The idea that "the government" will get us out of this mess is laughable.
Anyone here who has ANY connection to or experience working for/with ANY level of government can attest to this.

The plague will do what the plague will do regardless of government action/inaction.

At the top we have Truedope, the poster boy of ineptitude. A total screw up of vaccine acquisition, paid to much for too little and too late. Distribution is a comedy encore.

Ford is at a disadvantage as he relies on Ottawa for support but he could do more. I wonder if the stores that are allowed to stay open use Deco labels.

There is no way that a politician is going to admit incompetence and turn over the reins to some one else.

If I am correct in that, we need a benevolent dictator to take over with a military coup.

14 day mandatory quarantine for persons arriving from out of country. Detained in a government facility at travelers expense.

This includes air, ground or sea travel. Supplies of necessary goods, food and medical supplies get limited exemptions. Sorry no strawberries in April. If we run out of California romaine eat cabbage. It's food and keeps you alive so shut up.

Curfews

Minimal domestic travel for groceries and medical needs. X kilometre radius. Everything else closed.

Amazon shut down. Manufacturing shut down.. Walmart open for groceries only. Construction shut down.

Minimal exemptions.

One travel card per household. Everyone else stay home.

All fines quadrupled.

Present limp wrist courts replaced by military tribunals.

If it works we should be out of the heavy fighting in a month with minimal new cases. Then we slowly relax a bit.

The result will be rioting by the snowflakes akin to Myanmar with the corresponding military push back and blood in the streets. Can't fix stupid. The US will declare war on us as we have become a threat to their economy.
 
Costco and Walmart is still open

and no mandatory WFH

Yeah. I got sucked in as well. Sorry. We're all angry.

The covid problem is a triangle with the sides being politics, economics and medicine. Every side touches on the other two.

Is that what the strange noise was this morning? The soft cries of software developers throughout Ontario.
 
CT is packed in Georgetown, No limit to how many are going in and out

My point was, we’re ******* this up with a virus which has a relatively low mortality rate. If we can’t get this right we’re in trouble if something worse comes along.

Not trying to downplay the situation.

Are you surprised?

My chiro and physio responded "we're ******" when I asked "so what if this was a zombie apocalypse?"

Those books and movies aren't based on nothing lol

But leaks also say garden centres are allowed to stay open. Last I checked, costco and walmart both had garden centres and garden centres sell patio furniture and bug lights and . . . surprise surprise, all open because it's essential.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet the government is in bed with megacorps either directly or indirectly via taxes.

No judgment from the above comment. Just an obvious observation.

Understood, but with the dead and injured totals, destroyed lives, disintegrating economy there are still those that don't think it will affect them.

Does it have to come to Roman decimation, one in ten killed, for people to wake up, for politicians to admit they need help and turn over the decisions to medical people not bureaucrats.

Medical people are not unbiased either. If you followed medical advise we would have been locked in our houses for the last year as they are only looking at minimizing the impact on health and the health care system. They do not consider personal or provincial economics, viability, logistics or anything else as that is outside of their scope.

In a related interesting note (no links because I didn't look them up but they are available), in Ontario more school boards are pushing to close to limit spread and a top BC doctor is saying to keep schools open to limit spread. Some assume that the students go home and live in isolation while schools are closed, the more realistic realize that closed schools results in many children hanging out together unsupervised (and mostly unconcerned about spreading the virus).

I'd say yes because even the people are stupid/divided. Look at all the idiot anti mask folk.

Otherwise, we could just rally lol (eh....though that breaks COVID laws.)

I'd say it's heard legal advice from it's lawyers, and the shutdown would collapse, if legally challenged.


Wife is totally ****** at the nonsensical four months between shots, and was thinking of waiting until she could get a 95% efficacy vaccine, but then got on the waiting list anyways. Who wants to get sick? 40% vs 5%? Plus the blood clot risk.

And if the courts are in a rock solid lockdown for the same period??? By the time the challenge was heard, it would be over and a legal exercise with little effect.

Yeah....we haven't seen the economical fallout.

I thought buying a place during this **** show was a good idea, but it won't be if the economy truly crashes (I swear it's mostly the little ppl/mom pop shops that got raped, but I don't know the economical effects of that in the long run.)
