Maybe that's the rationale behind the corona parties? To "get it over with"?

I can understand why some people think that way as we are all growing impatient, but even if the risk is relatively low with me, I'd rather not play it if I have the choice, and it's not hard to avoid it if you pay some attention.

I definitely empathize with the feeling that people have of just wanting this to be over. It's an understandable reaction, but you really have to put some more thought into it if you're seriously considering it.

If everyone decided to infect themselves at once, we'd have an Italy or Wuhan on our hands, as hospitals would be crushed under the load.

Currently, as much as there's anecdotes of people out and about, Canadians are handling this pretty well by the looks of it, sticking to the stay-at-home directions. I just hope we can get masks into the hands of most of the population so when people DO go out (whatever their reason may be) it can be contained as much as possible.

So I wouldn't call someone "stupid" for thinking this way. If they were to act upon it though, that's another story...

It's easy for me and many others to say "just stay home, stop complaining" of course, since we have privileges like being able to live comfortably at home for weeks on end, having a partner to keep company with, etc. So I am not going to judge people who are distressed from this. Yes, others have it MUCH harder, the ones who are on the frontlines risking their lives, but for many even staying put is challenging. Not everyone is built the same way, that goes for physically as well as mentally. So I don't like some of the 'gatekeeping' I see. It's not frivolous to complain about having to stay home - cabin fever is a very real thing. Hang in there though.

Thereve actually been people trying to organize corona parties like they do with chickenpox :rukidding:

I kind of hesitate when ordering food too, in case there’s a psycho out there deciding to cough/spit/lick food they’re preparing to “help” infect ppl as there has been with pox :heckno:

Freshco in Richmond

And Safeway on king Edward have infected employees

Alberta woman in her 20s dies of COVID-19 becoming youngest reported death in Canada

There's an RS member currently in need of some testicles, if anyone gets a couple defective masks maybe pass them along.

Really you should be treating take out food the same as groceries + reheat it til it's steaming.

Jump to 10:35 for the bit about takeout.

Safest place to shop in Richmond is now Freshco then, with majority of people now avoiding it ...

Okay, I seen a lot of stupid homemade / "creative" masks over these few weeks. But this is just a whole new level...

Canada's federal government spent the majority of this outbreak focused on 'not stigmatizing the virus'.
The rest was spent following the CCP controlled WHO's directive.
Here's a comprehensive timeline. Grab some popcorn and have a read.

And here we are.

Yes just about everyone but Taiwan, Singapore, Macau, Korea, and the citizens of Hong Kong reacted to this wrong.

Canada did what they were "supposed to do". They listened to the WHO. That's who you should take issue with for now.

That does raise the question though; if you KNOW what your country is doing wrong, what do you do about it? In Hong Kong the citizens rose up and got the borders closed. In Canada, I was here arguing with people that this was serious shit, it's all in this thread on record. But most people were like the government - if WHO isn't saying it's serious, we're not going to listen to you. I went through the same thing on another forum, though they were much more receptive. But I went through it with friends on facebook, and then about masks until CDC and WHO finally agreed with the science.

Hindsight is 20:20 though right?

But nothing was at the same level of clusterfuck as the US if you read the tweets I posted...

Quarantine lifted, it's safe to go out now! BrokeBack

What the fuck, even if it's safe to go, why would you want to with so many people geez

So can you blame the government, now? People just being stupid.

Cabinfever is a real!!
Everybody just couldn't wait to get back out.

Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the U.S. Timeline. As you can see, comparing dates, they took action, imposing proactive measures long before, and, that Canada, to this day, have not imposed.

And i know i don't need to tell you that comparing their figures to ours as a x10 equation would be ridiculous given the nature of exponential growth. You already know this.
If they had acted in the manner Canada has, their figures would likely be much much greater.

Many states still don't have shelter in place orders. April 1st trump told people to use a scarf. Today Theresa Tam said there is no scientific proof that homemade masks work. trump has said and done multiple things that have put people in danger.

Stupid people all around the world. I think the same thing happened here a few weeks back with Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge or something.. had droves of people going for a hike during the initial lockdown.

Dumb knows no boundaries.





Side note. This was a good listen
Guy nails it home with my line of thought lol. I ain't crazy from loneliness:alone:

Sweden is taking a different approach. Let's see how that goes.

FCK. lost my sense of taste...

1. ordered a mcdonalds hot fudge sundae and the hot fudge tasted like shit with bad aftertaste..blamed the mcdonalds
2. just got a bunch of oranges that had absolutely no taste..yet my wife says they are sweet and delicious.

wtf...

Love it when a Orange man bad idiot is caught so desperately grasping for straws to defend his opinion.

You are a special kind of libtard. If he told you to go drink water it's good for you , you'd wind up overdosing on it just to prove him wrong.

Dumb housewives are gathering at the street corner to chitchat in close proximity today here too smh

Shit shouldn't taste good though LOL. Not that I ever tried it. Jokes aside.

Try eating some other types of food to make sure? Cuz like everyone taste buds are different. E.g. Food that tastes salty to my mom tastes bland as fuck to my dad, different taste buds.

The guy should be speaking facts not just whatever pops into his head.

The guy has done a shit job and most people know it.

Here's our minister of health STILL defending the CCP and calling claims of their LIES "conspiracy theories" EVEN AFTER the U.S. Released the findings that anyone with a brain in their skull knew was hogwash for months.
CCP WHO bootlicking:
