Coronavirus outbreak

Weak sauce Canada....

 

 

 

Frey worried that sitting near passengers who had visited resorts in Mexico could increase his chances of being exposed to the virus. 

"People going to an all-inclusive resort during a pandemic, that's inherently irresponsible," he said. "So it's obvious that health is not their primary concern."

 

When Canadian passengers take domestic flights during the COVID-19 pandemic, they may be sharing the cabin with international travellers on a connecting flight who have yet to quarantine. 

 

Although many travellers entering Canada must quarantine for 14 days, they don't have to start the process until reaching their final destination — as long as they have no COVID-19 symptoms. 

 

When asked about this policy, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) told CBC News that the risk of COVID-19 transmission on a plane is relatively low compared to other enclosed settings.

Well the risk on the flight itself is quite low due to heavy exchange and circulation of air with the outside environment needed to produce oxygen for the cabin. The risk is mostly in the airports in my opinion.

I read that sentiment.... but everytime i fly i end up getting sick...  so i am sceptical. 

 

The Wall Street Journal cited a study that found an increased risk of catching the cold by as high as 20 percent, while another study in the Journal of Environmental Health Research found that colds may be 113 times more likely to be transmitted on a plane than during normal daily life on the ground.Dec 23, 2019

They require masks on flights now as well as social distancing.

You can listen to his interview on 1040 last night with Rob Fai. He knew 100% when he made the decision it might affect his employment/reputation, and he doubled down on anti-science bull$&!#. 

 

 

Thanks for that.

 

I listened to the entire interview which can be found here:

 

https://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1040/donnelly-there-s-room-for-debate-on-public-policy-1.1560311

 

From the sounds of things, the Canucks didn't get in touch directly with Donnelly to let him know he would no longer be singing the anthem before the tweet.

 

And, as I said, I think that dismissing by tweet is cold.  

 

I'll also miss hearing him sing the anthem.

Promoting anti masks in a pandemic is a lot worse than cold...it is downright evil.

It's cold if he didn't do anything wrong, but he did. There's consequences for your behavior.....but some seem to think that's not a thing these days! If i run a red light (with a camera), i expect to get a ticket, but some have the nerve to fight things like that. How f'd up is that mentality!!

From the sound of things, he also understood the consequences he'd likely face and that didn't matter to him. 

 

Thing is, there was hardly time to do it any other way....likely the Canucks org wanted to disassociate from him before the event so he wouldn't use his affiliation to connect them in any way.   During that interview, he got louder and a bit more belligerent as it went on...I sense arrogance there.  It wouldn't surprise me if I learned he'd brought it to the team and when they were opposed to it, he didn't give a hoot.  Just a guess, but I can see it playing out that way.  

 

And in knowing that  Canucks COO Trent Carroll made a statement yesterday to clarify that he, by no means, represented the team I'd guess there was a conversation.  Or at least he was aware they weren't supportive....bottom line is, he likely knew it went against what the organization is about.  He owns it and I don't care if that "you're done" message was dropped on his head via drone.

I despise the spineless politicians we have so-called "leading" our country in this pandemic.
If you can't even so much as practice what you preach (banning large gatherings and following through with it) I have less than zero respect for them.
What kind of a crappy world do we live in now that, with our tax dollars, they're just paid to do PR and not actually enforce things for our city's good?
It's people and situations like these that make me want to just not give a crap about the authorities' empty words.

I'd rather watch stand-up if I wanted to hear a good joke from a joker.

It really sounds like it was a matter of time for him to be out the door anyway. This doesn't sound like it was an isolated incident for him at all.

That Trump woman is infuriating.  They all are.  I'm curious as to how many out of towners came in to spread their message/germs here.  I'd like to escort them home personally.
