Blue America isn't America, remember?
Trump also refers to covid-19 as The China Virus, and Kung Flu. :rolleyes:
Meanwhile, the National Cathedral rang their bell 200 times for every 1,000 US deaths.
A fun little graph to show how fucked the US numbers are

Can you explain what that is a graph of? Is it an excess deaths graph? And if so from mean or from confidence intervals? Two very different things.
Data from here:. https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisiona...ng-D/r8kw-7aab

If anyone doesn't remember, Jan 2018 was when the flu was kicking our ass
So yes its an excess deaths graph from mean from the look of it.
Over a quarter of a million net total.
Trump Republicans are betting that seniors don't notice they're considered "nobody", that military vets are "suckers and losers", that "essential workers" are expendable, or that medical science is a HOAX created by the left wing lib'rul cabal/Deep State. If their main source of information is Fox & Friends and Facebook groups, that's not an unreasonable assumption. OMG we are so screwed.
:cry:
The Christians who have to square supporting Trump in their head. The Party of Family Values squaring in their head supporting the Triple Married Adulterer in Chief.
But at least he's not a Muslim Terrorist Supporter like Obama was :)
To recap where Florida is:
Our Republican Governor wants to protect college kids from getting punished for hosting or attending mass gatherings while Covid positive.
Governor has banned fines for not wearing masks.
Masks will not be required to vote in person.
Restaurants are now open at 100% seating capacity.
Superbowl is still on, no restrictions.
All 3 Gasparilla Parades are still scheduled (the main one being the 3rd largest parade in the US).
We are still over ~150 deaths per day. Thats more than twice that of California, even though we have half the population. We are only barely edging out Texas for the moment.
We are so fucked.
And people wonder why the USA has more deaths per capita than any other major developed country on the planet now.
I'll be honest, I'm more than a little worried about the situation here in the Netherlands right now.
Meanwhile, 13% of Republicans believe Covid is a serious issue facing the country right now.
What is a gasparilla?
The UK's world-beating app still beset by inexcusable flaws:

This is not a good start to the second wave. Worse than the issues with the app is the continuing inadequacy of the testing infrastructure:

Staying on top of this wave would've required all of this to work properly weeks ago. Extremely worrying. Ofc, many other developed nations are also struggling with the same solvable problems, due to political failure.
This so-called "leader" is just such a despicable bullshitter:

And it got even worse:

Johnson's just so ridiculously out of his depth, relying wholly on ignorant contradictory bullshit to divert attention away from the govt's failures. Testing and tracing has always been and continues to be vital to controlling outbreaks, as official statements have recognized. The only way Johnson can even remotely justify his position that that is not the case, is if one completely disregards the role of pre-, pauci- & asymptomatic transmission. Trying to pin the blame on regular citizens is esp. contemptible in light of the govt's deliberate efforts to bring about a situation that undermines strategies based on physical distancing.
When he resigns at the end of the year it'll definitely make 2020 feel less shitty.
A celebration about a pirate invasion that never happened by a pirate that doesn't exist
It's mainly an excuse for floridians to dress slutty, get drunk in public and flash their tits. There is a boat invasion, kids parade, main parade, and the night parade (which is mainly used to see which crews can complete the parade route completely smashed). There are usually a few runs in there too but I don't know the status of them.

Sounds like fun. Surprised I've never heard of it before.
Probably smart to skip a year though.
Anti-lockdown protest in Trafalgar Square?
Twitter Link
Absolute lunatics. I've always said that there's no real difference between the far left and the far right, its a circle that joins and here it has, these anti-lockdown protests are far left and far right conspiracy nuts joining forces together. Usual faces of batshit crazies organising it.
Hey Steely can you confirm that you far left wingnuts are palling it up with fascists in Trafalgar Square? I need real corroboration from a trustworthy source.
