bonanzajoe@ "is there no other news available for us.." If you make comments via internet, the news of the world, from every corner of the world, is available! BBC for example, covers news on all kinds of topics. All the information on false COVID information is also available. Plus, You Tube has numerous teachings from great masters on how to deal with your delusional mind. Broaden your scope, You are living in a bubble.

guess covid fatigue is real! on Dec 21, 2021 at 8:58 am
No kidding! I don't know of a single person who's not sick of it. But guess what? Pretending it doesn't exist won't make it go away. Soldier on, folks - let's all suck it up, get through Christmas and the rest of winter, and see where we are come spring.

Related...admittedly abstract...admittedly wordy too.
Viewed a really good presentation online yesterday, called “who really owns the world”. Given the censorious nature of the Alphabet gang, Google more precisely I doubt you will find it there.
Viewed it on rumble, whilst much information was already known to me much was not. In the start, very large volume of data to digest...but worth the focus.
Money and control was the theme, and yes they wove COVID into the presentation very very well!
Folks supporting this political theatre, the climate change zealots, and others blindly wading through these current times?
Well they may not enjoy the presentation I speak of, unless they actually listened.
I encourage y’all to view it yourselves, and yes folks at the Star, moderation that suggestion is for you too.

Side note, given the epic fear counts we are “conditioned” with on the daily...surprised the state doesn’t use Sesame Streets Count.
Despite the jackboots on our necks folks, please try to have a Merry Christmas...even if it’s not your thing enjoy the human aspect, the contact, the social nature.

Five years ago, how many Yukoners were tested for the common covid with the faulty pcr test? Nix, zip, nada. And guess what? Not a single case was to be found!! We all lived completely free of the dreaded Night of the Bug.
Perhaps it is time to go back to those good old days? If you think that would be a good idea, then simply stop getting tested. No tests, no more common covid. Then we can simply deal with the symptoms as they appear just as we have done prior to the present insanity and neutralize this entire fiasco here in the Yukon.
You're welcome.

How many dead? How many in hospital please. So far, the "Pandemic" has felt like, and behaved like a 'flu'. Every year we get a flu shot that is supposed to protect us against the 4 or 5 most common flu strains around that year. That is what covid is doing, except, we are giving those strains names to promote the fear factor.
I will probably die before anyone ever finds out which conspiracy theory is right about the origins of this world flu which destroyed the balance of world economy. Not to mention, the death surge in non covid related demises. How many did die of of OD? Cancer? Broken Hip? Pneumonia. etc. A HUGE cost in terms of mental health.
I am not sure what these sneaks (Liberals) are up to in the Yukon, but its being kept pretty quiet.. A friend has mentioned privatization of the health care system so that they can institute "Poly Clinics". I am warning every person in the Yukon.. Do NOT let this happen.

Oh for cripes sake, is there no other news available for us? We're getting sick and tired of this covid report every day. There are no deaths except for 14 - and most of those were probably not from covid. Come on Elliot and Silver, let us enjoy the Christmas season. You all took last years away from us. But, I'm sure Silver and his entourage will enjoy their hockey game break in Vancouver while the rest of us have to put up with his ridiculous forced mandates.
