That’s called being too lazy to Google the conversion when I had already Googled the distance. LOL
It’s almost 3000 miles.
And I would love to come! But the border’s closed right now, so…

We’re in a fresh new lockdown. No more visiting another household. You can still go to a pub with another hundred households though. Presumably because you spend money there.
The government didn’t even tell the local council there was a new lockdown.

The lockdown was announced late at night, via Twitter. Have they been taking a leaf out of trumps playbook?

A young Aussie dismantling Trump’s pandemic lies right in front of him. This would be hilarious if this wasn’t my president.
Full interview of the narcissist-in-chief:
Sorry for getting too political but I don’t like when politicians piss down my back and tell me it’s raining.

Can’t see how it’s ‘too’ political at all. Blatantly ideological decisions in the face of a disease results in a massive death toll.

I watched the whole interview earlier on HBO, while Trump was what I expected, the key takeaway here is that Jonathan Swan is god damn amazing! I mean, you watch that interview for Swan, not cheeto.
Jonathon Swan did a fantastic job. He was knowledgeable, well-prepared, and quick to call Trump out on his bullshit. I didn’t know much about him before the interview but I will certainly be following his work in the future.
Another healthy dose of Aussie humour.

Too well spoken. She has correct grammatical construction in all of the sentences, and not a single one uses the words “bigly” or really any solid ‘ly’ ending words.
Obviously a Democrat plant. Fake News.

Ladies and gentlemen, the British government have fucked it all up, yet again, so we’re going back into lockdown shortly.
I wish you all the best, and a literal actual plague upon your enemies.

Well it is part goverment but mostly lack of common sense in the greater populace that we ended up here again.
Germany is soft-lockdowning on Monday, but since we have now more than double the number of daily new infections and total concurrent infections than in the height of it in spring I don’t see them holding of the full lockdown for long.
Hoarding of the white gold (i.e. toilet paper) has begun again as soon as two weeks ago.
But, yeah… going into full vacation mode in Croatia and Spain in Mid-summer in spite of all the doom-sayers just because you could do it was such a great idea…and now everyone else has to pay for it.
Holding of travelling for leisure just for one year? Naaah…Lockdown was so coool I simply have to get the virus spreading again. I cannot live without it anymore.
What a bunch of idiots…

British Columbia is having a surge of infections, but compared to a lot of other places it’s still relatively tame (less than 300 / day, but still higher than the 50-150 that we had during our lockdowns).
Too many people going to group gatherings without any thought of the consequences and they’re starting to implement some lockdown protocols, though this is mainly “no more than 6 plus your immediate family in your home, and even then you should distance yourself” requirements.
So far, we’ve been pretty good with things like restaurants and the like. And while there have been school exposures, there haven’t really been any outbreaks in schools (a couple of private schools have closed again, I think).
I’m still working from home and pretty much avoiding anybody so I’m ok. But I’m going a bit stir crazy.

Here in New Hampshire, numbers are ticking up, but not too badly. I’m surprised, as I’m surrounded by people who refuse to wear masks or distance. They really believe the pandemic is a bunch of BS and the suffering of business owners is way more important than people dying.
