To wash their hands and cover their mouths. To spend quality time outdoors and with family. To not push and shove in line ups...to allow for breathing room. larger scale stuff as well, we've seen huge gains in vaccine development, and we should be better prepared when this kind of thing happens again. We may also see things like a universal basic income gain a lot more traction too. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting tired of all the organizations asking for money to "tide them over", "bail them out" etc. To me it seems that the new normal may reflect that the economy has contracted and not every business/organization is viable. Where is all the bailout money supposed to come from? Just to name a few, CFL, PNE, Aquarium....everyone wants grants, loans, deferrals. I hope the CFL, Aquarium and the PNE all do in fact get grants and loans and deferals. All 3 employ many workers are a very important part of our history and need to be preserved. Not sure why you would be opposed to it. Edited September 2, 2020 by kingofsurrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it from an old guy...there is no going back. Only constant is death, taxes and change. And the more things change the more they stay the same. The black death pandemic proved we will go back to normal. It will take time, but we will get there. That plague was even more devastating than this covid. And we have better tech today.

bishopshodan Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Used to train at this gyms some years ago. Potential coronavirus exposure reported at Vancouver MMA studio https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/lions-mma-potential-coronavirus-exposure-september-2020 I understand weight lifting gyms being open with limits. I don't know how you can control contact in a downstairs, no windows, mma gym where most of the activity traditionally is touching each other. How do you social distance spar or roll? I know that's not every thing you do when training but even hitting the mitts or kick bags is close quarters. At most you could do solo exercises and technique training. I'd love to see their protocols. This gym is DT south, really close to the West End where there have been numerous covid reports at other businesses.

Luckily we have a good tracking system in place and it seems to be mostly younger people and we're not seeing the hospitals over run.

Drinking alcohol can protect you from the coronavirus Unlike 5G networks, alcohol does have an effect on Covid-19: It raises your risk. “Alcohol use, especially heavy use, weakens the immune system and thus reduces the ability to cope with infectious diseases,” the World Health Organization states. And for the record, drinking alcohol-based hand sanitizer won’t help, either. In fact it could kill you straight away, as it has a few folks already." Fuuuuuugde...... this was my opportunity to have an excuse to drink more! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This story, article, opinion piece if you want to call it is from a site that allows anyone to publish on it. It makes its money from getting writers to pay for editing services and paying to have their their work promoted - 'partner program'. Widely 'hit' articles can get you paid if you are a writer who is in the partner program - that means the writer has to pay to join! The author refers to himself as an 'explainer of things' and has a background in journalism. In explaining masks he says 'yeah' science tells us they work and the offers two links to articles that are supposed to support the view. Both are from this site and one is his - see point about how you make money on the site. These types of 'businesses' will publish anything as long as it 'looks' okay. They do not fact check. Fake news refers to a deliberate attempt to mislead people for a political agenda. This isn't it. But it isn't a credible source of information and many Covidiots as you call them would at least figure that out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
