One of my buddies lost his parents recently. Looks like a healthcare worker brought it to their house. They both died within 20 hours of each other. His brother was living with the parents and got it as well. Lost 25 pounds and getting belly injections currently. I'm sure he thinks it is just the flu and that masks are not needed.
anti-science kooks fuck off

Thanks for those links. 46.5% D1 rate for BC right now and Step 2 requires 65%? https://health-infobase.canada.ca/co...tion-coverage/Quote:

But if the three metrics are met and then the national government opens the borders in their July 21 announcement... man just seems unlikely. Maybe they'd do that with the caveat that you have to be vaccinated to enter. But I could see them not opening the borders until September 21. :(

canada got to 50% in what seemed like a few weeks, i think it's possible we could see a summer opening. but, i may be wishcasting here.
60% of BC residents with one dose as of today they said in update.Quote:

Apparently, filling the freezer with food is not on the essential travel list (BC Wildlife Federation already petitioned to have such activities exempt, and lost). All because that overpopulated ruinous ecosystem called Fraser Health and Coastal Health can't be trusted and are a petri dish for COVID19!
J/K
Kinda
I was talking to the wife, and I can't see any politician being able to keep the travel restrictions up past the kiddos getting out of school at the end of June, especially with the number of adults with their first vax shot. Guess we'll see on June 15th is the numbers allow for easement, or if they will extend it another 2 wks until the end of June.
SO we are seeing A restriction on where one can travel un-vaxed ... wow who seen that coming !
Yep dude, you can say whatever the fuck you want. However when you say really stupid shit it makes you look stupid. I don't want to censor you, you aren't spouting hate speech or something like that but I can sure as fuck ignore you in a heartbeat. So rant all you want, you have the freedom to but you should choose words that don't make you appear to be a fucking idiot.Quote:

You think your proud antivax stance would sit well with somebody who lost someone close to this fucking virus?
So this is interesting. Haven't seen it from any other source and not sure the Point Bob news is a trustworthy source, but...

The number of deaths is undeniable like the rapid decline in deaths corresponding to social distancing, ppe and now inoculation. Its not a coincidence. The proof is pretty overwhelming for any reasonable onlooker

I havent heard anything about the border openning either
Vax was the big game changer cuz with people not really doing the distancing or PPE all that well we would have been fucked with a 3rd, 4th... 10th wave
right now India is REALLY bad from what i have read, WAY more deaths than have been reported, most likley surpassing the totals in America
Some people choose words that make them look like an idiot .... because, wait for it.....
They are an idiot. Live and let die.
Saw several BC plates this week, and one Yukon today.
My guess is that the US CBP is acting unilaterally on this.
there are people down there and up here who have valid reasons and are allowed
but that doesnt make the border OPEN to the masses
Sounds like openings will be tied to 2nd shot percentage. BC has the india strain(not indica) gaining a foothold and the first shot isnt nearly as effective against the india strain. 'Berta/Kenney can make all the plans he wants, the 'rona don't give af about 'berta plans

Kenny pretty much has the Covid done and gone instead of taking it slow and cautious if you listen to the rhetoric in his press confrence
IMO Kenny is just proving what a dumb ass he is and has always been
Yup, Kenny is just a blowhard without the brains to back it up. 'Bertans love that shit. I dont see how Ford gets the votes. That guy just comes across as a dooofus . He's way over his head. Not sure how manitoba is fucking up so bad

And yet I read that 50% of Canadians believe Americans should be barred from entering until at least September. It is like a gated community who doesn't want the peons to infiltrate.
Yes, I think it would be a shot across the bow by the U.S. I've read a few stories suggesting that Canada's foot dragging is primarily due to politics at this point. The politicians still see this hesitancy by their electorate, so that is guiding them rather than the science. It's pretty crazy at this point that vaccinated people shouldn't be able to move freely between the two countries. Of course the U.S. also doesn't want any kind of "vaccine passport."Quote:

Ontario is doing slightly worse then QC but is trending in the right direction. Not sure what their re-opening plan is yet but Doug Ford has made more than a few mis-steps so i wouldn't be surprised if he fucks it up by opening too fast. Alberta, totally opening up to fast in my opinion. Manitoba is currently fucked, sending overflowing patients to hospitals in western Ontario. The maritime provinces have been reporting higher case counts and are back in lock down in some areas. I have no idea what is happening in BC. So even if the Federal gov wanted to open up the border, some of the provinces may not be ready for that yet, and i think the decision Trudeau makes on the border will follow consultation with all of the provincial premiers. Hope that clears it up for ya!Quote:

The times is currently reporting that Manitoba is experiencing the most coronavirus transmission in NA.
Ontario's current "plan" still has us in restrictions in mid-august, and doesn't have any estimate as to when we can be fully open again. We're not even in step 1 yet. Doug Ford is a flaming joke of a fool.Quote:

It seems like both countries would only want vaccinated people getting through at this point. Not sure why that can't happen.
It would be political suicide for Trudeau (although, his goose is probably cooked no matter what), and vaccination status can't currently be verified.
Sure it can, the government has a record of it. It wouldn't take much to create an app or a special ID card to verify that information.Quote:

Whatcom County is currently at 14 new cases per 100,000 (lower than Pierce County, Tacoma at 22). BC is at 9. By comparison, Manitoba, the worst place in all of North America, is at 34.Quote:
