@gammaXray
Covid is surging world wide.
Deaths from Covid, depending on your definition, is also surging.
It isn't just in the US and it isn't being impacted by all the constraints and restrictions various governments are placing on their societies to try and control Covid.

Shooter for one, is tired of the eternal Trump bashing.
You think Biden's "plan" is going to fix this?
Think again.

 

The pandemic is worse than ever here in the US setting new records every day and COVID is now the leading cause of death in the US. But why is COVID so bad in Russia. Didn't Putin say he had a vaccine months ago? Why aren't Russians getting vaccinated? Or are they getting vaccinated but its not working?

I think this is some good news though.

Florida investigation finds governor misled public on Covid as cases rose
Ron DeSantis and his administration ‘suppressed facts’ and ‘dispensed dangerous misinformation’, according to newspaper

Florida this week became the third US state to record a million coronavirus cases and yet the public there has been misled by state leadership about the extent and dangers of the pandemic, especially in the run-up to the presidential election, an investigation has concluded.

Governor Ron DeSantis’s administration has been engaged in a pattern of spin and concealment about Covid-19 amid the gravest health threat the state has ever faced, according to a South Florida Sun Sentinel investigation.

According to the newspaper, Republican DeSantis influenced a state administration that “suppressed unfavorable facts, dispensed dangerous misinformation, dismissed public health professionals, and promoted the views of scientific dissenters” who supported the governor’s ambivalent approach to the disease.

DeSantis declined to be interviewed, the Sun Sentinel said, but it noted he told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight earlier this week that the media’s criticism of his approach was “all political”.

The investigation found that the Florida department of health’s county-level spokespeople stopped issuing public statements about Covid-19 between September and the 3 November election.

And earlier on in the pandemic state leaders did not release details about the earliest cases in Florida and denied the virus was spreading person to person, despite the fact that coronavirus is highly contagious.

The attitude struck by state leadership, mimicking the kind of dismissive approach of Donald Trump, the US president to whom DeSantis is a loyalist, has helped foster a public culture in which many defiantly shun face masks and readily gather in crowded bars and parties, the newspaper said, contrary to federal public health guidelines.

The Sun Sentinel said its extensive reporting is based on interviews with scientists, doctors, politicians and officials, and reviewing thousands of pages of documents.

Misinformation has included the governor’s spokesman claiming on Twitter that coronavirus was less deadly than the flu, while also citing statistics in a way that played down the toll of the virus.

As Florida’s case total approached 900,000 before the election, Dan Gelber, mayor of Miami Beach, said at a press event, while calling for a statewide mask mandate: “It’s become pretty clear that what Florida is doing right now isn’t working. It’s unmistakably clear that Florida’s approach to managing this pandemic is failing pretty horribly.”

He said that lines to get tested were stretching around the block in his community. “The state has rolled back its testing facilities … the state needs to take control of this,” he said.

Gelber added that since DeSantis “opened up the economy totally in late September and simultaneously prevented local governments from enforcing individual mask mandates we have seen an enormous surge”.

Fred Piccolo Jr, the governor’s spokesman, told the Sun Sentinel that DeSantis has not been spinning facts and had stuck with a facts-based message that would accomplish the most in saving lives.

“The governor has been consistent since the beginning of the pandemic,” he said. “Wash hands, maintain social distance, wear a mask, etc. But he’s also adapted to the data as it becomes available.”

The investigation alleged that DeSantis had shut leading scientists out of the public dialogue on coronavirus.

In late August DeSantis invited academic Scott Atlas to tour Florida with him and they appeared at events where they talked up the advantages of avoiding imposing social restrictions.

Atlas became the controversial leading coronavirus adviser to Trump as the president edged away from the most senior public health officials such as Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx. Atlas resigned from his White House post earlier this week.

And as the election neared, the Florida department of health cut back on public information about coronavirus and stopped its regular posts on Facebook and Twitter about Covid-19 safety measures.

Florida’s leading university-affiliated experts on infectious diseases have been largely sidelined and bypassed.

“We have over 200 affiliated faculty within this institute,” Glenn Morris, director of the University of Florida’s Emerging Pathogens Institute, told the Sun Sentinel.

