Your Government Is Here For You

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose again!

Washington, DC – March 30, 2020: Trump unveils new five-minute coronavirus test device

Update: FDA authorizes two-minute antibody testing kit to detect coronavirus

Ottawa, ON – March 31st, 2020: “our next-generation manufacturing supercluster will be leading companies in developing and scaling up new technologies to test and to treat Canadians.”

Flashback to SDA, March 27th: This is GAME CHANGER. Abbott to market, starting next week, a fast point-of-care #coronavirus test, delivering positive results in 5min and negative results in 13min. Will deliver 50K tests/day to start. Kudos to Abbott and FDA’s Jeff Shuren and team at CDRH who are in the fight.

  1. “our next-generation manufacturing supercluster will be leading companies in developing and scaling up new technologies to test and to treat Canadians.”

    Complete with all sorts of bells, whistles, and frou-frous, designed with CAD software and produced by 3-D printing. The technology of the future, working for you today for a better tomorrow!

    I heard the same kind of malarkey during my years in government-funded R & D. Nothing tangible, nothing definitive, but, boy, does it sound impressive!

    1. The last thing this country developed something on it’s own was the Avro Arrow. Since then bogged down with union, union, union, .gov.gov.gov. Innovation was developed in the Oil Patch but even that is verboten, now. You’ll be taxed to death. Enjoy your solar heat and windmill transit folks. Open a can of Glop, feast. Oops, make that a soy baggie. Metals and plastic are out. Eat the bag for desert.

  2. But…. But… We are Sooo much better than drumph.. cbc said so.. PrancingPrincessParasite alludes to how smart we are.. Is that dory with the first aid kit coming down the St Lawrence to Montreal yet?.. We decided today to get 3 companies under contract for ventilators today.. probably ready by next March..Or are they chinese companies.. They could just ship the rejects from the Netherlands.. Gotta keep that lovely country of china ticking over so they can give us next years version of the plague.. Typical chinese products, this plague
    doesn’t work that well.

  3. Yes but Blackie and the CBC are excited that Toys R Us is donating baby monitors to hospitals. Beat that Trump.

  4. “supercluster”

    definition:
    super = above
    cluster = clusterf*ck

    summation: outstanding superlative exercise in f*cking-the-dog. Yup, Ottawankers never change.

    1. Yup. So long as it looks good, who cares whether anything gets done, let alone work?

      That’s what one gets when one deals with an organization that spends more time on “team-building” and focus groups that are on the level of debating the meaning of the word “the”.

    2. “summation: outstanding superlative exercise in f*cking-the-dog. Yup, Ottawankers never change.”

      Bombardier respectfully demands more subsidies

  5. It is rare to find articles in the mainstream media which criticize the Dear Leader, and if you do find them, more than likely they will be in the National Post. Chris Selley is one of the few (only?) to point out the obvious: the collapsing credibility of Team Justin:

    https://nationalpost.com/opinion/chris-selley-official-nonsense-on-masks-and-travel-bans-is-killing-ottawas-coronavirus-credibility?video_autoplay=true

    I am an NP subscriber so not sure whether the article is pay-wall protected. Let me know

  6. The beginning of video of Blackie has him speaking K-bec so that ended quickly. I don’t care what he says because he’s corrupt, a liar, a douche bag, and a sub-moronic narcissist.
    The Fucking Idiot probably watches cartoons all day.
    Despite my own disappointment with him, if Harper were in power right now shit would be getting done even while the press attacked him for having a new improved secret agenda.

    1. “The Fucking Idiot probably watches cartoons all day.”

      Actually you may be onto something. He does match a profile of someone who compulsively masturbates to Anime.

    2. No doubt the Turdhole is a ‘fucking idiot”… but what about his imbecilic wife Soupie… where is that clown ?
      Soupie supposedly had the China Virus and thats why her actor husband had to stay in isolation.
      Now Soupie is supposedly cured of the CHina Virus and is now going on vacation to the cottage (Mansion)
      Why isn’t the Media interested in how Soupie felt during her ordeal with the Chink Virus…?
      What was like for her to have the Virus?
      What were the worst symptoms she had to endure?
      When did she feel better?
      Did Soupie take any kind of medication while sick?
      How long did she feel sick?
      Why does no one in the Media care to ask these questions?
      Why is the “fucking idiot” Turdhole still hiding under the bed?
      Soupie gets the Virus, then she”s cured and goes on vacay with the kids… ? WTF?
      Meanwhile shitforbrains didn’t have the Virus, still doesn’t have the Virus and refuses to be tested for the Virus…
      but… remains in isolation.
      How does any of this make sense ?
      Why is that retard still hiding under the bed and only surfacing to perform his act with his Media comrades ?
      Why will he NOT be tested for heavens sake ? What is the excuse?
      Why is there no interest in Soupie’s thoughts on her illness?
      Why is that fucking idiot still hiding ?
      We are being played by these globalist grifters.
      Something is very wrong here.

