  1. Bombers gave me the option of deferring my season ticket payment today... would rather have had some notice of what the actual plan is... since its June and all.

    Well, I'm not sure you fully understand vaccines... When there are multiple strains and if covid is continuing to evolve - we will always be chasing it in the same way we try to predict and hope for the best with the annual flu strains

    Here’s your spike https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/overdose-deaths-bc-1.5607792

  5. What if they just make us pay to get real play by play instead of the third quarter rambling random interview... I'd legit pay for that

    And you think a vaccine will save us...?
  11. That’s why I was thinking they’d lose their second first rounder... the one that was randomly invented to help them
  12. I think theres's a very real possibility of war - likely staged with Russia - if Trump is still tanking in two months... I could see him delaying the election if necessary

    16 people in hospital - 4 of those in ICU... out of 5 million BC will be (already is) a good indicator of how covid cases do not translate to hospitalizations in the general public... just watch over the next month as it reopens
  14. No problem cancelling the fine... but aren't you supposed to lose a draft pick if you go over the cap? I mean AT LEAST penalize them the extra territorial pick they got
  15. https://3downnation.com/2020/06/10/argos-violated-5-2-million-cfl-salary-cap-in-2019/ So just to recap... the Argos go over the salary cap and not only do they not get fined/penalized but they get rewarded with an extra territorial pick... Rest of the league subsidizes their losses while they pay Jim Popp $600k a year... got it.

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/05/09/us/coronavirus-cases-nursing-homes-us.html 1/3 of US cases nursing home related - good analysis of the flaws of privatized health care here The article contains a complete breakdown of percentages relating to nursing homes by state - NYT is a pretty credible source. i.e. 42% of cases in Florida are nursing home related I would very much expect the general population death rate to be higher in the states - given the fact that many people cannot even afford health care/seniors care
  17. Very good article on George Floyd... I saw some sources are starting to slag him a bit - i.e criminal past, jail time, etc... https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jun/7/george-floyd-black-lives-matter-martyr-struggled-d/

    There are no cases of community spread covid in the Yukon first nations communities or anywhere in the territories. BC has no current cases in northern FN https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/covid-19-outbreaks-in-23-first-nations-prompt-worries-1.4920181 Looks like 130 covid cases in First Nations communities a month ago... seems like most have recovered - many related to the meat packing plant in AB

    I would caution against everyone panicking about Florida, Arkansas and Texas numbers... as I stated from day one - we are lucky to have a structured response in Canada as opposed to the chaos in the US Comparing Canadian numbers (universal healthcare) with the US would be a terrible way to make policy here Minnesota numbers indicate a massive percentage of cases in nursing homes while Florida says 1 in 4... yet we were just talking about how Florida is drastically under-reporting cases The US is relying solely on private nursing homes to inform relatives and government of covid cases - if you want to think we're getting firm numbers out of the US, then go right ahead. All of my opinions and arguments are primarily based on Canadian data for Canadian solutions.
  20. That would explain the way he stands.
  21. He should be out of the hospital soon - tripped and fell.

    Covid-19

    We WANT this to happen to gain the herd immunity that we are told is non-existent... yet herd immunity occurred with every other SARS-type virus we have encountered in the last 30 years There was always going to be an increase in cases when we go back to normal... its the critical cases that we have to watch for and identify the cluster/contact tracing

    I've thought for a long time about your compassion comment... and here is my answer Lockdown is a western world privilege - so I can't meaningfully express condolences for the elderly who died here when third world lifespan is 15-20 years shorter - or when Africa is facing 300k+ more deaths from malaria - directly because we hogged all the PPE and meds in the world.... etc etc We can sit in lockdown because the govt is paying us - India, Phillipines, Malaysia... all those people were just thrown out of cities just so they are not statistics... My parents and some of my best friends are a high risk covid... however my cousin died of of cancer without a real funeral, another cousin is young but has dementia and can't have visitors and other relatives/friends are having treatments/diagnoses delayed and cancelled... I see drug deaths, people dying alone, businesses dying as slow death. national debt wracking up at a record pace etc etc... Singling out covid deaths for compassion seems meaningless... how did covid deaths become so much more important than any other deaths? I would like to know that. I would love to post information and have it dealt with the way you and Mark H respond... but that's not the world we live in (and this forum is a magnified little bubble of that)... there are posters that pick and choose small parts of an overall argument and run with it... they start labelling and distort rational debate - this is the world Trump's divisions have left us with...
