So, several months into this the virus is rebounding almost everywhere. Of course the US hasn't slowed down once, they are currently up to 4 million, apparently the situation is so dangerous that the RNC has to be cancelled but Trump still wants to open schools, will Americans notice this stupidity? I don't remember if I talked about this earlier but Trump is trying to stop the CDC from collecting data and redirect it to a DC department, America takes one more step towards becoming China or some such "shithole" country, along with using unmarked police to tear gas, arrest and detain people in Portland Oregon, including protesting moms, things are really getting bad in the worlds greatest democracy! On top of all that unemployment benefits are due to run out at the end of the month and Senate Republicans think this is the time to take a vacation! No wonder Biden is up 10 to 15 points in the polls! Let me just add that during this period Trump thought it important to remove the portraits of Bill Clinton and George W. from a public foyer in the White House and replace them with Teddy Roosevelt and William McKinley, WTF? The last guy was assassinated, why bring up a "loser" of history like this? So many weird things going on as Trump spirals into self pity. Ironically Dr. Fauci is becoming a superstar in the media, more popular in spades over Trump, he threw out the first pitch in the covid era Major League Baseball thing, I dont follow sports I guess this is important?. Also of note the baseball players took a knee in support of Black Lives Matter all of this ought to burn Trumps ass!!! I hope it bothers him as much as the giant Black Lives Matter painted on 5th Ave in front of Trump tower NY. Ha ha!
Meanwhile in Canada cases are ticking up as they are in many places around the world, like Tokyo and Europe, countries that were once doing very well are now seeing more cases. Actually Alberta is taking the lead in Canada right now so lets go ahead with opening schools! Calgary is seeing a three fold increase in cases mostly in the 20-30 something age group. I guess the right wing idiots of this world still think the economy is more important than peoples health, people can't get back to work until their kids get back to school. Many parents complain they cannot handle their kids and are desperate to get them back in school. Really? If you can't stand them then imagine how the rest of us feel!?!?! Geeze!
As global totals close in on 16 million this thing shows no signs of stopping soon. Just like the god damned hail storms that keep wrecking destruction on my garden we are at the mercy of nature!

A Pandemic Journal, Will Stupid Run It's Course???
In 2019 my favourite and yes, still active, British synth duo The Pet Shop Boys released the song, "Lets Give Stupidity A Chance" a satire of Brexit politics and direct jab at Trump. The lyrics just become more and more poignant as the Pandemic wears on; "Intelligent people have had their say, time for the foolish to show the way." "We've heard quite enough of experts and their dealings, why face the facts when you can feel the feelings?" And this is why a band who formed over 30 years ago is more relevant than any of the kids today who sing about what? Their face tattoos? It seems quite fitting that these lyrics are reflecting reality as Trump is actively trying to derail Dr. Anthony Fauci, now claiming there are two sides to factual science. Really! Yes this is the first time in history that a President has actively tried to and may likely fire Americas leading Dr. on infectious diseases.The Trump administration is actually conducting opposition research on Fauci, I guess because Trump still thinks this is a messaging battle and not a life and death situation? Such is the US right now, Trump has cancelled his New Hampshire rally recently and Disney World is reopening as Florida cases surge into the stratosphere, it is widely reported that if Florida were it's own country it would be 4th among countries right now!
In a stupidly ironic moment a 30 year old American who attended a "Covid Party" (where attendees try to contract the virus and win a pot of money if first) apparently says to a nurse on his death bed " I think I made a mistake, I thought it was a hoax but it is not" Ahhh the omnipotence of youth! This is the effect of a generation raised without consequences I guess!?
As cases surge into the tens of thousands daily across the US the Presidents popularity is dropping even falling behind Biden in Texas, Florida and Arizona, all covid hot spots. And still these dummies are now pushing for kids to get back to school! I already saw a protest of parents blocking school buses in Detroit as summer school is set to start (?) I just can't see how people will willingly endanger their kids and families for the sake of this stupid administration, and really, sending out Betsy Devos to say in her Mayor of South Park accent that schools should reopen yet there is no actual plan if the virus starts getting out of control is just more stupid icing on this cake! This ding-a-ling woman who is a rich Republican donor has no business running her estates' landscaping let alone the Department of Education! So much ineptitude by this administration but what did you expect?
Locally there are too many summer crowds at local lakes and last night I went out to see the Stampede fireworks only to find myself surrounded by crowds! It's all still too dangerous, I tried to duck the crowds as best as I could but I still couldn't believe the mini traffic jam along 8th Ave NE! My neighbours are returning to work soon, at different times but people are getting back to normal, no more bloody outdoor exercise routines! Yay! I still believe there will be 2nd wave by they fall probably worse than the first one (this is what experts say) and unlike the stupid President I listen to experts!

