Yeah I definitely see what you're saying teenagers are difficult at times they don't like being told what to do I know I used to be the same, but at least the teenager can stay home if they chose not to wear a mask and the parent can still work and not have to be home to look after them. Then it's up to the parent to enforce it to their teenager or maybe put them into online schooling if they continue to refuse to wear a mask, but at least the teenager can do the schooling on their own at home still and not have a parent staying home to watch them. I was just thinking of the burden of elementary kids and parents who have to be home if their kid isn't at school because someone has to look after them and I know not everyone can do that. Some kids are compliant good to hear yours are, but not all kids are and it could be hard for some parents I would believe.

I'm going to lean towards maybe confused, and I'll admit some restrictions have been a little confusing, and them changing them last weekend made it a little confusing again, but it really was only for people who lived alone, so if you don't live alone the restrictions were still the same still. Yes I'll agree he should know, but he also did ask the health minister if it was ok to do first, and Adrian Dix is the one who told him that he could do that, I found that very alarming. As for the mask one yes another alarming one I didn't agree with, they played that one wrong for a while, at least they finally budged and changed for public spaces well most. As for Schools I do hope they can find a way to enforce the masks there a little more, again it's tough with young kids I get it, but parents also need someone looking after their kids so they can work, it's a catch 22 in tough times with the way this world works and the economy, and bills and keeping a roof over your head, but let's hope they can get a little stricter on masks in school would be nice to see.

I have to jump in on this, because what KoS is saying and implying is correct, what Horgan was planning to do was go against what restrictions they have in place for B.C. right now. The only exception right now is for people living alone or if you are caring for someone, there is no other exceptions. If you "live" with 2,3,4,5,6 etc people that's your bubble that's it, you can't bring over people, the only people who can bring people over is people who live alone and that's 1-2 people max only in their bubble. Last weekend they did change something for Christmas for people who are living alone basically allowing them to go see family now but only if you live alone, didn't hear they were changing anything for people who don't live alone and that would mean they still can't have people over, unless it's someone who lives alone and is family.

He was in Langley 2 years ago at the sports card show signing autographs, great guy!

The way this world operates for the economy is what's the bigger problem, it's broken and wrong, but that conversation is for another time, but that's what's influencing the problem more, it actually sucks. Greed over People that's the system they created.

I guess better late then never, but still I would of thought after this world dealt with something similar a 100 years ago, that they would have a better understanding of how to deal with it a bit, but it's like they have no idea and still figuring out how to handle it. It's actually a little scary that the means of transportation a 100 years ago wasn't anything close to how it is now. Boats were the main and only real way to travel out of country and that virus was able to last almost 2 years by boats, now we have planes and people traveling way more than a 100 years ago. If the virus lasted 2 years a 100 years ago with only boats for traveling, million dollar question is how long will it last now with our means of transportation... My gut says it will be longer then 2 years now.

Well everyone has the right to their opinion, but I'm surprised there isn't a playbook tbh, this world dealt with a pandemic very similar to this 100 years ago, what happened to all the information they collected from it.... Did the world really not learn anything from it back then? Like nothing for the future if they have to deal with something like this again.... I'm more tired of the anti maskers and their agenda, people can run their mouth all they want that doesn't bother me, but when people are physically doing something that puts others in danger because of their actions, now that's something to be upset about imo.

Agent Scott Boras: Blue Jays are pursuing ‘group of players’ to bolster roster Once a regular target for Scott Boras’ biting barbs, the Toronto Blue Jays are now drawing praise from arguably the sport’s most powerful agent for their aggressive posture in the marketplace. “I think they really feel this is a now time for them, and I said before that they built the lamp and now they’re looking for the right light bulbs,” he continued. “I think they’re in ready pursuit of a group of players that they think can be additions to the core that they built, and I think they’re very confident that those additions will lead them to levels that they haven’t been at for some time.” The Blue Jays have been engaged with all the top free agents in play, including George Springer, D.J. LeMahieu, J.T. Realmuto and Trevor Bauer, but have also explored options at a variety of tiers. Boras doesn’t control the market the way he did last off-season when he negotiated in excess of $1 billion in contracts, but has a handful of players on the Blue Jays radar including Bradley Jr., reliever Trevor Rosenthal and Canadian starter James Paxton. https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/agent-scott-boras-blue-jays-pursuing-group-players-bolster-roster/

Jays invite three players to Spring Training The Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to terms with outfielder Forrest Wall, and infielder's Richard Ureña, and Tyler White, the team announced on Friday. All three players agreed to Minor League deals with invites to 2021 Major League Spring Training. Ureña, 24, returns to the Blue Jays after spending the 2020 season with the Baltimore Orioles. The native of San Francisco de Macoris, Dominican Republic, batted .243 in 30 games for Toronto in 2019. Ureña originally signed with the Blue Jays as a 16-year-old in 2012 and holds a career .253 batting average over 91 Major League contests. https://www.tsn.ca/toronto-blue-jays-invite-three-players-to-spring-training-1.1566091

