    the watcher got a reaction from WildPath in Covid-19   
    I did a parts / grocery run to Winkler/ Stanley , Manitoba's capital of anti vaccination, Covid denial and anti- masking. It was interesting and I learned a few things. There are 2 types of buisnesses there. Those with masked employees who obviously turf unmasked people. They are busy, and everyone who I saw enter is masked and don't seem to care. The other type of business has unmasked employees,  and don't say a word to unmasked customers. They are busy as well and probably %75 of the customers are unmasked. So it is ALL about enforcement. But apparently it has been left to individual buisnesses to do so. It is obvious to me that its all about leadership. The boss says mask up , everyone masks up. Customers accept it. You dont lose buisness. And like it or not Pallister is our boss and the boss of all those small buisnesses I went into. He has dropped the ball on this. He has failed .All that was needed was direct orders to mask up AND the enforcement to make them do so. The numbers we saw today are not an anomaly.  They will continue to rise.

    The RCMP and Health and Safety should have the mandate to go in and shut down any business that isn't complying with masking/general COVID safety guidelines...

    No, this is now the third wave- we knew it was coming and once again did not act fast enough. You make a mistake, you learn from it... then you make the same mistake... and then you are given 2-4 weeks of notice from your neighbours as to what is coming... you don't take what you should have learned the first two ******* times and here we are...
    May is going to be a **** month.

    The GOP is waaay past grasping at the nuances of irony.  They are into monomaniacal intent to create a system of politics that exclusively benefits them and can be manipulated at their will.

    A little over 40% of Manitobans have had their first dose of the vaccine, still taking to long but we are getting there,

    The latest ploy of the anti-vaxers and covidiots is to hype and exaggerate the clotting risk associated with the vaccines. Here is a comparison:
    Astra Zeneca vaccine: 0.0004%
    Oral contraceptives: 0.05 to 0.12%
    Smoking: 0.18%
    COVID infection: 16.5% (and this is without taking into account the more lethal variants)

    No matter what is found or not found in the ballot recounts, the right-wing fascists in the US and Trump will never accept their losses.

    Montana 's minimum wage is $ 8.75. an hour.  Or if your business has under $ 110,000 in sales  $ 4.OO , Yes $ 4.00 a friggen hour.  I wonder why they have trouble finding workers ?

    I have notice in the last week or so the numbers for the North have gotten real low. Wondering if the vaccination are starting to slow down the spread up there.

    It's a very subtle change. You'll start getting a mild headache and slight rash when you use an Apple product.
    But you will know it's really working when you blurt out at the dinner table that you want a divorce.

    I can't wait for the next dose. This 2.5G is pretty slow and I'm not sure if Bill's tracking chip is working yet. I haven't had the urge to buy any MS products... yet.

    I know what you mean BUT there are millions and millions who follow and believe what he says. He stirs them up, and gives them licence to be uncivil in the least and possibly violent to their fellow citizens. I think ignoring most of the nutbars in this country works. In the US I think it just allows them free rein to stir up hatred and violence. It continues the endrun to revolution.
