Doesn't the news make it to Bumfuck, Canada? Victoria crushed its second wave with masks and lockdowns. They haven't had a case or death now for 40 odd days.
The news makes it here, but the 'rona doesn't.

I'll stay away from your filthy 'Victoria'.

My city has indoor dining, sports teams, school attendance and no cases. Very few cases this year, no deaths from the rona.

Doesn't the news make it to Bumfuck, Australia?

I'm so glad I'm not in the giant bustling metropolis that is Whitehorse.

It's not easy here. I think you would be wise to stay away. It's chilly, barren (some of it's CALLED barren ground) and unpleasant. Heck, it even makes my dog sad.

Well if there's no one in Bumfuck, Canada with the rona, then it's not going to spread, is it? You can't make any conclusions from that. But you can from Bumfuck, Victoria, where there were plenty of cases that were reduced to zero by mask and lockdown mandates.

In Bumfuck Victoria (AKA Melbourne) we are currently relaxing into a summer of increasingly eased restrictions, as we have had a month without new cases or deaths. It was only achieved by harsh, draconian restrictions, applied by a determined government who listened to scientific advice and accepted (if reluctantly) by the vast majority of the population. It stands in stark contrast to the half-arsed, on-again-off-again restrictions of Europe, or the crazy libertarian irrational mess that is the US...

Yep. The combination of measures taken, including lockdowns and wearing masks, worked very well. Victoria had a horrific burst of 18627 new infections between 15 June and 30 October. It peaked at 700 on 5 August. No new cases since 31 October. I kind of doubt this was done by just washing hands, keeping all businesses open, allowing crowds to gather and insisting on the personal freedom to do whatever one likes.

The Northwest-Territories has really good numbers. https://nwt-covid.shinyapps.io/Testing-and-Cases/

It also has a really really low population density. 0.04 p/km². Even traveling to visit your neighbor probably takes longer than the incubation period of the virus ;-)

The Trump vacinne is ready, but the way the media pitches this virus, that won't change a thing.

Expect more lockdowns, mandates, and a third amazon facebook alphabet corp. lockdown.

Trump Jr is working on setting up a little media empire. Press release:
Overline Media Partners (OMP) welcomes Donald Trump Jr. as the first of six founding journalists and public figures in "OG1". Trump Jr., accomplished businessman, author, and political figure, brings a 365-day vision of a rebuilt American media focused on transparency and accountability.

"Americans know the media is broken, we don't have to focus on the negative," says Donald Trump Jr. "The need for accurate, censorship-proof news is both a fundamental right and an enormous opportunity. Together with Kimberly and the amazing people in OMP, we have the technology, capital, and moral imperative to build this. Let's get it done."

As a special acquisition strategy, OMP is a multi-platform vehicle made of "buy-or-build" assets in cable, print, and digital distribution. In addition to extensive financing capabilities, OMP brings unique blockchain technology called Overline Verified Viewer. "With Overline Verified Viewer, networks use popular blockchains to award viewers with digital coins that prove their viewership of a given segment or news anchor," says partner and blockchain research group Overline's CEO Patrick McConlogue. "With these coins awarded to viewers, you don't just have more credible reporters, you have more credible viewers. It's a whole new paradigm for thinking about news."
If you have incredible reporters, you have incredible viewers. Sounds even better. This new paradigm stuff is great! Gimme my Juniorcoin.
