Fauci on new Covid-19 strain found in UK: You have to assume it's here

 

[tvstrip]

It seems like all the sources are saying "there's no reason to believe that the current vaccine won't work", which is a lot less confident than "the vaccine will work on the new strain".
I think we can maintain some optimism. If it's confirmed that the vaccine isn't effective on the new strain, then we can panic.

The new strain is in Florida. Countries are beginning to ban travelers from the U.S.

The only people who should have died from covid are ahole Trump and his cronies.
All 354,381 Americans who died would still be alive if they had access to the same health care as ahole Trump and his cronies.

Lockdown starts midnight, St Stephens Day - for 6 weeks (to be reviewed after 4 weeks).

Reminds me of this:

The new strain is in Florida. Countries are beginning to ban travelers from the U.S.

It's in Colorado as well. The odd part is it is in a rural area.

Do you really think Trump was covid positive for real? To me is pure bullshit, the guy let thousand and thousand of people dying, not good publicity for his campaign, it was just a way to say... You see I got covid positive and it was nothing!

That's the nature of this virus. Totally unpredictable.

The family next door to me all (5 of them) have it. A neighbour was buried on Wednesday. It seems worse than it has ever been previously.

But the vaccine is within touching distance🤷‍♂️

I would hope you are wrong but will not discount the possibility as it is The Donald we are dealing with.

Emergency meeting of the Executive Govt here currently ongoing with an expected full lockdown - enforceable by law - expected to be the announcement.

The figures here are shocking. People are simply not doing as they're being advised.

Which country?

In any case, you're not alone. I think most major gov't facing this new wave (3rd wave now?) have gone back to lockdown procedures similar to March. Hard to think we're only 2 months away from a year of this stuff.

Ireland. Northern Ireland. An island divided in 2. A mess with regards legislation and restrictions.

But you're right, it's 3rd wave here. The people aren't doing as they're being advised. The vaccine is here. Lockdown the only way to stamp it out.

For what it's worth, each wave seems to be more vicious.

Stay safe🙏

It's worse when it's members of the gov't that are breaking quarantine rules.

Look at the shitshow going on in Canada:

Multiple members of parliament, staffers etc going on vacations to Hawaii, Mexico, Europe, etc.
This one MPP even posted a set of pre-recorded "greetings" from his home to his social media feed while he was actually in the Caribbean during Xmas.
"Rules for thee and rules for Me", I guess. It's stuff like this that makes people not follow rules, since the people who are making them aren't following them either.

Stay Safe as well 🙏

Where I live (in rural Ireland) 1 in 40 people now have covid.

Staggering figures.

It makes me think. Why not have a wealth tax and then use that tax to give most of non-rich in this country a periodic check, sort of like the stimulus money now? It could be a form of universal basic income. It would directly help most people, it could be simple with no hoops to go through or screwing around with deductions or income credits, and I think the majority of people would like it. It would just plain get people money that need it, and almost all of it would just go back into the economy buying stuff or paying off debt anyhow instead of it being horded by the nations richest people.

Because the
Rich who have bought and paid for most of the ruling class are not interested in helping "most people". Only themselves.
