The entire country is in denial: the second wave is here and there are more shut downs and lock downs coming - and more money the will need to be borrowed.
Or more businesses can close for good and more people can be made homeless - that is the reality of "fiscal restraint"
This is why Trudeau should have been granted the emergency war measures he asked for.
We are going to be facing the worst of it with the separatists all crying about fiscal restraint - as if that was ever a choice. It will be a tough fall for the government and I half expect Trudeau to either call an election or put something in the throne speech either separatists or the lefties cannot allow - and make them to force an election they cannot win. The Liberals will come out of it with a majority and everyone knows it.

So it will be politics as usual in Ottawa at a time when there should be no politics at all.


You're panicking, the worst thing you can do- Just follow Bonnie Henry to the letter and relax!

I don't think a lot of people realize just how serious this thing is! The trick is to understand and prepare for all the risks w/o panicking.

Interesting story too:

Considering the impact Covid seems to have on brain functions in general, and some may not be right away, I wonder now what will happen to those children/young people who got Covid hard enough to be hospitalized and though may seem fine, later in life develop issues.

That's the problem with this thing, we don't know what's going to happen because it's new. Some reactions/secondary issues could pop up years later.

But hey, not to worry, it's not really affecting anyone and even if it is, it's no big deal, especially in young people...

Well, if it's something you can do something about, Do it, if not no use worrying about it! :)

It's not about you and me Pete or what our individual perils are. I simply made a point about how bad it is in the U.K. which I doubt anyone of sound mind would deny. Boris is doing the right thing in my judgment.:)
How many lost pennys do you think are in your house? $1 maybe? If you search for them by yourself, how many do you think youd find?

How many would be found if you had 100 people helping you?

Is it because of protein C perhaps?. Are you sure you're in healthcare?

You already know the chances of death are minuscule, why do you keep gum flapping nonsense?

Some people are loving their time off work.

There's also a section of society that loves telling other members of the public what to do.

They won't be loving all this so much, though, once they receive the bill.

It's not even in the Top 20 biggest killers in the UK. In August, 10 times more people died of the flu.

How many times do I need to keep pointing this out?

Turdoh interrupted the evening news while we were having dinner. When he spoke French his translator had a masculine voice Turdoh can never achieve.

Boris Johnson blames you! The British public's wish for freedom forces authoritarian control.

" Mortality for COVID-19 appears higher than for influenza, especially seasonal influenza. While the true mortality of COVID-19 will take some time to fully understand, the data we have so far indicate that the crude mortality ratio (the number of reported deaths divided by the reported cases) is between 3-4%, the infection mortality rate (the number of reported deaths divided by the number of infections) will be lower. For seasonal influenza, mortality is usually well below 0.1%. However, mortality is to a large extent determined by access to and quality of health care".


The above is what Google says about the matter CONTRARY to your nattering on the matter. I believe Google! :)

I had an LOA booked from April 1 to October 1 to do my my real job. I'm not going back to the winter job. F-ck that. If you knew what it was, you wouldn't either.

If it were protein C, what could each and everyone us do to mitigate damage?

What are the similarities between post thrombitic syndrome and post covid syndrome and what makes them similar?

Protein C?

The worst that could happen is they become socialists. Some people get really sick and some die from the common flu that goes around every year. Sometimes babies are born sick and die at an early age. It is nothing any of us can control so no point in worrying yourself sick about it. That happens as well. My EX fatherinlaw would quite literally worry himself sick over something in the news that he had absolutely no control over.
