I’ve seen it alleged that many people end up with heart and lung problems but am unable to find verifiable data. Hope you can provide a link. Thanks in advance Well I just got a response: Hi xxxx, This information is not currently collected by the BCCDC. I have to admit, this shocks me, and worries me greatly. Probably because it's still early to see what the long term effects are. Seems to be all over the map. Strokes, lung damage, lack of taste/smell, even heart issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Numerous studies show that wearing masks is effective against cutting the spread of COVID, Even Dr. Fauci is recommending mandatory mask wearing. But Dr, Henry and Dr. Tam insists on no mandatory mask wearing. I don't really get it. Especially with COVID cases now rising it only makes sense for mandatory mask wearing. Especially in schools with so many people in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posibly both. Edited October 30, 2020 by kingofsurrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad alice french Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 253 deaths in 42 weeks in a province of over 5 million people. Close to 90% of which were over 80 years old. 11,800 cases reported/10,100 recovered and out of isolation. I interpret these statistics with optimism. What am I missing? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are primarily missing 253 deaths... ... Close to 300 BC families have lost a loved one forever..... and 11,800 cases that may or may not have long term health effects for the rest of their lives. Other that that you are bang on though.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPA Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 On the radio, says about 200 more cases and 1 death. 75% of the cases are in the Surrey region (Surrey, White Rock, Langley). The 1 death was an 80yr grandma who attended a birthday party. Apparently, one of the them was asymptomatic. Unknowingly passed it to the grandma. So sad. Also the PM mentioned something like Xmas is cancelled if numbers don't go down. Guessing that means flights between Provinces will be cancelled.

The real issue is the over dose crisis in this province. A lot more pain and suffering but since most of the people are considered homeless people turn a blind eye.

He just has to quarantine for 14 days in between countries. So, toys will arrive, but it may take a few years to get here 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said "large gatherings" are "up in the air". Meaning that having the entire clan congregate at one house might be problematic, especially if several family members have to travel. I don't think the PM has the power to "cancel" Christmas.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have your party at a school - 3500 of your closest family/friends are welcome to attend and you don't have to follow any measures whatsoever.

Either way it's far too higher and Italy is likely to be introducing harsher measures soon.

We're about to have a showdown between the man made construct known as the economy and market vs basic rights to life. This should be very interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
