She is from BC. Claims to be the queen of Qnon of some bullshit.
She looks Filipino.
Filipinos are the WORST when it comes to online propaganda and all that bullshit. Not even to make them sound like a monolith, but most of them get their news from Facebook and Tiktok.
Those crazy fools are about to vote in the exiled ex-president Marco's son and Duterte's daughter ffs
Yeah, the feds put in an immediate ban on all foreigners who travelled through these African countries:
The countries affected by the new ban include South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Eswatini. Anyone who has recently travelled to any of the nations is being asked to immediately self-isolate and get a COVID-19 test
The new measures put forth by federal officials are in effect immediately and will ban the entry of foreign nationals who have visited seven southern African nations in the last two weeks

The news just gives all this info with no context at all. 30 mutations! We’re fucked!
Get vaccinated, put a mask on and get on with your lives because honestly this isn’t going away. Or build the bomb shelter and get your mr noodles and live out the rest of your lives in there waiting for it to go away.
Or don’t get vaccinated and either do that or get the freedom tube if you really want.

The Vancouver man notoriously known for running a makeshift nightclub in his downtown penthouse earlier this year, despite COVID-19 orders, has pleaded guilty to new charges and is headed to jail again.
According to police, 43-year-old Mohammad Movassaghi violated his court orders back in August by hosting more for-profit penthouse parties, prompting another investigation.
He was arrested on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to two counts of failure to comply with an order of the health officer and one count of selling liquor.
He’s been sentenced to 29 days in jail, as well as a year probation, and a $10,000 fine.

Yep she speaks Tagalog.
In other news Doug fords son in law is afraid of needles so he lost his job as a cop.
This is his son in law.
Spoiler!
I bet those ass cheeks have never seen a needle in their lives.
He is also a trump supporter.
Spoiler!

Lol, definitely fits the profile of a cop who’s done a few stop and frisks of a certain demographic.
I guess “he should have just complied”
Now he’s gonna have to go work for his sister at Ku Klux Kupcakes

Α α. Alpha a
Β β Beta b
Γ γ Gamma g
Δ δ Delta d
Ε ε Epsilon e
Ζ ζ Zeta z
Η η Eta h
Θ θ Theta th
Ι ι Iota i
Κ κ Ka ppa k
Λ λ Lambda l
Μ μ Mu m
Ν ν Nu n
Ξ ξ Xi x Ο ο Omicron
Π π Pi p
Ρ ρ Rho r
Σ σ,ς * Sigma s
Τ τ Tau t
Υ υ Upsilon u
Φ φ Phi ph
Χ χ Chi ch
Ψ ψ Psi ps
Ω ω Omega o
We skipped Nu probably because it sounds too much like Mu and Xi well probably because a certain Country would not like that
There will always be variants, there's variants of every virus we deal with on a regular basis from the common cold, to flu, etc.
What is the point in whipping people up about COVID variants? This virus will continue to be with us, and continue to evolve/change.
Seems such a waste of energy to worry about it IMHO.
The appearance of a variant is not scary in itself - that's why I posted that tweet thread from the doctor explaining that it could mean nothing. But it's still news because it has to be treated seriously, because unlike cold or flu variants, a particularly dangerous covid variants would put us in a world of hurt.
We don't know if this is one or not; it's probably not. But it could be, which is why many countries are blocking flights from Africa now.
Keeping up with covid news in the covid thread is not really fear porn... But I can see why shitty talk shows and bad faith news sources would use it to create that...

I think if you were here right now skinny and watching things like global news and shit you’d see what mike is talking about. I don’t disagree with its importance, but the tone and delivery of these types of events are absolutely sensationalist.

I've come to learn Global is pretty shitty as a news source. They are all about the clickbaits and you really need to sift through what they are trying to say.
They stopped using regional names for pretty obvious reasons, and I can't think of any good reason to argue against the change. If you can, go ahead and try, and make yourself look like a stupid asshole.
I only answer to my username, my real name is Irrelevant!

Makes discussion, tracking, investigating easier. Instead of having to research the source locale, it'd be right there in the name, then u can immediately consider regional affects/effects
There's also the risk of overlooking events because that regional connection isn't immediately made
Sure it may just be one, or two more steps, but that's besides the point
