Damn I knew this was coming but shit :smh:


We all saw this coming but people rather get back to normalcy....

Damn, so we getting hit with some more shit? Who would have guessed that? :hmm: Scientists told these fools to keep with the mitigation measures. Oh well, media better bump up the Ukraine coverage and maybe flood the news cycle with more Jan 6 horseshit they been milking to death. :smh:.

These days, even dogs come with coronavirus shots but the elites forcing everyone to get back to normal at the same fucking time.

It feels like some of the experts gave up on this pandemic...Everything is the total opposite what they said from the beginning. Don't get me wrong you still have some that's still fighting but overall it feels like some of them said fuck it.






That's the government for you... :hmm:

And since it's an election year, nothing will be done. People will view it as "fear mongering", often time being da most fearful ones and leadership in this country within either side of y'all niggas political gangs of choice (that includes yours too @easy_b) won't do shit either cause it ain't politically beneficial for them to do so. If folks ain't get it through their heads yet that we're on our own, they better do it fast. And when da inevitable happens, those same muthafuckas in leadership will shrug their shoulders while saying "we don't know how we got here."

Some residents under lockdown in Shanghai say they are running out of food, amid the city's biggest-ever Covid outbreak.
Residents are confined to their homes, banned from leaving for even essential reasons such as grocery shopping.
Nearly 20,000 cases were reported on Thursday in China's biggest city - another near-record high.
Officials have admitted the city is facing "difficulties" but say they are trying to improve this.
But public anger is also being stoked by other drastic measures - such as the removal of children from their parents if they test positive.
Shanghai officials later responded by allowing parents who were also infected to accompany their children to isolation centres.

The city began another round of mandatory mass testing on Wednesday to identify and isolate every case.
Shanghai residents who test positive can't isolate in their homes even if their conditions are mild or asymptomatic.
They have to go to mandatory quarantine facilities, which critics say have become crowded and have sub-par conditions.
Why is there a food shortage?
When Omicron first emerged in Shanghai a month ago, the city quarantined only certain compounds. Then as the virus spread officials last week implemented a staggered lockdown where the city was split into two and each half had separate measures.
On Monday the lockdown was extended indefinitely to cover the entire city of 25 million people.

Strict rules mean most people have to order in food and water and wait for government drop-offs of vegetables, meat and eggs.
But the lockdown extension has overwhelmed delivery services, grocery shop websites and even the distribution of government supplies.
Many delivery personnel are also in locked-down areas, leading to an overall decrease in delivery capacity.
Locals in some areas of the city say they've been completely cut off.
"Please solve the problem of insufficient delivery capacity as soon as possible," one user wrote on social media site Weibo in response to city officials' video message.
Another person wrote that it was the "first time in my life that I have gone hungry".



Residents have also raised other concerns about price gouging, and how elderly or less tech-savvy residents are surviving.
City officials acknowledged the food struggles on Wednesday, saying Shanghai had enough supplies of rice, noodles, grain, oil and meat but there were delays in distributing them.
"It is true there are some difficulties in ensuring the supply of daily necessities," said Liu Min, the deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce.
On Thursday, Shanghai's vice mayor added the city would try to re-open some wholesale markets and food stores, and allow more delivery personnel out of locked-down areas.
"We have been holding meetings overnight to try and figure out solutions," said Chen Tong.

China is one of the last remaining nations still committed to eradicating Covid, in contrast to most of the world which is trying to live with the virus in its Omicron variation.
The country has successfully enacted full lockdowns before - endured by millions of people in cities including Xi'an and Wuhan - but Shanghai is its biggest city and the case spread this time is much higher than previous outbreaks.
As one of the economic powerhouses of China, Shanghai's shutdown is also fuelling concerns about the impact to China and the world's economy.

Washington elite faced with a growing resurgence of COVID-19 infections

House Speaker Pelosi became the latest Washington dignitary to test positive.

ByArielle Mitropoulos
April 7, 2022, 8:52 PM ET


With masks no longer required and mitigation measures seen by some as a thing of the past, a coronavirus resurgence is spreading among the tight circles of the Washington elite.

On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi became the latest high-profile Washington dignitary to test positive for COVID-19.

Pelosi, 82, is currently asymptomatic, according to a spokesperson for her office.

“The Speaker is fully vaccinated and boosted, and is thankful for the robust protection the vaccine has provided,” the spokesperson said Thursday. She said Pelosi received her second booster shot last month.

Pelosi’s positive test comes amid a flurry of other positive cases among individuals who attended the elite Gridiron Club Dinner in Washington on Saturday.

As of midday Thursday, at least 32 guests at Saturday’s dinner have tested positive for COVID-19, Tom DeFrank, the president of the Gridiron Club, told ABC News.

Attorney General Merrick Garland, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Reps. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, and Jamal Simmons, the communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris, were among the guests at the dinner who announced this week that they have tested positive.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, one of two Republican lawmakers to attend the dinner, also announced late Thursday she tested positive.

“Senator Collins has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently experiencing mild symptoms. The Senator will isolate and work remotely in accordance with CDC guidelines," a statement from her office said.

Although some attendees were wearing face coverings, most guests were not wearing masks, DeFrank said.

In recent weeks, a growing number of positive COVID-19 infections have also affected members of President Joe Biden's inner circle, with the White House acknowledging many close calls following meetings or events with individuals who subsequently tested positive.

Pelosi attended an event at the White House on Tuesday where she interacted with former President Barack Obama, who tested positive last month, as well as Biden. She also attended an event at the White House Wednesday where she again interacted with Biden. She was maskless at both events, as were other attendees.

