Good news doesn't create clicks or align with the narrative being used to
exert control over populations lately.   People are waking up though, and
many of them are not going to put up with continued lockdowns.   That is
also good news!

I'm going to make John's head explode posting this, but take a look at what
happened in Montreal over the weekend due to continued lockdowns:

TL;DR:  10s of thousands of French Canadians protesting lockdowns chanting
USA and carrying Trump 2020 signs in Canada!  As I've mentioned many times
before, Trump is a symptom of a much larger problem.   I'll leave it to the
reader to figure out what the problem is, but it's not racism.

A high ranking Irish doctor has also made shockwaves by being bold enough
to declare that the Emperor wears no clothes:

I'll close with an interesting (and positive) hypothesis around mask use:
