Already dilapidated infrastructure to be further dilapidated. Much, much further, like being a third-world country.

Leftist utopian equality finally achieved.

CBC headline screams "Trudeau cohosts UN summit to develop a Global Pandemic Recovery Plan".

Right, because he's such an expert and competent leader for the world.

Talk about a terrible, terrible choice...

But the hair!
 

Apparently Doug Ford has no problem leaving people to suffer and die in misery in old age homes. As he said a month ago, we (him, his government) will look into it. Yet they've done nothing. Now I hear tell there's a report out by the military, those soldiers who had to do security at old-age homes have a story to tell.

Now Doug is so upset, oh my.

Ottawa to meat producers: "We will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today".

Canada needs to beg China for economic mercy.

When the funds get depleted and there's no buying power,

the empty dollar will fall to a level never before seen.

Negative interest, negative value.

Then the commies will want to run us.

Imagine being a small child, not allowed to go out or see anyone for months.

Wondering if Mr. Trudeau is still willing to say he admires China's basic dictatorship, when asked "which nations in the world do you most admire?"

I think the face-mask will be this year's hot new look.

Lookin good baby...  

The entitled want everything to stay shut down because they are so afraid to lose their blessed lives. It speaks to me, what ignorant and selfish bastards we all are. Cheers!

George W. Bush has a soul.
This is what leadership can do in a time of crisis. "Wise words of W:'"

Quote

"This is a challenging and solemn time in the life of our nation and world -- a remorseless, invisible enemy threatens the elderly and vulnerable among us. A disease that can quickly take breath and life. Medical professionals are risking their own health for the health of others, and we're deeply grateful."

"Officials at every level are setting out the requirements of public health that protect us all, and we all need to do our part," he continued. "The disease also threatens broader damage, harm to our sense of safety, security and community. The larger challenge we share is to confront an outbreak of fear and loneliness. And it is frustrating that many of the normal tools of compassion -- a hug, a touch -- can bring the opposite of the good we intend. In this case, we serve our neighbor by separating from them."

"We cannot allow physical separation to become emotional isolation. This requires us to be not only compassionate but creative in our outreach -- and people across the nation are using the tools of technology and the cause of solidarity. In this time of testing, we need to remember a few things. First, let us remember that we have faced times of testing before. Following 9/11, we saw a great nation rise as one to honor the brave, to grieve with the grieving and to embrace unavoidable new duties. And I have no doubt -- none at all -- that this spirit of sacrifice is alive and well in America. Second, let us remember that empathy and simple kindness are essential, powerful tools of national recovery. Even at an appropriate social distance, we can find ways to be present in the lives of others -- to ease their anxiety and share their burdens."

"Third, let's remember that the suffering we experience as a nation does not fall evenly," Bush added. "In the days to come, it will be especially important to care for the elderly, the ill, and the unemployed. Let us remember how small our differences are in the face of this shared threat. In the final analysis, we are not partisan combatants -- we are human beings, equally vulnerable and equally wonderful in the sight of God. We rise or fall together and we are determined to rise. God bless you all."

  Never in my wildest dreams could i imagine I would be inspired by the words of W. Back in the day, I pretty much despised him and thought he was just another coked-out president who is a moron. But hey, we're all human. That's why pencils have erasers.

People are going through stress and depression while forced to remain home. It leads to mental health problems. There are long-term consequences as well, for the elderly can lead to rapid physiological changes.

My mom is depressed, and I am trying to cheer her up. There's only so much you can do in these circumstances.

How much more so for many elderly who are now being quarantined. In nursing homes there are no visitors allowed, even if a person is nearing death and family would like to visit, during the last few weeks of the life of a loved one.

This is being done to save their lives apparently, but there are other issues to be considered.

Andrew Scheer now a liability to the CPC party. He has no effective leadership skills. No leader would stand by and do nothing, even if they were on the way "out".

Delayed cardiac surgeries due to coronavirus may have caused 35 deaths in Ontario: minister

and that's not all. Those are just the ones who have been counted.

Remember I told you this was going on, I heard about the cancer patients not getting their surgery.

Let's pray that the idiots who run things get us back going again, at least to the level where people are not dying because of the shutdown.

That is where I have come from all along.

Increased use of computers opens the door to increased cyber-spying. The rush to shut down without a plan is causing harm in unanticipated ways. Unanticipated, yes, if you live your life led around by the nose.

Companies hastily moved their work online without time to investigate proper software, resources, and mainly their IT security. It is now a rich field for cyber-spying. All of our business plans, financial plans, engineering designs are being discussed using apps highly vulnerable to hackers, especially foreign agents working for governments, who can pretty much listen in on anything, unless highly encrypted. There is not much discussion or warning to the public about this.

Today, it is mentioned in the context of our federal government holding a meeting online.

Status Update: Still alive. Gotta go to work again on Monday. I understand maybe in a few weeks you people will be allowed to go out again also.

Welcome back.

Clearly, our world leaders today and the well-controlled media are a despicable bunch of doggy doo.

Reports on Toronto radio news this morning, doctors stating they know anecdotally, that people have died due to delays in their treatment caused by COVID-19.

Artificial intelligence has been used by governments for many years now to study what would happen in the event of a global pandemic. AI predictive models would be used to forecast everything from public behaviour to economic response, projected deaths, projected costs. All this information has been analyzed by government researchers.

For the WHO guy to say "We are in uncharted territory" was patently false.

AI would also consider use of pandemic as a means to disrupt and eventually overthrow a society. Would the Chinese have their own AI models? Of course they have. AI is the new warfare.

AI for Global Disease Surveillance
(Magazine, 2009)
Abstract
In this time of increasing concern over the deadly and costly threats of infectious diseases, preparation for, early detection of, and timely response to emerging infectious diseases and epidemic outbreaks are key public-health priorities and are driving an emerging field of multidisciplinary research. The four essays in this installment of Trends & Controversies discuss uses of AI in global disease surveillance.
