If these events have proven anything it’s that these huge organizations like WHO etc. Are irreverent.

The UN would still be relevant and useful if it was doing its intended purpose - to fight AGAINST tyrannical states that threaten world peace, instead of working WITH them and basically becoming a platform for them to influence the world.
Edit: Not just to single out China but to show how awful the UN is, these countries were added to their human rights panel in January: Venezuela (Maduro regime) Mauritania Sudan Libya | |

Feel better soon | Called 811 they recommended me to stay home for 10 days. Fever drop today so that's good. Maybe it was just a chill but going to stay home for 10 days just in case. Quote:

Really? He wants to stay anonymous. Really? He's a violent offender with a long history. If he was in prison for a minor offence, I might have a little sympathy. This guy probably caused a lot of pain and anguish to numerous people and their families. He made a choice. It's bad enough worrying about a deadly virus, but having to worry about a repeat offender out on the streets? No sir............ I'm no, "Confess and we'll forgive." type. Explain it to the victims, this is okay. We don't even know what the particulars are as far as his past criminal activities. Quote: |
The 44-year-old was sentenced in 1998 for 28 years for a number of offences including aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm and forcible confinement. He was released to a halfway house in September of 2019, but he was sent back to prison following issues with staff at the home.
| Quote: |
The parole board’s report makes no mention of the inmate’s health but does say he poses a risk to the community.
| Quote: |
The Correctional Service of Canada says “it is committed to protecting the safety of staff, inmates, and the public in all of our operations.”
|
Also in the news.......... https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/news/2...quarantine-act Quote: |
Violating or failing to comply with the Quarantine Act could have significant penalties, including fines and imprisonment. Maximum penalties include a fine of up to $750,000 and/or imprisonment for six months for failure to comply with this Order. Further, a person who causes a risk of imminent death or serious bodily harm to another person while willfully or recklessly contravening this Act or the regulations could be liable for a fine of up to $1,000,000 or imprisonment of up to three years, or to both.
| There are people who are not self-quarantining for 14 days after they come back to Canada from abroad. I hope these people get nailed to the proverbial cross.

I believe the term is irrelevant, and not irreverent, unless maybe I have you misunderstood. That is all.

irreverent might work............. Quote:
adjective: irreverent
showing a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously.
|
Although, it wasn't used as an adjective.........was it? I'm so confused now. To think gives me a headache these days.

reading random comments on IG and there are still Americans who think this is a "fake virus" and are trying to get their friends to see the "truth"
Almost 6000 have died in the last 3 days there. I can't understand why they don't think this is real or serious.

Really don’t know how much longer this is all sustainable in terms of social isolation etc.
A lot of people I know and work with etc. Are talking about trying to organize bbqs and whatnot and try to social distance there getting together with friends and family. It hasn’t really been too hard for me because the wife and I get along great even stuck with each other day after day but if you live in a small condo and you’re on your own I can really blame em.
They are going to have to figure something out in terms of going out but you must wear a mask etc. Because people are gonna start going out regardless
