D&D and the rising pandemic

Put the us president in the penitentiary that would LOL

There are already some lies which are illegal here at least Libel/Slander are.

We've really only got one outright fruit loops in parliment and I think he will be unemployed in about a month. If I lived in that Electorate I would do a split vote to get rid of him.

They tried the crazy approach lite but the more or less semi sane opposition bleed support out and are below 30% in the polls and have a 0.1% chance of winning apparently.

Sub 30% is a long way from 51% with proportional.

Terms like landslide, most popular leader ever, first time since 1951, are being thrown around.

Play fun and games with Covid don't get rewarded. Maybe they'll delay the election again. Give the nutters more time to enjoy the taste of shoe leather.

Just to nitpick - you don't get vaccinations for Tetanus or Rabies unless you have a specific reason for getting them. It's not a general vaccination. At least, I know Rabies isn't. Tetanus isn't in Canada. (I know, because I needed tetanus shots after an accident. Thankfully didn't need rabies shots. Yikes those are brutal).

Tetanus boosters are recommended every 10 years (although it looks like recent studies show the effects might last longer). Here if you don't know if you had one or when it was, they'll give you another after an accident just in case. As @Garthanos notes, the tetanus one is bundled with several others for children.

Doing our genealogies, I think there were at least two relatives a few generations back who died by tetanus in various parts of the family.

Seriously, I can't underline strenuously enough how much judicial partisanship/politicking can derange their decisions.

Recent railroading into office of partisan judges by the Senate 100s of them is doubly terrifying

Yesterday the official death toll in my country surpassed 70,000. And I say official because only people dying in hospitals are counted. And yesterday was a very lethal day with over 700 deaths when previous days averaged in the 500 deaths. And yesterday was also the first day in a while I left the house by foot. I couldn't believe how many people weren't wearing the masks properly and how many more were wearing nothing. I'm frustrated with the poor leadership, with a president that refuses to wear a mask or endorse wearing one -or even worry about the emergency, he has gone so far as to imply the dead had a moral failling or somehow deserved it for being corrupt- and the spineless bootlicking stooges that keep enabling him. There are words that could express the frustration and fear I feel about this, but they are in Spanish and they would break the grandma rule so I'm not going to tell them.

Mexico? I've got an Argentinian poster translating news from the area on another site. He's not sure o impressed with his government either.

Active cases at the University are way down (but so is the number of tests being done). Quarantine space is less than 20% used (after being near 80 a bit over a week ago).
