    I have a Facebook account which gets used basically as a Messenger, a way to follow a few user groups (for hiking etc), and for looking at photos that my wife says I might find interesting.

    The rest of the feed has been entirely shut down. It seems to work well.

    There is certainly an ongoing thing. Facebook employees have quit over the content FB allows Trump to disseminate, and there have been company-wide protests.

    That's the thing about FB, they don't create the content, but if they allow politicians or third parties to distribute misinformation or misleading/doctored videos etc. they are essentially complicit in the resulting outcomes. This obviously applies to the entire political spectrum, but the most egregious examples are coming from a particular individual/party. There was the whole Cambridge Analytica thing too.

    Facebook is "Republican" if your contacts are and/or advertisers have reasons to think you as a Facebook user are Republican (or could become one) and vice versa. Advertisers "microtarget" their content to specific facebook users, and often when it works, false and misleading info from targeted ads is then shared with contacts organically or by bots. It has been a huge issue in terms of "fake news" in the last 5 years or so, where people begin to believe and share things that have no basis in reality

    Your own facebook experience may be very different. I don't get any of this "George Soros and Obama bankrolling antifa" stuff myself, likely because I and my contacts don't fit the particular profile those ads are being targeted towards. Your own facebook tends to reflect whatever your own contacts, groups, and content are, so if its liberal to you, you may have a lot of liberal-leaning contacts. I do. And there are misleading ads targeting liberal users too.

    Today, 25 June......

    https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/statu...20293517803525

    New U.S. coronavirus cases reach the highest daily total with 36,358 new ones today, according to the latest @NBCNews count.

    how's the warmer temps working out for you Donald in curing the disease? Not to mention the discipline needed to get rid of this disease.

    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...28755248828416

    Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but...
    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...28756456808448

    ....he will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone. Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!

    As most countries are flattening the curve, the USA is trending the wrong way. Not to mention, they are still dealing with the initial wave. They haven't even had the second wave yet. You cant have a second wave if you havent got rid of the first one yet.

    At this point Trump is just ignoring the pandemic and concentrating on his bid for re-election. What a cluster F@#!. So utterly devastating to have a man like Trump in charge.

    This is an excellent and very comprehensive timeline of Canada’s response to COVID-19. It’s important to read to the end.

    Trump is warming up to the idea of wearing a mask. Too bad he's too dumb to understand the point of wearing it.

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tr...hat-2020-07-01

    “Actually, I had a mask on. I sort of liked the way I looked, OK? I thought it was OK,” Trump told Fox Business. “It was a dark, black mask, and I thought it looked OK. Looked like the Lone Ranger. But, no, I have no problem with that. I think — and if people feel good about it, they should do it.”
    Someone needs to tell him the mask is supposed to cover his mouth and nose, not his upper face LOL!

    Massive spikes again across the USA.

    USA quietly buying up all the stock piles of a possible vaccine too. To the point where the rest of the world can't get any till after September. (sorry not a vaccine, but a treatment drug)

    Was just at the grocery store and many people were buying party food. Our numbers have gone down dramatically here in Chicago but we'll see another spike after this holiday weekend. Just blows my mind how little people are paying attention and how reckless they are.

    USD too. So 2,700usd - 4,100usd...

    And yeah like Daydream said, you'll see more spikes after this weekend. Ontario beach cities have reclosed beaches (or talked about it) because after this week (Canada day + hot weather) made beaches insane.

    Was it here that I was reading that the cost to do a test is something like $900 and if you dont have insurance and dont have the money, they arent even testing them? They are just turning them away?
