That's what the MAGA crowd believes.
It's completely false, but I figure it's Darwin's Law. Let them get sick, and perish. It will thin out the herd.
Actually it is fairly accurate. You wearing a mask may keep someone else from getting what you have. Or not. It will not do much to protect you from getting what someone else has. We wear a half mask and face shield when dealing with patients that MAY be infected. We also get fit tested for our masks. OTH by wearing a mask improperly could make you sick from the bacterial buildup from wearing it all day. Wearing it with your nose uncovered makes it useless to you or anyone else, something that I see lots of even by staff in places face diapers are required.

Quebec is "on the verge"of declaring a red alert over covid.

They will move Montreal and Quebec City from orange to red in the coming days. Honest.

The problem in Quebec is that they are a deplorable-heavy society. They are not going to isolate or wear masks or do anything that anybody tells them to do.

Because french.

I lay that at the feet of law enforcement. There's no bloody use in making rules that won't be enforced!


You would have to make 1/2 your population law enforcement to catch everything and even then you wouldn't. You know driving how many drivers and cyclists get away with shit.

NO - Just enough to make enforcement visible.to most of the population. If I spend 8 hours in town and see two people get arrested, that leaves an impression.

If you go into one of these parties with machine guns blazing, that would leave an even bigger impression wouldn't it?

1,000,000 tests in Alberta

More than one million people in Alberta have now been tested for COVID-19, the province's health minister says.

Tyler Shandro kicked off a new conference on Monday by announcing the milestone.

The latest update shows that laboratories had tested 1,001,638 people by the end Sunday.

"This is a big number and a remarkable accomplishment for our health-care system," Shandro said. "We know that testing is crucial to winning the fight against COVID-19. Timely and accurate testing lets our health system identify cases quickly.

At the start of the pandemic, Shandro said, provincial labs had the capacity to run a few hundred tests per day.

"Since then, we've developed the strongest and most dynamic testing program in the country," the minister said. "While other provinces have faced massive lineups, or consistently narrow testing criteria, Alberta has been a leader.

Alberta was among the first provinces to open up testing to all travellers, Shandro said, and was the first to offer asymptomatic testing and the first to work with community pharmacies to expand capacity.

"Alberta has now conducted more tests per capita than B.C., Ontario or Quebec," he said. "We all should be proud of what our labs have accomplished."
