the subtotal. So I tipped Mohammed $3.32, Uber got $2.24 and the taxman an extra $0.29. So I paid a $5.85 premium for delivery. But I jewed Pajeet out of that extra 88c because I didn't feel like paying a $6.14 premium to deliver my meal.
I feel sorry for Pajeet and Mohammed. But at the same time, who wants to pay a 41% premium on your meal for food delivery? Even if you stiff the courier completely, you're still paying like a 18% premium to Uber for a $12-14 meal. And they have a $2 surcharge for orders under $12
Get a free VoIP number from a texting app and verify using that number. I was able to verify my Parler account with that.
Lots of services like Google, Tinder, etc. require a real cell phone number sadly. You can go to a 7-11 and buy a prepaid sim card with cash. That is the most anonymous way how to verify your number. But technically speaking the feds can GPS triangulate the location of your cell phone if they wanted to. So if you're going to do something illegal with your cell phone, make sure not to use it at your crib. And make sure to power it off and maybe take out the battery if you're heading home. If you're paranoid that it can phone home while the power is off.
3,800 people liked that tweet. Would be a shame if they got doxxed and their employer was informed of them liking racist anti-Uygur content calling Uygur women "baby making machines". These bigots need to be fired and forced to suck dick on the street to survive.
The case numbers do look fake as fuck. I have been looking at the numbers daily. I download the raw data from Ontario's website every day. And they make no sense. I'm a statistics, prediction, probability guy. You can't predict fuck all looking at historical data. It's like someone made this shit up.
In Ontario they use this kind of framework ~100 cases per 100k weekly: Lockdown 40-100~ cases per 100k weekly: Red 25-40 cases per 100k weekly: Orange 10-25 cases per 100k weekly: Yellow <10 cases per 100k weekly: Green
On Dec 21st when Doug Ford announced the province wide lockdown 9 Regions were in the lockdown zone 10 red zone 5 orange zone 6 yellow zone 4 green zone
On Jan 7th (17 days later) 17 Regions lockdown zone (+8) 6 red zone (-4) 6 orange zone (+1) 4 yellow zone (-2) 1 green zone (-3)
How the fuck is this shit spreading in small town Ontario all of a sudden?
I have literally seen the case numbers TANK in Brampton. The 3-day rolling average dropped 48% from Nov 11-13 to Dec 24-26. Diwali was fucking Nov 14th and the numbers in Brampton went down after Diwali. I was suspecting that Pajeets achieved herd immunity. And then the numbers in Brampton trampolined right back up out of nowhere. Like Undertaker getting right back up after being given a Stone Cold Stunner. FAKE AS FUCK.
And how convenient that the numbers started going back up in Brampton after Dec 26? It's like they want to paint the narrative that people got together during the holidays and then boom.
Btw there have only been 197 new cases in the past week in all of Northern Ontario (778,941 people). That's an average of 25 new cases per 100,000 per week. As per the Ontario government's guidelines, that's Orange Restrict Zone tier. Not Grey lockdown zone tier. The region in Northern Ontario with the highest rate (Northwestern Health Unit) has only 43 new cases per 100k per week.
The average in Southern Ontario is 172 new cases per 100k per week.
Why on earth is he going to extend the lockdown in Northern Ontario when there's very few cases there?
Massachusetts had a 10pm curfew since November. And the cases went up anyways. I believe California has had a 10pm curfew since mid-late November and cases skyrocketed there. Virus gonna virus.
I've seen cases go down recently in France, Belgium and some other places in Europe. But can we really attribute that to curfews when curfews didn't work in Massachusetts and California? Maybe there's another element.
And once jurisdictions lift restrictions, the cases are going to go right back up anyways. Virus gonna virus. You'd have to keep restrictions in place until at least March/April when the weather gets warmer to suppress the virus. And that comes at a financial and social cost to society. All to protect the 0.2% of the population that may die from this virus.
There's all this hype about ICU admissions in the media. But ICU admission rates in Peel are 57% lower than the death rate. Because they don't bother to put 85 year olds on their last legs in the ICU. The death rate for seniors (65+) is significantly higher than their ICU admission rate. The median age of death is 85 but the median age of ICU admission is 63 here. The ICU is usually reserved for younger patients who have more of a chance of survival. Unless you're a colossal fat ass or have some immuno-deficiency disorder, this is a virus that mostly fucks up old people.
