US Election šŸ§µ. You *will* learn some things and youā€™ll want to share.

As Iā€™ve been informing democracy defenders for the past week or so, thereā€™s but one message of value at this point with voting underway & several weeks to Election Day: MAGA is #losing. Iā€™ll expand on that.ā€¦
1. The Polls: voters are decided and wonā€™t change their minds about who they support. D will stay with D and R with R. Itā€™s the Undecideds that are being courted. But whoā€™s undecided this late? A) People who are gathering info and thinking about itā€”those people are sane: ā€¦
they *think*, which can only mean theyā€™ll go with Ds. So *those _voters_* are essentially decided. B)People who wonā€™t vote (but wonā€™t admit it yet). So be it. ā€¦

Meanwhile in #France,
"the peak of this second wave is over"

(according to the President in his Adress to the Nation):
Wait... "the peak is over" doesnĀ“t mean "itĀ“s back to normal"!

Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if thereĀ“s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today itĀ“s ~9.000).

France is disappointed.šŸ™

Although they certainly can make it happen.
Meanwhile in #Switzerland:
(excess mortality of the second wave is significant)

Good news: fastest decrease in infections happens in the worst hit areas now.

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.
(The interview features the idea of a dedicated #Quarantine building - that would actually help, I guess)...
"People acting as if the pandemic was over was 'not the answer, it is part of the problem' ".

"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."
(and beyond, it is feared).
Due to #Melbourne's outbreak, neighbouring South Australia is about to completely close it's borders to #Victoria.

(Nearly) no exceptions. And those essential few who are allowed in, will have to wear facemasks the entire time...

Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #GĆ¼tersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"

In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
It's just not prominently featured on their websites.

(Overlooked that myself, hence deleted earlier tweet)

People from #GĆ¼tersloh district may have to scrap all their holiday plans anyway...

An official #Lockdown is just being announced for the entire district.
(for one week, as of now)

Ah yes, @RDiManno and @TorontoStar. Quite insightful. #RoadSafety advocates are fighting for *convenience* for vulnerable road users. After all, if planning an unexpected funeral isn't a bit inconvenient, we don't know WHAT is!

Our member Kasia sometimes still thinks of how inconvenient it was to be handed her husband Tom's possessions in a paper bag, and then not only have to struggle against crushing grief herself, but also help her two children grieve their father. thestar.com/news/crime/201ā€¦
Our member David Stark also occasionally remembers the inconvenience of being handed his deeply beloved wife Erica's clothing, stained with blood. Their three boys, now that they think about it, do find it inconvenient that their loving mother is dead. bayview-news.com/2016/12/driverā€¦

@KatherineFaire1 @FewingsBj @notesforreview No pressure at all. šŸ™‚

Gather around children, Uncle Paul has a little story to tell.

No! Wait! Donā€™t block me! Iā€™ll be pretty quick. Promise.
@KatherineFaire1 @FewingsBj @notesforreview Back in the olden days when the internet was just a pup, there was no Twitter, Facebook or Google. Even MySpace (RIP) wasnā€™t invented then.

They were dark days, my friends. ā€œJust Jeevesā€ and ā€œAlta Vistaā€ were crappy search engines plagued by porn pop-ups. #embarrassing
@KatherineFaire1 @FewingsBj @notesforreview Correction. Hashtags werenā€™t even invented then. #darkdaysmyfriends
