I.Am.Ironman Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 33 minutes ago, DonLever said: Perhaps numbers are lower in BC because not enough people are being tested. Other doctors and people have complained on TV they were not tested for COVID19 even though they had all the symptoms of covid19. And these people are sent home to self quarantine and infecting other family members. There are a finite amount of tests. It is my understanding that some health authorities aren't testing if they are confident in the diagnosis and thus saving a test for another case to confirm or rule out a diagnosis, furthermore they are probably not testing the majority of people who show 'mild' symptoms. I have heard of people being picked up by ambulance and requiring the ventilator on the ambulance until they can transfer them straight to a ventilator in the hospital, but they won't use a test on that person. Just through the grapevine so take that for what it is worth but it seems that the general consensus is that our reported numbers aren't a true representation of the total number of cases as they can only report positive tests. Less tests = less confirmed cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is a wingnut for sure, saying crazy things but every western country did squat until the WHO declared COVID19 a pandemic. Canada was slow to react as people continued to stream into Canada without checks until a couple of weeks ago. Too late, the horse had left the barn as they say. When you have megalomaniac ego like this guy and you take credit for absolutely everything. You have to be accountable when things go bad, say that you were wrong and accept responsibility. But this man have never taken responsibility for anything in his life, it’s always someone else’s fault. Humility is not in his vocabulary so imo he deserves to get $&!# on more than Trudeau for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a conman but at least he puts some effort into his craft, he also earns high marks for coherence and really getting into character.

Which, incidentally, is pretty close to what people making minimum wage (at least in BC) and normally working 37.5-40 hrs/week make. What's the problem? I guess. I didn't realize a pleb wage was that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCP is vastly under reporting the number of people who died over there. It's even plausible they executed some of their own citizens to contain the virus.

Those in that industry are in tough. They already have a base min wage worst than the standard due to their receiving income from tips... not so many tips these days.

Yes that is why I have always been torn...are they like strippers or beggars. Sorry but I just can’t get comfortable with tipping. It is not fair to the servers or the customers. Just be up front and charge the true price of doing business. Edited April 1, 2020 by spur1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gov not giving those workers regular min wage is very lame. There is quite a difference in tips when working at Denny's vs working at a hip pub etc. .
