OT: Covid-19 (Part 21) Come Together

[peate]

Looks nice but wonder if over time the white might show more use.

Makes you want to wash your hands more.

This was your last post since the gathering all ok?

Hi, man. Yes, hahahaha! All is good. Didn't have time to post. But I lurked.

Outaouais has gone a bit bad. Résidences La Gappe, which is a private old folks home (pretty expensive one, condo-like building) is a shitshow right now : 25 cases, including many employees. I suspect last Mother's Day is the cause.

Here, at work, some say we will be opening some offices in about 2 weeks to a month. They want to bring 30% of the workforce back. I doubt 30% of the employees will want to get back to work in the office.

What do you think of the inside of this Mercedes?

Too white? I don't think I've ever seen a white steering wheel before. I kinda like it. With the grey it really glows.

Did you break into the car of one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

L’Outaouais was doing so good at one point.

What do you attribute that to? Undetected cases at the time?

That's not going to work everywhere. There's zero chance everyone follows rules like that in Quebec, guaranteed.

I mean..I'm pretty sure there are rulebreakers everywhere, including in SF.
Most people would respect this, I don't see why not. I went to Westmount park on sunday and it was pretty much that. Just make the circles a little bigger to allow more friends to be together and you're good.
In NDG yesterday, people respecting distancing while in line at Starbucks and DQ.
Grabbed an iced latte from Starbucks, they allow one person at a time to come in where they meet you behind a plexiglass screen by the entrance. They take your order, your card/cash, go in...come back with receipt and drink. Half the people were wearing masks outside in line.

People and businesses are not as careless as you seem to think.

We've now reached 20 days with no new confirmed cases here in NL. We currently have 2 active cases with 1 in hospital and 1 at home recovering.

While this is great news the province received some terrible news yesterday with the loss of 4 crab fishermen to the sea. They have recovered 3 of the fishermen who were all from the same family (father, son, and nephew) while the other fishermen is still missing. Condolences to all affected.

So sad, especially since this was already going to be a difficult season for the industry. My sympathies to all.

Uh yeh, anyone that’s been to SF knows it’s far from the clean city that that one picture portrays. I’ve never seen so many human feces and needles on the ground.

541 new cases today
89 deaths ( how many in the last 24 hours no clue)
223 new cases in Montréal
Icu up 3
hospitlizations down (25 less)

Does it really matters how many deaths in the last 24Hrs?

I hate when Legault used that excuses lately cause they tried to make it look better to save their asses…..
Only 39 deaths today, great day
Well, there's 85 deaths today but only 48 in the last 24hrs, so it's not bad

Which mean, the "great day" of 39 deaths was not a great day after all cause those uncounted deaths comes from someday which look good back then.

Quebec has now 497 deaths per millions people
USA has 304 deaths per millions people

Can't get out of my head that Legault said in the beginning of this pandemic that they should be judge by the number of deaths and not the numbers of cases. Well, we're one of the worst place in the world

Yes it's very sad. The sea can be very unforgiving.

If you are going to compare Quebec to the USA it would seem better to compare Canada to the USA or NYC to Quebec? That’s just sensational number crunching.

Not just any centipedes. It’s the ones from a certain condo unit only ...

 

[llamateizer]

thats quite interesting
3months formation 21$/hr
then 26$/hr working


honestly for a public work. that's really good

 

[dinodebino]

Carelessness.

Now, because local media has been panicking, people seem to be more prudent (60-70% of people wearing masks at the Metro just about 10 minutes ago). But for very long, nothing was happening and people were careless. I wrote about it here.

Yeah, caught another one yesterday in my kitchen sink. Barf.

People need to stop the comparisons. For all we know, Qc overshoots the number of COVID related deaths and the USA undershoots them. We just don't know.
It's going to take a long time before really knowing which places were truly hit the worst and even then, we might never know.

Personally, if our cases are around 500-600 despite increased testing I'm happy, if this doesn't go up after starting to deconfine, I'll be very encouraged.

Exactly. We are comparing numbers that aren’t even calculated in the same way and often are probably under reported elsewhere. I’ve been saying this since the beginning.

They need to keep hitting that nail on the head. Keep giving them away at metro stops, keep promoting local brands that develop them, etc...more and more people are wearing masks so it's helping.

Hmmmm okay.....but does that change anything to the fact that enough is enough at some point?

Let's hope you are encourage.....500-600 cases a day means 50,000 minimum in the next 3 months (Told you that) if the numbers of cases doesn't drop. We'll see.

What’s your point? Of course, enough is enough. It’s said. What does that do?

 

[Kriss E]

Exactly. We are comparing numbers that aren’t even calculated in the same way and often are probably under reported elsewhere. I’ve been saying this since the beginning.

I think at some point Legault said any death coming from CHSLDs is automatically counted as COVID related. Not sure but for some reason I have this in my head.
He definitely did say though the way they counted the cases was assuming anyone showing symptoms who's been in contact with someone positive was right away classified as positive as well.
