kingofsurrey Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) School conditions in Holland and BC - Both are going for Herd Immunity... In high schools: No social distancing between pupils Masks advised (but not worn) only in corridors not in classes No plastic barriers being used in class - only secretarys / office get them. Only notified about an infection if you sat at the same desk for longer than 15mins - so no idea who is infected or when Full classes Poor ventilation Edited October 27, 2020 by kingofsurrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful who you lump in with 'educators' as I don't know a single teacher that has 'pushed' to have kids in class, but I do know of several administrators and superintendents who have done that so it's definitely not all educators. In fact, I believe the BCTF - who are all educators - who lobbied for students NOT to resume full-time classes in the fall, they would have preferred a different model altogether. Also, it wasn't 'educators' who decided that full-time attendance would be the model when school resumed in Sept, that was done by the Provincial Health Office and the Ministry of Education - neither of which government departments are led by 'educators'. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limit social engagements to a select few and even then make the frequency low. Wear a mask in indoor places where you can't safely distance. Are people that dependent on needing someone else to interpret the guidelines for them? They are in simple English. If you aren't sure, err on the side of caution. Instead people are taking liberties and more people are catching it - surprise, surprise. I'm willing to play ball with whatever the health authorities say. I don't have blind faith though and I have my doubts on the efficacy of mask but i'm willing to try because I don't want Covid much like I don't want the regular flu either and if a mask only reduces my risk of contracting it by like 5%, i'm willing to take that 5% protection. So until there is a level of control over the spread, everyone has to get on board or it's a wasted effort. really, it's more about who you might pass it to than it is about protecting your own health. I'm sick of anti-mask people trotting about their BS disinformation to try and justify the fact they simply don't want any compromise to their lifestyle. I'd have far more respect for them if they just pulled back the veil and admitted they couldn't care less if people die because they can't uffer any inconvenience. They should just own being selfish aholes 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a massive improvement in treatments and therapeutics which have brought Covid mortality rates way down from March and April. You don't see Covid ripping through nursing homes the way it did in the spring. However, if case counts are increasing exponentially then it is reasonable to assume deaths will also rise albeit at a lower pace given the better treatments. The one big caveat is hospitals being over run. Already seeing this in a few isolated places in the states. Likely going to be a brutal winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoKnows Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I was reading up on some Hayek and he got me thinking about CERB. For starters this huge inflation in the money supply is outta do something to the CPI. It'll be interesting to see. "Once the stream of new money entering the economy stops flowing and these people no longer have this newly created money to spend, they will resume spending as they did before they got the new money." ... "Eventually, the newly created money works its way throughout the whole economy. This new money is ultimately spread out evenly across all markets. The final result is that the overall price level—that is, the average of all prices—is higher, but all individual prices relative to each other are unchanged from what they were before the new money was injected into the economy." Just some food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
