I guess those kids won't get to go to school....Bigger concern are the lunatics that are completely opposed to vaccines, particularly for kids.
I always evaluate cost from both ends --Canadian dollars?
So for the average Canadian old age pensioner, you just wiped out a year or more of their total income on one inoculation ?
... sure hope it doesn't need a booster shot until the next year.
Evaluate this:...

How much if I do? $10,000
How much if I don't? $10,000 / year for as long as I would have lived.
Ontario re-opening plan released. I find it almost useless. I assumed we would not be dumb enough to flip the switch and would do a staged approach so there is no useful information that I have seen in this release.
The part that dramatically affects me is school/child care availability in some form. I would guess stage 2 or 3, which puts it ~one to two months out. This seems reasonable. I'm not sure how camps and the like are going to run this summer as it will take some time between telling them they can go and actually having kids attend.
Alberta's started criticizing the Chief Public Health Officer, but not in a way that they can be summarily accused of racism, and dismissed.
I think it shows that the leadership candidate, is still in the placeholder stages, and needs to up his game.
Mistakes have been made by the government, and it shouldn't be mixing politics with the safety of it's citizens.
How far should the CPHO have to tow the party line? In my mind, not at all, but that's probably not realistic.
Was the dithering caused by ignorance, or apathy, or something else? We may never know.
The number of these "yahoos" as doug called them still astounds me, they think just because the death rate is in single digits and considered "acceptable" , they should pull a florida and just go yolo with it
What these people don't understand is that the projected confirmed cases and death rate is not a "quota" or a "target".
Just because we are under the projected numbers doesn't mean we need to relax the social distancing rules until we reach the projected numbers.
The goal is to be as far under the projected numbers as possible, not as close to them without being over...
That kind of thinking just leaves me with a headache.
Kennedy has the same problem I have with Tam. She was the one that got in our woken PM's ear and whispered cultural sensitivity, delaying screening of people coming back on flights from China.
And Freeland has the sniffles @ 0:51 and 0:54 in that video. Why the hell isn't she self quarantining?
I don't think you actually read what I posted based upon your reply. This isn't to do with Yahoos. This is to do with the government mixing science and political science, causing them to make poor choices. The lockdown, getting supplies ready, making a plan, should have happened much sooner. The government is reactionary instead of actionary, and more focused on it's international image at the moment, than it should be. Alberta is going it's own way, simply because the feds have made too many errors. They're going to start testing everyone who has a cough, whereas here in Ontario, unless you know you've been in contact with someone infected, you can't get a test yet. The Prime Minister's wife may be an exception to the rule, which would piss me off.The number of these "yahoos" as doug called them still astounds me, they think just because the death rate is in single percentage digits and considered "acceptable" by them , they should pull a florida and just go yolo with it, afterall, how dare big gubment inconvenience them by telling them to chill at home for a few weeks!?
thats downright communist Orwellian!

The thing is that they had a ton of equipment, but it was expired, just like in the U.S.My understanding is that the testing requirements have changed recently and you no longer need to know someone with a positive test in order to get a test. I think the initial restrictions on that were based around ensuring a steady supply of test kits and making sure those who needed them, had them. They appear to have been too slow to change their criteria though (IMO, I don't know what their supply situation looked like).
A lot of the same people saying they should have been more prepared with a ton of equipment would have been the same people to complain about "government waste" if they had over-prepared and it ended up being nowhere near as serious as it has been.
Evaluate this:
"OAS benefits are adjusted quarterly in January, April, July, and October based on the prevailing Consumer Price Index. For the second quarter of 2020 (i.e. April to June), the maximum monthly OAS benefit is $613.53."
613.53 x 12 = $7362.36 <- That might be your entire annual income assuming you even qualify for OAS.
I agree with all your points and good comment. I was thinking about this one and it's a tough one. Sure you can allow for 1/3 or 1/2 capacity of restaurants to maintain social distancing...what do you do about the bathroom? Is the server OK with coming close to people possibly carrying a virus? would you put up plexiglass around the tables? Booths seems like the best option for people to utilize as they're physically separated and people coming in together, will stick together. Put up some taller plexi b/w the booths and you have a possible solution.How does one mask up at a restaurant?