Asked about Biden's contact with Pelosi, White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday said Biden tested negative on Wednesday night and insisted Biden wasn't a CDC "close contact" because they weren't within 6 feet for 15 minutes.

Among those close to Biden who have tested positive is his sister, Valerie Biden Owens, who also attended the dinner Saturday. She is experiencing mild symptoms, her publisher said in a statement on Thursday.

Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., who attended the Tuesday event with Biden and Harris, announced she tested positive Thursday and was experiencing mild symptoms.

Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., also announced he had tested positive Thursday night.

Psaki, who recently tested positive for a second time, told reporters on Wednesday that the White House continues to take “stringent” and “strict” protocols to protect the president from potential infection.

“We take additional measures that go beyond what the CDC protocols and requirements are to ensure that we are doing everything we can to keep the principals safe, the president, the vice president and others in the building,” Psaki said.

When asked by ABC News whether the White House plans to test the president daily in the coming weeks, given the uptick in COVID-19 cases seen across Washington, Psaki said that such measures have "not deemed to be necessary at this point."

The vice president also had brushes with the virus in recent weeks. In addition to Simmons testing positive this week, her husband Doug Emhoff contracted the virus in mid-March.

Harris will follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommends that individuals who are up to date on their vaccinations get tested at least five days after interacting with someone with COVID-19, according to her office. As no quarantine is needed, she will continue with her public schedule.

Separately, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser joined the growing list of those infected with COVID-19, tweeting on Thursday morning that she had tested positive for the virus.

The mayor said she is experiencing “allergy-like symptoms.”

The District of Columbia in February officially ended its district-wide mask mandate. The White House and the U.S. Capitol quickly followed suit to make face coverings optional.

The district is currently at a “low” community level for COVID-19, per CDC standards.

Even,though this story is about Shanghai;I find it interesting that nobody talks about the price gouging in the United States. The war and this pandemic have raised the prices up on everything by a lot yet nobody haven't said a word about it.

Don't get me wrong,I understand why but just throwing it out there..

Personally, I don't believe any of them folks will disclose how bad it is for 'em since they advocated for folks returning to normal and would like all to believe that da vaccine is all that is needed (sans any other mitigation measures) to prevent da virus on top of being in a rush to get folks back to work, to feed da machine as @gene cisco says. They need da American populace to believe all is fine & dandy.

Johns Hopkins, Georgetown universities reinstate COVID-19 measures, mask mandates

Two universities in the D.C. region said on Wednesday that they will be bringing back a temporary mask mandate following an increase in coronavirus cases among students.

Georgetown University in D.C. and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore will add additional COVID-19 mitigation measures to help combat the case increase as well.

Georgetown University
The indoor mask requirement will go into effect Thursday on the Main and Medical Center campuses, with exceptions for eating and drinking or when students or staff are in their “personal residence or private office.”

Ranit Mishori, Georgetown’s Chief Public Health Officer, said the measures are in response to a “significant” increase in COVID-19 cases, mainly among undergraduate students. The masking requirement will remain in place for the foreseeable future.

“Thankfully, with the vast majority of our community up to date on vaccination, we are not seeing cases involving severe illness,” Mishori said.

Georgetown will also require all undergraduate students to take a PCR test before returning to campus from Easter break on April 18. Students who have tested positive within the past 90 days are exempt from the testing requirement.

Tests can be scheduled through the One Medical app or its website. Those who get tested with a third-party provider must report their results to the COVID-19 Test Result Submission form.

COVID-positive and negative students might be housed together in the same room or apartment because of limited available space. Georgetown said it will have “secured additional isolation space at a nearby hotel,” because the campus hotel is almost full.

Johns Hopkins University
Masks at Johns Hopkins University will now be required in residence and dining halls, with an exception for eating and drinking. This is in addition to masking requirements in all classrooms.

Johns Hopkins will also test all undergraduate students twice-weekly through April 22. The policy will then be reevaluated to determine whether the increased testing remains necessary.

Vice Provost for Student Health and Well-Being Kevin Shollenberger said Hopkins is reacting to a steep increase in COVID-19 cases since Spring Break, “we have received reports of COVID cases among undergraduates who have recently traveled or who were exposed to someone who has recently traveled.”

Almost 100 undergraduate students have tested positive for the virus since April 1, according to the university. Most students who tested positive are asymptomatic, while the rest are experiencing mild symptoms.

Students living on-campus who are asked to isolate will need to remain in their rooms or will be moved to off-campus housing. Meals will be delivered to their door.

A member of the university’s COVID Support Team will reach out to students who test positive to answer any questions or concerns.

Self-testing kits will be available to all students at the Wolman Housing Office or AMR II Residential Life Office. They can be picked up between 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Masks will be available to all students at asymptomatic testing sites as well.

You can read Johns Hopkins’ isolation guidelines online on the university’s website

Not A BGOL Eunuch

I could be wrong about the exact person, but I told @cocobeauty or some other female member on this board in march/April 2020 about opening windows in an apartment. Was in relation to a study I seen in China where an entire apartment building got infected from one person(plumbing and ventilation). Never forget when the guy got it just taking his neighbor to the ER and someone else from talking in a doorway to their neighbor.

Naturally, scientists need further studies to be sure the sun is going to rise again and I get the rigorous process. But for the rest of us, we can operate on the walk like a duck, quack like a duck shit.

It's also why I was saying to hit the stores early when they first open. Those early studies had the shit lingering. But hey, doing our own research had a different meaning in spring 2020. Now it's on us to unquestionably follow the SELECTED experts. Because the MSM/Politicians sure as shit ain't promoting the 'don't ease the mitigation efforts' experts these days(and haven't since they took off masks spring 21). :smh:

Ya'll make sure to keep friends and family up on the real side.
