LOCKDOWN TORONTO AND PEEL

[james t kirk]

Exactly! You're probably more likely to catch Covid in a busy Walmart or Costco than in a small store that lets in only 2 people at a time.

Not to mention factories.

Ford and chrysler and the entire auto supply chain continue to churn out product on assembly lines staffed by thousands of workers. Industry as a whole. .(And we have to.)

There doesn't seem to be much logic in this. Schools and factories and construction get a pass. Mosques and Indian festivals get a pass. A small retail store and restaurants and gyms get hammered.

Maybe leave it up to me as to whether or not I want to go to a restaurant or not.

Yes like the people who keep on going to MPs and the way they were kept open. Smartest decision the government had made yet is to finally shut down the MPs. They should have been shut down with the clubs and bars. Now we will see cases drop somewhat.

You are sadly mistaken if you think the number of cases Ontario is seeing was due to MP's being open. The data is out there for anyone who wants to see where the cases are coming from and it most certainly is not MP's.

Vaccines on the horizon. it's like you almost have those eggs home, which is the time to get extra cautious.
Wanna go drinking and to a house party after? Book a different SP? Attend an anti mask rally? There's a war on, moron!!

I really can not understand some of these selfish COVIDIOTS.
Don't know how many times I posted that if people who are disobeying mask guidelines, social distancing guidelines, staying within their bubble guidelines don't smarten up going backwards on phases or full shutdowns are the only option we will have available to us as cases would be increasing too high.
Unfortunately this small percentage of people but a significant amount of people lack empathy, they couldn't care any less about others health and well being. There are a few of them on TERB.

Most of those, lets call them "Covidiots", are ok with the 4 points mentioned above but are against closing down the TTC because it would inconvenience them.

Macmillian Dictionary defines “covidiot” as “an insulting term for someone who ignores health advice about COVID-19." Urban Dictionary takes a pretty similar approach, defining “covidiot” as “someone who ignores the warnings regarding public health or safety

How many people have to die for covidiots to believe it is real?

You should use words properly. It helps one look more intelligent.

Schools.... get a pass.

Interesting to note that when they closed the schools in NYC last week, the very widespread uproar was that they didn't keep them open because the rate of transmission was so low.

How come our fearless leaders at all 3 levels of government aren't talking about what they are doing to help and prepare us for this fight. How come there is no talk about the owners of old age homes where 100"s died in the begging of it all from neglect and

incompetence. Are they still the owners and do they still benefit from them? Are any of those fine human being held accountable? Why not show the factories producing those ventilators the we were in such shortage of? Why not talk about how many new nurses and

new doctors we hired to help in this fight? How many new and temporary hospital beds did we open? How about showing the millions of people that recovered from this deadly virus?

Because a more effective strategy is to try to deal with the CAUSE of the pandemic than to deal with the OUTCOMES of it.

Maybe you never heard of this obscure proverb: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." For sure the covidiots do not understand this. Would you rather be a non-smoker to minimize the chance of lung cancer, or would you rather smoke and have a top grade surgeon cut out your lung?

Yup. If we ALL do something now, we can get through this and return to "normal" sooner than later. Those who choose to do NOTHING are extending the timeline. Don't make me have to endure restrictions and shutdowns because of YOUR actions (or inactions).
I don't give a shit about politicians. You guys get wound up over someone who was elected (chosen) to be a "leader", even though they likely have no qualifications or experience. I'm carefully weighing what various medical experts are advising and then making my own decisions. And I'm choosing to minimize risk.

Your post makes no sense at all. I do not smoke!

Maybe you should start smoking. Just think, an extra filter to stop Covid.

Does smoking tobacco or cannabis inactivate, potentiate or mutate this Coronavirus, I mean deep inhalation when in an environment where aerosol transmission is possible? What does the meta-analysis say if anything yet?

 

[jalimon]

I have not seen any research suggesting tobacco could help killing the virus. To the contrary lungs of smoker are weaker thus making them a bit more at risk of developing complications.

How do you expect those ppl to get to work? Not everyone is rich to afford a car. I guess more CERB for those people.

Because the lockdowns are politically motivated. They turned covid to about politics. Consider this they shut down stripclubs but MPs continued to operate as usual. Weird. But rest assured that they have an agenda. And the government likes to get bigger and play grand ma.

We will never know because any cases from MPs will go unreported and same for incalls. No one will admit it to health services. But we will now see in the next coming weeks if cases do drop. One thing it is definitely not the fault of bars and clubs.

How do you expect people to go to work when everything will be shut down and there will be no more work to go to?

Think first before you post!

What kind of stupid comment is this? You make no sense. A lot of jobs are ESSENTIAL. Security guards, nurses, grocery store workers, etc.. How will they get to work? I guess you will volunteer to drive them all. Smh. What a dumb post. Think before you write nonsense.

I hate to say it...hopefully this vaccine is the crutch to allow humanity to the finish line.

I don’t see anything new, these results have been exposed. Numerous walks of life has to flow and will play out including the virus. Deaths will happen. Extreme fear has the ability to manifest the reality you were originally avoiding.

Fortunately each individual is capable to live life without getting infected. Be aware of the limitations the hospitals are being challenge, so keep this in mind if this is a concern to you.

As part of the 2% of population that mortality is great, the choice of infection is truly only in my own hands then others, to be clear that also including the government.

I am also aware what is unjust. There is only one direction to the finish line. Fortunately humanity is capable of learning, creating and adapting, so I have faith that humanity will reach this goal as life is allowed to play out.

Thats shire stupidity, the ultimate kind of nonsense. You're myopic brain has no view outside of you're tiny single cell mind.

You think that you're taking this issue seriously, and everyone else who thinks they're talking the issue seriously with a different conclusion is selfish?

Get with the program buddy, tolerance, diversity, inclusion.

Read that again.

If you're not on board, fine.

Sheeeesh!

JuanGoodman,

One thing is the government created this problem with their lockdowns. First lockdowns do not work. It is stupid to lock everyone down for a virus with a 99.8% survival rate but 60% of small businesses will disappear. Second thing is if they shut the TTC down then all those workers who cannot go to work will get CERB. Plain and simple. It is a cyclical argument. Cases will drop but once you reopen the cases will surge again. How long do you propose everyone stays locked up as prisoners? With your logic all grocery stores and hospitals should be shut down because it will spread covid. See how what you wrote makes no sense. The TTC is just as essential as grocery stores.

No, actually schools don't get a pass, they're helping stop the spread.

CDC says schools are among the safest place for kids.

Teachers are bringing the virus in if it's in, not kids, and they're not taking it home either.
