Forage Farmer...

Someone can decide to drive a car into a crowd of people... that is an ongoing risk everyday; we best lockdown the entire country.

You can not stop people from doing stupid things.

I assume the individual was screened and either lied or wasn’t aware of they were a risk to the doctors. I hope it was the latter but not naive enough to assume that was the case... I don’t know anything about the situation but do believe most people try to do the reasonable and right thing... but remember there is always one bad apple in the bunch.

So yes I will stick to my “BS” view on life - served me well this long...

Natural selection. Every other species in nature goes through this why should humans be different. Deaths are sad but a fact of life. This is nature’s way of thinning the herd. If covids get me or someone close to me it would suck but so be it. I don’t think my life is more important than the overall well being of society. Killing the economy and becoming dependent on government can’t be the answer.

Bowerpower - exactly; based on the idea of natural selection I try to make choices to avoid being unnecessarily exposed to the virus. But I have to function and get my work done...

Would I fly out to Vegas today - nope not necessary and not worth the risk.

If I had to make a parts run to the USA to get a piece of equipment running to harvest - you bet I am going....

The virus is real but life must go on... I had my youthful days, let the young have theirs.

If I had elderly parents in a home; and I deemed it a risk and I was in a position to move them to our home - I would. If I felt they were in the best place for them then they would stay where they were...

Would I knowingly expose someone to Covid if I knew I had it.... not a chance.

People have to make choices not government or these self proclaimed experts.

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

My relatives tell me that life on the Canadian prairies would be similar to the Western Australia territory.

Lockdown or not the damage is done. It ain't ever going to be the same again. Once the covid pogey dries up you can bet there will not be a lockdown. Survival will be on everybody's mind then. How much time is there left to prep before a currency crisis is what is relevant today.

So when hospitals become over run with covid, which is on it's way this winter what happens to all other people who need elected surgery, suffer heart attacks, or has a serious farm or car accident.

Medical experts are all saying we need to get covid under control, last I heard being a farmer doesn't make you a medical expert as well, nor have I heard medical experts telling me when to seed and harvest my crop.

[TSIPP]

Well we listened to the experts and where did that get us?
Usually the experts are the problem, common sense always wins!
