OT: Coronavirus XVIII: Some Vaccines Are Entering the Home Stretch for Sizable Human Testing Trials

There's a hockey game on, go watch it. (sic)

I felt (sic) watching the 3rd period last night.

Am I doing this rightly?

'Too many are selfish': U.S. nears 5 million virus cases


US hit 5 million cases today.

Well, pulled the plug on our season tickets at the Mayfield Inn and Stage West today after several delays and credits offered. Long time ticket holders, and despite them opening up again this fall and taking as many measures as they possibly can, short of wrapping all customers in hazmat suits, none of us wanted to take the chance of transmission, and I suspect we will not be alone. Not to mention the fact, if we go out, not a lot of fun to be all masked up. And finally, you never know if they'll go into receivership in a year or so, and we get nothing back. Same thought process will happen for restaurants once the "summer patio season" is over. Take out only. I would have to think at least half of the restaurants will fold this winter, as less and less people come in. Only the ones with strong takeout/pickup policies will make it, and that will become the new normal. The weak will disappear.

yes

The government may print money, and apparently you think it's an endless stream, if you keep building up debt, it will get to the point where you are unable to even keep up with the interest payments, and there will be LESS money for cirtical programs, or even none at all.

I never claimed it was endless. Stop making stuff up.

At some point it has to slow down. You can't have everything you want. You need to priortize.

I fully agree.

Alberta (47) – Health officials announced 47 new cases, 93 recoveries and two deaths.
Tracking every case of COVID-19 in Canada

Always astonishes me how there are different numbers depending where you look

That's a tough choice both for you and the staff and entertainers. A buddy works that type of circuit in Vancouver and it's tough at the best of times. Hope they can keep going as we've been to the Mayfield a number of times over the last 35 years or so. Starting when I was a teen.

I was curious if we were going to see a couple low days due to the long weekend and less(assumption) people going to get testerd.

Just under 8000 tests too. First time in a while under 1%

I don't get how the calculate everything.

From people I know that got tested they were told 2-5 days or 3-5 days for results. So do we actually know how many tests are associated with the new cases?

It was tough, and then, it wasn't. I mentioned to them, that when this is all over, we will definitely be back, as we really enjoy the top notch entertainment. I only hope we have something to come back to.

I know it's talked about before, but there are a lot of restaurants that should close. There were many struggling pre-covid. Too many people don't know what they are doing in the business world.

I do think the one positive is that in a year from now once places are shut down and vacant, people that are willing to put in the hard work should be able to open a business easier. Meaning some of these ridiculous rent prices should drop

Yeah I'd rather see some bad options out there giving people jobs.