  7. I tried to find out how long it takes to get the result of COVID-19 test in Ottawa. Nothing in the local Ottawa media. Nothing on the province of Ontario website. Did a Google search. Nothing. Called my MPP’s office. The person who answered said she thought it was about 7 -14 days, but wasn’t certain. She also said the office was getting a lot of calls about this (Ya think?) She finished by taking my phone number and saying she would get back to me if she could find out more. Still haven’t heard from her.

    Complete and abject failure of the mainstream media to provide at least daily reports on this critical statistic.

  8. Just in case anyone is still keeping track of all the silly numbers:
    Global kill rate among detected cases will probably reach 5% by tonight, tomorrow at the latest. Remember when idiots here cried that 3.4% declared by WHO was a huge overstatement? Good old times.
    Highest daily increase in Canada already (and that even before Alberta and BC report). So no, we haven’t peaked yet.
    About 70% of new cases come from the turd world shithole of Kebek. Is it because they do more testing or the famous French hygiene?
    In the last two days the number of recoveries doubled thanks almost exclusively to Ontario. This is important, both Ontario and BC had their first recorded outbreaks at the same time. Yet Ontario recoveries came in about a week later. That is because BC was originally severely undertesting. Paging Allan S: care to remind us how BC was flattening the curve and Trum was undertesting, idiot?

    1. Global kill rate among detected cases will probably reach 5%

      That’s because just about every country is under-counting infections and over-counting deaths. The emerging picture is that this thing is comparable to SARS and MERS, and we didn’t shut down the planet for those.

      1. “The emerging picture is that this thing is comparable to SARS and MERS”

        This is also not true. SARS and MERS were both deadlier but far less transmissible. However, the less deadly nature of COVID goes out the window if hospitals get swamped as a result of its transmissability.

      2. Yes, there is massive undertesting so what? Neither SARS nor MERS overwhelmed healthcare in civilized world like Wuhan did in Italy or Spain. This has been addressed hundreds of times already.

        1. “Neither SARS nor MERS overwhelmed healthcare in civilized world like Wuhan did in Italy or Spain.”

          That’s because those were vastly less transmissable. Further, South Korea was very prepared for just this event because of a MERS outbreak in 2015 that was actually pretty serious. That preparedness manifested in vastly increased testing, trace, isolation which led to a much better outcome.

          1. Yes that is true, we all know it already. Please go away, we have no interest in listening to old points regurgitated so you can feel better about not being wrong for once, nor do we need your stench. FOAD.

          2. You say it’s true, yet you also say things that are not true.

            Here’s a thought: listen to high-quality experts. Not carnies at Breittard but real people.

          3. Bitch please, you have no idea who I listen too, nor can you even remotely scratch the level of data analysis I have been doing my entire professional life. Life made very comfortable because I can read numbers. You end orders of magnitude before I begin.

        2. Actually, the Italian system was overwhelmed during the 2017-2018 flu season. That same season taxed many of the medical systems in the U.S. as well. There were “surge” tents set up in many States.

          1. They were unplugging 65 year olds from ventilators to make them available for younger patients two years ago?

      3. D R, it is SARS-CoV-2. Obama was in office when the swine flu hit. 61 million Americans were infected and between 12 to 18 thousand died, not sure why the variation in the death rate, but, nothing shut down except old folks homes.

  9. Where are you getting that 5% number from?

    ” Trum was undertesting, idiot?”

    He was under testing, idiot. That’s a large part of why we’re in this mess.

      1. Ah I see what the problem is: you have no idea what you’re talking about. You can’t just divide deaths into cases to get CFR. It’s more complicated and difficult than that. That’s why there’s this whole field called ‘epidemiology’. The Worldometer itself has some pages literally one click away from the one you linked to me showing the variance in estimates of morbidity.

        http://www.koreabiomed.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=7884

        1. Again addressed it multiple times in the past. This is just one, and a biased at that way of doing it. But it is an excellent way to gauge if your hospitals will be overwhelmed. It is also exactly how earlier WHO estimates (most notably the famous 3.4%) were constructed. You asked about that then and were shown the calculations that matched the WHO estimates. STFU already. You’re not needed here. Get Wuhan and die.

