You don't have to lock down the entire economy to reduce the spread and lessen the burden on the healthcare system.

Many of the deaths in long term care occurred because of very low standards and little enforcement.

4 seniors to a room? Workers travelling from facility to facility to get enough hours? For profit senior care which is prone to cutting corners to make more profit? This is a dysfunctional cruel system that warehouse the elderly. We should be ashamed of allowing this to happen in this country!

Many workers can work from home. Many parts of the economy are doing okay. But if the pandemic runs out of control this winter and the healthcare system goes into crisis with a shortage of beds and staff, then you can be sure there will be many people not working and not spending because they are scared. or sick.

Wearing a mask has become political? Why? Wearing a mask to protect others and yourself is common sense and will reduce infections. If this is a problem for 99% of the people who can easily wear a mask then we are in big trouble.

This is not about individual rights unless you think you are the only one on the planet who matters.

Govt senior care makes mistakes too.
Govt is as poor a watchdog as it is a manager.

I count $500B spent by fing idiot Trudeau. Any hospitals on that list? Any senior care facilities? Any support programs developed to assist people in long term care?

Nope zero, just a bunch of idiotic programs like paying foreign students to fly home.

That can be true. But we can fix problems in both the public and private systems if we want to.

Ontario and Quebec have a lot more for profit private health care for seniors. The results from the spring speak for themselves.

Australia does a better job of long term senior care. I think they have national standards. Healthcare is primarily the responsibility of the provinces and premiers. So the biggest part of any problems rest with them. The feds are talking about national standards for senior care but some provinces are not interested.

Did anyone ask why Trudeau wasted $200,000,000 on a Mofia run casino instead of seniors homes in Quebec ... not a word ...
or the hundreds of millions he has given away to his other pet projects instead of helping those seniors who helped build this country ?? Nope
BTW I agree on the seniors homes but completely baffled why the media and other political parties have not been not all over Trudeau other than Pierre. In fact the NDP leader rewards Trudeau by basically jumping into bed with him .... not surprising though

A doctor of some kind , was on cnn
Repeating the comments of
Famous infectious disease Dr.
That those looking for herd immunity.
Are dreaming, Polio ravaged the earth
For 4,000 years and herd immunity never
Happened. A vaccine was the only answer.
I guess we just have to assume
The man knows what he is talking about.
But no some would rather rely on
The words of a stable genius , the 15 will
Be zero guy. The bleach guy, the hydroxy cloraquin cure

Sawfly, you do know the polio vaccine took almost 20 yrs to develop. Vaccines these days take 10 yrs.

What do you think is going to happen here if we have to wait that long for one? Or if somehow they get one fast tracked and its only 30% effective. Do you have any idea how long it will take to vaccinate the world? Do you know it takes a vaccine 3 weeks to a month to become effective in your body.

A vaccine also relies on a decently strong immune system to work. How are the immune systems of all those 85 yr olds this is supposed to save.

Herd immunity is underway whether you or cnn like it or not.

Trump was right to chase a the****utic before a vaccine. Thats the only way this gets blunted. It will never be stopped.
