Had King James’s Privy Council contained a proto-Anthony Fauci in 1620, there might not have been a Thanksgiving holiday for the current-day Fauci and his peers to cancel four centuries later. The transatlantic voyage that brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock would have been unthinkable under the ‘stay safe’ philosophy that now governs American life.
At this point in 2020 I don’t think that many of us would be dumb enough to ask for maybe just one thing to go smoothly. We’ve got conservatives being arrested for breathing now, after all. Strap in kids, it’s gonna be a bumpy landing.
Error in reporting COVID-19 data resulted in overestimation of case count on Monday, province says
Ontario is reporting 1,009 new cases of COVID-19 but the province says an error in reporting yesterday’s data has resulted in an underestimation of today’s case count and overestimation of Monday’s total.
On Monday, Ontario reported 1,589 new cases of the virus , a new single-day record, but the province now says that number was not accurate.
“Due to technical issues, instead of including cases up until 12:00 p.m. on November 22, yesterday’s report contained cases reported in CCM up until 8:30 p.m. on November 22, resulting in an overestimate of the daily counts yesterday, and an underestimate of the daily counts today,” a spokesperson for Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott said in an email on Tuesday.

And pouring on some extra hot sauce, too.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, set to meet Monday with his COVID-19 steering committee amid an alarming rise in cases, has suggested more restrictions are coming but a “holistic” approach to the pandemic will continue.
On Friday morning, we sent out a press release that ruffled a few feathers.
The headline? “We’re one of Canada’s oldest conservative organizations, and Doug Ford and Brian Pallister are way out of line.”
We stand by that message even more so now — especially after the Premier of Ontario dropped the hammer on all small businesses, gyms, and restaurants in the GTA (without evidence of community spread), while continuing to allow the big box stores to flourish.
“The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has issued letters to individuals who may have applied for the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) from both Service Canada and the CRA, and who may be required to repay an amount to the CRA,” a CRA spokesperson said in an email. “The letters did not require immediate payment; rather they informed the taxpayer that there may be a requirement to repay amounts received.
In an open letter addressed to state officials, Walmart leadership expressed gratefulness to the government for inflating their sales and stock prices while completely pulverizing their small business competition.
“Yeah, we know 2020 has been tough for the little people,” said one board member while shoveling piles of cash into his vault. “But it’s been super great for us! No longer do we have to worry about the baker down the street or the family-owned hardware store next door taking away some of our business. The government just blew them up! We didn’t even ask them to! Can you believe it? What luck!”
“People who do not currently live in your housing unit, such as college students who are returning home from school for the holidays, should be considered part of different households,” reads CDC guidelines for holiday celebrations.

The CEO of the popular breakfast chain Waffle House is calling out lockdown-loving, elitist politicians who have nearly bankrupted the restaurant industry during the COVID-19 pandemic with one-size-fits-all restrictions on indoor dining. “None of the people who make the decisions to shut down businesses and impact people’s livelihoods ever have their own livelihood impacted,” Walt Ehmer declared.

Climate change: Covid pandemic has little impact on rise in CO2
The global response to the Covid-19 crisis has had little impact on the continued rise in atmospheric concentrations of CO2, says the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
Carbon emissions fell dramatically in 2020 due to lockdowns that saw transport and industry grind to a halt.
But this has only marginally slowed down the overall rise in concentrations, the scientists say.
A video has emerged showing protesters crashing New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s family dinner at a local restaurant. The governor has been advocating for families to limit their public outings for the holiday season.