A Pandemic Journal, July is Really Heating Up!
Early July and the pandemic in certain countries is going nuts. In an awesome turn of events piece of shit and worst human in modern history Bolsonero of Brazil has contracted the virus! Yay! I hope it's very serious! He is still promoting hydroxychloroquine, the drug touted by Trump as a cure for covid, it doesn't work, I hope it kills him. The Amazon is burning while this guy is busily helping the virus take over his country, firing medical experts, stopping the counting of cases and so much more!
Florida cases are going crazy as well now the concern is running out of hospital beds all over the states, it is becoming a big crisis. Now I hear that my in-laws are buying a place in Florida but the funny part is that my mother-in-law finds the whole idea "disgusting" lol, I'm with ya there!!!! What an utterly ridiculous idea right now, you won't even be able to go there until who knows when, maybe not this winter, geeze! Well the brother-in-law loves his republican ideas so enjoy the effects dummy, no sympathy from me! Also my neighbours have abandoned plans to move to Spain, they don't want to experience it in lockdown, I know, the whole world is ruined now isn't it!? In another hilarious turn of events the European Union is allowing some international visitors including Canada but not the US!!!! I know this will weigh heavily on their conscience, Americans don't like being left out, declared too dangerous like Brazil and Russia to travel. I thought this would happen, but for different reasons, maybe for being racist know-nothing loudmouths! It is important to note here that Trump is travelling to Florida not to talk about the virus but to talk about drug smuggling, don't put yourself in covids way oh wise orange one! He is also beating the drum of making schools open this fall, probably another stupid idea that the public will hate. I truly believe that as this virus affects more and more people the chances of Trump being reelected dwindle, they don't want to wear masks how about forcing your kids go to school?, good one Trump!
I have just heard that Toronto and Ottawa are making masks mandatory in public, like in a by-law way. So I hope my Republican loving in-laws enjoy that! LOL, I think they should be mandatory everywhere!
We hear more and more that this virus is effecting people in the 20-40 year old range, if you ask me we could get rid of half this generation and the world would be a better place! Awww who will watch Tiger King or Floor Is Lava?
I probably haven't mentioned here that young people in the US have been having covid parties, betting who will get covid first out of these large gatherings, this is a real thing! This is how stupid young Americans are why mandatory mask wearing is probably where this is all headed.
It just seems like the US could be headed down a path to total crisis, hospitals will fill up, people will die en masse and Republican dip shit Governors are going to have to defend their stupid decisions that led everyone here, I really don't see a way out politically especially for king dip shit Trump!
I still want to know how and why Alberta tried testing hydroxychloroquine and how it was quietly pulled from Alberta Health trial testing, no one mentioned it when the UN and WHO declared it dangerous and the medical community ceased touting this drug all together. Huh, funny that? Our stupid conservative led local media didn't say one thing???

A Pandemic Journal, Happy Canada Day, 4th of July
Ahhh Summer national holidays! And really a tale of two countries, one with a strong Federal Government and national health care the other led by a dangerously stupid narcissist delegating all responsibility down the line. Canada like the other normal democracies has bent the curve and reopening carefully as cases decline, cases in Canada this week just over 100,000 now compare to the US who stands at over 3 million! Turns out Texas, Florida and especially Republican states are showing a huge uptick in cases mostly due to stupidity! In Florida where cases have exploded to 100,000 in a week, over 3,000 cases daily, the angry bug up his ass- Desantis insists the growth in cases is due to more testing, echoing the dip shit in chief Trump and is also blaming young people. Well, I also blame young people but who cares? Blame is not helping anything, make people wear masks!!!
Canada Day was a low key affair with a message from the PM and no celebrations, compare to Trumps 4th of July corona-palooza events! In a life imitating art moment Trump is like something out of a South Park episode where Cartman has decided that more people should get the virus and cause a forest fire while also insulting all minorities prompting more rioting in the streets. On Friday Trump goes to Mount Rushmore to hold a rally with people crammed together not wearing masks, have fireworks in a normally fire restricted forest and basically insult all minorities, happy 4th everyone, hope y'all get the virus! It does not help that the Governor of South Dakota is also like some made up character with the accent of the South Park Mayor and the looks and personality of a FOX News beauty! Sheesh! We already know that 8 Secret Service members contracted covid in Arizona on the trip with Pence and Pepe The Frog lookalike Kimberly Gilfoyle (Trump Jr. girlfriend) contracted covid as well. These people attending these rallies not taking precautions are fools and they are asking for it. My question is how long will it take for cases to explode from this BS and Trump has to cancel his rallies prompting him to god knows what juvenile reaction!?!?! The contrast between Trump and normal leaders is the belief in science, Trump does not want to believe facts, as right wing pundit David Frum said recently "he is affected by magical thinking" he does not want to believe reality it's what crashed his stupid businesses and it is killing Americans right now and will kill more. Right now Biden has a 12 point national lead in the polls and we hear Republicans are panicking, oh well, you created this monster you deal with the fallout!!!
As for young people, I overheard a young man recently bragging about how he follows the rules in public but not in private and I believe this is the attitude of most young people. This generation all won medals remember and never had to sacrifice anything so I think mask wearing should be mandatory in public, it's very simple and will help. Do you want to have some semblance or normality or go down the path of stupidville USA????
Well, it's supposed to be Stampede time in Calgary but it is cancelled of course, I miss the nightly fireworks however the dog does not, but I miss the fun energy in a way too. At least we don't have a beach, just seeing on TV all the footage of Americans flocking to the beach, it's stupid!
A curious thing happened all across America on the 4th of July, thousands of fireworks in every city across the nation. Now we know Americans love the 4th and fireworks but just the sheer number of them as we saw in a shot of the L.A. skyline must have deeper meaning. It is a sign of the times and I think shows deeper feelings about the virus, the stupid President, where the country is going etc. these are crazy times don't ignore spontaneous public displays.
