Here down under Gladys' huge bungle now accounts for over 22,000 infections as deaths hit 100. :-(

Meanwhile the U.S. will have the grand opening of its 40 million plus clubhouse during this current reporting period as the rush is on (mostly by republican run states) to secure more morgue trailers.

And then there's the new COVID strain that has surfaced in South Africa.

‘Doomsday’ Covid variant detected in South Africa even worse than Delta strain.

A “doomsday” Covid variant has been detected in South Africa – and there are warnings it is worse than the Delta variant.

A new preprint study by South Africa’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases warns the new variant has “mutated substantially” and is more mutations away from the original virus detected in Wuhan than any other variant previously detected.

The new variant, known as C. 1.2, first emerged in South Africa but has also been detected in England, China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mauritius, New Zealand, Portugal and Switzerland.

It could pose challenges to the first generation of vaccines. Scientists say it’s also possible that people in the United Kingdom who were infected with the earlier variants could be vulnerable to reinfection.

Epidemiologist Dr Eric Feigl-Ding said the research suggested the new variant has “mutated substantially” and is more mutations away from the original virus than any other variant detected so far worldwide”.

Wear your mask, get your shot!

NOPE

I love watching Professional Golf. Mostly because da Links are PACKED With Maskless Peoples.

Bumping Shoulders. Maskless Faces within a foot of Each Other.

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

Dull not to worry as I have previously posted, Q has stated you will get your manditory covid vacine which has the 5G mind controlling microchip which Bill Gates had developed. The overlords led by George Soros will have you rendered compliant and you will be happy wearing a mask!

The guidelines for spectators are available at https://www.pgatour.com/knowbeforeyougo.html

Masks/Face Coverings
Indoors: Per CDC Guidelines, regardless of vaccination status, masks are required at all times indoors or in fully enclosed spaces, unless actively eating or drinking.
Outdoors: Per CDC Guidelines, fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a mask outdoors unless otherwise mandated by state or local law or regulations and unvaccinated individuals should wear a mask outdoors when they cannot be socially distant or otherwise mandated by state or local law or regulations.

Prior to Arrival
Those who feel ill or are experience symptoms of COVID-19 will not be admitted to PGA TOUR tournaments. Please check your temperature before arrival to confirm you do not have a fever of over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or more. For more information on symptoms and procedures for those experiencing them, please visit the CDC’s website, which can be found here.

Arrival
Upon arrival to the event, each guest must acknowledge that they are not experiencing any symptoms of COVID.

So if those guidelines are followed and as golf courses always seem to be windy places the chances of infection should be low.

... And that is just one of the less imaginative 'simple' Conspiracies...

Where's all the UFOs and leprechauns and Boojumwoojits??...


Instead, stay real in the real world?

Far simpler than the fanciful Conspiracies, by far!


Stay safe folks!

I got a PM from Pierre Castro so I'll just copy and paste it here.

You criticize your politicians, and rightly so.
I watch John Cadogan on youtube, an Australian engineer, a Salty Dog, who i agree with.
His 2 videos on Covid-19 are well worth watching if you have a scientific/mathematical bent.

I'd post the links in the seti forums, but can't post there due to a zero credit limit.

Cheers.

I've known young John Cadogan for a long time as an Aussie motoring journalist, but he's got a bee in his bonnet this time to do something different.

[edit] Meanwhile the limo driver that started our latest outbreak has been fined for Covid breach.

This morning it has been revealed that the Bondi limousine driver dubbed the “index case’’ in the nation’s worst Covid outbreak has copped a $500 fine for breaking NSW public health orders.

Police say the driver was not wearing a face mask while waiting at a bus stop – which is in breach of the strict rules in the state.

The Daily Telegraph reports he was sitting on an outdoor bench near his Bondi home without wearing a protective mask.

It's not hard to see where he failed his job and he should've been fined more for being so stupid.

Cheers.

So if those guidelines are followed and as golf courses always seem to be windy places the chances of infection should be low.

Like I said 'ODDs' aka 'CHANCEs'.

By da By.

I've worked at a Golf Course and I've Played.

Can't Agree with 'always seem to be windy places'.

Death Still Air at times. Cool or Muggy. One Wished fo a 'Wind' Specially one which can 'help' da Stroke.

Sorry Broheim.

At Golf Turneys, People are being People and They are SUPER CLOSE and SPEWING dat LUNG Exhaust in Each Others Face.

And I Hear ZILCH 'bout a 'Spread'.

Besides. Da WHOLE GAMBIT 'bout 'SAFETY' is to CONvince people to VAXX and MASK.

NO MATTER WHAT.

'cause da CV 'bug' is a LURKIN' BABY!!!!!!

No sighting yet that the golf was a spreader even. Unlike https://www.thedailybeast.com/sturgis-rally-is-what-a-vaccine-era-coronavirus-superspreader-event-looks-like

Paywall, try this link.

South Dakota Covid cases quintuple after Sturgis motorcycle rally.

