Canada's official policy and strategy has been that a second wave is extremely likely all along. Maybe this isn't what you Americans have been hearing all year but it's common knowledge in Canada. I don't need to post it. Why would I say I agree with "hiding from the virus" when that phrase is stupid ? Nobodies hiding from anything. If you are going to post derogatory phrases meant to discredit the strategy it's a nonstarter.
From July 2nd : I clearly referred to the "second wave" as a coming event. I have several other times on here referred to the second wave and suggested those areas that had the worst first wave experiences and didn't change their approach enough would more likely have a bad second wave as well ( mostly in reference to Florida ). Note that post was a direct reply to you; no doubt you were making up a lot of shit about what I supposedly believe and I laid it out for you concisely in my post.
You were responding to my statement... You were not predicting a second wave. You had just been telling how low the deaths were in Canada and how great Canada's policy was. -- I have a question... since you are saying everyone knew it was inevitable. When did Canada first predict a second wave was going to happen? Because I found a bunch of articles saying your lockdown created devastating financial and emotional and health consequences for many.
I strongly disagree with this statement. It takes me way back to when you claimed the chances I will get Covid were as big as yours. No. By taking safety precautions and avoiding nonessential activities in public my risks are/were lower. Not zero, just lower. Since you don't seem to care if you get Covid, you are ok with the risks. If your community overrides your opinion, you just have to suck it up and learn to cope with the rules until a better medical solution arrives.
your opinion on the subject of who is more likely to get Covid is ill informed and ignorant. just a few weeks ago your were arguing I had not posted here because Covid got me or a family member... you have no science behind anything you believe. just leftist bullshit. I am going to go get some exercise now. Post whatever you wish.
Tough path to walk for the anti-face mask folks. Wait for over a million of the American population to die from Covid-19 and then hope that those that survived being Covid-19 positive have developed some form of immunity (there needs to be +millions) to then announce herd immunity without having a vaccine. Another solution is that he needs to wait for that vaccine to be found and there's no guarantee that he'll take that vaccine considering a large % of the anti-face mask folks are also anti-vaxxers while Pro Trump. That puts them into a tough spot...follow the advice of their buffon President (assuming the miracle cure is found / approved before Nov 3rd) and then take a vaccine or wait for millions to die and millions more to recover from Covid-19 positive...setting up herd immunity. An approved FDA therapeutic cocktail of medicine will work too that the insurance companies will accept is a solution too. In fact, if Jem is a betting person...he can even place a bet that a vaccine will be found / approved before the Nov 3rd elections. Regardless, its the one credit / only credit I will give the Trump administration...starting Operation Warp Speed instead of waiting for herd immunity. https://www.safestbettingsites.com/blog/bet-on-covid-19-vaccine-approval wrbtrader
Responding to jem. Not related to whomever jem was responding to. Oh my god, jem, er True Justice, you're still alive! Where have you been. We need you to add levity and nonsense to these forums. P.S. I love Canada. They have something we don't. A Mentally stable person at the top of their government. Covid death rate in Canada, jem, is lower than in the U.S. because Canadians get a uniform, sensible message from their government -- no governing by midnight tweet from an erratic insane sociopath. I miss you jem. I no longer have any one here who thinks that the fed is privately owed by the big banks and operated for their profit. I sincerely miss your nuttiness.
And there you are again acting like a complete turd, calling me a "leftist" and ignorant. Buddy my degree and some of my consulting experience is ideal for doing data analysis; I can tell nothing in your background gives you any skills in this area. But believe what you want and continue to feel constantly persecuted by "leftists".
hey nine morons... what the hell could possibly be thinking comparing Canada favorably or equal to San Diego or Sweden currently. you all had 90 deaths on October 2 and 53 on the October 3. your 7 day average of death is 34. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/canada The 7 day average of deaths in Sweden is 1 or fewer. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/ Sweden has not had 143 deaths if you add the last 2 months together. The last time they had 90 deaths in a day was the middle of April. Your shutdown has failed failing "bigly" in the most important category... I am stunned by that chart. I wonder if it is incorrect... its such a big failure.
