The last one is half hearted. Our constitution doesn't allow for them to put the regions into lockdown (thankfully) but people will go outside of those regions to access the services that are closed.

Saskatchewan recorded 34 new cases yesterday, but 13 of those are from one gospel meeting in Prince Albert. The numbers are going up, regardless.

Yep, although Taiwan has 70% the population of Canada crammed into a tiny island close to mainland China, and look at how well they did.
Doesn't Taiwan have a more mask wearing culture and did so from the onset? I think that is wear many western countries messed up, not encouraging/requiring masks from the onset and social distancing as they do seem to work. |

Understand from my niece that Montreal has put its citizens under house arrest to combat the virus. She was lucky and escaped to Ontario just before the mandate.

I haven't read anything about Montreal placing all citizens under house arrest - only those who have tested positive or refused to isolate / limit the number of people in the house etc., although they are at Level 4 - which is worrying. I strongly suspect there will be rules put in place for anyone entering Ontario, that they must quarantine - similar to Nova Scotia - (I wish there already was - that's how this thing is spreading) - below is from Sept 30th, it may have been updated since :( https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montr...d-19-1.5745046The new restrictions take effect 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday and are set to last for 28 days, until Oct. 28, in the red zones. The restrictions are:

I wrote earlier about how Campbellton, NB was put back into Orange (from Yellow) and how when Moncton had a (care home) 'outbreak, people were complaining that Moncton should have gone Orange too, even though it wasn't really comparable.

They're seemingly unable to differentiate between one outbreak and four. As it happens, the government has just announced that Moncton area will go back to Orange for the time being. I think this is a sop to those in the northern part of the province where the government won not a single seat in the recent election and where the Premier recently got into trouble for saying a lampshade could get elected up there. :lol: Sop or not it appears that people are now being discouraged from travelling here, from within the province or outside. That should cut down the numbers of people bringing covid into the province. :thumbup: ;) |

The lack of brain activity in some CBC comments is something to behold.
Why can I buy cannabis but my son can't play sports. Why can I buy beer but not get a haircut. Why can strip bars open. |

People appear to be making moral judgements rather than considering relevant stuff like prolonged, close contact, heavy breathing (in sports not watching a stripper :lol:) as opposed to brief contact, from distances or behind barriers. "They tell you that you can go to a pub and have a pie in front of you but you can't go to a pub and have a pint in front of you. "It's all a big joke and that's why people aren't adhering to it because they don't believe what the government are telling them because it makes no sense." |

Can't speak for your neck of the woods, but in the UK business owners are getting really fed up, and quite rightly so.

Unless they're in an area with special measures, isn't the only pub restriction closing earlier at 10.00pm?
The Liverpool City Region will be placed under ''very high'' coronavirus alert from Wednesday 14 October. This means pubs and bars there cannot open unless they ''operate as if they were a restaurant'' and serve ''substantial'' meals. Alcohol can only be served as part of those meals. |
Re: Coronavirus
549 cases announced in BC today, but keep in mind this isn't for a single day, but over a 4 day period as they don't update on weekends or holidays.
Positivity rate remains very low at 1.39 per cent. Over 10,000 testing being done daily. |
