- USA Today reports that even as Los Angeles Governor Gavin Newsom announced last week that mass vaccinations would be organized at L.A.’s Dodger Stadium, a “substantial number of health care workers – who are first in line for the vaccine – are rejecting the shots.”
- Approximately 50 percent of the hospital workers in Riverside County, adjacent to Los Angeles, have turned down getting the injections despite the more than 200,000 reports of COVID infections. Orange County Public Health Director Kim Saruwatari pointed out, “Some of them are saying, ‘You know, not yet,’ that they just want to see how things go.”
- The Los Angeles City Council approved a motion last Wednesday to increase enforcement of mask-wearing in public. It calls on city departments to step up the issuing of citations. Councilman Paul Koretz said, “It’s my understanding that LAPD and Building and Safety and Street Services have been very modestly enforcing the mask mandate included in the mayor’s March 19 safer-at-home executive order. Given our current situation, we need to tackle this issue with renewed vigilance.”
Will Goofy Get Vaccinated?
- On 29 September, the Walt Disney Company announced it lost $4.2 billion in the second quarter and was laying off 28,000 people due to lack of attendance caused by the coronavirus. The original Disneyland in Orange County, CA, shut down as soon as the virus appeared last March.
Now the famous theme park will finally re-open its gates – not for amusement rides, but to become the county’s first super vaccination site. According to Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do, “The Disneyland Resort, the largest employer in the heart of Orange County, has stepped up to host the county’s first Super POD site – undertaking a monumental task in our vaccination distribution process.”
Smart Mask?
- For those looking to adhere to mandatory mask-wearing and be tech-fashionable at the same time, there’s a new self-sanitizing mask being designed for you by Razer Inc, a Singaporean-American multinational technology company headquartered in Queensland, Singapore, and Irving, CA. As promoted on the Razer Inc. website:
“The World’s Smartest Mask… Face the new normal with protection that’s far from average. Introducing our prototype of the most intelligent mask ever created – a design focusing on five key areas to ensure the highest degree of safety with the best quality of life enhancements. The ‘smart mask’ features medical-grade filtration systems with removable ventilators and filters and has a clear, transparent face area so you can enjoy more seamless social interaction with others as they’ll be able to see you, speak and pick up on your facial cues easily.”
Lights installed inside the mask light up your face in dark environments and “thanks to a built-in mic and amplifier combo, our patent-pending technology ensures your speech isn’t muffled even when you’re masked up.”
And since any self-respecting mask-wearer wants to be fashionable, the smart mask will offer “16.8 million colors and a suite of iconic effects… turn heads while you stay safe with two customizable lighting zones.” Currently in development, no price tag has been stated.
- Last week saw this headline story in USA Today: “At least two gorillas test positive for COVID-19 at San Diego Zoo.” According to the article, “The park’s executive director, Lisa Peterson, told the Associated Press on Monday that eight gorillas that live together at the park are believed to have the virus and several have been coughing.”
It is thought the infection came from a person on the wildlife care team who tested positive. The gorillas are being fed vitamins and given extra fluids. The park’s executive director said, “Aside from some congestion and coughing, the gorillas are doing well.”
TRENDPOST: The article didn’t mention whether zoo animals will now be required to wear masks or get vaccinated.
Regardless, the media keeps selling fear and hysteria. Remember back in August when there was a dog in North Carolina that died after testing positive for the virus? It was a headline story… one dead dog… oh, how they love to spread fear and hysteria.
This was the headline:
First dog to test positive for COVID-19 in North Carolina dies
And, remember, this is one of the top TV news broadcasts in the United States. Listen here to the seriousness and fear spread by the Presstitutes.
