After they already made it mandatory to wear masks in public (except on the beaches), the authorites of Mallorce have shut down many of the German party animals most favourite bars and pubs in the Germans' preferred partying hotspts of the Mallorca party miles. Reason is the excessive misbehaviour of German tourists. Spanish employees of whom you would think they benefit from toruiosts returening, have protested randomly against the Germans - I think that illustrates more than anythign else how far off the marks the German barbars are.

Trump administration has ordered hospitals to begin reporting their covid-19 statistics to the Department of Health and Human Services instead of CDC.

They are doing this because they want to hide from the media/people the number of cases of the virus in the USA. Trump doesn't like the high numbers and he is behind this BS. IMHO the hospitals should continue to report their case numbers to the CDC as before so that the people and press can know the truth about the number of cases. We should not politicize this virus and science should lead the way to the elimination of the virus.

What does this mean? Does mean we might have a vaccine by December?

I went to the VA yesterday and I saw them testing people that drive up and they even had a tent and men and women asking you questions before you could get in, but I just went in for my heart scan and left.

I just couldn't do it ... I chickened out on getting the test to find out

The place was weird with chairs staggered six feet apart everyone wearing mask and that mask got tiring after an hour wait.

I feel sorry for the people that have to work there day after day

I'm back safe in my man cave now and I doubt if I will venture out again

And I understand you very well.

Here in Denmark and Sweden, there are two type of test

First is the one which tells you if you have had Corona or still have it.

Seeing it from a psychological point of view this test is bad.

Example you get tested and the result is positive...NOW do you have the Corona in your body and thereby risking getting more sick OR did you have corona virus in your body and they are now dead-your body have killed them.

As I have said to my friends, the day the test can see the different between living and dead corona virus, I may take the test...but only if I have some of the known symptoms.

The other test is the immunity test. Here they test you to see if you have developed anti-thing

Do people in the US actually b eleuve these bizarre attempts by Trump's minions to now discredit Fauci and make him responsible for the murderous mismanagement by Führer Trump?


Lies, lying, lying all time long - this grrreat man's whole life seems to be a single big lie. Does he even exist - or is that maybe a lie, too?

Maybe because some states are reporting nearly all deaths as covid related to jack up the numbers for political reasons.


Gun shot but also had the sniffles? - Covid death.
Get hit by a bus but tested positive? - Covid death.
Strangled by jealous husband while not wearing a mask? - Covid death.