    1. Uh….just so you are aware, it is the State governors who are responsible for healthcare in their States. And who could forget those New York politicians encouraging everyone to take the subway, go to parades, etc? Boy, talk about myopic.

  10. The stupidclusters aren’t even new. They’re a buzzphrase from the ’70s period of central planning.

    Also Trump didn’t unveil anything. Abbot Industries did.

  11. The real game changer will be a serological test indicating whose had and developed antibodies to it. If you’ve had it it’s over there’s no scientific reason to believe you can be reinfected. The sero+ qPCR- people should be allowed to do as they wish when they wish.

    1. Yes, anti-body test kits will be a game changer when they are available in large numbers; but unfortunately, there have been some examples of a few recovered people becoming reinfected. It will take time and more examples and follow-up research to determine why. Is it a problem with the immune system of the recovered patient or a characteristic of the virus? Hopefully, we’ll know before the 2nd go round likely next winter.

      Worst case is that this is the type of virus that can reinfect. Some vaccines, for example are only effective for a few years, as some types of virus evolves that fast and re-emerge.

      The unknowns(chaos), being in new territory keep predictions tentative and raise anxiety among institutions and people. Prof. Peterson’s explanations apply here, and the politically correct are higher in neuroticism.

  12. This is a sick joke right? The US was so far behind in rolling out test kits – a full month behind South Korea – that they are paying the price for this incompetence.

    At the end of Feb BC had tested more people than the entire USA.

    1. You are a sick joke, yes. And you still failed to address the fact that BC was very severally understesting the early clusters. I asked you before: why is it the initial outbreak in Ontario and BC were recorded at the same time while first large batches of BC recoveries came in almost a week earlier than Ontario? Ponder that for a minute, but not too hard.

      1. How did they understand those early clusters?

        They tested early and fast.

        Why are they the only ones in North America that are flattening the curve?

        They tested early and fast.

          1. “I accept your surrender.”

            That’s not really how it works, but that is ok. When you comeback with an answer let me know. run along now, go play catch the scissors with UnMe.

          1. Not just that. You cannot have the same disease last a week shorter in BC than it did in Ontario. Ergo when BC started mass testing and detecting it they were detecting it at later stages than Ontario was detecting it. Ergo BC undertested initially. Yes, they were testing early relative to US, but they should have been testing much earlier. Ontario on the other hand appears to have timed the testing more or less right. Alberta is undertesting by policy. No idea if the huge Kebek counts during the last week come from more extensive testing or more widespread infestation.

  13. Trumpofilia en marche!
    Trump was supposed to disband BATFE and make its employees build the wall for food.
    Instead he spent how many billions to build a few miles?
    Your problem is that you allow lawyers and real estate agents rule your countries. If they are the best you can come up with, imagine the worst.

  14. I wonder why Sophie bugger off to the cabin, maybe the last 14 days with Prince Blackface sealed the deal. She gets the cabin, kids and cash and BF get a seat on the UN ethnics committee.

  15. L-Affirmative action hiring began decades ago to replace competency in the federal government. Now we’re seeing the effect during a crisis. This as the promotions of longer term employees are due to the Peter Principle.
    Catching up now are provincial and municipal government.

    Some businesses doing business with government have affirmative identity group hires to qualify for contracts(tokenism) but by organizational structure keep them away from any high octane projects or processes.

    High performance private industries are less affected, competitive ones depending on STEM fields expertise can outperform federal agencies by orders of magnitude. U.S. private sector, especially having the Trump administration freeing them from over-regulation, of all sizes will go to warp speed.

    Over regulated ones, as in Canada need permission to shift out of each gear, (triple that for over-drive). This only after first, presenting metrics on the effects on gender, diversity, inclusiveness and C02 emissions.

    High performance scares the you know what out of the mediocre. Speaking of mediocre, prepare for an equally mediocre economic recovery in Canada compared to the U.S. one.

  16. ” Trum was undertesting, idiot?” The Russian BOT

    Trump is not testing anyone other than Federal employees … The System COST 1K per test ( existing) is a huge STATE budget issue and a negative test is near worthless….

    You don’t understand Testing… The US tests the Money supply M1 daily @ close of Business, that testing is used in fiscal planning of economic status… Testing does nothing to the economy other than Observe (like the Useless UN)

    The Rapid testing allows for more data collection to feed the fucking flawed Models… such that they become Simulators (accurate observers) This allows more in field testing of drugs & valid results (obtaining results from chaos is near impossible)…Testing does nothing for stupid PL.. If you test negative on a Friday you could/may be dead by the next Friday…Self Isolation & sanitation & avoidance is more “individually” effective than testing (observing) every day….

