So that person's criticism that you can have a pie but not a pint is actually incorrect. ;) Here we had the outbreak at the special care home - residents/staff/close contacts - and a potential exposure in three places because one of the staff or close contacts had visited those three places when asymptomatic (and possibly not a carrier anyway, just someone self isolating because of the care home connection). Someone then complains that there were infections at those places and they're still open. It's either people not reading or listening properly or just accepting what they hear without checking themselves. |

I wouldn't hold my breath in anticipation of the borders reopening soon.

Record daily infections cropping up the world over, 9.00 pm curfews in several cities in France.
It's not going away. |

https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/trudeau-...drop-1.1508077 Does that mean he may look to actually stick a middle finger up to trump and allows NZ/Aus etc in prior to the US?? Expect Britain will be back of the queue as we're in a mess I think, although I still don't really know. |

Labour have been very vocal about a total lock down and when we see people being interviewed on the street it amazes me how many will say things like "the government need to lock us all down and get firm with people" I wonder if they are living in some dream world where the government pays everyone to sit at home for as long as it takes and we all live happily ever after. Even the WHO have now come out and said lock downs are not the answer and they cause too many other issues. So what is the answer?

Keep people locked up all winter and people will die. Perhaps not from COVID, but other reasons. Open up the economy and enforce masks and people will still die. Deaths here in my part of BC are very low, If I was a small business owner I'd be prepared to risk it. I am in favour of keeping the OAP homes locked down though. Those poor buggers bear the brunt of this horrible virus. |

That is exactly what I was going to write. Consider your mask as a vaccine and remove the restrictions. It's a lose - lose situation whatever happens.

Covid — the illness you have to be dead to die of. |
