      I'm not surprised at the freakout level now that 3rd party status is looking inevitable.

      Regardless who wins, there's not going to be a lot of seats separating the 3 parties.

      I guess BC needs the likes of Trump to get him excited.

  2. There's no way to prove Trump was responsible for the rise of the Stock Market last year. It's objectively provable he's at fault for it plunging this week.

      I don't know if they are or not. But I wonder what will happen to kids that choose not to wear pink? Will they be labelled as homophobes? Or bully's that's. This "day" is just another way of making kids conform.

How does a pink shirt help a kid that being bullied because they're socially awkward or overweight? This "day" is just another way of making kids conform.

      In fact 538 got a lot of flak from some other ("more liberal") poll aggregators that were giving Clinton a >99% win chance, saying that the 538 models with "fat tails" were unrealistic. 538 had it closer to the mark than most.

      Which is why I said she was "played". The MSM narrative here is that it's an embarrassment for her. The Trump team go elected without disclosing any tax returns. I doubt they'll need to start doing that now.

      Actually, the RCMP chose to move the AR-15 to restricted status. Elected politicians tried to reserve it. I know that doesn't fit the talking points.

      “People are enjoying the summer.”

      As long as they maintain social distance and avoid interaction. 

      No gym, hockey rink or swimming pool, which is something many elderly need for their health. People with diseases like fibromyalgia. People who are handicapped. Even children who are mentally disabled and need to interact.

      But good mews is Dr. Tam days we will soon be allowed to give another person a hug.

      Only outdoor facilities are open, of which there are few available and those that are open have limited capacity.

      Public Health Ontario says all deaths following vaccination that are reported to public health units are thoroughly investigated, and it has so far determined in one case that vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia was a cause of death in someone who received the AstraZeneca vaccine.

      There are seven other reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination that meet the provincial surveillance definition. In four, the adverse events were found to have possibly contributed to the death but were not the underlying cause, and in the remaining three the vaccine was not a cause of death.

      Public Health Ontario says another 30 deaths following COVID-19 vaccination that have been reported to public health units are "persons under investigation." They don't meet the provincial surveillance definition, but investigations are underway.

      "Preliminary information suggests that these events occurred in individuals with multiple co-morbidities which may be related to the cause of death," a recent Public Health Ontario report said. "There has been no association with the vaccine identified at this time."

      Russia is experiencing a Covid second wave equal to their first one in November-December of 2020. Second waves happen.

      Your New Delhi Television article does not produce any data showing why we need to believe the Delta Variant is responsible for any new deaths or hospitalizations. It just offers up one of those scary hints those kinds of publications like to scare the easily frightened with.

      Sorry I can't run with you to tell the king the sky is falling just yet.

    3. OftenWrong

      I already mentioned that the normal evolution of variant is more infectious, less deadly. Conversely some become less infectious, more deadly. Its unusual to have one that is both more infectious and more deadly.

      The delta variant has shown itself to be more infectious but less deadly. Yawn.

      More interesting is how quick certain media mouthpieces who acted like experts screamed it was more infectious, more deadly. And that was right away at the onset when this variant was discovered. I thought, how can they say that. No data yet to even back that up. It’s unconscionable.

      You people who think you know things. You prove that good, auld adage “a little knowledge is dangerous”.

      Who said the sky is falling. I'm not particularly worried about Delta, because vaccination. 

      However there are plenty in the US that refuse to get vaccinated. You want to assume that these variants are harmless and not the fact that vaccination actually works?
