Noeller Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hopefully things are "locked down" as much as possible with our Hutterian friends, and the daily updates will just feature "general public" cases, which should be much lower....

Unfortunately it is due to the stupidity of the general public. There was no rational reason to attack the Asian community in Canada for causing the "Wuhan" virus, yet it happened anyways (more in the states, but there were stories here). Similarly, identifying an outbreak on a Hutterite colony stigmatizes Hutterites. Saying an outbreak occurred in Brandon doesn't have the same effect, because a Brandon resident wandering around in public isn't as readily identifiable, otherwise I am sure people would crap on them too.

It is discriminatory because it leads to stigmatization. There are 3 Hutterite colonies with Covid 19 cases in Manitoba, but some people act like there’s 100 colonies infected. I’ll probably only experience it online, as we have no reasons for essential travel and will be staying home.

Tight as a drum, according to what I have been hearing. One colony is having a funeral where only members of that colony will be able to attend.

Well, just like the asshat Mayor of Kelowna yesterday telling non residents to stay away as he doesn't want anyone bringing the virus in. The idiot doesn't realize that his citizens travel & they may have brought cases in themselves as the city has 150,000 people. And the dumbass twentysomethings just have to still party & ignoring social distancing... But blame all the out of towners for their trouble. Get the locals all worked up against anyone with an out of province license plate. People from BC are so holier than thou stuck up pieces of ****.

Except you obviously were not 'tight as a drum' when the rest of the province was... you are not 'forced' to live communally - you do it by choice and yes you are doing it the best that you can - but you have a religious exemption that has now caused a spike and is now affecting everyone else who did obey the rules. This is not persecuting a culture - its dealing with a relgious group's exemption that has now ****** the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do some shaming 🤔 Again - through all of covid - rational arguments have to deal with these outlier arguments... of course no store should say 'no hutterite allowed'... but if we are keeping with covid rules then everyone in an infected hutterite colony should have to quarantine for two weeks if they leave that colony. We do it province by province... why allow covid to spread from a known cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We followed the public health orders just like everyone else did, it was a few exceptions that messed up. We ate at home, we did not eat or worship communally until the public orders said we could. Our school was closed, other than Highschool, which was already a remote learning format. I am tired of your blanket statements - this is my final response - so you may as well stop baiting me.

There are a total of 5 colonies infected, 3 of which took immediate action and kept the virus contained to 1 or 2 individuals. Fingers crossed that everyone can recover in the two more seriously infected communities. The symptoms we are hearing about show just how dangerous and unpredictable this virus is. Some had a stomach flu that lasted for about a week. Others described a horrible flu, where for a couple of days you wondered if you would pull through. Others got tested due to contact tracing, tested positive, but were asymptomatic. Wideleft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
