I used to be a "glass half full" person ...but now I'm a "glass half empty" person...and with very good reason.
Woman at a Sydney hospital given an epidural of cleaning fluid/disinfectant in error, ruined her body and her life.
Women being mutilated by a doctor.
Elderly people being beaten up in nursing homes and seemingly starved in some hospitals.
Passengers trying to abandon the sinking cruise ship Costa Concordia after it tipped over on its side...crawling down the side of the hull pointing to the sky...in darkness...All shown on Youtube "cruises from hell".
Only in recent times passengers being airlifted by chopper off a sinking cruise ship.
etc.
There's a long list.

Yes burying the dead in cemeteries. The horror!

Now burying the dead in NY in long trenches on Hart Island.
The wooden boxes/coffins all the same...side by side along the trench, then they're all covered up to form a mass grave.

The man in charge of it all (think his name is Mr Lopez) said that relatives have 14 days to claim the bodies of their family members ...and that funeral directors are "dumpster diving" into the refrigerated trailers and dragging bodies they want over other bodies to get them out.
All shown on my ch9 6pm news today.

You don’t think the news sensationalizes things? Interested to know if channel 9 have reported on number of hospitalizations and ICU admissions this week in NYC? I’m going to guess not considering those are all at the lowest in close to a month....but that doesn’t support ‘the world is ending‘ narrative continued to be whipped up by media outlets during this pandemic. You literally have to scroll through dozens of articles to find anything positive these days, but then I guess you would be the last person to be reading anything positive.

What I love about this is the complete re-write of history when politicians, doctors, news anchors from BOTH sides were equally dismissive of the virus early on ...least of all the World Health Organisation who you’d think would be as bi-partisan as possible in a situation like this....but apparently not.

I watch the The Late show with Stephen Colbert & Jimmy Kimmel Live both New York based....and they spent mid Feb onwards smashing Trump and his administration for downplaying the threat of the virus in favour of talking up the stock market.

Anyhow your 100% correct- always question the media reports no matter what side of the fence they sit on. Sometimes you get the truth and sometimes you get total bullshit

The segment was presented in a solemn and dignified manner.
It was Mr Lopez who was getting upset about the record number of deaths....and the "dumpster diving".
The facts about the lessening of admissions was also mentioned.

One US media celebrity (male) is quoted as having said the other day about the dying in NY:
"They were on their last legs anyway".

Fox News seems to stand against the brigades of political correctness, tolerance, open borders, "anchor babies", "sanctuary cities", and "illegal immigration is great, cheap labour".
Trump and his MAGA hat were elected President by Americans to "take our country back" from such things.

Aerial video shows mass grave on New York City's Hart Island amid coronavirus surge

Australia should be sitting up and taking notice of what is happening there and in Europe, rather than contemplating relaxing our restrictions. I cannot believe we could be so careless and irresponsible. Unfortunately, as sad as it is, I think, realistically, it will take another 12 months at least to get over this. I don't think we can rest until a vaccine is discovered and rolled out.

Now the NRL is under fire from the Deputy Chief Medical Officer about re-launching the season. I hope they know what they are doing! Wayne Bennett and Ricky Stuart have both been called out as facing a significant risk if the season goes ahead. That is a big risk for the powers that be to accept. I am not sure that I would want to be them in this situation.

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jacinda-Ardern

Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern.

The second of two daughters born to a Mormon family, Ardern spent her first years in Murupara, a small town best known as a centre of Maori gang activity, where seeing “children without shoes on their feet or anything to eat for lunch” inspired her to eventually enter politics. Her father—a career law-enforcement officer who later (2014) became the New Zealand government’s high commissioner to the island of Niue—moved his family to Morrinsville, southeast of Aucklandon New Zealand’s North Island, where Ardern attended primary and secondary school. She matriculated to the University of Waikato in 1999.

In 2005 Ardern embarked on an “overseas experience,” an extended—usually working—trip to Britain, which is a traditional rite of passage for the children of New Zealand’s middle and upper class. Instead of labouring in a London pub or warehouse and then touring the Continent, however, Ardern worked for two and a half years in the cabinet office of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, serving as an associate director for Better Regulation Executive with the primary responsibility of improving the ways in which local authorities interact with small businesses. In 2007 she was elected president of the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY), a position that took her to destinations such as Algeria, China, India, Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon.

In her maiden speech she called for the introduction of compulsory instruction in the Maori language in New Zealand schools and she castigated the New Zealand government for what she characterized as its “shameful” response to climate change.

Opposed to the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints' stand on homosexuality and same-sex marriage, Ardern became a lapsed Mormon.

Ardern bridled at media attention to her physical attractiveness, characterized herself as an “acceptable nerd,” and described her approach to life as “relentlessly positive.”[/I]

Well there you go.
The Rt Hon Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand, elected as their leader by the good people of New Zealand.
New Zealand, our partner in ANZUS, and in the ANZAC legend.
She seems to be working for good not evil.
She seems to be the darling of the "climate change" brigade.

I would like her to be cool, calm, rational and measured in her manner, more "Prime Ministerial" if you like....less "castigating". Discussion behind closed doors would be better.
