Professor Sam McConkey of the Royal College of Surgeons said that people in certain counties could now feel safe to hug elderly loved ones once again.

The risk of contracting the coronavirus from the community in Ireland is now at about "one in a million", according to a specialist in infectious diseases.

Professor Sam McConkey, head of the Department of International Health and Tropical Medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons, said that people in certain counties could now feel safe to hug elderly loved ones once again.

McConkey was speaking to Brendan O'Connor on RTÉ Radio One on Saturday and said that most new daily cases are known contacts of other cases and that the chances of unexpectedly contracting the virus while out and about are exceptionally rare.
"The number of unexpected cases of Covid-19 or of SARS 2 virus is around a one in a million level in Ireland and many of the numbers that we're seeing each day in Ireland are known contacts of other cases, so they're not unexpected."
The majority of new cases are house or work contacts, according to McConkey, and most newly-diagnosed cases have already been in self-isolation.

About six months after Allyson Watterson was reported missing, the Washington County Sheriff's Office said it believes the 20-year-old's body had been found Saturday afternoon near North Plains.

The sheriff's office said a property owner in an unincorporated area near North Plains, where Watterson was originally reporting missing, discovered the remains while clearing brush. Based on the location of the remains and evidence found at the scene, detectives suspect the remains are Watterson's.

The area in which the remains were found is sprawling farm land with large pieces of property. The body was found several hundred yards off the main road, and the sheriff's office said they're planning on bringing the county Department of Land Use and Transportation to the scene to help with clearing some of the landscape.

A court in Saint Petersburg has given Viktor Filinkov and Yuly Boyarshinov, both accused of being part of a terrorist organization in the 'Network' case, seven and five and a half years behind bars respectively.

The trial found that Kazakhstani national Filinkov, 25, and Russian citizen Boyarshinov, 28, had been members of the 'Set' (Russian for 'Network') anarchist terrorism community since 2016. Filinkov pleaded not guilty and Boyarshinov confessed. In 2017 and 2018, several alleged members of the group were arrested in Penza and Saint Petersburg, including these two men.

Prosecutors alleged that the pair, together with other members of the community, took part in the discussion of terrorist activities, conducted weapons training, and trained in techniques for the capture of buildings.

An op-ed by a left-wing German columnist in which she called for the abolition of the "trash" police ahead of the Stuttgart riots drew the ire of the interior minister, who pledged to hold her responsible for the incendiary piece.

Horst Seehofer told Bild newspaper that "as interior minister," he will register "a criminal complaint against the columnist because of the unspeakable article in taz about the police."

Seehofer, a heavyweight from the CSU, the Bavarian sister party of Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU, stated that "a lack of inhibition in
language" leads to "lack of inhibition in deeds, and to excesses of violence, just as we saw in Stuttgart."

Comment: Reports from the Stuttgart:

The family of a Texas woman who once portrayed Aunt Jemima has called on the breakfast brand to reconsider its decision to scrap the ubiquitous portrait from its products.

Vera Harris said the family takes pride in Quaker Oats scouting her second cousin Lillian Richard to become a brand representative in 1925, news station KLTV reported.

"She was considered a hero in [her hometown of] Hawkins, and we are proud of that. We do not want that history erased," Harris said.

Comment: More from KTLA:
Harris said her family feels that activism has gone too far.

"I wish we would take a breath and not just get rid of everything. because good or bad, it is our history. Removing that wipes away a part of me. A part of each of us. We are proud of our cousin," Harris said.

Lillian Richard died in 1956 after working 23 years for the Quaker Oats company.

Harris said she and the Richards family are also against the renaming of military bases because many of their relatives are veterans.
So the virtue-signalling mob is attempting to erase the legacy a black woman and her family were proud of. Way to be an "ally" . . . .

How fragile is CHAZ? Video shows 'warlord' begging for paramedics to go inside & save man's life after shooting - UPDATE

Two separate shootings in Seattle's 'autonomous zone' have highlighted the fragility of the experiment. Victims had to be taken to hospital in private cars because city rescuers would not go inside the potentially dangerous area.

The shootings happened minutes apart on Saturday night inside Seattle's Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) - also called CHOP (Capitol Hill Organized Protest) - leaving one person dead and another one in critical condition. The tragic outcome for one of the victims may have been influenced by the fact paramedics were unable to reach the scene of the shooting and treat the injured young man on site.

Video posted by activist and rapper Raz Simone, the so-called 'warlord' of CHAZ, shows him pleading for the paramedics to move inside the zone. "This is what you guys are doing? You could be saving this man's life right now!" Simone is heard crying. Radio chatter from one of the vehicles waiting at the staging area confirms they had not been cleared to move into the scene.


Comment: UPDATE: The police DID try to secure the scene. The protesters didn't let them. It isn't the paramedics' fault that the victim didn't receive treatment in time - it's the protesters' for living in a fantasy world with no police allowed.

Helmut Kentler, a man responsible for vulnerable children being sent into the care of pedophiles for decades, wouldn't have got away with it for so long had he not been admired by those in power, researchers and activists told RT.

Germany is still reeling from a massive child abuse scandal as it was revealed that a man long considered to be one of the "founders of modern sexology" in fact acted as a "matchmaker" for pedophiles by sending neglected children into their care under the passive eye of Berlin authorities.

Such a powerful blow to the psychologist's reputation would hardly hurt him anyway, though, since the man died back in 2008 at the venerable age of 80. Till the very end, Kentler was considered a progressive thinker and a respectable member of the scientific community.

The Department of Justice is intervening in an Idaho transgender rights case, siding with the state's efforts to prevent males from competing in female-only sports.

At issue is a federal court case involving Idaho's Fairness in Women's Sports Act, which forbids males who identify as females from participating in female sports competitions. The ACLU in a federal lawsuit is arguing that the law violates the U.S. Constitution and federal Title IX statute.

Flashback Dennis Prager: The worldwide lockdown was likely the greatest mistake in history

The idea that the worldwide lockdown of virtually every country other than Sweden may have been an enormous mistake strikes many - including world leaders; most scientists, especially health officials, doctors and epidemiologists; those who work in major news media; opinion writers in those media; and the hundreds of millions, if not billions, of people who put their faith in these people - as so preposterous as to be immoral. Timothy Egan of the New York Times described Republicans who wish to enable their states to open up as "the party of death."

That's the way it is today on planet Earth, where deceit, cowardice and immaturity now dominate almost all societies because the elites are deceitful, cowardly and immature.

But for those open to reading thoughts they may differ with, here is the case for why the worldwide lockdown is not only a mistake but also, possibly, the worst mistake the world has ever made. And for those intellectually challenged by the English language and/or logic, "mistake" and "evil" are not synonyms. The lockdown is a mistake; the Holocaust, slavery, communism, fascism, etc., were evils. Massive mistakes are made by arrogant fools; massive evils are committed by evil people.

Dutch police have cracked down on a protest against coronavirus restrictions in The Hague. Water cannon and mounted police were deployed to break up the crowd, and around 100 people were arrested according to local media.

Only a small demonstration was permitted by the local authorities, but large crowds defied the restrictions and flocked to The Hague's Malieveld, a large grass field in the city center traditionally used for mass gatherings.

Comment: The hypocrisy is stunning. As long as people are protesting government approved injustices, there aren't any issues. But if you're actually protesting government actions, you're met with police violence.
