Corona Zombies 2: Barbie & Kendra Save The Tiger King

Most of the risks stated in the article are negligible or won’t be mitigated by just driving a car. The only serious one is fuel going bad, but driving once per 2 months should be fine for that and will be better for environment. From my experience there’s no such thing as “transmission drying out”, some of my vehicles sit for 6 or more months between uses and that never happened (I don’t have anything with automatic transmission though).
I’d say it’s better to avoid risk of infection due to gas station visit.

Headline should read “sanctuary city for coronavirus.” Also, the person speaking so glowingly of this has a vested interest in people dying. SMFH.

These Nurses in Belgium are protesting the Prime Minister because she signed a decree allowing hospitals to hire less trained people to help out with the more menial tasks at hospitals during a crisis. Powerful, peaceful, and well coordinated show that impressed until I read the reason for it.

I understand them. Such a decree would be reasonable if it also significantly raised wages of already hired, experienced nurses. Knowing how little nurses earn (I’m not sure about Belgium, but at least in other countries), it is entirely possible that newly hired people will earn more than them despite lower qualifications. They will probably not find many candidates to work in a hospital for a low wage during pandemic.

The reasons sound reasonable:

Representatives later explained that front-line workers were disappointed in the government’s handling of the crisis, and its approach to health care in general, including issues such as budget cuts, low salaries and staff shortages. They are also unhappy about the government’s attempts to recruit unqualified staff to provide support to nursing personnel, rather than pay for trained professionals.

ETA:
Oh, and the response from the government was not exactly measured:

“Some of the hospital staff evidently wished to ruin the sympathy and admiration built up over the past few months with ridiculous actions – like children who have not had what they wanted – that reflect a politicised trade union opposition guided by the left, which has had to be silent until now but aims to exploit this crisis as much as possible,” the minister wrote in her post which, however, was no longer visible by midday.

Way to support your medical sector in a crisis. You hack.

That’s just a little too spot on. The writers of this stupid timeline are starting to get lazy.
