Canadian Man Pees on Dairy Queen Counter

An unmasked Canadian man was so peed-off about a Dairy Queen‘s face covering mandate that he relieved himself on the counter of the fast food restaurant.
The peevish customer argued with staff about British Columbia’s mask policy before unzipping his pants and defiling the DQ service counter as the staff shrieked in horror, footage showed.

“It’s not a BC policy. BC policy says you have to observe exemptions,” the dribbling dissenter said in the video before apparently taking matters into his own hands.

“F—ing psychopaths,” he exclaimed before walking out of the store.

WHO Warns of Colombian COVID-19 Mu Variant, B.1.62

The World Health Organization said it is monitoring another new COVID-19 variant with mutations that the agency fears could make it resistant to vaccines.

The Colombian Mu variant, also known as B.1.621, was added as a “variant of interest” to the organization’s watch list Monday.

“The Mu variant has a constellation of mutations that indicate potential properties of immune escape,” the bulletin said.

Solar Storm 2021: “Internet Apocalypse”

Solar storm 2021: There is another solar storm coming, and the Internet, which is the backbone of almost every activity that happens in the world today, be it governance, medicine, manufacturing, banking or even education, is under threat again. A new report on solar storm impact suggests that a massive upcoming solar storm is likely to damage the infrastructure and in the process cause a massive internet apocalypse.

According to a research paper published by Sangeetha Abdu Jyothi of the University of California, Irvine and VMware Research, a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), popularly known as a solar storm, is a directional ejection of a large mass of highly magnetized particles from the sun. When the earth is in the direct path of a solar storm, these magnetized and charged solar particles will interact with the earth’s magnetic field and produce several effects, which includes damaging long-distance cables that constitute the backbone of the Internet.

CDC: Unvaccinated People Shouldn’t Travel Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend promises a surge in travel among Americans, but the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has asked people to reconsider their plans — particularly the unvaccinated.

In a White House COVID-19 response team briefing on Tuesday, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told reporters, “First and foremost, if you are unvaccinated, we would recommend not traveling.

Walensky added, “We have actually articulated that people who are fully vaccinated and who are wearing masks can travel. Although given where we are with disease transmission right now, we would say that people need to take their own — these risks into their own consideration as they think about traveling.”

The CDC also updated its domestic travel recommendations on Aug. 25 advising people to “delay travel until you are fully vaccinated.”

Michigan Police Chase Emu

Police in Michigan said they ended up in an unusual chase when a call initially thought to be a joke led to finding a loose emu wandering around town.

The Shepherd Police Department said in a Facebook post that officers initially suspected they were being pranked when the call came in from Isabella County Central Dispatch about an “escaped feathered animal” on the loose in the village.

Officers who arrived on the scene were surprised to see the wandering emu, a large, flightless bird native to Australia.

Quebec’s Vaccine Passport Implemented, Unvaccinated in Prison State

Starting today, proof of vaccination will be as much of a daily necessity in Quebec when leaving the house as a wallet or house keys.

Dubbed the COVID-19 vaccination passport, digital or paper documentation will be required to take part in much of public life, from having a beer to playing badminton.

Other provinces — including British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario — are poised to implement their own systems in the days and weeks to come.

In Quebec, the list of non-essential activities prohibited to those without a vaccine is wide-ranging: restaurants, movie theatres, gyms, team sports and indoor pools are all now off limits to those who aren’t adequately vaccinated, or granted a rare exemption for medical reasons. (A full list of places and activities where the passport applies is available here.)
