    Here's the thing about isolation: (First hand experience) People who are asymptomatic transmit the virus at a very low rate. If people stay home when they start to experience symptoms, they will more than likely only transmit the virus to their immediate family. If you're not feeling well, stay home and get yourself tested. If you're positive, follow the public health guidelines. This virus can be contained if people are careful. It is the careless people who end up infecting our most vulnerable citizens.

    I got my negative result back today. I recommend getting tested - not a big deal at all.

    We didn’t check our corn for worms this year - therefore they don’t have any.
  4. Thank you.

    The fact is that he was asymptomatic the second time, would seem to indicate that he’d built up some immunity.

    She said it in response to a concerned parent on one of her Facebook posts https://www.facebook.com/eileen.clarke.9843 It's the third post.

    I’m not sure how much say she has in how the province is run. But other MLAs could have similar beliefs.

    It's beginning to look like they'll shut down Maple Leaf - with phase 1 restrictions back in place in PMH I know I've said this before: but how do you then go ahead and open schools? All the minister does is have a news conference telling us what we already know. Edit: I just heard this directly from an MLA. They believe it's safe to open schools because most cases are isolated in communal clusters. SMH.

    We’re a fiercely independent and autonomous lot - but I do have friends offering to do Scotch runs & pizza deliveries for me...

    Thank you - the struggle is real but we will get through it.

    Just listening to the press conference. They keep repeating that there are cases in known clusters - communal living settings 1. Schools are basically communal living settings 2. There are more younger people getting the virus
  12. Mark H. replied to JCon's topic in General Discussion
    They were invited to do the testing.
  13. Mark H. replied to JCon's topic in General Discussion
    Both.
  14. Mark H. replied to JCon's topic in General Discussion
    If these measures stay in place for any length of time, I don't see how they could justify opening schools.
  15. Osh doesn’t make changes! Hecht is better for Hall’s soft zone!

    BREAKING NEWS Because of rising numbers in Brandon and reports of large gatherings, Prairie Mountain Health Region is being moved from code Yellow to Orange. Effective Monday: Group sizes restricted to 10 in western Manitoba and masks will be mandatory in public places. (CBC) (CP)

    During the April, May lockdown, it was perceived as a Winnipeg problem. “It can’t happen to us outside the perimeter.” Brandon is simply the largest symptom of a pervasive problem. But the vibe is changing, it seems like people are starting to come around.

    Putting people in harm’s way is the opposite of what a religion or religious person is supposed to do. It has become so ridiculously misguided in some cases, and Covid 19 has quite frankly exposed the underbelly.
  19. He won't tell us what we want to hear. But with Wade, at least you know what's going on.
  20. So many ruined drinking games...

    It’s depressing how bad things need to get, before deniers will shut up.

    Most of the Interlake - Eastern cases are travel related as well.
  23. Mark H. replied to JCon's topic in General Discussion
    I have an uncle in ICU, and my aunt or any other family can't even visit. I think anyone still not taking Covid seriously - should be required to explain their actions to people who have been impacted like that.

    With Cargill, it didn't happen till they had over 100 cases. And that was with beef cattle, that can just be left on pasture. There will be thousands of hogs euthanized if (when) Maple Leaf shuts down. We used to have dozens of slaughter houses in Manitoba, with employees who were well compensated, but I guess the current model is more progressive. /sarcasm
