These fact-checking sites are merely excuses to justify censorship.

Are you referring to China only or to fact-checking in general?

9th case in my town

I no longer pay any attention to the numbers around here. As long as I keep practicing safety measures, take my vitamins, and avoid contact with humanity, I most likely won't become one of the statistics.

Agreed. I stopped following the corona numbers which are depressing here anyway. Only not the regulations as they change. I'll just stay home I guess.

My area of the Netherlands has become code Red by Belgium and Germany. Annoying. We're being punished for what happens in the big cities like Rotterdam where I never come in the first place. But it can't be helped I guess.

So we are a code Red area because in the whole town, 120,000 people we have 16 confirmed cases of Covid.

Latest UK restrictions, nationwide (in addition to some areas under "local" lockdown again), have imposed a curfew on pubs, cafes, restaurants etc, which have to have table service only, and must close at 22.00 hrs. ( maybe Covid is only infectious after 22.00 hrs !!].
This is all very well, by I've heard from my friend who' has the local pub, and he's had to close his doors, shutting the pub until further notice, as there is no way he can meet the demands of the rules, being a one-man business. I suspect there are many similar situations throughout the UK too.

The only way a bar/pub can survive these days

We went through that too. Some bars opened, others chose to close.

Nope - no way you're going to get into New Caledonia: New Caledonia: Coronavirus (Covid-19) safe travel destination ✓
Same with most of the pacific islands, and others are worse: they've closed their borders, even to their own citizens.

Just a story from across the pond,

A large Country is about to have an election
The President of a large country did badly in a face to face televised debate.
Result - deep discussion about what to do next as there are more face to face meetings to take place.
Find a way out.
Tell the media that the President has caught Covid.
Hoped for result - Simpathy from the voters, votes hoped to be in his favour.
Other option - postpon the election to a more favorable time.
Hoped for result - the President gets re-elected
Investigation into how he caught the virus.
Result of investigation - Got it from opposition leader.
Opposition leader jailed for endangering the President.
President made a miraculous recovery and is fitter now and younger than any other president has or ever will be.

How do you catch a hoax? Asking for a friend.

And we thought Richtohfen had a flying circus, and banana republics were only in Latin America! Ooopps, I guess that includes us now. Spanish our official language by 2050, just you wait and see. Saludas, amigos!

I cannot lie, it was me, he asked me to fly to Washington and give him some advice and I forgot my mask.
