My concern is the 10,928 people currently ordered to stay home - I mean that's a pretty damn big number.
How many actually will, and where's the enforcement - and the consequences if you're caught breaking it?

There’s actually some positives in the numbers.
Taken from Reddit:
1/ The numbers are roughly the same for each of the three days, meaning perhaps growth has stalled out.
2/ Compared to past weekend numbers, the weekend over weekend growth rate is the lowest for several months. It's still going up, and that's bad, but it's beginning to slow down.
3/ The number of people added to active surveillance is less than the number of people who got COVID. This is a reversal of the state we saw most of last week, where the pool of potentially sick people was growing faster than it was draining (by people either exiting active monitoring without COVID or having their diagnosis confirmed).
4/ The number of active cases increased by MUCH less than the number of new cases.

No more excuses, yo. If those people still refuse to wear face shield, they should be hauled away in a paddy wagon.
I’m glad businesses are taking the lead. After-all, it’s in their best interest. Protect their employees and avoid shut down of entire region.

Richmond Costco, though previously not a rule, had a solid 90% mask/shield compliance for members, and 100% of the staff (for months). That being said I hear the other Costco’s don’t have as vigilant members, most likely due to the racial make-up of each Costco location.
Still leagues better than Walmart/superstore etc where they don’t even enforce their employees to wear masks...

Gonna have to be a "dummy" and start wearing gloves. Hand sanitizer is not 100% effective. Unless they have hand washing stations there, not shopping there anymore. If enough people complain, something will be done.
Time to get some Karen's involved.

We were below 600 daily cases most of last week, and just over 600 a day by Friday, and the weekend brought us up to the mid 600s for daily cases... That's not a positive, that's a record breaking day each day of the weekend
Plus 9 people died over the weekend, we haven't had anything like that in months?

If you insisted not wearing one, they just let you in. I don't think I've seen many non maskers, if any at all, during the times I've been at the two Costco's in my area.

For reference, on average, over 12k people are hospitalized and 3.5k people die from the flu each year (numbers for Canada)
Not saying covid is fake (far from it), but I think our reactions would be much less severe if flu numbers were released on a daily basis in the past.

Death rate for flu in Canada: 500-1500 per year (source: infection prevention and control Canada)
Covid deaths in Canada so far: 11,027 Quote:

I'm genuinely curious though, what will happen if not enough of the population are willing to take a vaccine when it becomes available.
Confidence in it appears to be waning. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/...n-3-months-ago

If not enough of the population take it, we simply won't get herd immunity.
So anyone that does not take it is at risk of getting COVID and does not get passive protection.

As i understand it, if not enough of the population take it, the vaccine will be ineffective.
Or is that incorrect?

Kind of like there's a flu virus, and not many people take it. The ones that do are protected, but so many people don't that the flu just sticks around.
It also tells us how hard it will be to eradicate covid. The one thing covid deniers get right is that there should have been incentive to eradicate the flu, since most are shocked to find out how many people it kills. But the incentive was never there, because it was never out of control like covid.
To be able to get rid of covid, absolutely the huge majority of the world's population has to take a vaccine. There is definitely going to be a lot of effort to make that happen, and there's going to be a lot of resistance against it (some of it actually warranted IMO).
Although the 2 trials showed promising results so far, we are a long, long way from actually putting them to use.
All just IMO, I could be totally wrong here.

Also even though 90+% effectiveness is great, if you get the vaccine you're not guaranteed it worked fully. So you can be vaccinated but there's still a chance you'll get it if you don't have the additional protection of herd immunity.
I'm already annoyed enough by all the crap other people are putting us through with their selfishness so I'd be doubly pissed to get a vaccine but still get COVID because we can't get herd immunity. If that did happen it might be the point I'd consider moving.

Businesses can do their part once vaccine rolls out to incentivize getting it . Want to get on a plane? Show your vaccine card. Want to watch a movie in the theatre? Show your vaccine card. Eat at a crowded chain restaurant like Earls/Cactus/Joeys? Card!
