We need complete Lock down .. Half measure will not work.

[Cheeta]

We need to keep a nationally coordinated lockdown in place until the COVID-19 cases decline to zero. China has completely extinguished endemic community transmission of COVID-19. Life returned completely to normal in China months ago.
The principle is simple: the lockdown prevents transmission of the virus by keeping people apart. If the virus can't transmit before the cases resolve, then the outbreak simply extinguishes itself, as the virus cannot find new hosts before all of the cases resolve.
China's only COVID-19 cases now, are imported, and they catch and isolate every one of them through screening and isolating travellers, just as Taiwan has done from the beginning (Taiwan has a population of 24 million and has had 7 COVID-19 deaths). Our leaders have proven that they no clue about science.

Australia does not even allow its citizen to come back to their country but Trudeau is now allowing more people to come into country.

Canada changing travel restrictions to allow more families to reunite

The federal government is easing the current cross-border travel policies on family reunification, expanding who will be allowed into Canada while also adding new COVID-19 public health screening measures for travellers entering the country.

We don't need more people coming to Canada. We need to take care of our own people .

So does Canada need to act like island countries have acted in successfully battling & defeating C-19.

Does Canada need to effectively & practically make itself as an island.

Do all islands automatically have success against C-19, or the same success, or does it have something to do with what they are doing.

Has the "island" continent Australia had the same success as New Zealand or Taiwan or other islands. If not, why not?

Funniest thing I have read today
Covid will NEVER go to 0
Its same as Flu, Influenza, and a half dozen others

It will always be there, it will always evolve
And people cant live their lives in bomb shelters getting CREB CRB CRCB or whatever other acronym they come up with for spending tax dollars like they are doing

People need to grow up and put their big boy pants on

A virus that only even shows symptoms in like 50% of the population and only manages to kill less than 1% of those is not worth crying over
We have tons of far more serious virii and bacteria to worry about

 

[jalimon]

We now need to learn to live with the virus. Full lockdown is no longer an option as it has disastrous consequences. But do not go out dancing. We still have many months to go through.

Keep spouting nonsense as countries impose restrictions on a virus that only shows symptoms in 50 BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH because that is what your nonsensical diatribe is as the real world around you imposes more and more restrictions to fight what is labeled a pandemic.

Ontario publishes data daily, if you dive a bit you can find the demographic data.... https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data

This data shows 41,228 postive tests in Ontario for people under 60. Those cases resulted in 137 deaths. (0.33% die) That is it, that is all. (Lung cancer kills over 6000 per year in Ontario to have something to measure against)

A good move for society is always to do what is best for young people. They are the future, they have the most years ahead of them. None of the measures taken have been good for young people.

I don’t know about everyone else but since March I’ve been in a lockdown...no crowds, distancing, washing hands, wearing masks, only leaving home for essentials...9 months later we are in no better position with no end in sight.

It already went to zero in some places. In some places they returned to normal life already. Using lockdowns, etc.

We have "tons of more serious virii and bacteria to worry about" than C-19? Name just 3.

I'm all for what Asian countries have done but our western society cannot and will not tolerate it. Different cultures, Western vs Asian, because they were devastated by SARS in 2003, Asian cultures are more discipline and compliant with listening to public health advice. Here we are doing a juggling act with controlling the virus, not devastating the economy, and mental health.

Vehicle accidents are the world's #1 cause of death for young people 5–29 years of age. Lockdowns practically reduced those deaths to nil.

1) Many people have recovered from C-19 illness & have immunity.

2) We are much closer to having an effective vaccine.

3) We've learned a lot about different treatments & continue to do so.

4) We generally know more about the new virus.

5) We are better prepared with masks, etc.

6) The public has been informed & taught repeatedly re safety measures.

7) Death curves have flattened & daily deaths have been reduced in many places.

We should gather people who deny covid in a big group and let them cough on each other.

People who take covid seriously should isolate.

If the deniers get sick we should let them die in a big concentration camp away from healthy people.

The dead should be forced to donate their monies to pay for CERB, etc.
