Yesterday was the worst day in the US so far with 2,804 deaths reported. There were only 7,062 deaths in total worldwide, so the US deaths made up 39.7% of the deaths for that day.


https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/


The cumulative worldwide total of reported deaths is 177,821 and the US's cumulative total is 45,343 which is 25.5% of the total, even though the US's population is only about 4.25% of the entire world's population. The reported deaths in NY alone makes up 11.2% of the world total.


The situation in the US is shockingly bad compared to the rest of the world and is growing even worse and it is just incomprehensible that your politicians are trying to roll back the safeguards already.

Not that I don't think the US has handled this poorly and were late to the get go on basically everything, from the local level all the way up to the feds, but they are far from the worse country at handling Covid-19. They are barely even top 10 on the death per capita list.1 And on top of them on the list is filled with a ton of well run countries with comprehensive welfare and universal healthcare.

But who really knows because China hasn't given out their real numbers anyways.

So many delicious cigarettes have disappeared from the market here.

I loved the Belgian St Michell, they were even greener than Gitanes, all made from European tobacco's.

Or the British Capstan Navy Cut, the cigarette with an absolute record amount of nicotine, delicious.

All disappeared from our shops.

Legitimately curious, maybe some LEO goons can weigh in. Was there anything stopping him from just calmly popping her in the car and peacing out? I mean obviously, arresting a soccer mom at a playground in front of her kids is bad optics regardless of how hysterical she is, and he rightfully gave her every possible chance to gently caress off since he's clearly nervous about how to handle it and doesn't want to get beat up in the media.

But at a certain point, after dozens of requests, can't he just be like "Okay ma'am I've given you multiple chances to comply. You're under arrest for disorderly conduct/public disturbance. Put your hands behind your back. Is there a normal responsible adult who can pick up Jayden, Kaitlynn, Cailyn, and Braelynn?"

I'm not some dipshit arguing for police brutality or authoritarianism. But this lady was clearly out of control and the situation escalated into a literal mob of white (heh) -hot rage which never should have happened. Was it poor training? Is that department gonna start establishing rules on how to handle similar idiots who want to emulate the mom? I'm seriously interested.

well since she's white she gets to have her way and be as disorderly as wants, whereas if she were black her and possibly her kids would be detained/arrested/dead, hope this helps clear up the situation.

I guess there wasn't enough healing going on, which is again baffling the Dr. and the Specialist. So they're going to have me go to Canmore for a CT scan next month to see if healing is delayed, or just not happening at all. Surgery is on the table, and recovery is about 1 month.



The CT is going to be a bit delayed because of the Covid stuff going on, but they're hopeful that it's just some delayed healing and they don't have to break it again.

Department of Agriculture is keeping tabs on animals with covid...2 cats added yesterday :(

NYC is savage

quote:

In its statement about the two pet cats, the USDA and CDC also offered this guidance, as they learn more about the relationship of coronavirus between humans and animals:

Do not let pets interact with people or other animals outside the household.
Keep cats indoors when possible to prevent them from interacting with other animals or people.
Walk dogs on a leash, maintaining at least 6 feet from other people and animals.
Avoid dog parks or public places where a large number of people and dogs gather.
If you are sick with COVID-19 (either suspected or confirmed by a test), restrict contact with your pets and other animals, just like you would around other people.

When possible, have another member of your household care for your pets while you are sick.
Avoid contact with your pet, including petting, snuggling, being kissed or licked, and sharing food or bedding.
If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wear a cloth face covering and wash your hands before and after you interact with them.
A cat in Belgium was believed to have COVID-19, after falling ill—and later traces of the virus were found in its vomit and feces.

Wait I thought the point of that tweet was that they were getting less smokers with complications than were expected. So it isn't that smoking makes you safer, it's just that smoking is not as big of a risk as was initially assumed.

I'm basically high all the time though so I might have read it wrong

Maybe smokers die faster before they develop tons of complications?
