I want to see more information being put into and out of the temples and Punjabi tv shows/news channels. The South Asian community is a good and responsive community but it needs the focus of the govt and it’s own internal messaging to get the word out about the provincial health guidelines. If not, then hit them in the wallet, hard. That might just get some of them to take more notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilac Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Watched Jay and Trudi Inslee’s news conference. Further restrictions may come next week. Jay brought up to quarantine starting today for Washingtonians having Thanksgiving with family outside the home. Him and Trudi are having a virtual Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving and Christmas are cancelled in my family. I think my parents are making pizza for Thanksgiving. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I could see new cases per day continue to rise for the next little while since it will mark two weeks or so since Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 As COVID-19 cases surge, experts urge South Asians to stay home this Diwali ... It’s a sentiment echoed by B.C.’s Henry, who has hosted numerous teleconferences with ethnic media groups in Vancouver to share information and answer questions on the virus specific to the South Asian community. “It’s not in any way to blame the [South Asian] community,” she said. “Now we need to take measures to protect the community because it is being transmitted in the South Asian community moreso than we’re seeing in others right now.” https://www.omnitv.ca/on/en/as-covid-19-cases-surge-experts-urge-south-asians-to-stay-home-this-diwali/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyJoeJoeJr. Shabadoo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If, or most likely when, we go back on lockdown be sure to remind anybody that complains that they can't go out anymore of the statement below. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the issue would probably be more the teens/twenty somethings partying in close proximity to eachother than people who were abundantly distant and overwhelmingly masked while trick or treating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't see getting Kitkats from various strangers homes as essential during a viral pandemic crisis. Justify the activity however you want though. Just hoping we can still meet as a family ( various households ) for this xmas...... I think i read in Quebec it may be only 2 households meeting at a time max for xmas. That is terrible. Really hoping we can stablize the covid so we can have a xmas event with our families. 2020 sucks.

Ghostsof1915 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 So Cypress Mountain opens today. Grouse will soon too. Apparently they will be asking folks to wear a mask, pre-booking sky rides. Social distancing. And cleaning throughout the resorts. They will be checking up on staff as well. Whistler will be opening Dec 8th. Mandatory masks, physical distancing, reservations, and cashless transactions. Only 2 people on a four person lift. (On opposite ends) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckster19 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 We need to mark 2039 in our calendars, I wonder if the NHL draft class that year will be especially thin, are there any reports if the pregnancy rate has gone up or down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read that the birth rate is going down. I would have thought it would go up with everyone stuck indoors but the reduction of care and unsure future may be causing some couples to wait? Speaking of reduction in care, apparently stillborn rates are increasing worldwide during the pandemic due to women not getting as much health care support.
