A Rhode Island teacher is under investigation after tweeting out a message offering payment to COVID-19 patients to deliberately cough on President Trump and infect him with the deadly virus …

The female teacher identified herself in a later tweet as a sixth-grade teacher at Villa Nova Middle School which is located in Woonsocket , Rhode Island …

“ Somebody with Covid-19 , I will pay you to cough on Trump ” read the original tweet.

And a great one found at MichellesMirror ( MOTUS ) …

Knut Wittkowski , a veteran scholar of epidemiology , has warned that the ongoing lockdowns throughout the United States and the rest of the world are almost certainly just prolonging the coronavirus outbreak rather than doing anything to truly mitigate it …

“ What people are trying to do is flatten the curve. I don’t really know why … If you flatten the curve … It takes more time ” …

“ With all respiratory diseases , the only thing that stops the disease is herd immunity. About 80% of the people need to have had contact with the virus , and the majority of them won’t even have recognized that they were infected , or they had very , very mild symptoms , especially if they are children …

So , it’s very important to keep the schools open and kids mingling to spread the virus to get herd immunity as fast as possible , and then the elderly people , who should be separated , and the nursing homes should be closed during that time, can come back and meet their children and grandchildren after about 4 weeks when the virus has been exterminated ”…

First of all … I realize this is an old header ! … I musta missed this one when I updated all the others !!! … I’ll deal with it later !!! …

In the middle of doin’ a MAJOR purge of DLAC … That would be … Decades Long Accumulated … CRAP !!! … Gotta move ! … Just as well … There hasn’t bin anything worth a shit to watch on the TV these past several years … Half the country’s shut down due this Batshit Crazy Slope Virus … And it was long overdue to deal with this …

In the meantime tho , we all gotta eat … And everytime I go to Fortinos or Walmart ( the two closest places since I ain’t got a car these past years … It’s always an adventure ! …

So I found an interesting take on this … Thought I’d share it with ya …

The thing about a good, sturdy supply chain is that nobody pays much attention when it’s working. “The supply chain is boring, until things go off the rails,” as one food economist put it this week.

And things have been off the rails for a while now. The empty grocery store shelf has become a symbol of all the fear and frustration caused by a society tipped upside down by a global pandemic, with people baking rather than celebrating the start of barbecue season, hoarding toilet paper and buying even dusty canned food off shelves.

But for the people who pay close attention to the national food supply chain, empty shelves aren’t that big or scary a problem. The more complicated problems are expected in the near future, as the system encounters bottlenecks in production caused by

Those issues sound like coronavirus-specific problems, but some of the underlying weaknesses were there beforehand and they can be fixed in time for the next crisis. But they really don’t have much to do with the recent rash of empty shelves at your local grocer.

Empty shelves, while frustrating for consumers, are easy to figure out.

As the panic buying calms down, new challenges are emerging. Farmers are grappling with whether it’s worth investing millions in seed, fertilizer and fuel when they’re not sure they’ll be able to afford the labour needed to harvest their crops, according to the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

The Canadian agriculture industry is heavily dependent on migrant workers from Mexico and the Caribbean …

To make sure similar issues with migrant workers don’t happen again, the federation wants the federal government to have an emergency plan in place that helps farmers cover the cost of bringing in such labour during extraordinary circumstances. Hiring more Canadians is a no go, since most don’t want to do what is often back-breaking work …

THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM !!! … Gen XYZ … And whatever the next one is … DON’T WANT TO WORK !!! …