ICU capacity is only at 87% here even though the media has been fearmongering that our hospitals are "overwhelmed". And even at 87%, the hospitals don't even bother putting you in the ICU if you are old and unlikely to make it anyways. They already triage before they even hit capacity. The media is full on fake news.
When even Dr. Isaach Bogoch agrees that curfews are retarded, that says something. Dr. Bogoch is hardcore pro-lockdown pro-covid hysteria.
Even on lefty-leaning subs like r/canada, r/ontario, r/onguardforthee, r/quebec curfews are unpopular with them.
There is a bit in there about David Williams not being a fan of curfews:
Moreover, Williams said that curfews are not only difficult to implement, but even harder to enforce.
“How are you going to enforce a curfew? How are you going to make sure people are adhering to the curfew?” he asked."
Read the entire article. CTV News is misrepresenting what Dr. David WIlliams said. In the article Dr. Williams even said that it would be difficult to enforce a curfew. And he sees a curfew as only a last resort. CTV News is fake news. Just like CBC, CP24, Global News, CNN, NBC, etc.
So he's gonna fine homeless people $1,000? lmao. Go get blacked Legault.
I thought the CAQ was based. But after this pandemic, it is clear that they suck cack
This is why I don't support #backtheblue
I love the doublespeak there. They would probably try to argue that covid is a lot more contagious than the flu. But the common cold is also way down too. And coronaviruses cause 15% of common colds.
bUt iTs a nOvEl cOrOnAvIrUs!
Are these restrictions BC-wide? It doesn't make sense to have these kinds of restrictions in parts of the province where the case load is low.
You can snitch on your neighbours already in Ontario if they see a car on your driveway they don't recognize. Social gatherings have been illegal in Toronto and Peel since November 23rd.
That's the rumor. It hasn't been confirmed by Doug Ford yet.
If Doug Ford tries this shit, prepare to be culturally enriched by Brampton.
Tyrone walking around with his ho in a Studio 6 parking lot in Brampton/Mississauga
Peel Police: Tyrone what are you doing at 1am in a Studio 6 parking lot? Here's a $880 fine for both of you.
Tyrone: pulls out his gat "We're essential workers motherfucka!" pop pop
Our government is so dumb. The whole point of curfew is to stop social gatherings basically. Watch people have social gatherings before 8pm instead. They'll arrive at 7:30pm and stay overnight.
Watch Wal-Mart and Costco be packed as fuck at 7:30 spreading the virus around. I love shopping at Wal-Mart after 10 because it's quiet. Now I won't be able to if we have a curfew.
The Death Penalty as a “deterrent” is not the point. The point is ridding ourselves of the worst kinds of filth
Under certain conditions, a considerably high percentage of humans would become murderers, assailants, rapists, thieves. That's why you live in Canada and not Russia with a bunch of low-inhibition Russian gangster thugs who don't give any fucks. I would have used El Salvador as an example but then you'd bring up race most likely. Portland and to a lesser extent Seattle are fairly white. And look at how much white crime there is there. White people are more likely to kill themselves or overdose on drugs when they lose the game of musical chairs than black and brown people. But you're starting to see a lot of white lumpens turn violent in Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, etc. You have too much faith in humanity if you think the losers of late-stage capitalism are just going to go away quietly killing themselves instead of turning the knife or gun on you. High levels of poverty if not income inequality leads to a low-trust society.
If I'm a homeless white guy with mental issues and/or low IQ with no hope of digging out of a hole, what incentive do I have to not culturally enrich you in the parking lot with a lead pipe and steal your wallet? You have a lot to lose. The homeless man has nothing to lose. Do you want to live your life in fear of being culturally enriched at a moment's notice like you were a RPG character walking around in a game with random encounters? Society has to tackle the socio-economic conditions that lead to crime.
The returns lady at my local supermarket coughed into her surgical mask a couple weeks ago. Yet somehow me seeing my asymptomatic girlfriend is the problem according to the government, not me going to the supermarket. And now they want to shorten the operating hours for these supermarkets to make it even more likely that I'm going to catch the WuFlu there with more crowding. It makes zero sense.
