Consider This 🤨

Thank the U.S. and Canada for keeping flights coming from overseas way way to long , from China and Italy . We got it bad here in North America in general because flights were coming in from hotspots from each direction.
New Zealand 🇳🇿 did it right .
U.S. did not want to shut the air industry down
Canada did not want to offend anyone... 👎
Thus there is a shit show in North America in general .
Look at Saskatchewan numbers , biggest numbers ... in Stoon area .... busiest airport .. numbers speak for themselves there .

Down here where I live we are 1 hour from Medicine Hat AB. Brooks is 1 hour away from there. Number of cases of Covid skyrocketing, last I heard yesterday almost 800 cases in Brooks, mostly related to people working at the plant and conditions,foreign workers not going by the rules, etc. Lots of people go to Med Hat to get their goods,etc. Also two work buses leave Medicine Hat with packing plant workers every day to Brooks , and back. Now with the plant "supposedly" shut down, reduced shifts , who knows what the end result will be.

Bottom line , I fear there is going to be a real wreck on its way . Not real comfortable being an hour away. Haven't been to the city since January, and going to keep it that way , and see what happens.

Masks versus condoms....

When you engage in risky sexual activity you wear a condom, but that single time doesn't provide protection subsequent times. Same as the mask, as long as the risk is present you will need to "mask-up" if you are so inclined.

This isn't going away, do the best you can to mitigate your risk, PPE, abstinence(isolation), vaccinate if and when it's available.

Good luck everyone

I went on a parts run this morning to Tisdale then on to Melfort and it was just business as usual at all the stops i had make.

I guess there are times its good live out in the boonies.

I haven't decided what I should start with this year, maybe a little corona flu to start with, then a splash of lyme disease and finish up with some good ole west nile virus.

There will be people that say global warming is the cause of these viruses ruining our day.

I'm not in that crowd, I don't think a slight warming or cooling has anything to do with how cells evolve.

It just seems like there's more sharp things to step on than there used to be.

Pandemics have been around for centuries of human civilization, probably longer.
I think we just got better at managing them and treating the infected.
But maybe new ones are coming at us more often and we are better equipped to handle them....until the doozie comes along and blind sides us!

They say it can stay in the air for months on polluted air lol
If that’s the case China and India will be wiped out completely in a year .

The govt treats livestock Disease better than they do humans. Every country shuts do trade when an outbreak occurs in livestock. Look at swine flue

Flattening the curve may only marginally reduce total number of deaths over a steep infection curve. Health care may be able to save afew more lives teetering on deaths doorstep but the most vulnerable will probably perish regardless of where on the curve or which curve they contract it on.

Just because we hide away from other people doesn't make us immune" either!

By flattening the curve hospitals are able to give 100% health care.new treatments coming out daily so the longer we had off getting in the better it can be treated.Would you want to be the one in a hospital to choose the sick people to be treated cause not enough room for everyone?

100% health care to a single condition? Do you know what you are saying? That means thousands of people with other conditions went undiagnosed and untreated. Its a year to see a specialist now and blood work has been halted.

No hospitals in NA were overrun. But keeping beds open for patients that never materialized certainly broke the doctors code of do no harm. Our physician politicians eggheads have done irreparable harm to our overall health and well being including our means of supporting ourselves.
