Imagine 82 deaths being a down day, well... we're here. 7-day avg up to 73. We're 9 deaths short of last week's record total. Cases are a *measly* 2,500, but we're on pace to slightly exceed last week's total cases, same with new hospitalizations. Plateauing isn't improving.

And you trust a tabloid like the Daily Mail to tell the truth? LOL.

Most antiviral vaccines cause mild, transient side effects like fever, mild pain and swelling at the injection site, as well as mild muscle pain. Nothing new here.

If the Russian vaccine is so dangerous, why would Putin let his daughter be among the first to be vaccinated?

How can you be sure that your daughter has really been vaccinated?
Do you trust the Russians? LOL

Pretty damn sure his daughter was not inoculated. If she was she must not be a well liked daughter. Lol

Source working on the government’s Track and Trace operation tells Evolve:

“I’ve been working since May... I still haven’t made a single call.”

They’ve also been handed “loads of overtime” to do “literally nothing”.

“This project has been criminal... It stinks of corruption”



(@evolvepolitics)

The government employed 18,000 contract tracers.

On average, they earned around £360 a week each.

The entire operation handled, at max, around 50 calls a day.

That’s £84,200,000 in wages and roughly £20,000 per phone call.

He's a useless piece of trash.
He not going to protect people from the virus and he's not going to help people to keep their homes when property tax due day comes.

Texas is a huge home grab this year so they can addiction homes that have been paid off for decades to cover the money they have been misappropriating all along.

Europe update

Quite obviously the spread in Europe continues to gather momentum. My previous post was about France seeing a new recent high in daily infections, but, actually, Sweden is in trouble too, they have higher new cases per capita than France does.

In addition to those two countries, UK, Ireland, Spain, Poland, Czech Rep are all seeing increasingly darker shaded regional areas on the infection map as the month has progressed, here:
