Winnipeg Code Red

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.

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.

Places that follow government recommendations seem to have things under control.The problem is the events with people that do not respect rules at all.Bars in Saskatoon some churches colonies etc.These people may not be concerned for themselves but ultimately are holding back opening right up .

Like I said I flip flop and admit to it.

You’ve all seen Australia’s super harsh measures we’ve possibly had the second wave dunno. Honestly most have lost interest here as there is a semblance of normality again.

All the measures are just to placate the karens among us. We locked down, literally didnt leave our houses for 6-8 weeks in the spring. That didnt stop it. We washed, sanitized, social distanced. That didnt stop it.
We put masks on everything and everyone, that didnt stop it.

And the answer is to blame people for not locking down harder. JHC 30% of the countries population is in some sort of loan arrears, deferral, default status. Lets just put the nail in our economy for good.

Yeah see both sides jazz, I’m really not qualified to comment why I rarely do, just saying we or the govt hit us super hard bang day one, may have been correct really don’t know.

We have had 489 cases 4 deaths and currently 6 active cases.

Population 1.8 million 76% live in capital or regional cities.

Our borders airports etc all shut except essential services.

Open again in some way shape or form, except international visitors with free travel, meaning non essential.

Back to normal.

Worst affected state is getting there as well.

[sumdumguy]

If the borders were closed to all international travel like Taiwan did, we’d have been able to allow our economies to carry on like Taiwan did, but not us. International airports welcoming woth open arms, then when the fly-ins get into Canada, they are free to fly around within the country. What a plan - lock down the legitimate civilians and import the problem! That’s Trudeau’s way of handling a pandemic. IMHO

With fear of starting a bitch brawl is sask population similar to ours?

And being rural guessing your covid numbers aligned to the above mentioned in south Australia

Sask and MB both have about 1.2M people but its a huge area. That might match one of your states. Our big outbreaks are in Toronto with 5M people.

If you don’t have the first wave how can you have a second wave... if you have two small waves is there a third and fourth or is it continual waves? If you can not build herd immunity then can a vaccine be developed that will really work?

We have to move on with life... who can blame the youth for heading to bar or dancing or trying to meet a girl who is not with in their household.

Anyone who wants can isolate themselves from everyone and world if they want - go ahead it’s your choice. If that’s what you need to do to feel safe it’s your choice. Might have to quit your job; spend your retirement savings... Problem solved all those are now safe...

The rest of the population we now have to take our chances - maybe some will head to a concert; others may say nope too risky for me I am going go out for a meal instead. Or maybe some say I am keeping to max 6 people household.

Maybe some want to go to Walmart others feel better shopping locally.

Wear a mask; wear a scuba suit whatever you want who cares...

If things get worse more people may decide I am going to isolate... once again their choice.

Freedom means risk assessment and individuals choice.
