We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Confirmation from Dr Henry yesterday that there are two sets of numbers and one we are not seeing. As noted earlier, the numbers released are only confirmed through testing. There are additional cases that are known that include those self isolating with symptoms who were never tested. Could be family members or others in close contact with an infected person. Not an issue with the testing or tracking protocols,as they still link as a single outbreak site, but it would be interesting to see how that affects the total # of cases and number of active cases in BC.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Twitter shuts down Trump Tweets with a “fact check”. So Trumpy Temper Tantrum gets very upset about it, and signs and executive to order so social media can’t shut down his tweets with “fact check” warnings. “WHAAAAAA!!! Where’s my bubba!”

Some Britons seem upset about Dominic f••••••g Cummings breaking just about every covid rule in place and being totally unapologetic about it.

(Being diagnosed with covid-19 he and his wife took their kids in their car and drove four hours to visit his parents...)

Whatever you do, always give 100 %!

Am I ever impressed by the non stop shit show America has become under Trump. I mean we all knew it would be an unmitigated disaster but this is through the roof. There was always a war inside the walls of America but it’s official now. MAGA? Please fuck off with that. White America died a long time ago, it ain’t coming back. It’s a migrating world we live in now. Deal with it whiteys

You can move to white areas like i did. When someone of colour comes into the town nearby us people stare and shit... Ive heard them talk about a turban person delivering to the grocery store one time and everything. Theres one korean family running the gas station and one chinese family running the chinese restaurant. Just like vancouver used to be when i was a kid

Latest thoughts are that covid is a vascular rather than pulmonary disease. Hence strokes in young people, purple toes and fingers, etc.

https://elemental.medium.com/coronaviru ... 4032481ab2

Coronavirus May Be a Blood Vessel Disease, Which Explains Everything
Many of the infection’s bizarre symptoms have one thing in common

In April, blood clots emerged as one of the many mysterious symptoms attributed to Covid-19, a disease that had initially been thought to largely affect the lungs in the form of pneumonia. Quickly after came reports of young people dying due to coronavirus-related strokes. Next it was Covid toes — painful red or purple digits.
What do all of these symptoms have in common? An impairment in blood circulation. Add in the fact that 40% of deaths from Covid-19 are related to cardiovascular complications, and the disease starts to look like a vascular infection instead of a purely respiratory one.

Schools opening again (at less then capacity) is one thing. It will be well supervised. I hope. I think it will. I'd still prefer virtual but oh well.
Teachers need to work, pay taxes, buy stuff, yada yada.

Private daycare centers get a hard no from me. Realize parents depend on them, "and" the people that run them are entrepreneurs which
I am all for. But not now. Expertise, strict supervision is paramount for the wee ones. The two my son had would have been unacceptable.
The one I can see out my back window would be not near good enough.
Better design a mandatory training course if that's even possible.