“This is what we do for a living. Yet the state has not taken full advantage of that expertise.”

Fuck Pandemics. I had one of them , It was the worst car I’ve ever owned. I think it was Chinese made . Lol lol lol lol lol ll lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

 

The real pandemic will arrive shortly after the lockdowns end, all those lazy and suppressed immune systems getting hit with infectious viruses and germs and all at once.

 

It is now apparently the number one cause of death in the US and the numbers are only goung up.

Protect yourselves and good luck.

So when you start vaccinations you say it it be done in age order .What happens when a person does not have a car or cannot drive because of illnesses Or Will lt be if you have money or well off friends your get IT.Also where are you going to set up the vaccine centres a lot of town's will say NOT HERE we don't what a lot possable ill people coming here.Don't say do it on the hospitals they have got there hands full with sick people.

 

Wow , negative much or what .
how very American .
Look for any problem you can invent to stuff something up , make it hard ,
or avoid doing it.

It's really not very hard .
It's a simple injection , it dosen't need a hospital , or any especially difficult equipment at the vaccination sites .

A bit of refrigeration to help keep it for the short periid once it's out of its transport containers , maybe. Dry ice ?
Some steilizing fluid , and swabs.

Not rocket science.

Where ?
any number of places come to mind , bus stations , railway stations , town halls , community halls , libraries , school gymns , car parks , band stands , theatres , places like that and many more.

Sick people gathering to get it , really ?
That hasn't bothered many Americans so far ,
besides the fact sick people should be going to testing stations ,
Not vaccination sites.

It's no use once they have it , lol
It's to late then.

Here's a thaught ;
It's really quite easy.
All you have to do , is want it when it's available , and go do it.

Our government already has plans and places that'll be ready to go , in spite of it not being likely we'll be doing any vaccinations for 2 to 4 months ,
and then it'll only be border workers first , and a few other essential and vulnerable people.

It's really not very hard at all.

But it is going to take a prolonged and thourough concerted effort to do enough to make a difference.

So the first step should be;

THINK POSITIVE

 

I've already had Covid.

 

I'm (we) are probably at the end of the line for vaccine, as it should be, but I'm thinking maybe I could get a job at Walmart as a greeter, it would move me way up, assuming they'd hire me. Could than consider Europe this summer.

 

Not rocket science perhaps but apparently Trump has not got a plan to distribute the vaccine so just as Fiona Hill pointed out recently Trump is incapable of delegating anything so nothing gets done.



Now back to Sintaklaas.

He will not have the vaccine he thinks he safe he's had covid. Beside all he what's now i is to cause the maximum damage to the US to punish them for not voting for him.Nothing will happen until January 20th.

 

Its not just that there is no reason for this. There's no excuse for it. Except too many people at the time voted for a stupid, ignorant (two different things) wanna be mad king dictator. And its terrifying just how close he came. But at what is the worst unnecessary costs of any crisis in US history. The whole world got hit by a virus. The worst in 100 years. But the difference was this time medical science knows so much more about viruses than they did in 1918. But because we have a mad king dictator for president he chose to ignore all that scientific knowledge for his own delusions. And his treasonous sycophants and quislings went along with that.

But here is the reality.

U.S. and Europe head in opposite coronavirus directions

Poor old Rudi.

His bosses hoax caught up with him.

Get well soon Rudi

 

UK TV showed the first covid 19 vaccine being delivered to 50 hospitals at first they are going to be hub's They can store it correctly.Then tomorrow it they will start to vaccinate people.When we have more it will be sent out to doctors and a series of vaccination centres which they are seting up.The airforce and army are going to help with this.HOPE AT LAST

 

First Trump lies and Americans die. Then Trump denies science and more Americans die. We now have more dead from COVID than any country on earth. All simply because Trump is mentally ill and chose to believe his own delusions instead of medical science. And then after more than 280.000 dead Americans with a vaccine on the horizon Trump is demanding he gets credit for the vaccine. But he's not going to get it. The vaccine producers know Trump is a paper tiger and a taint they cannot afford is they want people to take their vaccine.
