Still no deaths to anyone who is 40 or younger. Edited May 28, 2020 by EdgarM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is Macron getting a little dig in at Bone Spurs.... Anthony Fauci said that he thinks a ban is a bit excessive, but it's clear that it doesn't have any efficacy on Covid19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what gets lost in a lot of this is that much of the population is "generalized" and grouped into one or the other of some sort. If a young person who has no persons that they associate with who is in a "risk group", why could they not try to live their life with some sort of normalcy? If they want to go to a beach, work or WHY. I can't see how someone would endanger their grandparents or their parents lives by going to a party and then go visit them. I have an elderly relative who I would not think about visiting until I can be sure I will not endanger his health. But does that mean I cannot socially distance visit other friends or relatives? Everyone's circumstance is different and this should be looked at before passing judgments on someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Playgrounds opening next week. Asking toddlers to respect 6 feet rule.... Has our government totally lost the plot ? Asking small kids to keep washing their hands.... etc.... wow - have these people ever had kids ? Using playgrounds and outdoor facilities Municipalities are asking everyone who wants to use the playgrounds and outdoor facilities to maintain two metres distance from others not in your household, to wash and sanitize your hands frequently, disinfect personal equipment before and after use, do not share equipment and to stay home if you are sick.

Everyone's circumstance is different and this should be looked at before passing judgments on someone. Everyone's circumstances are different, I agree. I was making a comment about the article you posted. That 'group' in T.O. was criticised for not doing as you suggest, social distancing. 'Last weekend, a bunch of youngsters in Toronto took to a local park in large numbers. The photos and video from the scene made it appear nobody present cared a jot about social distancing.' What is 'WHY'? ('If they want to go to a beach, work or WHY') 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's circumstance is different and this should be looked at before passing judgments on someone. Because the asymptomatic 20 year old who never goes to see his parents or grand parents or any family for that matter, goes to see his friend who does see his parents but not really his grand parents but his parents definitely do see their parents (his grand parents). So in effect, the unawareness, nonchalance or lack of care by that young 20 year old, may be killing his friend’s grandparents. Maybe ask that friend if he agrees to sign up their parents and grand parents to get exposed to possible serious sickness and even death.

All of the cases are linked to a medical professional in his 50s from the Campbellton Regional Hospital who contracted the coronavirus outside the province. This person, who travelled to Quebec for personal reasons, "was not forthcoming about their reasons for travel upon returning to New Brunswick and they did not self-isolate as a result," Premier Blaine Higgs said on Wednesday. After his trip, the man saw patients for two weeks at the Campbellton hospital and possibly other locations, forcing Higgs to order that region back into the orange phase of recovery. ****** Yikes!!! What an idiot doctor. Probably thought Covid-19 was a hoax and didn't take necessary precautions. Guess what...he's the vector that spread the virus to NB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issues with it, but there's a very vocal contingent of the public that think we're paying too much as it is. Teachers have been trying for 20 years to reduce class sizes, and no government has given them the money or tools to accomplish this. It would have to be rounded to a nickel anyways. We don't have pennies. I haven't been to a Tim's in well over a year. I agree that we should be protecting both kids and teachers. There are others that would lose it, if we had to raise taxes. That's all I'm saying. Taxes are going up, way up to pay for all this government support people are getting because of covid. I'm not complaining, but just pointing out that these billions of dollars in support wasn't just sitting there waiting for a crisis to come along to be used up. We're borrowing from our future selves. Edited May 28, 2020 by Fan since 82 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
