She did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment. *********** The lady definitely having a mental breakdown. In other news report, she claims to be QAnon spokesperson and uses the N word multiple times. So probably not the best human being out there. The video I watched I felt so sorry for the police officer - he was talking to her and she kept saying she was being tracked, the conversation was being recorded and beamed out, clearly she had a really high belief that big Government is spying on everyone and everything is a conspiracy. My immediate reaction in watching her tear the display apart is that she was 'batsh&t crazy'. Not sure what ever happened to the more well accepted approach of "if you don't like something, walk away". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPA Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 COVID-19: Vancouver bar patrons may have been exposed to virus http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/covid-19-vancouver-bar-patrons-may-have-been-exposed-to-virus/ar-BB16ppVl?li=AAggXBV&ocid=iehp Vancouver Coastal Health is alerting bar patrons who were at Vancouver’s Hotel Belmont a week ago that they may have been exposed to the novel coronavirus. The VCH says individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 were at the hotel’s bar and nightclub on both June 27 and 29. Bar-goers who patronized the Hotel Belmont, located at the corner of Nelson and Granville streets, on either of those nights are advised to monitor themselves for 14 days. “As long as they remain healthy and do not develop symptoms, there is no need to self-isolate and they should continue with their usual daily activities. If you have no symptoms, testing is not recommended because it is not accurate or useful,” the VCH said in a statement. “If you develop any of these symptoms of COVID-19, please seek COVID-19 testing and immediately self-isolate. Please call ahead and wear a mask when seeking testing.” The VCH said there is no known risk to anyone who were at the Hotel Belmont outside these two dates. *********** FYI...you know the drill.

BPA Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/sweden-has-become-the-worlds-cautionary-tale/ar-BB16rAdT?li=AAggNb9&ocid=iehp LONDON — Ever since the coronavirus emerged in Europe, Sweden has captured international attention by conducting an unorthodox, open-air experiment. It has allowed the world to examine what happens in a pandemic when a government allows life to carry on largely unhindered. This is what has happened: Not only have thousands more people died than in neighboring countries that imposed lockdowns, but Sweden’s economy has fared little better. Advertisement “They literally gained nothing,” said Jacob F. Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. “It’s a self-inflicted wound, and they have no economic gains.” But Sweden’s grim result — more death, and nearly equal economic damage — suggests that the supposed choice between lives and paychecks is a false one: A failure to impose social distancing can cost lives and jobs at the same time. ************ What not to do in a pandemic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for some of the businesses, Clubs may be douchebag culture for the most part but some are decent, focusing on music. A lot of the pubs have developed a cool bar culture focusing on craft beer and good food. That one with the covid case is the Belmont, that and the Colony across the street are in a Barcade style. Fun places to go with all the oldschool games. Colony even has indoor bocce ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctors described Cordero's lungs as looking like "Swiss cheese," as though "he’d been a heavy smoker his entire life." "Even to live he would’ve needed a full double-lung transplant and you only get those if you're healthy in all other ways," Braff said. "So the machines were really truly keeping him alive. "His blood pressure wasn't strong enough so the tips of all his fingers and toes were blackening and they would have had to have been removed had he lived." Due to blood clots caused by the disease, Cordero had to have his leg amputated, was placed on dialysis and needed a pacemaker. ****************** F Covid-19. Even if you survive it, there is a chance your body is damaged beyond repair. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
