Covid19 Fallout Observations
- Thread starter Rruuff Day
- Start date
Week # "feels like forever"
Covid-19 Observation: Rant
on TV commercials and FB
without prejudice ...
Are there perhaps a million people
who are now available to earn an income
and willing to do simple tasks without
asking/advocating for "Thanks" ... ?
Even though "thank you" and "sorry"
is a way of life here for pretty much
everything and anything ...
First Responders &
Life Support Workers aside.
as always ... Thank you

You should open up your own alcohol store from where you are right now. You'd make a killing on the black market!
Sixteen more Albertans die by suicide for every one per cent increase in unemployment, report finds
A new report from the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy shows a correlation between the unemployment rate and the suicide rate in Alberta — a finding the executive director of the Centre for Suicide Prevention in Calgary called “astounding.”

Hey Paul! Glad to hear you at least do not have CV-19
Get your blood circulating thinking of driving the Vette in a week or two. That should cure you.

Sandy got creative the other day and came up with a project for us to do together.
Just an observation and opinion on the multitudes lobbying for relaxing Covid19 restrictions across both Canada and the US. Ontario jumped the gun lately in announcing that with the slight reduction in new cases over the last couple days, that they feel it has peaked in that province. All this did was strengthen the argument for reducing restrictions for both bored people and suffering businesses. A premature light at the end of the tunnel and relaxing at this time could easily result in a second wave of infections as the general public reads into this that it's almost over, and life can get back to normal. It's my opinion, that unfortunately, it's far from over and relaxing now would be the worst thing we could do. Two days shows of a negative curve in new cases seems to have backfired with Ontario's highest single day new cases number being announced today. Is this just a spike in a flattening curve? Perhaps, but we should take a tip from stockmarket followers and lay a straight edge along the graph. Ignore the highs and the lows and average the line direction. Word of caution though. Draw your line long enough to represent a trend. Like the stock market, short spikes or drops are not reliable in ascertaining a peak. We saw how quickly the case numbers here in Canada went from a handful to nearly 42,000 in a few short weeks. To think that could not happen again in a heartbeat would be a mistake. Stay vigilant people and, as painful as that is, that, short of a vaccine, is the only way to really beat this thing.
Stay healthy and safe one and all.

Perhaps the “safety factor” normallyassociated with the Physics in Engineering
that should be considered and respected
in the Engineering of Biology & Chemistry.

I have no debate to provide on the seriousness of this situation and the long term benefit of remaining shut in and away from exposure. I do however have a very large amount of empathy for those who are losing their businesses, employers trying to keep their employees, or those simply fighting to keep the wolves off their doorways now.
I find it as frustrating as anyone being stuck myself and watching others who are in real need become more desperate daily.
I read today the PM has announced a large investment toward the science of baselining the actual exposures and immunity levels achieved in Canada. I realize hindsight is generally perfect but I question as to why this wasn't done immediately and in parallel with the emergency measures. If done right away it would have certainly given us a far better understanding and a clearer path forward by this time in the response to the pandemic. I won't get into criticisms or finger-pointing at health ministers, PMs and the country's top medical advisors, as there is plenty of that already and far more to come before this is over.
I will give Canada credit though as in my daily 8 hours of news and YouTube it appears Canada is the first G7 country to actually throw this much money at the problem with the specific focus of gathering immunity data with the goal to get the country back up and running in a responsible way. Even if in a limited way.
I suspect this will be years... not months before we can live in a "normal" world. One thing is for sure. We will be paying for it for years to come.
Ok enough gloom... back to the regularly scheduled positive stuff.
Guess no one told the virus it was infringing on liberties. Anyway, isolation won't help you, those liberal 5G towers will get you with the virus while you sleep and take your guns away on the way out.... Time for a socially distanced tattoo of the above in my recently declared virus free Georgia tat parlour.
