I have a brother who lives in Nanoose bay, I have never been there but heard it is a great place Thank you. And thank you all CDC for the kind words. Nanoose Bay is a slice of heaven. I am very lucky to be here. Just a note, my family and friends that have experienced this loss and illness reside in England, not here in BC. As you all know England is up against the ropes fighting this crap. I am very worried about Jack my mum's brother in law. He's an amazing man. Let's keep up the good work here in BC.

I always felt Canada needs to bring back manufacturing. This is a step in the right direction. 3M needs to make a plant in Canada now, hope the government pushes for it. And why not? We are shipping pulp down to them, it would be litterally way closer to have a plant in the lowermainland/ fraser valley and then you don't have to rely on other countries in the future for masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To date the death rate has not exceeded the normal death rate during a regular flu season. The question might be whether it would be worse if these extraordinary precautions hadn't been taken? You would have to think so. that is a nasty unintended consequence of distancing ? that we have avoided normal death rates from the regular flu ? and so have stressed world population numbers ? darn i'm feeling i should be upset that more people then usual made it through flu season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have no qualifications. i guess that’s why I made my statement and then supported said statement with countless scientific references and direct quotes made by those who are qualified. so I’ll just assume you haven’t bothered to read any of it. do you even read? if you don’t I have also posted a video with Dr. bahkdi. I’d say he is qualified. i am curious why you keep repeating this thinly supported view point you have not responded to a previous post i made about this as i suspect you cannot please explain the current success in bc of managing the virus infection spread the bc strategy is noteworthy since few other countries are in the same range of success how do you account for this ? they have based their strategy on science the whole spectrum of reliable science relevant to this issue not the cherry picking approach you engage in Edited April 5, 2020 by coastal.view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a limitation between nothing and something. The worst thing about you posting your cute blog posts is that you seem to not be intelligent enough to understand them. You pick on a word? One word? That’s it? chill out DBTR. How many times do I have to say the words: inconclusive, unsubstantial, incomplete, diluted, before you see them? so much more anger in here than I expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it's a bit of a false representation as it's only within a group being tested...and most are not being tested. So "confirmed cases" only goes as far as a limited number having access to a test. That the massive number of people walking around with it is scary and should be considered. No celebrating or letting up...but a 29 new cases won't deter those who are looking for excuses to let the guard down. this reporting cycle was less then 24 hours and noteworthy as well that all 3 hours missing from the 24 hour cycle were critical 3 business hours... i'd suspect many places process and report the previous day's data the morning after so when the update takes place at noon that really shortens up the time available to get that data out early enough so it can be included in time for the update so i just accept that number is low for valid reasons that really have little to do with flattening the curve (kinda how WHO regularly appears to manage better daily numbers by stopping the 24 hour clock earlier on days recently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a ridiculous question imo. sorry. so you are going to just insist on sticking to your narrative based on your opinion with limited critical thinking do you know how experts earn that title by mastering the entire field of their expertise and subjecting their views to peer review which hones the body of knowledge in a given area posting views of a so called expert you have found online as being definitive in your view of what is most important in a field of knoweledge is silly as you have no way of knowing if these views have been tested at all but you are content to uncritically just adopt these cherry picked tidbits you find online and then stand firmly behind them knowing no one on here has the expertise to adequately contextualize this information or knowledgeably critique them i warned against doing this a couple of weeks or more ago almost no one on here is capable of knowledgeably assessing information about this virus online in a sufficient manner to refute what local authorities are telling us it is important to select and remain informed from a few reliable sources i accept that our local authorities are experts are knowledgeable about the entire field in which they have expertise and as part of their professional requirements continually review emerging theories and other relevant information in their field if some online has valuable information our experts would have reviewed it and incorporated it it is foolish to somewhat randomly pick online sources and then stand behind them on the basis that they hold out some sort of :"truth" you are randomly guessing this is the case, you do not really know i think it is an unwise approach to use information in this fashion during a time of crisis trump regularly does this and he gains no respect for doing so Edited April 5, 2020 by coastal.view 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Doing everything to protect Canadians"? It seems not if this is true. I don’t think it’s necessarily as black and white as this. Perhaps someone else is bending the rules or cheating the system. The Government is there to increasingly but incrementally close down and enforce. It cannot just $&!# down on a dime. But this should be reported and taken seriously.

King Heffy Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Disappointed in Trudeau for not responding to Trump's crimes against humanity. Usually I'd agree that negotiating is the better solution,but Trudeau's already gotten heat for negotiating with terrorists. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zapperman Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 @riffraff I just want to mention for the record, I appreciate you posting a lot of this information. I’m no contrarian and god knows there are millions more knowledgeable than I am on this subject. But, I always appreciate hearing opinions and facts from all angles. I have taught my kids to question everything and not accept everything you hear or read, unequivocally, no matter the source. I just have to think back to when my kids were born - kid 1, all experts indicated babies must sleep on their stomachs. Kid 2 - no sleeping on stomachs they said, must be on their backs... kid 3 - said experts now say sleeping on the side is the way to go. Things change, data is collected, opinions and methods change. I suspect this will not be that different. We are all learning and the experts are doing what the think is right given the info they have. I have no doubt we will beat this, and that it is going to be an ever changing road. But we’ll get there. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The narrative must be turned toward the “me”. If I sneeze, the winds I create projectiles “aerosol” up to 20 feet and it lasts for hours on our plastic world. Everyone breathing gets infected and everyone touching things is at risk. So if EVERYONE wears a mask, then the risk of spread closes down to almost 0% chance. Then you can open the country and run around. But if one person not wearing a mask coughs amongst people, the chances drastically goes up for everyone and a new line of Covid-19 develops. Basically it’s not that “YOU” may be sick. It’s that “I” may be sick. If taken that way, you wear a mask in public because you know you’re now going to infect others. A new instinctual, cultural thought ought to develop: ”Rumour of pandemic? Wear a mask.” But western society abandon the stigmas of mask-wearing folks? We must.
