FrostyWinnipeg Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 3 hours ago, Tracker said: A friend's mom was in the Maples nursing home and family was told this afternoon that she has been taken ill with COVID and is not expected to survive. Soon, there will be many families touched by this plague. Pallister started off well in handling this, but the scope of the crisis has overwhelemed his and Freisen's abilities to cope. Their response so far is to attack concerned physicians- a bad move. As others have said, they saw what happened in other provinces and.... 3 hours ago, Brandon said: So no getting cans of cherry coke for a long while then =\ At this point Amaretto coffee creamer can only be delivered by drone to Gretna. 21 minutes ago, Tracker said: 48% of the voters have said this will make no difference whatsoever.

JCon Posted November 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 13 hours ago, Noeller said: Getting Joe Biden into the highest office will go a long way to America getting their **** together re:COVID. Having someone that listens to doctors can only help.... We're still two months away from that, unfortunately. But, Dems are putting the Covid stimulus bill back into play. Senate may be forced to vote for it or risk getting hurt at the polls in Georgia on January 5th. They won't like it but they won't want lose control. Stimulus cheques going out now to help those affected by the lockdowns and the hurting economy might win some votes. Of course, Trump may burn the whole party down as he exits the White House. I'm curious to see how that affects the January 5th runoff. Burn, baby, burn. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Anyone expecting the GOP/Qanon/white supremacist bloc to pivot and throw their arms around Biden will be very disappointed. There is a bedrock of these miscreants and if Trump's conduct and that of his administration has not revulsed them over the past four years, it simply will not happen. If Biden and the Democrats spin their wheels trying to placate this lot, they will betray the hopes of those who wanted someone/something better than Trump and doom themselves. The more things change, the more they remain the same, and cultures are very slow to change. Each generation of haters infects the suceeding generation. Biden and the Democrats would be far better served to aggressively pursue and agenda of healthcare, green energy and voter empowerment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just basing it on the new restrictions that were put forth at the beginning of the week, it's not a complete lockdown but I'm hopeful that it will be enough to lower the cases, if people follow the restrictions and are vigilant with masks, sanitizing and washing hands religiously and if they can get a handle on the care homes and hospitals then there is no reason that the next cycle of cases with be much less, well at least I hope so.

From what I've heard, some of the newest cases have been due to adult rec leagues where people aren't really following the guidelines and/or going out for a beer after their games. Crappy that the kids have to suffer because a bunch of adults are irresponsible. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 I wish their was a way they could fine these ding dongs and take all that money from the fines and redistribute them to local owned businesses struggling in these times. Taking 1000 dollars from an idiot and giving it to a ma and pa store would go a long way for helping them stay around.

Tracker Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Very bad news. This shows that the recent spate of infections and deaths are not an aberration, but a trend that is approaching a flashpoint. The Tories' response is too little and way too late.
