Listened to at least 3 versions of Jesus Christ Superstar this weekend so I always have a problem getting the songs out of my head! This is why we only listen to it once a year. What's the buzz tell me what's a happenin' is one earworm, there are many! I watch the news almost daily but cannot tell you much, there are some major events from time to time, new policies, new deaths etc , but mostly it's just a bunch of feel-goodery and I change the channel, I have always hated feel-good stories they are a waste of time! The weather is just a rollercoaster these days but Easter was super windy and cold with snow, windchill must have been at least -10 Saturday and Sunday, jeeze! We cooked a ham, it was awesome! a perfect blend of scalloped potatoes, hot mustard and cooked greens with sweet Easter bread, so good!
So what are the numbers? As of Tuesday April 14th the world total is 1.9 million, US is at +598,000, Canada +26,000, Alberta 1732, Calgary 1114, still very high in the city with most deaths occurring at one old folks home, what do we call them now? Care Centres? Cripes! Remember when Trump wanted to open the US up for business by Easter? well that didn't happen! It seems most people even our knucklehead cousins in the states know this virus is dangerous and wish to self isolate! Things will not be getting back to normal soon, or ever! Who knows? Yesterday Trump went on a stupid rampage saying he has the power to make the states do whatever he wants, it's just another line of complete stupidity from this dipshit, uuuhhh no he doesn't, are you new to America??? It's all rather rich after years of Republicans yelling "States rights" all the time. For whatever reason the American media is saying that the curve may be flattening (ie the cases of covid are lessening) but I think they are being too positive, it may be flattening in NY and New Jersey but there are so many other regions of the country, it won't be flattening anytime soon. Now, looking at the graph for Canada it would appear that our curve is flattening but we are in a very different situation than the US.
I heard that the U of A is going to conduct tests on the Trump-touted drug chloroquine, it sounds like it needs more explanation and I have many questions such as why are we testing this BS idea that came right out of Trumps asshole??? Another waste of money from Kenney? I just don't trust the process of how this happened as much as I don't trust how Alberta has so much PPE and other medical supply that we can share it with BC, Ontario and Quebec! It's all too fishy to me!
There is talk of a quick test to see if we have antibodies to the virus but the story I saw about it had so much technical problems I couldn't watch it, this is the new style of TV now, bad skype connections!
Saturday Night Live attempted to do a show with the cast doing small bits from home, it wasn't very funny, same with Bill Mahr. If the #metoo movement didn't kill comedy this virus sure did! It makes one wonder if the world will ever be the same again? Saw an expert saying we may never have large gatherings again which made Gord say maybe we shouldn't build the new arena? And as usual he is probably right! I think I'm going to send this question to the dummies at City Hall!
Hearing in the news that many people are getting sick, Dr's and nurses of course but also cashiers and those who work in other food industries,meat packing, distribution etc. Get ready to check your privilege people! We don't all have the luxury of self isolating!
Looking forward to the weather warming up and getting into the garden again, quarantine and life will be so much easier with warm weather! It has been a real drag this year! The weather has been well below normal since Gords dad died, so it's been over a month of cold, like a bonus February! Geeze!
