I'd ask them to show me the studies that prove it won't transmit in that way. afaik the virus will survive for hours on surfaces. I'm not in favour of schools starting at this time, seems the higher up admin folk need more time to get up to speed on this virus. I don't doubt there are going to be mistakes, as the powers that be have already said it will be a dry run or primer on how to cope next year. To me this admits they don't know if they are doing the right thing and are just "trying it to see what happens". Unacceptable. The only reason I posted anything is because someone attributed a statement to Dr. Henry and Horgan, but they seem unable to find a quote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

President Trump Announces That U.S. Will Leave WHO Meanwhile the entire country is protesting/rioting... Minneapolis, Columbus, Chicago, Washington(The White House was locked down today), Denver, Kentucky, Phoenix. I’m probably missing some but it’s getting pretty crazy down there. Horrible response to a pandemic and just corrupt leadership/police force. Sad to see but unsurprising that there is civil unrest.

Quebec - 20 teachers and 20 kids infected since their return. If the BC decision cost seniors lives.... it will be on Dr. Bonnie and on Horgan. No PPE for kids and teachers seems criminal to many of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 One of my fav tweets of the day... Curious George @impishchimp 41m “How did we become a province that experiments with our children’s safety while the rest of the country (outside Quebec) has more cautiously deemed that it’s not worth the risk?“ https://vancouversun.com/opinion/danielle-zagar-return-to-school-june-1-holds-potential-for-disaster-whats-the-actual-impetus-for-the-rush… #bced #bcpoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shots like this really make me worry and then I think, maybe that's not really that many people.... But look, despite our transgressions, remember shots of Victoria Day weekend at Kits Beach, BC is still doing very well 14 days after going into so called Stage 2. Overall, we have done very well. It makes me like our chances vs the 2nd wave. On the other hand, I worry about Quebec, Ontario and all 50 states. We may be fine here but economically, we have a lot to be concerned about wrt our recovery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
