Sweden: 37 dead 1,241 infected.

Still high numbers (thanks for updating the info). How is the population feeling about this at the moment?

Quebec (July 1st)

- 7 new deaths (+17 deaths from June 23rd) = 24 total
- 66 new cases
- 13 less hospitalizations
- 5 less in ICU

Hopefully we'll keep low numbers, it's scary to see what's happening south of the border.

Anyone got tested lately? Does it still takes quite a while to get results? (Except if you're a pro sports player)

Saw on Reddit:

This is like buying all the worlds buckets, hoses, firetrucks, extinguishers if the whole world is on fire.

The company that sold it is no better. Haven't they heard of the 3 per customer limit?

To be fair, at this rate, they’ll be the only country that needs it.

Got tested 3 weeks ago and had the results e-mailed to me within 24 hours...

Flu virus with 'pandemic potential' found in China

Another one ?

Sounds like China trying to make up for their poor performance during Covid-19.

Maybe the CPC just wants to annualize their diseases like they're Call of Duty installments.

Probably much ado about nothing, wouldn't be surprised if these things happen every so often.....

The number of daily infections is not that important imo, it’s whether or not there is a peak in hospitalizations causing them to be overrun.

The more ppl infected, the better imo.

But basically, it is now widely known online that Karen is 45, has a short haircut and wants to speak to your manager. Probably anti-vax too. Wouldn't say it's a racial slur, more a general stereotype. Not really about skin color (though it is true that it is often associated with a white woman, but it doesn't have to), more about personality.

The only real-named Karen I met in my life was a super sweet and nice coworker that everyone loved. Huh.

I got tested in May and received my results about 48 hours later. My mom, who works in a Covid unit as a healthcare professional, received her test results 24 hours later.

What does a prophet get paid?

Not much imo. I have been prophetic for years!

 

[Paddyjack]

Oh, I thought that the President was convinced the solution was HQ...?

Anyway, Remdesivir will not make that much of a difference, Dexamethasone does better. Cheaper, easier to get.

You're right for the hospitalization…..but it's a given that more people gets it, more people will get to the hospitals.

The more people infected, the more people they will infect and so on and eventually, like many states in the US, they have close things down again which in return, hurt the economy and a lot of business owners and their employees.

And then, it was allright in Arizona 2 weeks ago, now they are getting ready to make the tough decision.
Who gets help first…..

 

[Milhouse40]

And according to Worldometer, the US added 51,097 new cases making it the worst day of the Pandemic so far in the US.
Remember that only 2 weeks ago, they were adding between 18,000 to 23,000 a day only.

Wondering where they will be 2 weeks from now….

Wow

That's really sad.

Florida is around 17% ICU capacity available
They were around 23% last week

Crazy... this is the kind of thing right wingers claim will happen under a universal healthcare system.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

I went out to pick up a faster cable modem that I ordered a week ago and next door is a grocery store so I thought I would get some groceries as well. I forgot my mask and from today masks are mandatory although I would not have gone into a grocery store without mask anyway. I will put an extra mask in my car if this happen again.

And then we have the tyranny idiots again!

In the last 7 days, the US added 313,699 new cases.
Don't forget, this thing grows exponentially…..

Yeah but statues and stuff.

What an epic failure in the USA. People will point at government but its across the board. People need to be smarter.

Interestingly enough, the ten plagues seem to be related to Crete (Thera) blowing up around 1350 BC

The stories from the old testament were likely told prior to the date you mentioned, but possibly only collected into a Bible at around that very time.

Bibles stories are parables with religious morality attached, and not without a healthy dose of exaggeration.

How the hell do they pat themselves on the back? It's beyond belief sometimes.

There are other hotspots with people dying. It's unconscionable. By both the buyers and sellers.

All they wrote about was different ways to get wine. Bunch of drunk dudes making up shit. "I tell you I saw a man walk on water" Write that down, that's a good start.
