They want to close all except Walmart and Costco.
The 2 largest gatherings of people.
2 largest stores that probably never get cleaned properly.

Winnipeg Hospitals are under a lot of pressure with many people already in the ICU. So when people need a bed and there aren’t enough beds and healthy health care staff are some of the usual suspects going to keep telling us there is no crisis and nothing to worry about? Maybe they should volunteer at the hospitals to help out and see if they change there point of view?

Any Hutterite Colonies left in the country?

Viruses will do what viruses have always done. Everybody thinks that flattening the curve eliminates the virus. It does not. At best, it temporarily interrupts the transmission lines. Then infection rates go down for a while. Once the restrictions are eased or the weather gets cold and people are forced indoors, infection rates go up.

Nothing short of a permanent lockdown will stop the transmission. And there will be no economy left within a year.

My guess is that most of the restaurants now closed will never reopen. Then defaults will start in the companies that own the buildings that these restaurants are leasing. This may take down a bank or two in the process.

Inevitably this will impact everybody's retirement funds as many of these are invested in the companies that own the buildings.

No silver bullet here folks.

Sweden.

Sweden is the alternative that almost no one wants to explore. But after a few more months of this, maybe enough public pressure will mount.

Sweden.

Infection rates spiking in Sweden. Taiwan has zero cases with only masking and distancing. So it can be done if the population buys in.

I flip flop on covid and herd immunity though initially bad idea, then good now I struggle with it again
Striving for herd immunity is neither ethical nor otherwise justifiable somehow it’s possible if you can protect those over say 65.

Sweden has a place in my heart, I kid you not I walked a young lady down the aisle there. Gotland to be exact so I followxswedish affairs with interest.

Population Gotland around 60,000 400 cases stuff all deaths.

The consequences of a failed herd mentality would be horrendous . Not proven how long antibodies protect you from covid 19.
