    It's a put down of the United States after your "shitty Canada" comment about Canada.

    The put down is that there are wonderful warm places in the world for you if you dislike United States so much and these warm places (shown above) are known to have less enforced "immigration laws" that have been easily exploited by wealthy American citizens. :D

    Let's see how it is going in California where the majority of the population is not following the mask mandate and social distancing rules. Of course they are too busy to follow COVID rules because a million of them have signed a petition to recall Gov. Newsom for asking them to act safely & intelligently -- instead they whine about their "freedoms" and spread COVID around.

    ‘A mass fatality event’: California struggles with backlog of bodies of COVID-19 victims
    https://www.latimes.com/california/...r-begins-storing-bodies-as-covid-deaths-surge

    With hospital morgues overwhelmed by soaring numbers of bodies amid a surge in COVID-19 deaths, hard-hit parts of California are struggling to store the bodies of those who have died.

    The Los Angeles County coroner’s office is accelerating efforts to temporarily store corpses as the local death toll hits record levels.

    This week, six members of the California National Guard arrived to assist county workers in transferring bodies from hospital morgues to 12 refrigerated storage units parked at the coroner’s office, said Sarah Ardalani, spokeswoman for the office. Additional helpers from the National Guard are expected to come next week.

    Last spring, the coroner’s office had anticipated a surge in the dead and at least quadrupled its storage capacity to at least 2,000 bodiesby bringing in the 12 refrigerated trailers, according to Ardalani. There are also additional trailers that can each hold about 25 bodies each.

    As of Monday, the coroner’s office was holding 757 bodies.
    At the end of November, the beginning of the most recent COVID-19 surge, the containers held only about 60 bodies.

    Then the pace of fatalities began rising. In early December, about 30 people a day were dying; by Friday, the seven-day average was about 190 people a day.

    More than 4,200 COVID-19 deaths have been reported since Dec. 1, an astonishing number in just a matter of weeks. The cumulative number of dead in L.A. County from the disease is 11,872.

    In just the last four days alone, an average of 250 COVID-19 deaths a day have been reported in L.A. County. That’s higher than the average number of daily deaths from all other causes combined, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, car crashes, suicides and homicides, which is about 170.

    Hospital morgues are overcrowded because funeral homes and private mortuaries are so full that they are having to turn families away. Open spots at the hospital morgue are quickly being replaced by new bodies.

    To prepare for the surge, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services has been preparing to dispatch 88 refrigerated trailers around the state to supplement morgue space. Ten have already been dispatched to Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Imperial, Monterey and Sonoma counties.

    The other 77 trailers, donated by Illinois-based Hub Group, need to be retrofitted with shelving to double their capacity. Cal-OES said there’s a plan to set up an additional temporary morgue at the campus of the county coroner, with at least five trailers supplied by Cal-OES and another five supplied by L.A. County.

    These resources will help “ensure we don’t get large backups, or, if we do have backups, they’re dealt with [with] respect and dignity [and] that we have the appropriate equipment in place or materials that are required for coroners and medical examiners to effectively deal with the decedents,” Cal-OES director Mark Ghilarducci said in a statement.

    Funeral homes in Fresno County are also under pressure. Mortuaries have had to figure out ways to maximize storage space for the increasing numbers of dead, Fresno County interim health officer Dr. Rais Vohra said Tuesday, and mobile refrigeration units are being brought in.

    “This is a mass casualty, a mass fatality event that our county is experiencing. And we’ve had to expand the storage areas for the dead bodies here in Fresno County beyond what’s normal,” Vohra said.

    How much extra space the county will ultimately need depends on how quickly funeral homes and mortuaries can process bodies, Vohra said.

    “It’s going to take that whole ecosystem to try to figure out how best to work through this really large number of bodies that they have to get taken care of,” Vohra said. “I’m glad that those two trucks are coming, and I sure hope that we don’t need them.”

    Indeed it does. I have previously outlined all the COVID public health notices and articles from BLM/ANTIFA protests in the Carolinas. Many of these were superspreader events.

    You are anti human moron... we have been the most rights suppressed state in the country.

    There is no evidence of spread outdoors doing normal activity and we all wear masks indoors because it is required. Virtually 100 percent compliance.

    Here is the real reason. Detailed in the article below for those who can read and comprehend.

    one of our biggest issues is how densely populated we allow our housing to get in immigrant and new citizen areas. When you allow million and millions of illegal immigrants in.. you get very densely packed areas.

    If our govts don't seal the border... we create health care powder kegs.

    Once again jem tries to blame COVID spread on illegal immigrants. He fails to note that beyond L.A., California's worst COVID breakouts are in lilly white Republican counties where nearly no one follows COVID restrictions.

    In the meantime let's see how things are actually going versus jem's claims that everyone follows the restrictions in the "most rights suppressed state in the country".


    CA authorities arrest 182 after busting two ‘superspreader’ events
    https://nypost.com/2021/01/13/ca-cops-bust-two-massive-super-spreader-events/https://nypost.com/2021/01/13/ca-cops-bust-two-massive-super-spreader-events/



    California authorities busted two underground “superspreader” events and arrested 182 people as part of a large crackdown to curb the surge in coronavirus cases, officials said.

    The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office’s superspreader task force made the arrests at two commercial buildings Saturday night.

    Photos of the arrests posted by the sheriff’s department show some partygoers wearing face masks, and others without them.

    Sheriff Alex Villanueva made clear he will “seek out and take law enforcement action against all underground party events occurring anywhere within Los Angeles County.”

    KTTV reported one of the events was a “swinger’s party” in South Central Los Angeles.

    The crackdowns come as California nears one million confirmed COVID-19 cases as the surge of hospitalizations continue to overwhelm intensive care units.

    Yeah.... let's take a look at just a couple of your many posts in this thread blaming illegal immigrants for California's COVID problems.

    Jem did that while debating with people here that people in California were following the CDC Health guidelines and wearing face masks.

    His debates against those that posted videos of California people having maskless protests and so on.

    Simply, he doesn't realize the contradiction...if illegal immigrants in California are causing the problem...that in itself would imply California people are not following the CDC Health Guidelines. :D

    Yet, one of the videos I posted about Kirk Cameron showed hundreds of maskless protests under the facade of a Xmas Carol...these were not illegal immigrants nor is Mr. Cameron an illegal immigrant. In fact, he's an American citizen, an actor with a very large social media following and he's using social media to encourage people to not follow the CDC Health Guidelines. :mad:

    These Covidiots shot themselves in their own head via picking up the protests, no face mask wearing and lets not follow the health guidelines when schools begin to re-open in the re-opening process.

    They are now reaping the reward of their efforts although its something I would not wish to have. :(
