territories, Health Minister Greg Hunt said at a news conference on Friday.

      "That's a testament to the work of our medical professionals,
       our public health teams, and Australians everywhere for the way
       in which they've observed the distancing requirements, the way
       they have protected each other, the way that they've come out
       for testing," Hunt told reporters.

To date, Australia has recorded just 909 deaths.  That is 35 deaths per million.

In contrast, the trump-regime has killed at least 1,344 per million! an_light

By downplaying covid-19, not attacking the virus agressively, and then
allowing the virus to proliferate throughout America, the failed trump-regime
is responsible for at least 436,000 deaths - which continues to kill more
Americans every 8 hours than Australia has over the entire pandemic!!

Oregon law to decriminalize all drugs goes into effect,
offering addicts rehab instead of prison

 

USA TODAY Feb.1

Measure 110, first-of-its-kind legislation that decriminalizes the possession
of all illegal drugs in Oregon, including heroin, cocaine, meth and oxycodone.

Instead of a criminal justice-based approach, the state will pivot to a
health care-based approach, offering addicts treatment instead of prison time.
Those in possession will be fined $100, a citation that will be dropped
if they agree to treatment.

The law goes into effect Monday and will be implemented over the next decade
by the state officials at the Oregon Health Authority.

    aussies way better than rump and the rumplickers

Hard to argue with success.   12 days without a single INFECTION (now 14 days) is remarkable.

Aussies developed a good plan - including masking, social distancing and shutdowns - and it worked. This was aided in large part, imo, because their citizens are not so potlitically divided as us.  Here, if one side supports anything that is inherently GOOD for the nation, the other side automatically opposes it. Australians unified against a common threat, as did New Zealand, Japan, and scores of other nations.

  Here, dumbasses screamed that their FREEDOM to infect and kill others was being taken from them, so they opposed public health measures in the guise of that "freedom" - and THAT increased the spread rather than decreased it.

agree .

some say the country is so divided it would not matter who was president .

but rumplickers r  obviously so devout that if rump would have led the chorus they would have snapped in line and we could b in a similar situation like the aussies

Fox Business suddenly cancels 'Lou Dobbs'
its HIGHEST RATED show

 

New York (CNN Business) Lou Dobbs, the longtime host of the signature right-wing
talk show on the Fox Business Network, was canned by the network on Friday night an_lightan_light

"Lou Dobbs Tonight" is off the air, effective immediately, a Fox spokesperson confirmed.

It was a head-scratching change by Fox Business, since Dobbs was its highest-rated host

Dobbs became known at Fox Business for his sycophantic pro-Trump programs.

His pro-Trump propaganda juiced Dobbs' ratings. But his far-right programming choices
repeatedly caused consternation within the company, a source close to the matter said,
and his program was a loss leader for Fox because
many advertisers didn't want to be associated with his content.

Dobbs was named in a $2.7 Billion lawsuit filed by Smartmatic, on Thursday. an_light

Nothing unusual happened when Lou Dobbs hosted his Fox Business show on Thursday evening.

His hour was full of Fox's usual themes about "radical Dims" (Democrats) and Big Tech "abusing their power."

"Join us here tomorrow," he said at the end of the show. "See you then."
 
But that, it turned out, was his final broadcast. Fox pulled the plug on Friday in a cancellation so swift that it surprised even Dobb's detractors.
A day later, TV insiders are still abuzz about why it happened and what the decision augurs about Fox.
 
Fox isn't answering.

more from cnn ::

The people who would know are not talking. Officially, Fox simply said that Dobbs' banishment was part of a broader programming revamp. And Dobbs declined to comment. But he spent Friday night and Saturday retweeting messages from dozens of his fans, including some who criticized Fox for the change.

Dobbs was once "respected as a business journalist," former Fox News executive John Huddy said in an email message. But in recent years he had been "out of control, reckless and bad tempered," Huddy said, articulating some of the factors that may have weighed on management's decision.

Dobbs was the highest-rated host on Fox Business. He often doubled his lead-in's ratings.
Although Fox isn't saying, the timing of Dobbs' cancellation Friday appears to be no coincidence: It took place 24 hours after Dobbs and Fox were named in a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit filed by voting technology company Smartmatic.

So, despite the trump-regime's total FAILURE to have in place an effective plan for vaccinating America, Joe Biden has picked up the fumbled football and moved in down the field with precision. 

Like Midnight1 is rightfully quoted as saying often: "trump had no plan"

But Biden team did and still does.

Sure, nothing is 100% perfect......but Biden promised an average of ONE MILLION vaccinations per day -- far better than the failed trump regime -- and not only has he achieved it, but he has vastly exceeded that goal to almost TWO MILLION vaccinations per day (weather permitting)

That's not just good news..... that's VERY GOOD NEWS!

At this rate (barring unforseen circumstances like blizzards, etc) we could have nearly ALL Americans who want to get vaccinated achieved by mid-June!

Town Hall event
Tuesday night with President Biden

 

President Biden will be fielding questions from Wisconsinites at a CNN town hall
Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET.

CNN's Anderson Cooper will moderate the town hall and ask some of his own questions,
but CNN's past town halls have prioritized audience interaction, and that's the plan for
Tuesday's event as well. "Expect the audience to dominate the questioning."
