This pandemic reminds me a little of the great Wildebeest migration. The herd follows it's leaders right into the waiting jaws of the Crocodiles.

or they can deny the lack of food where they are and stand around aimlessly searching for food that they ate months ago and starve to death. I guess the dumb animals figured out which is a worse fate.

"Pastor Landon Spradin wasn't worried about coronavirus when he went to New Orleans to preach during Mardi Gras. A month later he was dead."

"Pastor Spradlin was taken to hospital in North Carolina where they discovered he had developed pneumonia in both lungs and he now also tested positive for Covid-19."

"After eight days in intensive care, Pastor Spradlin died."

Ford said on Monday morning that a shipment of three million medical masks from coming into the province on Sunday was blocked at the border on the way to Canada. ........ .

We will continue to export to our friends in Canada and Mexico.

That's from Peter Navarro just now.

I guess they did not hear from Peter Navarro!!!!

I guess they did not hear from Peter Navarro!!!!

Update: 500,000 were held up and are now being released. So a correction to the total, and the new news of a negotiated release of masks.

Good news.

I wonder how the poor guys at the border could have possibly been confused.

I am optimist by nature, but I´m afraid the outcome for Africa is very bleak.

Mike, are you in Zambia now ?

Funny how the number went down by 2.5M too.

Ford said on Monday morning that a shipment of three million medical masks from coming into the province on Sunday was blocked at the border on the way to Canada.

“We had three million masks stopped at the border this weekend coming up to Canada. That’s unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable that they’re doing this,” Ford said in an interview with Global News.

“Hopefully we’re going to work through it and get an exemption for Canada.”

As a result, Ford said the province now expects to run out of masks and other personal protective equipment for healthcare workers next week.

I am not disputing the above article, but:

I have read that Medicom is a Quebec City company.

I have read that Medicom makes masks.

I have read that Medicom has multiple factories in China.

I have read that China nationalized all production from those plants in January and refused to let the product out of China.


Wouldn't it be nice if Ford complained to the media, and the media reported, about China not allowing a Canadian company that is making masks for Canadians to send them to Canada.

America is certainly not without problems, but it would be nice if politicians and the media dealt with topics in a fair way.

If we are to believe the Prime Minister, those masks are coming in from China.
Who knows.

In an article from this morning, the COO of Medicom says that none of their product is being exported from China.


Hopefully the masks Canada is getting from China aren't the ones that were rejected by multiple countries in the EU last week as being inferior and not working.

Medicom, a Canadian manufacturer, has three factories in China, but the Chinese government has requisitioned all production and nothing is being exported, according to the company's COO, Guillaume Laverdure.
