A Coronavirus Hell of Kenney’s Own Making

[Blaithin]

Not to make the article sound less like an apocalypse serenade but pretty sure there was only one day of over 2400 cases (2433). All other days hover at and below 2000.

Still high, sure. But can’t say such use of misleading linguistics in the article makes him sound like he’s an unbiased sort of informative reporter.

If you can’t make 2000 daily cases sound sensational enough.... might as well make it sound like we have more?

Masks BS-social distancing -BS-locking yourself away from others BS. The truth is out there if you look for it. The truth coming from the government???? That’s the biggest conspiracy theory out there

There’s plenty of Doctors calling the BS in all this. Geert Vanden Bossche- knows more about vaccines than almost anyone says this vaccine leaves your immune system open to almost anything after COVID-ie variants that mutate within 12 hours.

So sick of all this BS. Thank God I’m on the farm instead of the city right now. Need to go seeding and quit thinking about all this BS!!!

PS BS chuck

I’m curious; what makes the doctors saying it’s BS correct and the doctors saying it’s a concern incorrect.

Opinion? Belief? Personality?

They all have information backing them up. If one personality is still prone to concern it’s hardly the place of those who are not concerned to tell them to suck it up.

I could get kicked in the crotch and be barely phased. Doesn’t mean I’m going to tell a man to suck it up if he gets kicked there. Of course all I have to go on is their word that it’s painful.... after all they could just be acting. It’s probably really just a conspiracy to gain sympathy.

This is the crutch of the pandemic argument, and the world today really. That how one person feels about it should trump how another person feels about it. (Can I use the word trump in a sentence now without causing chaos?)

True Fact : If Rachel Knothead was at the wheel , Alberta would not be any better off.

But the members of Agriville would be much better off, since we wouldn't have to endure Chuck's cut and pastes, as he irrationally politicizes a virus.

Most front line people I talk to or hear 2nd hand info say it’s overblown. Regardless you’ll always have differing opinions.

Sure, it's pretty easy to say a year and a half in that it's overblown.

From the get go though, they were playing it safe. Which isn't a bad thing per say. If it had turned into a serious virus and they hadn't.... really it's hard to imagine.

The struggle now is to back out of the initial reaction and say it erred on the side of caution. Governments aren't good at altering their approach. They're committed to how they start most of the time, and the only thing that changes their course is an election.

JT will survive this because he hid in the cottage and said nothing of substance.
Kenney will be hurt because he played to his base of support and is getting buried by the unions, ATA, health care self interests and the ndp.
I know someone in icu from this.
Not sure how it could have been done differently. Easy to arm chair quarterback after the whistle.
Full six month lockdown two months ago I guess.
I haven't seen anyone being stupid out here. People here just aren't as scared as they were.

i can assure you , there is no pain like it

Look at all those island nations with low Covid numbers! We need to be like them!

Should Kenney start digging a big trench around Alberta?

Close the borders to who? Essential goods traffic which makes up the vast majority of people crossing borders? Who would want to vacation in Alberta right now in any case?

It's "grasping at straws" time apparently. The horse left the barn a year ago.

It's becoming clearer to me that Canada is probably going to have similar case numbers to the U.S. no matter what we do. All the measures do is turn a really big spike into several smaller ones.

Fix the health care system. Make it capable of handling a surge in cases.

So....... I take the vaccine, still can catch Covid, still can transmit it, may cause life- long problems......and if I don’t might catch Covid. What would I gain by taking the vaccine? Not much in my perspective.

You will be able to leave Sask in the middle of winter. Canada has to be worst place on the planet to get locked down during the winter months. Thats the main reason everyone is getting vaccinates.
