I think now that it's not "new" and people are starting to realize they more than likely won't drop dead they are starting to care less and less. Personally I'm not worried about getting it, but I'm definitely worried about getting it and getting my mom or dad infected if I visited them which is why I'm still being cautious about it all.

What really surprises me is the 70s+ crowd at the stores with no mask and just not giving a fuck.

Well of course there’s more cases then ever before because developing countries in South America are now on the beginning of their curve.

Also obviously in Canada/BC the situation was never as dire as originally reported and people are feeling a level of comfort with the ways we are returning to normal.

Also as I said on the last page, people don’t give a shit about old people, you may care about YOUR old people, but if they aren’t friends of relatives then obviously people don’t care about them as is evident in the general public’s response to the care home tragedy.

You ain’t old (or maybe you even are) you ain’t sick, you don’t care to stay inside anymore.

Well, by the numbers you should be far more worried about using bad drugs than becoming gravely Ill from Covid:

Because we all have an equal chance of dying from hard drugs, like we do contracting c-19 lol

Can pretty much guarantee you there are more people with a needle in their arm or snorting rails up their noses at any given time then there have been total cases of Covid over a 4 month span.

I get that those things are within your control to some degree but the OD crisis seems like a far more pressing health concern than covid tbh at least in terms of deaths.

Nah mate. This is where I’ll sound like a prick but I’m WAY more concerned with elderly people stuck in care homes dying from covid than I am junkies in the DTES dying from hard drugs.

It's even worse when you hear about how some facilities in Ontario are so fucking disgusting. Seniors living in their own shit and piss and essentially starving to death because staff don't properly feed or clean them.

It's fucking disgusting that this is even happening in a country that's supposed to be a first world country. Thinking about how that's someone's mom/dad/grandfather/grandmother/sister/brother etc is just so fucking depressing.

This was the discussion earlier in the thread

Beside sentimental value the junkies life far outweighs the value and potential of some 85 year old getting force fed so their grandchildren can visit them imo.

However we seemingly value neither

Here we go again...

HA!^^^^fucking americans

It's funny how China keeps having to lock down cities (at least two I've heard about) and yet they've only had about 2000 new cases since March. Still can't understand that anyone could legitimately believe they're being even remotely honest about their numbers.

So basically disregard any info coming out of there.

They can’t even keep their own skewed info straight

Miami sees new record for daily cases every day for the past 3 days

I wonder if we'll see Florida cases balloon up like New York's. IIRC Florida was amongst one of the first states to open up and was one of the last to lockdown.

The way China tally their cases is very different than the rest of the world.

In US/CA, if you are tested positive, you get counted.

China, OTOH, only counts those developing pneumonia or more severe symptoms. So, they can have 1000 people testing positive, and yet only have a handful of cases are officially counted as most people simply suffer a very severe flu-like symptoms.

It's more like the usual China propaganda machine. They want to show how "well" CCP is making everything. :fuckthatshit:

Man, I had to read this like 4 times. Like what the fuck.

Just bring on the 2nd and 3rd wave already. Holy fuck. Whats taking so long??

forgot............ to self-isolate from this thread. Fuck, it's hard.

That's exactly what I was thinking of but couldn't post from my phone :lol

COVID-19 hit home for me.

A close colleague of mine whom I worked with for many years suddenly passed away yesterday from COVID-19. I was still talking to her on our weekly scheduled touch points up until last week. She told me she'd decided to take a week off to recuperate, only for us to find out yesterday she instead actually checked herself into the hospital and died last night.

We don't know where she may have gotten it, or how, but she leaves behind her two daughters and her husband, and now they are all in isolation until further notice. She was only 48 too. What a sad way to go.

Stay safe, everyone.
