True, but the timing of that does not add up, because it was 3 - 4 weeks ago. The true story is, he went back to Alberta again after the funeral, on a business trip. A week later, the **** hit the fan.

Because it isn’t true. It was 2 - 3 people who didn’t follow the rules, not an entire group. Most Hutterite communities in MB have followed all the public health guidelines. Also, no one identified any visible minorities on Corydon.

There is no direct link between that large funeral and the cases in Manitoba.

And the all the Hutterite cases stem from travel to Alberta.

Not only was racism alive and well, you might also want check out the rigid class system that most people lived under.

So, apparently their income threshold for the first round of stimulus cheques was $99 000. How on earth does someone with almost 100K income need a stimulus cheque?

After course we do. After all - there’s so much comfort in the conspiracy theories.

I was saying to someone from North Dakota just yesterday, that the world was opening up and getting back to work. He considered that to be an idiotic statement, because "American businesses never closed, but people don't want to work. The virus has been blown out of proportion and people are sitting at home living off their stimulus cheques." Unquote.

Can anyone wrap their brain around the American approach? 1. Don’t mandate the closure of businesses. 2. Hand out stimulus cheques to everyone, whether they are unemployed or not. 3. Complain about people not going to work.

Pass the fart salad...

No, not us.

Eh?

Yes, but within the public health guidelines.

Unfortunately, the response to to Covid runs the gamut among our communities - from very conscientious about social distancing, travel restrictions, and PPE - to doing almost nothing at all. The latter has led to some cases of stigmatization.

TBD - depends on the contact tracing results. The person who originally had the virus has recovered. They were extremely sick for 2 - 3 days, approx. 10 days altogether.

I just heard a story of a three year old child on life support due to Covid 19 - that 20% can be pretty darn serious.

The entire colony is in the process of getting tested and quarantining as needed.

It is not Netley. But we are once again closed to visitors until things settle down. Without divulging too much info - I will just say that travel to Alberta is probably a bad idea.

There was a mange outbreak in our area over the winter. But I saw some healthy looking fox pups yesterday, so I’ll take that as a sign that the population is recovering. By the way, stray cats that can look after themselves are fantastic for rodent control.

That old bugger always did breed like a rabbit.

Send some over here - our rabbit population is out of control.

No, but let's go back to United States for a minute. They have almost a quarter of the deaths on the globe. That is a shoddy record for a western democracy, no matter how many states are flattening the curve. I think a country has to own all of their data.

I can tell you for sure that two of the cases have nothing to do with Grand Beach, including the one in the Interlake.

You could make the same argument about Quebec in Canada - so what?

This seems like it should be easy to find - but does anyone know of a site that lists world deaths by year?
