OT: Covid-19 (Part 17) When the World is Running Down...

[llamateizer]

My friend's symptoms have gone better.
he's getting tested in an hour. he just got the call.

initially, his case was in the wrong region. He lives in Estrie but it was in Monteregie. he had to call for a follow up (was expecting a call yesterday).

Let's go!

Why the f*** this is still a thing.

This guy probably came direct from the demonstration in Michigan.

Ontario tested 17.000+ yesterday.
For the last 5 days they tested more than 11,000 per day.

For weeks, they kept saying Ontario numbers will go up once they starts testing more…..they didn't.

And why is Legault still repeating how Qc is testing more?

Darwin must be grinning.

Sorry for the false hope ^^ .
But I think the number of recovered is way higher than declared.

Let's see if the number of testing increase will be shown this week

Well... it goes without saying that, if the number of cases is higher than declared, then the number of recovered is also higher.
Not to mention that, in order to get considered "recovered", apparently, you have to get a negative test, and not everyone goes for those further tests.

(I also learned that two rather close friends of mine probably had it, that I was around them while they were sick. That was more than two months ago).

And why is Legault still repeating how Qc is testing more?

One would think that a Test isn't considered a Test until a result is available. That would imply SOME lag at the very least.
(Sorry if it makes no sense. It sounds great in my head)

 

[OnTheRun]

And why is Legault still repeating how Qc is testing more?

He's referring to tests per 100k pop.
Ontario: ~2175
Quebec: ~2819

I understood. There is a big lag though..if Ontario is indeed testing 11K daily...Quebec is more around 5K...

There really is no set standards I guess, everyone does it differently.

Legault (or Arruda) said that testing capacity would be increased to something like 14K by early May. This may, or not, have started, but if it did, that wouldn't show until those results are available.

We were testing more, but in the last 2 weeks it's simply not true anymore.
As to why he's saying that….who knows, but couple of things he said lately were just not true.

they were rationing the test kits in order to increase the backlog. That's the main reason. Arruda said it in one of a press.

they went over 100k tests available.

I agree. But if we reopen now, we are giving up on trying to control the spread of the virus. The government admits this. Are you ok with that?

What happens to our parents? When can vulnerable people rejoin society if we are consistently growing in infection rates, 3000+ every day?

The political actuaries don't care about protecting people with above average risk. We know this is a fact merely by observing the extremely substandard care in many "full care" senior's facilities.

Ya, they also did they would raise the test to 8K back in March but they never really did.
Hopefully we do get to that 14K count and the numbers of positive don't rise as they expect.

He's taking too many days off maybe..

You have the mafia in Montreal or do you mean organized crime in general?

Both. Organized crime is usually controlled by the mafia.

We do have the mafia in Southern Quebec/Ontario. It's the Rizzuto, they're all buddy buddy with the Bonnano from NY.

I believe the vaccine will take about 5 years because this thing has the the potential to hit everything inside the body and is very inconsistent in what symptoms show up, so the weeding out the many potential complications will take time and very many studies.. It isn't just the lungs, but the heart, skin, etc. By then, what will be "The Great Purge" would have already been completed and the economies would have restarted well before year 5. Currently, the needs of the many is that health needs to be preserved, but eventually, people will run out of money and the needs of the many will be more economic than health-related.

Why would that affect the development period of a vaccine?

How's your dad? Have you been able to visit yet?

Dad is doing really well, thanks for asking. Visitation is still not allowed, but soon they'll allow visits to the outside of the building - a staff member will bring him down in a wheelchair and we can be together in the courtyard.

It started two weeks ago for residential projects.
