They’re out on the streets again.

On Saturday, around 38,000 people marched in Berlin, calling for an end to pandemic restrictions. It was a bizarre mix of people: families and senior citizens were joined by right-wing extremists, some sporting swastika tattoos. Protesters brandished signs reading “Take off the slave masks,” while others held up peace flags. Many shouted “We are the people” and others called on President Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia to “liberate” Germany.

(lulzzz - I love this)

In a scene bound to be inscribed in the country’s history, a group carrying the “Reichsflagge,” the black, white and red flag of the German Empire that served as the basis for that used by the Nazi regime, broke through a police barrier and attempted to enter the Reichstag, the Parliament building.

It was a terrifying escalation in a sequence of protests against the country’s response to the pandemic, beginning in April in the southwestern city of Stuttgart. They have since spread across the country, with varying success — sometimes bringing 250 people out, sometimes 5,000. At the start of the month, they crossed a threshold: Over 30,000 protesters gathered in Berlin on Aug. 1.

These demonstrations are something of a mystery. One of the strangest things about them is that there is hardly anything to protest: Most restrictions, never as strict as in some other European countries, have been lifted.

So who are the protesters? What brings them to the streets? And are they here to stay?

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält.
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt,
|: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt! :|

Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.
|: Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang! :|

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
|: Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland! :|

For real though 38,000 people - that’s pretty damn wild

State cuts ties with Quest Diagnostics, says labs didn’t report 75,000 COVID-19 test results

Published: September 1, 2020 12:07 PM EDT

The State of Florida said Tuesday it’s cutting ties with Quest Diagnostics over the company’s failure to upload 75,000 COVID-19 test results dating back to April.

The state said Quest didn’t report findings in a timely manner and didn’t follow state law.

Quest said that everyone who tested positive has been notified.

“The law requires all COVID-19 results to be reported to DOH in a timely manner. To drop this much unusable and stale data is irresponsible,” said Gov. Ron DeSantis. “I believe that Quest has abdicated their ability to perform a testing function in Florida that the people can be confident in. As such I am directing all executive agencies to sever their COVID-19 testing relationships with Quest effective immediately.”

Without the backlog of Quest results, the positivity rate for new cases on Aug. 31, 2020, is 5.9%, the state said.

Those backlogged case numbers will be included in Tuesday’s report from the Department of Health.

Quest Diagnostics’ full statement:

“Quest Diagnostics takes seriously our responsibility to report laboratory data to public health authorities in a timely manner to aid pandemic response. Due to a technical issue, our reporting of a subset of public health COVID-19 test data to the Florida Department of Health was delayed. This subset involves nearly 75,000 of the approximately 1.4 million COVID-19 tests we had performed and reported to the state.

“We apologize for this matter and regret the challenge it poses for public health authorities in Florida. The issue has since been resolved. Importantly, the issue did not affect or delay reporting of test results to providers and patients.

“Quest Diagnostics has provided more COVID-19 testing on behalf of the citizens of Florida than any other laboratory and we believe we are well positioned to continue to effectively aid patient care and public health response for the state. We remain open to working with the state Department of Health to provide testing that meets the needs required for patient care and public health response.”

DeathSantis is the most crooked ass book cooking death magnet necro-capitalist in the state of Florida. This **** of making data collection impossible then firing people because you don’t like the numbers. Another Trump move slight of hand by a ****ing piece of **** mass murderer.

If search bots pick this up and someone from the governor’s office ever reads this here’s a personal message from me to you: please ****ing kill yourself. Thanks in advance.

Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Gov. Ron DeSantis has made it no secret that any and all professional sports are welcome to play in Florida during the coronavirus pandemic.

So on Thursday, DeSantis expressed disappointment that his home town team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, aren’t letting fans in the stadium for the first two home games. And he suggested that the Bucs decision could negatively affect perceptions about the region’s readiness to welcome fans from around the world when the Super Bowl comes to Tampa in February.

“I really want to be able to show that Tampa is going to be a great place to host the Super Bowl,” DeSantis said. “Showing this community is ready to host a great Super Bowl, having some fans there would’ve been a good first step. It’s not where we need to be.”

Please die, DeathSantis.

Covid-19 already attacked almost in every countries. Lots of people already died and recovered as well. Lots of people lost their jobs because of this pandemic.

Welcome back, Ashwell John ! You have not been here for a long time

OH's recent posts made me think about something that is perhaps instructive about coronavirus and its attendant lockdown: which rights do the Western world feel strongly enough about to protest? Apart from the obvious economic hurt, people are demanding the right to:-

party, pray, demonstrate, attend political rallies, go sunbathing, play or watch sports and er, drive up and down on motorbikes

Russian vaccine safe, induces antibody response in small human trials; Lancet study
