Cracks are forming. We are being lied to

"“Probably the youngest person ever to die of COVID has died here in Connecticut,” Lamont said Wednesday in announcing the baby’s death"
"All patients who die in Connecticut hospitals during the pandemic are being tested for the virus, regardless of their manner of death, so the infant was tested post-mortem and the results came back positive."
"But the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has not ruled that COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, caused the baby's death as of Friday afternoon."
"I don’t know the cause of death of this [infant] that you’re talking about or any of the people, because we don’t determine cause of death,” Cartter said. “We define lab-confirmed COVID-19 associated deaths as anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19, tests positive on a COVID-19 test before or around the time of death. We do not determine causality.”
Because the baby tested positive, it was reported properly as a death connected to a positive COVID-19 test result, Cartter said."
"But Lamont presented the baby’s death as specifically caused by the virus, even though Chief Medical Examiner James Gill’s official cause of death finding is still outstanding."

Basic AAU.
Turns out the dick heads at the FBI and the Southern District of New York (shout out to Billions) were as capable as the Comey Keystone Kops who went after Trump
Well worth a watch. They set up and entrapped the brothers and let all the white guys walk

ESPN is showing some good shit and Masters week is going to be lit.
I’ve got one friend who probably had it (not much testing here as in your country, so unless you’re really ill, you don’t get tested) and her brother definitely did as he was ill enough to be put in hospital, so was tested. Other than that, I don’t know anyone who has had it, although everyone is paying more attention than normal to sneezes, coughs, etc. Which are rife at this time of year anyway, but it’s making everyone a bit hypochondriac. But the death rate is still rising, so I guess the virus will eventually touch the lives of people we know.
Because the UK is now a nation led by idiots and ideologues, policy changes from day to day as does what comes out of politicians’ mouths. First we’re going for herd immunity and too bad for the old and vulnerable who get culled. Eventually we’ve got to the WHO recommendations of physical distancing, isolation, etc, but we’re not bothering with the testing, which is an essential part of that method. We’ve been told for a few years that we don’t need experts and now we’re meant to trust whichever ones the government fancies listening to. Ten years of Tory neoliberal economic policies have left the health service strapped – pandemic wards turned into offices for the increasing number of bureaucrats, PPE gear, masks, etc not purchased so that managers could get their bonuses for keeping to budget, nurses leaving the service en masse after 10 years of no pay increase, training bursaries scrapped, the list goes on. Now we’re hauling doctors out of retirement and expecting all the health staff, including cleaners and porters to deal with virus patients without the right protective clothing and no tests.
And then there’s the benefits system which has been used as a stick to beat unemployed and disabled people with, calling them scroungers and cheats. Now, suddenly loads of people are being laid off as businesses are no longer allowed to operate and people are beginning to understand that “there but for the grace of god go I”.
I could go on about all the other ways successive tory governments have wrecked the country and damaged countless lives, but I think you can get the gist. At least here, our narcissistic clown of a leader has enough intelligence to understand the gravity of the situation and to have some comprehension that he and his cabinet of fools are in way over their head. Whereas your imbecile of a president hasn’t got a clue.
Fucking grim.
Clearly the dental portion doesn't work.
Boris Johnson is now in the hospital
