#2 Hey, the parent corporation was pro-Bidet, pro COVID hysteria. They greased the skids for where they are right now. But it's Trump and you proles faults, ya know...

#5 Meanwhile, a Puerto Rico blogger chronicles the Covidian morons' creation of the Mother of All Goat Rodeos:

"A simple 3 step plan to turn new years eve into the rodeo of 1000 goats and send hotels and hospitals alike into a tailspin.

Step 1: Mandate covid tests on top of vaccine proof for all large gatherings and for flying into Puerto Rico

Step 2: Panic everyone into wild over-testing

Step 3: Completely run out of not only rapid tests but even the actual reagents for PCR such that you literally cannot get a covid test on PR for love or money

This 3 step plan has literally inundated the emergency rooms with healthy people trying to get PCR tests so they can go to concerts, clubs, and big hotel parties for NYE.

Pretty much every event over 100 people is demanding it.

In flawless, on point irony, the ER’s are struggling to provide the actual emergency care for which they are intended because of this and we’re having, for the first time all covid, an actual crisis at the hospitals, not because of disease, but because people want to hit the el san juan hotel party or club 787.

it’s going to be the perfect lose/lose scenario as these parties are going to get gutted because guests cannot enter, the ER’s are on tilt, and who knows how the incoming tourists or locals coming home are supposed to get a test within 48 hours of landing (per new rules).

Apparently, trips and reservations are getting cancelled wholesale over it.

Probably 1/3 of the restaurants in san juan are closed because staff got a positive covid test and the rest cannot get cleared with negatives as no tests are available.

So the health minister responds by cutting restaurant capacity to 50%. so now it’s bedlam everywhere.
