Three newest COVID-19 cases stem from 'irresponsible' traveller who failed to self-isolate: N.B. premier atlantic.ctvnews.ca/…
> "These cases are linked to someone who travelled back to New Brunswick and did not self isolate. The case involved a health-care worker who saw patients and also worked at the Campbellton Regional Hospital," said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer of health said Wednesday afternoon during a news conference in Fredericton.
@Memor-X I'm doing some math on infection rates. the USA death rate right now is roughly the same as the one globally, namely one in 16 infected people die. However, the USA has roughly 7.5X the number of infections per 1M people that the world has. The only countries that have a higher infection rate are all essentially tiny city states with less than a million people, excluding Bahrain and Singapore
I'm less interested in digging into the exact details of what exactly the order does or doesn't do. What I can't comprehend is the "normal-ish" headlines like the above, as opposed to describing what's really going on. Maybe something like:
Toddler President has a tantrum when someone calls his bullshit false, lashes out with all the powers of his office
Like, the instability and pettiness and revenge-prone nature of the man at the head of the US government is a much bigger story than the details of (checks notes) section 230 of the communications decency act.
It's like... seeing headlines about "What's the best wood for baseball bats: maple or ash?" in response to Trump grabbing a bat and smashing someone's head in
In more positive news (possibly not entirely unrelated):
> If you are talking about the incident in MN, I didn’t see anything unreasonable. If you can say you can’t breathe, you’re breathing. Most likely that man died of overdose or heart attack. Video doesn’t show his resistance that got him in that position. Police being crucified.
Not sure how this was "misinterpreted", exactly. His "clarification" is just more of the same defense of the police
> What Marx meant, he said, was no one knows for sure how Floyd died or what the circumstances were before he was pinned to the ground by a Minneapolis police officer.
Technically speaking, it is correct to say that your airway is not completely blocked if you are able to speak
However, this technicality only really applies for "is a patient's airway completely blocked such that the heimlich will even work", and not "did this person die of asphyxiation"
> "I've seen too many cases before where the police were judged to be guilty in the public's eye but later were found to be not guilty under the law," he said. "For sending that, all of a sudden I'm called racist, I need to have a knee put on my neck — all kinds of hateful stuff simply for having an opinion and asking people to get all the facts before they judge."
Oh wait putting a knee to your neck is hateful now? Hmmmm
But yeah buddy that they're "not guilty under the law" is the whole issue, the law lets them kill people
