Lol...I guess just tell your grandma to wear a mask and social distance. Problem solved, right!?
Not my grandma, apparently. Your grandma. Especially if she's a big fan of walmart and mcdonalds.

You want me to figure out how to control the virus? Lol
It's already been figured out brother. You've just been fighting it like crazy.
Check it.
Wear a mask, social distance, suck it up and come to grips with the fact that life is not what it used to be.
Life is not what it used to be. Deal with it, or own your selfishness.
Well that's odd. Lol..all good.you have my name quoted but I never said that. Lol

Are you marginal or something? If you can't understand the dillemma Kriss E's grandparents are facing you probably don't know much about human interactions.
You want to stay in your basement until there is absolutely zero risk? Seeing nobody until the virus is completely gone? Do it. But there are going to be consequences to that. Don't expect to reconnect your life where you left it when the pandemic first began. And it's that much more true for elderly people.
If it's their choice, this is not selfish. It's about spending the last years of you lives living for something.
I think he’s implying it’s selfish to put people in a position where they have to choose.
My parents would die for me so if I was out partying and being at risk they’d take the risk.
But knowing that they would and me still putting myself at risk to get it would say something about me wouldn’t it?
That's not how I read it. He called his grandma selfish. I think he pretty clearly expressed his thoughts. Then again I might not be getting some subtility in what he wrote. But it seemed pretty clear to me.

Cases have skyrocketed in BC in the last couple weeks after being one of the success stories for a long time relative to other populated Canadian provinces.
The last count I saw was 567 new cases. The rise is currently exponential.
South Korea: 51 millions
Canada: 38 millions
Current 7/day SK: 113
Current 7/day Canada: 3896
SK cases: 27553
Canada cases: 264113
SK deaths: 480
Canada deaths: 10522
Country hit earlier with a bigger population density hit dramatically less than us and still beating us easily.
Muh liberties (Montréal est pas une ville policière or some shit) and recklessness cost thousands of lives.
As I said, shut it all off or don't. Pick one. Legault said after declaring Mtl as a red zone area that we would have to see a steady decline with daily cases around 600 for a week before getting back in orange.
So their strategy to target the smaller industries to accomplish this was a massive failure.
Not only that, he refuses to work with certain attorney firms because he says he doesn't want to work with "cancel culture". He's a f****** public servant, not some dictator.
They can die from COVID. They can also die from cancer, a heart attack or an accident. Spending months being careful about COVID only to end up missing precious moments with your grandchildren and dieing from something else would defeat the whole purpose to be cutting all those social interactions to begin with.
The virus' ability to mutate to the extent that it did is somewhat scary. To me it signifies there is a chance that, if developed countries refuse to lock it all down like NZ did and also refuse to long-term plan economic recovery at-large (resulting in massive currency devaluation - potentially), we could be living with COVID forever. The man preparing my pizza at Little Caesar's will always wear a face shield from here on out, schooling will never be the same etc etc etc etc.
Apparently the pfizer vaccine is 90% effective (which would be a good news)
Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine: Early analysis shows it's 90% effective, company says - CNN
Listening to morning radio, they said Pfizer would like to have 50-million doses available by the end of the year. That is obviously best case scenario, so early 2021 (maybe around Spring?) could be somewhere where we can set our expectations.

Great news to start the week. Still got to hold on a while longer but there's hope.
That's pretty much right on schedule right?
I find strange this advocating for doing what the hell an old person wants because they are near the end of their life.
There is an obvious cost to that, and the issue is not with their lives in this case.
Everybody has to sacrifice some, to get some benefits. There is a collective part of this problem that can't be forgotten in these decisions. How many old people are dying right now in Vietnam? That number is zero, because they have maximized their collective actions (with some gusto for sure).
Let's say this virus is 50% collective responsibility and 50% personal responsibility. I understand the arguments for some personal risk-taking, in some situations, but it has always to be balanced with the collective well being.
A sick patient isn't an endpoint, it's an endpoint, a start point and a mutation point.
There's still questions that need to be answers first.
Efficacity is one thing, safety is another.
And I can't overlook the timing of the announcement...we'll see.
Still a good news overall.