Two weeks after the annual motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, reported Covid infections in the state have risen nearly sixfold.

South Dakota counted 3,819 new cases in the past two weeks, including seven deaths, up from 644 cases in the 14 days preceding it. That makes it the state with the largest percent increase in Covid cases in the past two weeks.

The state's rate of Covid-19 infections per capita in the past two weeks is in the bottom half of the country, but it's the sharp and sudden increase in case counts that sets it apart.

Meade County, home to Sturgis, has counted 330 new cases in the last two weeks, up from the 20 reported in the two weeks before the rally, according to Johns Hopkins University's case count. The 1,550 percent increase comes after the motorcycle rally, which usually draws around half a million people, possibly had its biggest year ever, according to County Sheriff Ron Merwin.

South Dakota and West Virginia are now the 2 U.S. states with the biggest increases in infections per capita.

I thought that there has been something fishy about Florida's death numbers of late.

Florida changed its COVID-19 data, creating an ‘artificial decline’ in recent deaths.

As cases ballooned in August, however, the Florida Department of Health changed the way it reported death data to the CDC, giving the appearance of a pandemic in decline, an analysis of Florida data by the Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald found.

On Monday, Florida death data would have shown an average of 262 daily deaths reported to the CDC over the previous week had the health department used its former reporting system, the Herald analysis showed. Instead, the Monday update from Florida showed just 46 “new deaths” per day over the previous seven days.

The dramatic difference is due to a small change in the fine print. Until three weeks ago, data collected by DOH and published on the CDC website counted deaths by the date they were recorded — a common method for producing daily stats used by most states. On Aug. 10, Florida switched its methodology and, along with just a handful of other states, began to tally new deaths by the date the person died.

The true RINO cover up has started.

Thanks for that.
You've saved me having to search for the explanation as I was also curious about the very low number of deaths in Florida.

I didn't know that The Beast was behind a wall. I'm not registered there, but have no problem opening their pages.

16 cases attributed to Sturgis

What?!

Just in your street?!!


Is there a link/source to that leprechaun claim?

Meanwhile, very sadly, the hospitals are full and the morgues overflow.

Aliens that in their holograms look like reptiloid leprechauns invented COVID-19 and spread it via neo-panspermia to make Joe Biden look bad?

Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

Os course and it's also Hillary's fault, nothing else makes sense.

If you speak the truth; THEY WILL COME

At the end of the last reporting period the world's total case tally passed 219.9 million as total deaths exceed 4,555,800. :-(

At the top end of the death list Malaysia blew Egypt out of 36th spot as the U.K. was removed from 7th by Indonesia so let's attack that case list now.

The Diamond Princess was replaced in 203rd place by Grenada, Dominica jumped over Antigua/Barbuda and the Caribbean Netherlands to claim 196th while Brunei took flight over the British Virgin Islands, Bhutan, Sao Tome/Principe, Turks/Caicos and Bermuda before landing in 189th, Barbados replaced Chad in 181st as the Isle of Man cruised past Eritrea into 173rd, Mauritius leapt over Equatorial Guinea and Gambia to become the 168th member of the 10K+ club and Nicaragua dived past the C.A.R. and South Sudan to takeover 163rd.

Burundi displaced Hong Kong from 160th spot, Benin took a long flight over the Congo, Burkina Faso, Lesotho, Aruba, Mali, Andorra, Curaçao and Laos before making a refueling stop in 151st as Timor-Leste dumped Tajikistan out of 147th, Guyana replaced Gabon in 38th while Suriname took 135th from Guinea, Martinique jumped over Cabo Verde and Malta into 130th and Eswatini grabbed 126th from Madagascar.

Guadeloupe moved past both Fiji and Angola to claim 122nd place, Australia leapfrogged the D.R.C. and the Ivory Coast to takeover 118th as Jamaica nudged Singapore out of 115th, El Salvador removed China from 107th while Albania took 96th off of Mozambique, Botswana replaced Uzbekistan in 93rd and North Macedonia passed Kyrgyzstan to take 90th spot.

Mongolia swept Bosnia/Herzegovina out of 85th spot, Libya replaced Ethiopia in 73rd while Palestine took 70th from Denmark, Ireland removed the Dominican Republic from 67th as Myanmar ripped Slovakia out of 63rd, Vietnam took flight again this time over Panama, Paraguay, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Belarus before landing in 53rd and Georgia zipped past Saudi Arabia into 49th place.

Serbia blew Nepal out of 41st place, Thailand kicked Belgium out of 29th as Japan jumped over Canada and Bangladesh to claim 26th, Iran became the 9th member of the 5M+ club while the U.K. removed France from 5th and the U.S. has construction of their 41M+ clubhouse well underway.

Well that's it for today's update.

Oklahoma's ERs are so backed up with people overdosing on ivermectin that gunshot victims are having to wait to be treated... I hardly know where to begin. :^p

Isn't that stuff ONLY meant to be used for multiple tons of cattle and elephants?

Or are some in the USA that BIG on all the 'fast food'?! (Sad bad joke...)
