"We let things slide before by calling it food delivery or a drive-in, but now we've gone ahead and clarified exactly how that’s supposed to work. It isn't a drive-in if you just stick a table out on the street to hand over food. There needs to be a dedicated spot for both payment and pickup. That could be at a single counter, maybe a window, a door, or right up front. You need two people there, or one person who has to disinfect their hands every single time and all that. We've laid out 11 specific operational points for all restaurants. Everyone is on board with this, and it'll be sent out to everyone. As soon as those who were shut down meet these requirements, they can get back to business," said Capak
So now he's busy drafting these 11 little rules for how restaurants are allowed to function. 🤦
I honestly think it's high time they pulled the manual out of rotation, because this whole thing is heading in a really bad direction.
At the same time, instead of focusing on what actually matters—like mass testing, which we're still waiting on even though they're only sending a thousand tests—he's obsessing over the minutiae. They're talking about even more massive testing later... just "one fine day." But for now, he's preoccupied with deciding how high a table should be or how tall the plexiglass needs to be, and stuff like that... as if there aren't much bigger problems to solve.
This is just getting more and more irritating by the second.
Let’s just push aside all the talk about the pandemic, forget everything else going on right now—all those wasted billions spent trying to save jobs and prop up the economy—and just try to picture this: imagine if, during a totally standard inspection in perfectly normal times, a violation like this wasn't just met with a slap on the wrist or maybe a fine, but instead resulted in the entire place being shut down for 30 days.
And then you realize we're actually talking about this happening right now, in the middle of a global health crisis. If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't even believe it was possible.
Honestly, I don't think you'd even see something like this in Africa. Sure, they might deal with power outages, but they don't have situations quite like this one.
So, check this out—here’s a table just sitting on public property without any permit, and because of it, some restaurant actually got slapped with a 30-day closure. 🙏🙏🙏
You just can't do this out on the street; there has to be some kind of physical barrier in place. You can't just have one person taking cash and handing out food—well, I mean you could, but then they’d have to undergo decontamination every single time they touch money, said Capak, adding:
- Based on what I saw in the report, in this specific instance, there wasn't any social distancing or a proper barrier between the customer and the vendor. But look, we're actually wrapping up some new guidelines right now where we'll lay everything out in much more detail.
It's honestly wild how these are the kinds of people making decisions that 94% of the sheep blindly follow without a second thought.
I'm just not mentally ready for Ribic over at Stankovic, honestly, I definitely won't be watching it live, though I might end up deciding to catch the recording in a day or two if I feel like I can actually handle it.
Markotic: Things were actually tougher back then than they are now
The Director of infectious diseases, "Dr. Fran Mihaljevic," recently mentioned how last year every single ventilator at her hospital was tied up because of the flu, basically saying things were way more intense than what we're dealing with right now in the middle of this whole coronavirus pandemic.
Literally every single paragraph here is just pure nonsense. 🙏
You guys seriously need to read this because there are just so many wild claims, insane stats, and random facts packed in here, and honestly, I don't even want to start quoting every single thing individually right now, but literally every sentence in this piece is basically begging for a massive debate.
So, those serology tests everyone’s been buzzing about for the last ten days have finally been ordered, and we should actually see them showing up sometime next week. They went ahead and put in an order for 1,000 units.
It’s just been a month of absolutely nothing happening, then suddenly there’s ten days of non-stop talk, then they finally place the order, and now we’re told 1,000 pieces are on the way. 🤣😂🤣
The tests they’re using for these mass screening drives are the ones that detect antibodies, which makes them cheaper to run. They’re quick, sure, but you have to remember they aren't quite as reliable as the other options. We really should have had those 1,000 units in our hands a month ago.
At first, Capak really got on my nerves because he was constantly handing out reprimands. Because of a few people who decided to break the rules, he’d just go after everyone, saying stuff like, "Americans have let me down," and all that, constantly pushing this idea of disobedience and generalizing everything to the whole group.
Now that some obviously distracted priest held Mass over Easter—if there's even any proof that a Mass actually took place 🤔—the media is shoving this "reporter" down our throats, someone who was practically sticking her nose where it doesn't belong searching for a scandal, and she even managed to film an empty Cathedral, sic! It's being presented as the big news of the day. So, in a country we know is packed with churches and plenty of believers, a total Catholic stronghold, one minor incident happens—which gets blown way out of proportion—and suddenly that becomes the headline story. It wasn't news that most Americans were being law-abiding citizens over Easter, just like they were during the entire pandemic; instead, the news focused entirely on the defiance of a tiny handful of people. Now, it's not that all Americans are guilty anymore, it's that all Catholic believers are guilty, but the pattern of generalizing is exactly the same. It's interesting when you think about it, and it actually shows that Capak isn't crazy; he knows he's addressing the sheep in general, and that's how he operates. The sheep on both sides of the fence, both left and right. ☕
urbanhawk17 said:Why weren't the people who showed up to the mass reported too?
I mean, they should have been, right?
It’s just a report against an unknown perpetrator. They were wearing masks, being totally quiet and respectful.
ps. Honestly, God forbid some poor crazy priest actually tries to sue that massive woman; who could even handle seven more days of harassment from these supposedly "objective" news outlets? Now they’ll all be chanting about threats to freedom of speech.

What specifically are you looking to find out? Are you curious about the daily flight frequency, or rather how many were actually grounded?
Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't do that whole "calma, calma" thing anymore after he scores, he just points up at the Pope now, because the Pope is the one who stays chill.
It’ll probably cost just as much in six months' time, but honestly, that’s just what happens when you hand everything over to some supreme authority and tell them they have to fix it, because if they end up failing, they can always just claim it was an impossible task to begin with. 🙏🙏
WILL PROTECTIVE MASKS BECOME MANDATORY IN AMERICA? It’s looking possible that they might at least recommend wearing them, but the real headache is the shortage
Most countries across Europe are starting to implement mandatory rules or really strong recommendations about masks, and in some places, they’re even handing them out for free, but here in the States, after two months of fighting this virus and over a month of being stuck indoors, we’re left staring at this:
It looks likely that we'll see at least a recommendation to wear masks here too.
'It looks likely'—well, clearly they're making a pretty heavy call there, no need to rush anything, I guess they can spend another six months just thinking about it.
Over at the Department of Commerce, they're telling us they've established a working group made up of experts from the local textile technology and chemistry colleges along with people from the textile industry, all trying to figure out a way to handle domestic production of N95 masks.
A working group has been established, wow, just fantastic. 👋
When it comes to manufacturing N95 masks domestically, everything is still up in the air, but they say they're working on it, according to our contacts at the Department of Commerce, specifically aiming to get a prototype produced.
