5Fivehole0 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 My favourite part is Horgan saying this is all on folks 20-39 years old, as if we haven’t done our part for over a year (as well as being those on the frontlines), while he’s sat around pandering to businesses and industry instead of dealing with this properly over a year ago. Feck him. This is on them. The continued spread of the virus and the mental health crisis (which was already bad before the pandemic). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor could you just wrap a shirt around your face. Covid is real. The people ordering mandates are whats fake. What's fake are the morons who think they know more than the people actually trained to fight infectious disease. 1 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that was a dumb move, but I don't think he was blaming so much as pleading with them to do better as they're the last group to get vaccinated and the p1 variant is hitting that age group hard. I agree he did not come off well there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why it is important for everyone to ware one. It is still a must that you maintain the social distancing. N-95 is far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of those things where it is better safe than sorry. Also, in asia where mask wearing is prevalent to begin with and was ordered from the beginning shows significantly less covid cases and deaths compared to western nation where mask wearing became a political statement. Empirical science had already proven mask effectiveness slowing the spread of viruses. Also, the start where WHO and CDC says mask don't work was to prevent you and I from buying up all the mask supplies. That was the stupidest decision all the health officials made. They flat out lied to the public instead doing the right thing and just state the truth. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I’ve learnt in science would suggest so. No. A mask will significantly lower the velocity of the air coming out of the mask so whatever virus do get through will pretty much just hover infront of you instead projecting itself 6 feet out. So unless someone is like kissing you, the chance of them catching the virus is exponentially lower and what they do catch is low enough to not cause severe symptoms as their viral load is greatly reduced. The mask greatest affect is lowering the viral load should one catch it. So instead of needing to be on a ventilator and suffering from long term adverse health problems, you will just get stuck in bed for a day or two. Also, having a filter is still better than nothing at all cause once again, reduce your viral load. TLDR: Just wear a mask, it cost you nothing of significance and it is better safe than sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People in BC seem to have a higher tolerance for NDP mistakes, particularly around healthcare, and we just don't nee the extra anger and outrage that would be going on if this was under Wilkinson.

That said, I don't know many teachers who would ever vote Lin in this province, and I think the NDP know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try telling a conservative that the NDP in BC has had more balanced budgets I don't blame Horgan for all of it by any means, no one is going to get this 100% right. But I really am glad the Lib's aren't in because the extra anger would just put people over the top and not be good for any of us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm getting across is the complete failure of our leadership. I voted ndp in provincial and federal elections, and I feel let down. I also know that some of these mandates, such as glory holes and no showering after hockey are stupid. Stop parroting.

Covid-19 is a variant of the coronavirus, which has been around for a long time. We also know that the full recovery rate is around 99% with no permanent damage so long as you were treated in a timely fashion. There are obviously cases where people react more severely, as documented with Zibanajed and Khamzat Chimeav It's been over a year since infection for me and I struggle every day. I'm unable to do many of the things I was able to do pre-infection and I'm not really getting any better and I know many people in the same boat. Prior to infection I was a healthy, active, athletic person. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