Even Premier Horgan doesn't even know the restrictions over Christmas and he says he wants to enforce it over Christmas B.C. premier backtracks on his own Christmas plans, illustrating the confusion over health orders "Ellie and I are planning to get together with my son and daughter-in-law," Premier John Horgan, referring to his wife, told News 1130 reporter Liza Yuzda during the traditional round of year-end interviews with media organizations. "My daughter, I have to confess ... is anxious about that because she doesn't want to break any rules, but I checked it with my buddy and he said it was OK. So that's our plan, the four of us will eat something on Christmas day and that'll be about it." In this case, Horgan's "buddy" was Health Minister Adrian Dix — but a day later, the premier changed his mind. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/horgan-christmas-family-plans-1.5848624 Funny if he didn't say anything to the public he probably wouldn't of had to backtrack, but his buddy originally said it was okay, and his buddy is health minister Dix wow.

This is a little alarming imo. Paul Alexander former health advisor to Donald Trump, who is a Canadian health researcher that's the alarming part, was pushing for herd immunity in USA to tackle the Coronavirus. He wanted children and kids to not wear masks to hopefully have herd immunity for the virus, why is this guy a Canadian Health researcher..... In August and early September 2020, Alexander sent several messages to press officers at the National Institutes of Health attempting to direct Dr. Anthony Fauci's media comments.[3] Among his demands were that Fauci should refrain from promoting the wearing of masks by children in school and COVID-19 testing of children.[3] Fauci later said that he had not received the messages and would not have been influenced by them if he had.[3] Former Trump appointee encouraged herd immunity strategy for Covid-19, internal emails reveal https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/16/politics/trump-administration-herd-immunity/index.html

Is Mars ready yet.....

I'm definitely curious in the next few days what the numbers will be, the amount of people who went shopping this last weekend was a little crazy imo. White Rock was a zoo on Saturday, New Westminster mini mall had people walking around in there with no masks on.....

Well what's the first thing they're going to do when they come here? Go straight to the grocery store or stores to stalk up for their visit here and risk possibility spreading the virus more here, and that's very alarming imo. This is why I got into an argument with a poster here about us being so proactive, when the other provinces that aren't being as proactive, but those people can just come here now, and possibly help spread it more and then we have to be even more stricter because of it maybe. I just don't agree with all provinces having different restrictions, when they're still allowing people to travel from one province to another still.

Well the ones I know of are flying in from out of Province, then obviously taking the ferry but they bought a car here already supposedly a convertible , they're so used to going to a warmer place in winter but I don't think they understand it's not that warm here either . Oh here's the kicker, they have family on the Island and will be going to their families house for Christmas.

Why would Surrey residents be wanting to do that though? Why would they want to be on public transportation when you could just stay at home why even risk it.... Actually if they made masks mandatory in B.C. in all indoor public spaces sooner then yes maybe we would be in a better position, I never understood the hold off in making masks mandatory as long as they did. Yeah hopefully it helps, but probably not, unfortunately chances are come mid January we will start seeing the huge spike in cases again, due to obviously Christmas and New Years.

I'm upset just living in the lower mainland and them doing this, but if I was living on the Island ohhh I would be even more livid.

Jose Bautista move over we have a new bat flip king

Yeah this was from a couple months ago, but that's what they were doing, as we get closer to Christmas they're going to see more people showing up though because of it.

Check my edited post

When I was watching The Morning show(Canadian version) that is based out of Toronto, they were advertising it on their show Here I just did a quick google search "Vancouver Island Snowbirds" Vancouver Island tourism firms target snowbirds amid pandemic https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/vancouver-island-tourism-firms-target-snowbirds-amid-pandemic-1.5164381

I could pull a Trump and say well there is more testing now

After speaking to a family member who lives in a different province, they were talking to these people they know who are snowbirds, who normally head to Texas for this time of year, but guess what they're heading to Vancouver Island instead, good job Vancouver Island way to lure them all there during a pandemic to make some money....

I would agree with this, that definitely would help with the increase in deaths as well, but it just seems like after dealing with this for roughly 9 months now, and removing people from ventilators or having them not use it was to prevent less deaths, just seems like they're really not curbing the deaths after infection still, which isn't good news.

That's definitely one of my biggest concerns regarding a mutated form of this virus, almost similar to a flu vaccine where sometimes the strain is different and then that flu vaccine isn't even effective for the flu, will it be similar for this virus since they're technically almost the same thing, just this virus is a stronger type of influenza.
