Texas

In the UK, they are now shipping 2 home tests to every resident before they reopen.

The PCR home tests have been available for an entire yr. Govts could have massed shipped them to the public back then, got everyone tested and then asked anyone positive to stay home for 2 weeks. Way easier to mass produce a home test and mail it out to the public than create a vaccine from scratch and try to get that into everyone.

Pandemic would over inside of 2 months at most, economy not destroyed, intergenerational debt not needed.

God our leaders are stupid.

Texas will be an interesting experiment. Vancouver Canucks could not keep covid out with all precautions.

Can you make sense of the math comparison ?
Or was it just a bullshit fear mongering , sensationalizing post ?

How about Florida releasing 480 million gallons of toxic waste water into marine waters.

If this holding pond bursts, it will take out two other holding ponds that are even more toxic.

Hopefully it doesn't happen as the residents of Piney Point are screwed, along with the marine waters.

More BS and fear from the fake doctor Agstar.
My best friends family in Calgary discovered they tested positive for Covid. Wife and daughter only. Symptoms were sore and dry throats, and headaches. In other words, normal flu symptoms. Feeling better after a few days. But entire household under quarantine for 3 weeks.
I said thanks for adding to the scamdemic statistics. As we already know, those who have a tough time with the sniffle wuflu have underlying conditions.

Who would be so stupid as to deliberately dump waste into a river or ocean?

When faced with the possibility of illness or death from an infectious disease, the onus is on you to protect yourself. If you have medical conditions which increase your vulnerability to disease, then take whatever steps are necessary to isolate yourself from others until such time as treatments and vaccines are available. There is, however, no guarantee that this strategy will be successful. Most people cannot simply quit their job and get supplies delivered to their doorstep. Life entails risks, and it's normal to apply some sort of risk/benefit analysis to the choices facing you.

What's not a legitimate strategy is to arbitrarily divide businesses into essential and non-essential categories, thus consigning many into bankruptcy, and to place most of the population under effective house arrest. What is essential vs. non-essential is a decision that should be made between a business and its customers. The collective has no right to remove that choice from individuals and to treat the nation as one vast prison camp.

Covid policy in this country is basically moving at whatever speed the collapsing state run medical care system can move at. Medicare has been facing a demographic bulge with an aging population for years which it is utterly incapable of dealing with. You need price signals for that and they have been legislated out of existence. Covid has simply made the deficiencies in collectivized medical care glaringly obvious.

Well all I can say is that with that kind of thinking, you'd make a darn poor totalitarian marxist...

i know some of you have trouble with math so i will try to help you
pop. texas=29000000
pop saskatchewan=1170000
29000000 divided by 1170000= 24.78
Sask cases apr 5=219
219 times 24.78 =5428 per capita , almost identical
go saskatchewan ! 219 new test subjects

since you are so good at math, then please explain why texas has 48,881 covid deaths while Saskatchewan only has 440. Shouldn't Saskatchewan deaths been at least 4 times higher then? (48,881/24.78 = 1972)

Umm , no , you are changing it to suit your BS
You were talking positive cases ?
You are also not taking into account pop densities ? Definitely a factor
Compare texas to Ontario or Quebec
Quebec deaths are 33% higher than Texas
Let me know if you need anymore help

Sorry, misunderstood you. I understand now you are comparing just daily case numbers for today.

I took the figures for the entire time. And if you do that you can reach some different conclusions. For example: Sask pop 1,178,832 Texas pop 29,499.952 Confirmed cases: Sask 34,763 Texas 2,807,528
percentage of population confirmed to have had covid: Sask 2.9% Texas 9.5%
deaths: Sask 440 Texas 4881 deaths/confirmed case: Sask 1.3% Texas 1.7% So for whatever reasons be it social distancing, masks, population density, nearly 1 in 10 people got Covid in Texas compared to only 1 in 35 in Saskatchewan. And if you did get Coved there was a 1.3% chance of dying from in in Saskatchewan compared to 1.7% chance of death in Texas. And there is no way to measure ongoing health issues as a result of the 5 times more Covid cases in Texas to this point in time.

Thanks, but I prefer the lower case and lower death rates in Saskatchewan over Texas.
