JCon

Big, big number again today. I bet some of it is due to a backlog but I'm hearing over 900. I really hope my sources are wrong. So far, the school closure hasn't happened, so my sources were incorrect there. Although, I suspect that was the recommendation, which may have been disregarded.

And, Trump took the blue o's? I don't think so. He's a RED x's sort of guy. Very strong colour, some say the strongest. Many are saying, this is the best game of x's and o's they've ever seen. One person came up to Trump crying, saying, "Sir, you've just played the best game of tic-tac-toe that I have ever seen. Thank-you for making tic-tac-toe so strong and powerful."

Except that they are now doing investigations and making those investigations public. It's a step in the right direction but they are so far over the line, it's hard to give them any credit. Francis better live a long time to see reforms through the whole church.

And, it's already a disaster. The Never Trumpers are pounding the ground now saying that there is nothing to worry about and that he doesn't need to leave the office on January 20th because the office leaves him. Well, he can and will sell state secrets to the foreigners. He's done it already, I'm sure. Project Lincoln is patting itself on the back but never forget, they approve of the GOP measures to disenfranchise voters, they just like doing it quietly.

Oh, wow, this is a really surprising turn of events for a President who was put in place by Putin. Shocking that this could happen. /s

Schools are now actively gathering information on essential workers, breaking them into tier 1 & 2. Frontline workers and essential workers. The lockdown is coming.

I have no doubt that some of the transmission is occurring outside the schools but within the cohort (socializing). But, since they're so far behind and so poor at contact tracing, maybe some of it is happening inside the school. They say that there's little evidence of school transmission but they can't tell you where it's happening, that's an issue. But, the app will only be effective when contract tracers give the infected person the code, quickly. They're still behind and people are not getting their codes.

I would hope that Canada would not recognize him and implement sanctions, like any other dictator (with the exception of those rich enough, like Saudi Arabia).

And the White Sox knew it when they hired that racist POS. Garbage organization. Free agent pitcher, Stroman on this:

It is indeed a banana republic.

I don't know where to put this, so it's going here...

Who would want to live here?

RE: March. We went full lockdown because we didn't know how quickly this would spread or how quickly our health system would be overwhelmed. It seems contradictory on the surface but the circumstances matter. But, we've been slow to react, in my opinion. So, our healthcare system is overwhelmed. I still think that quick test results and quick contract tracing is the only way we're going to get this under control. Since we don't have that, they're shutting things down. That's the only alternative. Our health system has been spread thin and has been since before the pandemic hit. It's a concerted effort to reduce costs in healthcare by reducing capacity. Schools are the next place to go, I guess, if these measures don't work.

I'm on the fence on this. We haven't seen much transmission in the schools, apparently, and they have made them safer (finally!!!) by reducing the class sizes. However, kids are still getting and transmitting Covid. Not as quickly as adults. But, they're not being truthful about the spread in schools. They keep saying that they're not seeing school transmissions but several students/teachers/staff are getting it somewhere. It can't only be during recreation and outside.

It's been crazy at the stores all day, I've heard.

They better do a bubble again for the NHL! Steelers might lose one now.

The Province is RED. Everything closes but schools and essential businesses.

Presser at 10:30 with Pallister and Roussin. Drinking game: drink every time either says, "fundamentals". You'll be so drunk and blackout quickly, you'll forget how badly they're mismanaging this. But seriously, expect another lockdown.

Exactly. It wasn't a "mistake" if they were obviously trying to cover it up. That's fraud.

Worst Bond villain ever.

I'm not sure if you caught the end of today's Roussin presser but he said more restrictions were coming. When he hints like that, you know it's true. I'm still thinking schools will be closed to non-essential worker's children by the end of the week. I also think they may be locking things down. They'll do it for two weeks to see if there's an affect on the numbers, then extend it if it doesn't.

Not indicted, not invited. Quite on brand for the GOP.

He's great for the Euro Elite league. He should be one of the leaders of Team Canada at the WJC.

But I worked at Zellers. So, when I say I had too many, I had too many.
