A little perspective for our southern neighbors; if you've ever wondered how you are seen from the outside, here's a Canadian hockey writer discussing(in a Canadian newspaper) the possibility of an all-Canadian NHL division this year :

God bless our neighbours to the south. We truly hope America gets its issues resolved and finds peace and harmony. But between the COVID numbers, racial unrest, political chaos and dudes just walking around the street with semi-automatic rifles (WTF?), giving them a little space while they work things out is probably for the best right now.

The whole article is kind of tongue-in-cheek but I think he nailed the feelings of a lot of us in the above paragraph.

Talk of an All-Canadian Division in the NHL generated plenty of excitement across the country, with hockey fans from Vancouver to Montreal dreaming about…

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's number of COVID-19 cases has increased by 1,543 on Thursday — another new single-day record for new cases. Six deaths also were reported Thursday, according to the Utah Department of Health.

Health officials had dire words Thursday as Utah continues to experience a COVID-19 surge that Gov. Gary Herbert called one of the worst in the country earlier this month.

"I don't know what to do anymore," health department state epidemiologist Dr. Angela Dunn said at a Thursday news conference. "I'm really not trying to scare anyone, I'm just trying to inform you."

The rolling seven-day average number of positive cases per day is now at 1,288, according to the health department. The positive test rate per day for that time period is now 15.5%.

I can't believe we are 8 months in and don't have enough PPE for everyone. The 1918 Pandemic death rate was understandable. Public health was a new concept and we struggled. But today infectious disease response is understood by everyone. This smacks of a deliberate mass killing.

Finally if the government is paying Scott Atlas for infectious disease advice someone needs to look into suing him for malpractice. Taking that further the states should look at suing the feds for their failed response.

76,000 new cases yesterday.

Do you believe in Covid-19?

I do not think this so called virus, which doesnt even fullfill one of the Henle-Koch postulates, even exists.
(I wanted to start a threat with a Poll with my Question but I dont know how)

That being the case, you are hereby drafted into the vaccine trials.

Since it doesn't exist, you will be in no danger and the rest of us need to study the trial data.

Thanks for being a good citizen.

Covid-19 Live Updates: U.S. Nears Record, With More Than 75,000 Virus Cases
Source: NY Times

More than 75,000 cases of the coronavirus were announced in the United States on Thursday, the second-highest daily total nationwide since the pandemic began. Eight states set single-day case records, and 13 states have added more cases in the past week than in any other seven-day stretch.

The Midwest and the Rocky Mountains are struggling to contain major outbreaks, while new hot spots are emerging in other parts of the country. Officials in Kentucky announced more than 1,470 cases on Thursday, the biggest one-day jump in that state. And more than 1,300 cases were recorded in Colorado, setting another single-day record. In Chicago, which officials said is averaging 645 new cases a day this week, a nighttime curfew will be imposed on businesses starting on Friday.

The country almost surpassed its record in mid-July, when over 77,000 infections were recorded in one day. As of Friday morning, more than 8.4 million people in the country have been infected with the coronavirus and at least 223,000 have died, according to a New York Times database.

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday that it had formally approved remdesivir as the first drug to treat Covid-19, the diseased caused by the coronavirus. The antiviral drug had been approved for adults and patients 12 years of age and older, and weighing at least 40 kilograms, for Covid-19 treatments requiring hospitalization, the F.D.A. said. The approval comes less than two weeks before the presidential election. Mr. Trump has been pushing for a vaccine to be approved before the Nov. 3 vote.

The bleak numbers came as President Trump declared at the final presidential debate on Thursday that, despite evidence, the virus was “going away,” while his challenger, Joseph R. Biden Jr., warned of a “dark winter” ahead that required aggressive federal action.

When Mr. Trump said “we’re learning to live with” the coronavirus, Mr. Biden shot back, “we’re learning to die with it.”
