Anyone think a year of quarantine is reasonable?

Jr. wants us locked up for 12-18 months. Easy to say when you never had to work for a living.... this won't go over well.

Let’s see.. Oil and gas industry killed. Check. Greenhouse gas emissions meets 2030 target 10 years early. Check. Implement guaranteed minimum income. Check. Implement the Leap manifesto. Check.

Welcome to the socialist Canadian Federation.

Half of what keeps people out of jail is fear of losing freedom and rights, other half would be morals. If you only have morals left..... well they don't run real deep anymore. I don't see a guarantee it'll end at 18 months. Never thought I'd see this to be honest.

It wouldn't be sellable if they said there is no plan to lift it, the old carrot trick.

Maybe farmers and outdoor workers will be the only ones not locked up — And the Easter Bunny. 🐇

it is likely that the quarantine will last until other governments, like Newfoundland, no longer have the money to make payroll. Maduro is still somehow feeding the military in Venezuala. That is how this ends. Lots of folks admire basic dictatorship.

I for one won’t be quarantining for a day. What the Fock is it worth living if you have to hide in a cave for 18 months. If your sick weak in poor health you stay in doors let the rest of us get on with life. This imbecile has to go.

The message is "we need to keep the health care system functioning and able to care for all health concerns." I think that is true.

But likely it is obvious already that some health concerns are not being cared for, they've been delayed indefinitely. Not good either when health care eats up 5.5 billion of the budget in SK.

Authorities and governments are going to have to decide when a jurisdiction has a manageable virus scenario and have a plan ready to support and inform the population regarding relaxed restrictions.
And it sure isn't me. One thing is for sure, the population will be eager to get going again no matter what the new rules and restrictions are.

Just wondering how you get from" We will not be coming back to our former normal situation; we can’t do that until we have developed a vaccine and that could take 12 to 18 months,” to "Jr. wants us locked up for 12-18 months." That is quite a leap. I hope you never hurt yourself jumping to this conclusion.

Is it any wonder problems in agriculture are not taken seriously when farmers publicly make exaggerations and claims like this?

There are lots of steps in social distancing between quarantine and the life Canadians had before Covid-19 and to claim that Trudeau wants to lock everyone up for 12-18 months based just on context and your hatred is almost funny.

Hatred, this baby coward is going to kill this country. Yeh, I hate it!

Now there is no doubt that stating Trudeau wants to lock us up for 12-18 months is an exaggeration but there is one over bearing fact, until 40-70% of the population is exposed to the virus there is no herd immunity. As soon as we end isolation and resume any level of normal interactions there is no doubt potential that the virus will take off again. In John Iverson's words in the national post discussing what could happen if social distancing measures were all lifted:"Extrapolating the Public Health agencies own figures, that would see 1.4 million hospitalized, 460000 entering intensive care units and nearly a quarter of a million Canadians dying." So as much as I dislike Justin Trudeau and his political ideologies I do not envy his position. On one hand if you continue for next 12 months with most businesses shut down and people isolated in their homes you would risk doing unrepairable damage to the economy and government finances or you start lifting restrictions and risking the scenario John Iverson layed out above. Neither is a pretty picture.

We already have the model out on the Rez.

All the money comes from the government.

No reason to get up in the morning.

Kids don't have any reason to go to school.

Lots of slack time to fill and no where to go.

All those that thought that looked good are going to get a taste of it.

Can't end well.
