All Things COVID-19

That’s not what I read about a lot of the agreements.

Here.
-To date, the Government of Canada has allocated $1 billion for the five agreements that are in place. This includes some upfront payments that the pharmaceutical companies require to support vaccine development, testing and at-risk manufacturing.

-This investment guarantees Canada’s earliest possible place in production runs.

-Subsequent payments are contingent on the vaccines passing clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approval. All contracts Canada signs with vaccine developers contain off-ramps and exit provisions should they be required.

yes this this what I read, not that there is anything wrong with it.

this reminds me of the whole mask debate where trump tried to stop US company from suppling Canada. They all supplied Canada anyways.

Speaking of masks look for large surpluses to be on the market quite soon (!)

Remember when Trudeau was proclaiming that Canada was sending a cargo plane to get millions of masks from China but they weren’t any for Canada so the plane came back empty? Good times

I think that was in was response to Trump diverting those masks for their own country as Canada had no manufacturing capability

A few days ago Johns Hopkins published a study saying corona is nbd. They then deleted it. Read it here in its entirety.​

Johns Hopkins published this study on Sunday which posits that Covid is nowhere near the disaster we're being told it is. I would summarize it for you or offer pull-quotes but honestly you just have to read it yourself because it's mind-blowing. The original article is now deleted from the Johns...

Do a little reading on something called "excess deaths" in the US in 2020.

Canada 'not at the back of the line' for COVID-19 vaccine, Moderna chairman says​

Hopefully this dispels some of the fear-mongering that occured across the country this week.

I choose to rule out what is unlikely and not true ,what is left must be the truth how unbelievable the truth may be.

I thought China was blaming India. Maybe that was yesterday's news and today it is Italy.

I read back in March that some experts were suspecting that it was already circulating globally as early as september of 2019. It's probably in this thread somewhere lol.

I tested positive on the 10th, was released on the 20th, and I am still beyond fatigued. I have to sleep 12-15 hours a day and still take the other hours really carefully. I consider myself one of the lucky ones to not have had the extreme respiratory issues or high fevers throughout but I am still dealing with the effects and unknown how long for and what the lasting effects will be, because nobody knows this yet. I have 2 friends that contracted this in March, and another in September and each of them STILL is dealing with lung issues, breathing difficulties and energy being off. They are all in their 30's and healthy/active people.

I think BC is in deep **** if things don't turn around. We as a province can't take that number of fatalities. That really caught me off guard with the death numbers yesterday. Old age home or not. Feel bad for the families especially at Christmas. What absolute ****** time.

I was 100% sure non-essential businesses would stay open. Today not so sure anymore.

F this virus.

Bonni Henry said yesterday that the vast majority are doing a good job at following the measures. So either the case count is going to come down or they are gonna have to try something different then just people don't see anyone when you are at home.

I'm sure most are doing the same and from the people i talk to it seems that way. Go to school, go to work, go home and only see people you live with.

just going to take a few more weeks for the measures they have put in place to take effect. It takes about a month to bend the curve. If they don't work well then what's left? school and business then the lock down pain will really take effect. Deaths are a lagging indicator they were already baked into the high case count. As she says watch the 7 day rolling average for cases you want to see it come down.

I think will be okay tho just gotta give the measures time.

Lots of people who are either in denial or just don’t care!
There are lots of this going on Province Wide.
This is one example in Victoria just this weekend.
And with Christmas right around the corner, I fear it's only going to get worse!
I saw a person with a sign "God is bigger than Covid"
God help us!!
“Victoria police broke up two house parties Saturday night and issued one ticket of $230 and one ticket of $2,300 for violating the province’s COVID-19 rules.
Police Chief Del Manak said in a Twitter message that party-goers lied to police about the number of guests at the parties and tried to hide in bedrooms and closets.”

Everyone bears the health risk of the current moment. Not everyone faces losing their employment or their business. The latter deserve better thoughts, maybe more understanding, than have been shown by the better off and more comfortably situated.

Just like the post above/others you are not going change people's minds on here, or out in the world. There will always be people who blame everyone else, and have all the answers no matter what they are told.

People don't like to be inconvenienced and that is more why you are seeing these push backs, and preaching. Best thing you can do is protect yourself and your family. Ignore the people in denial. In the end really who cares anyway. They are the ones that just look ridiculous.
