Question is whether my "they" referred to the UK or only the lefty labourites.

How's it going in Florida now? Is most of the state infected yet?

I thought the store was full of zombies and then realized it was just old people.

Even slight relaxing brings a new wave of infections:
Hong Kong
CNN
Officials in the city have been facing criticism for their handling of the latest wave, particularly over the large number of quarantine exemptions given to business travelers and airline crew, which some blamed for reintroducing the virus to the city. However, the government has defended the policy as necessary for the economy, and health authorities have not yet been able to track where the latest infections originated.

Our covidiots had a mass demonstration in the capital yesterday. The police estimates 20,000 participants so it was most likely not more than 30,000. I saw aerial photos of the demonstration. I was at the Love Parade in Berlin in 1999 where there were about 1.5 million people. The covidiot demo covered only a tiny percentage of the Love Parade area and the people weren't crowding as close as we were during the Love Parade, so the police estimate seems reasonable to me. Still, the covidiots claim they were 1.3 million people. :rolleyes:

So, one of the covidiots made a video where he uses the appearance of the shadows to try to proof that the image was taken at 1pm before the actual Demonstration started. But there's a clock on the photo showing that it was taken at 4pm ...

Image was hot-linked and does not appear.

“Sewage systems are a good reflection of society,” says part-time Professor of Water and Health at TU Delft, Prof. Gertjan Medema. Through the KWR water research institute in Nieuwegein, he is leading the research into traces of the coronavirus.

Over the telephone, KWR researcher Dr Frederic Beén said that “Analysing sewage water is very relevant for research into the health and behaviour of society. Ten years ago we already examined traces of drugs in waste water, and the RIVM has tested the incidence of diseases such as polio and hepatitis for even longer.”

From previous publications (December 2019) Medema had understood that many corona patients also got diarrhoea and that viral RNA and the virus itself were found in excrement. Medema thus decided to screen the sewage water for viral RNA for two reasons. One, he wanted to know if the virus spread through waste water; and two, to see if the screening of sewage sludge could be used as a means to monitor infections in a given area.

The controversial Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson has contracted COVID-19, his daughter told the Sun, a tabloid newspaper in the United Kingdom.

“He’ll get better, but he’s definitely taken a step back and it’s just really unfortunate … it’s been a disaster,” Mikhaila Peterson told the newspaper.

Mikhaila Peterson said her dad caught COVID-19 in a Serbian hospital, where he’d been recovering from treatment, and had also caught pneumonia.

“He was put on a whole bunch of, kind of preemptively, he was put on anti-virals and things,” Mikhaila Peterson told the Sun. “I don’t know if that was necessary, because his symptoms weren’t that bad — he didn’t have a cough, he had a mild fever, but they just put him on everything.

“And so now we’ve had a step back in his recovery. Life is just not good, things are not good right now,” she said.

I know that Schadenfreude is evil, but I am very tempted to feel it when self-improvement gurus end in chaos.
