Another lockdown=less riding?
- Thread starter ungoloth
- Start date
I'm not going to try and teach you what Science is and how it works. You should have learned that in high school. Any more misinformation and you are going on a vacation from GTAM.
I think the evolving and conflicting directions and advice we've received is a product of both an evolving and developing knowledge of the virus and the mutations (science) tempered through political lenses.
Shoulda-woulda-coulda & wish-they-hads raise valid issues in some cases (tougher border measures for instance) but have little positive impact on the day-to-day management of our lives during a pandemic. You can argue about the severity of the virus for different age groups and the appropriate measures that should be implemented to minimize the effects, but you can't deny or ignore the seriousness of the situation.
I get discouraged like many do at the vociferousness and intractability of people with opinions on either side. "Lock 'em all in their houses!", or "Back to normal cause it's not a big deal!" are equally bad ideas.

You know what buddy, I did took science in high school, it's about observation and results. If surgeons have used masks to protect patients from their microbes in open surgeries for DECADES, and masks have been used with great efficiency in the Ebola outbreaks in the Congo, then THEY DO WORK. Now comes a "top doc" telling me they don't (she changed her mind now I think). Have you asked her if she took science in high school? Many people here are afraid you will ban them that's why they keep silent and don't say anything. You come here to threaten me but yet you don't question why a top doc said that masks don't work. You even defend her, even though she DID spread malicious desinformation, something that you accuse me of for posting a Youtube video of her blunders.
A hot glowing object burns. We all know that. Then a strange glowing red-hot object falls from the sky, I don't need to wait for months to tell you that you will need gloves to touch it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. The same thing with Covid, its an airborne disease, of course you need masks to stop the spread, I don't need months of "science" to know that.
Good call starting off a reply to a well respected member and moderator with “You know what buddy...”
I’m also glad you “did took science in high school”
LOL
Oh, she cracks me up!

I'm not sure about you, but when a doctor is presented with new or updated information, I for one am glad updated recommendations and measures are advised by the them afterwards. Instead of being stubborn and staying on the original idea regardless of new and more up to date info, which may contradict or expand on the previous information.
But maybe that's just me...

Some idiot decided to steal my cart because I took the last pack of chicken ?

Once again i am NOT your buddy!
Look up "the scientific method". Learn it. Apply it.
Some of your posts have entertainment value. The last thing i want to do is make GTAM's total membership smaller. Behave yourself.
Lock downs don't work?.....horsepucky.

Lockdowns and contact tracing work well when fully enforced.

Youngest kid will probably be swamped and burnt out. He's closing the paint counter at the Home Depot today.
I got a couple of hundred kilometres in last year, riding around the block, when we were allowed.
Will probably end up the same this year, being as how we're in perpetual lockdown. Am I the stupid one?

This is not a lockdown. We have not had a lockdown yet. They keep saying that word but I do not think they know what it means.

I was out today picking up a few essentials. I noticed NO difference at all except a few lineups outside of a few stores now...and restaurant patios empty.
If anything it seemed to me that it was BUSIER at the 2 places I actually went into.
Sure glad I'm getting my first shot tomorrow. This mockdown is a hopeless lost cause.
Then you should know that science chances with new information.
The last 12 months has been a furious race to learn everything about something we'd never seen before and in the early stages statements and decisions were made upon the best information available at that point in time. As we learned more about Covid those statements and policies changed accordingly..
Just because doctors said that smoking was perfectly fine ("Healthy" even) in the 40's doesn't mean that they still say that.
Why this is so different than March.

The frustration for all Canadians is you have 10 shots for every person and **** all is getting in arms.
‘Let’s try a different approach.’ Restaurant owner urges government to pursue more targeted restrictions after spending $10,000 for Easter weekend
The Ontario government had lifted restrictions on patio dining after months in lockdown, but it was shut down again as part of the third province-wide pandemic lockdown.

Oh they know....they’re just unwilling to push it to that level.
Douggie subrscribes to the Costanza motto “if you believe it to be true, it is”
say the word lockdown enough, and you’ll fool yourself.
@MacDoc we ORDERED 10 shots for every person, but actually having them and ready to inject is the issue.

Lockdown means locking everything and everyone down,with very few exceptions.
Got pretty quiet there, Peggy. Nothing else to add, buddy?
