It's like the electrons in computer networks don't work over weekends. I can pay on a credit card on Friday, instantly the money comes out of my account. It doesn't show up on the credit card website until about Wednesday of the following week. Who is doing what with my money for those 5 days!!???

It's pretty scary stuff. Anyone not taking this seriously needs to wake up. For sure. The only question for me is - what does it mean to take it seriously? For me it is not only wear masks and washing hands as often as possible. All these just pospone the moment when the virus gets to everybody. The Covid situation give humanity a chance to switch to the healthy life style. Since we will have to live with virus for a long time this is our only chance.So, excersise, eat healthy food, spend as much as possibble time outside, fight depression, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ghostsof1915 Posted October 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 So met my Brother and his wife this morning. Had scones. I brought my own coffee. Went out for a walk joined by my sister and her husband. Social distance walking (pretty much a straight line with 2 meter gaps). Stopped at a small park, chatted for a little bit. In basically a circle lol. Walked by my sisters place and she gave me a slice of pumpkin pie with whipped cream to go. It was great seeing as much of my family as we can safely manage. That's Thanksgiving. But that pumpkin pie. I think my sister should get sainthood for that alone. Happy Safe and Healthy Thanksgiving CDC. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be alot of work for government to release covid number each day of the week. Every other province does it that way. Seems like it would be easier for average BCers to understand daily transmission trends if it was once per day / 7 days a week. Every province in Canada except BC seems to agree with me....

Come Monday (or Tuesday this week) we will just see what the weekend was like and go from there. Getting it daily doesn't change much, you can still figure it out and more people are probably less likely to pay attention to this stuff on a weekend anyways as they don't have radios on or have news on the TV, etc. Only reason I ever know what the numbers are is because Sekeres and Price go over it every day at 3 when I am headed home so thats when I hear any numbers, I would be completely clueless on the weekends if they did it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its sad that you're judging the effort as bad based on your need for constant informant not being fed. What would you do differently King if you got numbers on Saturday vs Monday? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could put out weekly numbers and get the same results, if it was every saturday-friday and numbers came out Fridays then we would all know them going into the weekend and that number would look much bigger. Why does daily numbers matter so much to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does daily numbers matter so much to you? Some might think that it's trying to find anything to pick holes in and whinge about. Facts are that we are doing so much better at the moment than some other provinces, we have a steady hand at the tiller and a plan to move forward. It may not be a plan that everyone agrees with, but right now the plan is providing a safe environment for people to live work and be educated. For sure schools right now are challenging, but the risks of not opening were too great. For many kids schools are a safe haven and that can't be ignored. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
