We all pretty much knew the tsunami was coming our way..... As the only province in Canada with no mandatory mask policy in our major cities....... clearly we would be slammd hard with new covid infections. It is what it is. This election sealed the deal as getting votes is the biggest issue right now unfortunately. My mom is very elderly and i am focussed right now on keeping her alive.

Warhippy Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Le Chateau shutting down. 123 locations across canada citing, Covid 19 Brick and Mortar chains were already on their way out and malls have been dying since Amazon and online retail became the thing. But it's no shock that covid is killing these chains. Remarkable how many multi billions dollar operations though are closing their doors after a few months of depressed income. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/le-chateau-ccaa-1.5774108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This election sealed the deal as getting votes is the biggest issue right now unfortunately. My mom is very elderly and i am focussed right now on keeping her alive. While regular masks help, it is not at the top of the hierarchy that will keep people safe. Distancing and avoid prolonged sharing of indoor air is the critical part. Wearing a mask will not eliminate the need for this. Too many people are partying, going to restaurants and bars etc. Wearing regulars masks in those settings wont help much. people will take them off to eat and drink, wear them incorrectly (nose exposed, under the chin, excessive touching of the masks, etc). If you are concerned for your mom, consider the area she lives and movement of people, and if she is able to isolate from others then that is the best. ordering food online/delivery, safe drop offs , avoid public transits etc. Wearing a N95 masks when she is in public will help (but stay outdoors, keep 6 ft distance as much as possible, minimize prolonged sharing of indoor air), but she needs to learn how to wear it correctly and have a good fit. they are not comfortable to wear for long periods. I wear them at work but it gets pretty comfortable after 4-5 hrs. Get at least 7, mark them one for each day, and rotate them. if you can get more, that will be better. Avoid touching the outside surface when taking them off, and wash hands after handling. And if she is elderly, don't avoid regular dr visits or need to go to ER. Statistically they can still get sick from other medical conditions. Get the flu shot too. Edited October 23, 2020 by Jaimito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Italy reports record 19,143 virus cases vs 16,079 yesterday Fri 23 Oct 2020 14:59:56 GMT Italy case count continues to surge A week ago, cases were at 10,009 and a week before that at 5372 and a week before that at 2499. That's nearly 100% week-over-week growth for three weeks straight. The problem with all the healthcare advances to make COVID less-lethal is that it makes people more cavalier. In turn, more people get it and you end up with the same amount of deaths. The chart doesn't include today: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
