Time for a partial lockdown.

[shack]

The daily infection rates continue to steadily rise and just as consistent is that people between 20-40 years of age are accounting for 65-70% of the infections.

We all want our lives to get back to some sense of normalcy as soon as possible. But it will never happen as long as these covidiots continue act so irresponsibly. They are depriving the rest of us of our lifestyle and our economy. And they are the ones complaining the most about masks and distancing (as if it's such a horrendous sacrifice), but they are the ones that are causing restrictions to be extended.

We should target our actions at the cause of our ongoing problems. All people between 20 and 40 who have non-essential jobs should be placed under mandatory quarantine until infection rates are down to below 50/day (speaking about Ontario). Start fines at $100 for the first infraction and increase it by 100 for each subsequent infraction.

Why should we let these selfish morons screw the rest of us over? The same people who want to punish China for initiating the pandemic, should be in favour of punishing the people who are keeping us down.

You shouldn't call the future of this country "selfish morons". These are the young, the strong, the risk-takers who are going to push boundaries and break down barriers to create a future better than one that the old are capable of imagining.

Great idea, lets put more people out of work and destroy more of the economy

I agree with you. Time for a partial lockdown but I would only shut down schools, bars and anything related to putting on larger events like weddings. No one is really getting sick at work or going to places that mandate masks. Controlling social events where people don't wear masks is the key.

Perhaps. But in the meantime they may be responsible for the death of these old people and that is unacceptable.

The economy is destroyed by the virus anyhow.

Boomer tears.

Let's be honest. You and the rest of the Boomers destroyed these kid's lives. They have no future to look forward to. They're indentured servants that will have a poorer quality of life than you while simultaneously paying for your healthcare for the rest of your life.

Is it too much for them to ask or even demand a bit of fun in their pitiful lives? Why would you expect sympathy after what you've done to them?

So you are saying that they are justified in prolonging our dilemma, sociologically as well as financially?

That is a joke of a response. You Know Dick-All, Mr.

If we’re concerned with actually saving lives then the people that are most vulnerable to this virus are the ones that should be quarantined.

Thats the smartest plan. Quarantine them and give them a nice pension (more than standard).
Also I dont mind paying a little extra taxes to pay for their pension.

In the meantime only make masks mandatory on public transport.
Keep practicing social distancing, but also keep bars, restaurants.....etc open

This will keep the economy going. Everybody is happy

This is what will happen if we keep locking down: https://globalnews.ca/news/7316777/yves-giroux-federal-deficit-spending/

So I was speaking with someone yesterday and they explained how some of the numbers are skewed or being presented incorrectly.

For example, numbers are higher right now like there were but we are testing more.

Now don’t quote my numbers but apparently testing now are finding 1% of those tested are testing positive. Instead of a much higher percentage before based on the fact that they would get a positive of some 409 people but only 10,000 tests where being done while some 30K are being done now.

Add to that, there is an apparent .8% false positive rate. And they don’t change those numbers or if they do, you don’t really hear about it.

Yesterday the amount of cases in Durham were -6. Meaning that they had 6 false positives somewhere and Durham has been recording 5-7 positive people lately. So Durham has less then what has actually been reported. You see the number on the site but you don’t hear the news saying anything about it.

Having him point a couple of things out to me, I can’t believe our governments numbers now and if I can’t believe them, how can I or others make a proper decision on things like lockdowns?

Man

You’re a real Drama Queen

Isn’t he though. Hahahahhaha.

I think we should chip in and get him a tiara from Dollarama.

The problem with that there will also be many false negatives

Main coronavirus test produces ‘false negatives’ at least 20% of the time, study shows - National | Globalnews.ca

The main type of test for the novel coronavirus around the world has a “false-negative” rate of at least 20 per cent, researchers from Johns Hopkins University found.

So clearly it sounds like they should get their testing fixed. It has been 6 months, how have they not figured out the proper testing by now.

Ugh and as much as I don’t like giving him the credit, C-M is right about the definition change too.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe the virus is real and dangerous, but how can we make informed choices when all this shit around testing is happening.

Wrong way of thinking. We are concerned about controlling the infection and saving lives in that manner.

The people dying are not the cause. The people who do not follow guidelines, then get infected and perpetuate the spread are the cause.

It's like saying treat the lung cancer once somebody gets it but don't do anything about tobacco consumption. Like your suggestion, it is back assward.