    JMHO

  17. Your government is here for you.

    Well the chief medical officer of Canada tells Canadians not to self isolate at their cottage or summer home. This is the official “expert” advice.

    So Justin’s wife Sophie takes the kids to Harrington Lake. Note this means extra security resources.

    Justin says he’s still in self isolation because he was sharing the house with a sick person. Well didn’t that sick person just take the kids to Harrington Lake? By Justin’s logic isn’t she endangering the kids?

    Perhaps it was because Justin was exposed to another, different person? An aide maybe?

    Something fishy here. But maybe there is a simple true explanation that I’m missing. But if so, why did Justin give us his explanation?

    1. Simple plausible explanation: he is defalcating in his depends out of fear of being exposed to the disease he imported to Canada from his Chicom masters.

  18. So who is Trudeau isolating with? Anyone check the manifest of the military Challenger jet he uses to visit Tofino? Who is he travelling with? The media was all over Harper and his wife, looking for dirt, but there is a cloud of dirt coming from Trudeaus and all the media sees is sweetness and light. Is there a (real) journalist in the house? Someone? Anyone? Hellooo?

  19. We. Are. Doomed.
    But in the meantime our “illustrious leader” sees one last chance to funnel billions to manufacturing in Quebec & Ontario, and “who the hell cares about the rest of the country?”
    Is anyone in Canada even talking about making a deal with Abbott for the 5 minute test?

  20. Lets not skip over the much stricter travel restrictions Canada has in place compared to the USA. All foreign nationals barred entry with a few small exceptions. USA lists about 20 countries. We list the whole planet.

    Go ahead and look up inbound international flights to JFK. Madrid. Rome, Dublin, Montreal. The list goes on. All Covid hotspots.

    Canada requires isolation or quarantine for 14 days when returning from abroad. 750k fine and 6 months jail. USA requires nothing only makes weak recommendations.

    I find it hilarious you idiots are attacking Trudeau on this when it is Trump who is weak.

    1. “I find it hilarious you idiots are attacking Trudeau on this when it is Trump who is weak.”

      That is because you’re a POS demagogue, but we already know that. Blackie’s response was inadequate and so was Trump’s although in different ways.
      Meanwhile back in the real world US has begun imposing travel restrictions as early as Jan 31, Canada did nothing until March 18. https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/an-overview-of-united-states-travel-77119/
      Also, planes from China continue landing in Canada and none checks the travelers. The high social credit score saboteurs unloading from those planes are expected to self identify and behave responsibly.

      1. That’s because NOBODY is banning flights. We place TRAVEL restrictions. As of now it is in place for the entire planet, and any Canadians coming home must isolate for 14 days.

        Go ahead and look up inbound flights to the USA and much more lax requirements they place on travelers.

        Even as it stands now, Canadians can return to their country from any country, Americans can return to their country from any country. The difference is what happens when they get home.

        Italy also placed a much more restrictive travel ban on China before the USA. How’d that work out?

        1. And we should be banning flights and so should US and Italy. And we should have been doing it by late January, early February. And no dual nationals should not be allowed to comeback until it is over. Those who are not dual nationals, if they come from infected places should be transported directly from airports to military bases and kept there for two weeks. If everyone in the civilized world has done so we could be opening borders with each other now, while keeping out those who failed. Instead we are dying because god forbid we would insult citizens of (in)convenience from China or Iran. FETE.

          And yes we banned plenty of flights. So stop lying. https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/book/travel-news-and-updates/2020/china-travel.html#/pacific-3

          Travel restrictions for citizens of convinience are not enforced in any way.

          And again: you worthless demagogue, stop saying “but Trump” every time Blackie is mentioned.

          And of course you have entirely ignored the timeline of restrictions in US and Canada. Because you’re a demagogue.

  21. Heard today that the head of the military Vance said they are ready to go….if needed.

    Wonder if the bong is going to invoke martial law? War Measures Act? Strange for a military guy to advertise like that.

    1. ” War Measures Act?”

      The WMA was rescinded in 1988. There is no WMA. Government cannot declare an Act that is no longer on the law books.

  22. I have a theory on why PM Cowardly Crumpet won’t be tested for the virus. Dictators are notoriously paranoid. A test demands at least a vial of blood. You can tell a lot about a person with a blood sample. He would have to give up control (which a narcissist really hates) and trust that they were testing for one thing. A guy who has been serially bribing people would figure someone could easily bribe a lab technician. Also there may be life style or other diseases that might be detected. His medical records are likely as sealed as Obama’s.

    When will he leave the rabbit hole? The Press won’t be yelling “The emperor is wearing no clothes” anytime soon. They would be if we were a country with a free press.
