Laughed at for going into lockdown with 1 case found.

One became 11 then another 11, then 21 etc. 35 new cases today total 100+.

Exclusive poll: Resounding popular support for decision to take NZ into strict lockdown

The verdict on: the government response; the National Party response; and the decision to go into level four lockdown.

Popular response though. We've been told to expect increasing cases for the next week or so then hopefully flatten the curve.

Locally might reopen in afew days to some extent.

Waiting for our favorite lockdown show to start in 38 minutes. The 1pm daily briefing.

They've made a bingo card drinking game based on what the PM says.

We’re running out of beds all over Texas.

I was reading someone posting about their kid (in another state) passed out the car, unable to go into the hospital for his chemotherapy. One of the responses to that post was someone from here in the Dallas area claiming they had to set their own kid’s broken arm and jerry rig a temporary cast for a week because they were denied entry into an overrun facility.

Hearsay? Yeah. Internet fable? Possibly. But I have enough friends and family in the D/FW medical community that are telling me similarly grim tales that I find it believable.

You may also recall my tale about our friends in Oklahoma. The daughter was sent home a couple days ago with clots in her lungs because the physicians on staff at the reservation hospital told her she’d be safer THERE than in their facility. That’s insane…but that’s what’s happening.

And now we’re seeing people deny transfusions if the blood came from vaccinated donors. EDIT: AND the ivermectin idiocy.

I try not to wish evil upon others, but my faith and morals are being sorely tested. So much of this death & suffering is completely unnecessary…

From what I understand, ivermectin entered the arena because of two things:

1) an MD working in Southeast Asia started using the human formulation of ivermectin to kill off parasites in his patients to strengthen their immune responses to other pathogens, including C19. Because this was a moderate success (according to him and a few others)…

2) someone else claimed to do a study on using ivermectin (a dewormer/anti-parasitic) to combat C19 (a virus) itself. The study was published, but was immediately attacked by readers who noted all kinds of anomalies (test subject ages, test subject death dates, etc.) that led to the paper being withdrawn.

Of course, through the lens of the conspiracy theorists and others suspicious of the vaccines, this withdrawal was seen as “censorship“ in the service of “Big Pharma‘s” interests, and some have started taking the veterinary formulation of the drug .

This happened in Italy (and many other places, repeatedly) right at the start of the pandemic.

Some politicians don't lift their gaze one inch.
