pump it with your wrist, slather the disinfectant on your hands and up past your wrist, your safe, the next guy is safe.

I was having beer on a 'patio' last night, its take out only, so your take it out to the patio LOL. Big can for your empties but a gal came out and collected all the beer cans effectivly making contact with 10 other people. I was unconcerned really, but everyone does safety different....
 
I saw something last night that could be potentially worrying if true, it was about airborne infection and the 2M distancing rule. I’ll see what I can find or if it was a slow news day.
 
Nice to see....let's just hope people act a bit smarter next time around...TB Park having 'social distancing circles' painted.

I was surprised that they were using a machine to do it and super surprised that the circles were so good and so evenly spaced. It's a good idea. I want the city to put up a webcam so we can see the *&^*&^show develop when wanker N+1 enters the park and there is no circle for their precious snowflake to sit in so they start trying to kick other people out.

My money is on day two, this park looks like the lounge chairs around the pool at an all-inclusive resort. One person goes early in the morning to dump a bunch of crap in a circle to reserve it in case they want to use it later. You end up with 90% of the spaces reserved and empty and 10% used, then the people that "reserved" a space go ape*&^*^ when they show up hours later and somebody has moved their junk.

Ya there is no 'reserving' spaces here...people will throw the stuff out within minutes if there's not someone guarding it. There will be fights. There will be hurt feelings. And they will lock down the park. But at least they're trying something to accommodate people's needs to be outside.
 
I guess i am naive.i really had no idea that there were so many stupid people.
 
Does TB stand for tuberculosis? I thought we beat that years ago.

By the looks of it, there is only room for one person in each circle. So if th family goes, it's spread out over a large area?

Each of us being only a droplet of stupidity, none can sense what a vast ocean there is.

Circles are 8' diameter. Two people lying down or three in a circle. Contents of a circle are supposed to live in the same household. If you want to hang out with your friends, they need to be in adjacent circles and you yell across the 10' gap.

No,TB is older then human existence and there is no known cure and it is widespread,
but it moves like a tuberous worm and not like a beachball.

Wait a minute. Has anyone in Toronto actually done the math on this? They estimated there were 10,000 people in the park last weekend. They are spending about $5000 to draw 400 circles. Each circle holds two to three people. Where do the other 8800+ people go? Hilarious. There's going to be a riot. This is 9 out of 10 being denied. Oh well, the fences are a better solution for the wankers anyway.

You didn't know that the Toronto coffers were stuffed to overbrimming with money?
They need to get rid of it quickly, or it may spill into the streets where the citizens will see it,
and demand it be used for old age homes.

LMAO Why would you go and do this logically? You're a good man/woman @GreyGhost

No seriously...stop it. Logic has no place in these decisions.
 
The virus won't kill all of us.

The irrational decisions, justified by the virus's existence, will.
 
*******!! It would be awesome if the college pulled his license. It is hard to describe the level of douchebaggery displayed.

A doctor travelled from NB to QC for personal reasons (that he refuses to disclose), then returned to NB and immediately returned to work without isolating. He saw patients for weeks before he got diagnosed. Now an area that was previously clean has infections and it's climbing quickly with the doctor as patient zero. What a ********.

 
Envision trying to prevent a boatload of people from sinking. First you, at all costs, keep the boat from sinking further then using whatever means bail manually and using bilge pumps raise it higher in the water. At it rises you locate and fix leaks. When the leaks are fixed you find out what caused them and make sure they don't happen again. Covid is similar but as you work there are people pissing into the boat.
 
Extrapolation and speculation ... based on what's on www.worldometers.info

Spain is in the process of opening up. Population approx 50 million, number of new cases about 500 per day (so 10 per million population), deaths about 100 per day not counting the last couple of days where something screwy happened (I'm guessing it was an accounting correction) so 2 per million population per day. Took 2 months from peak rates which were about 16 times higher than this, to where they are now.

Canada: about 900 new cases per day (so 25 per million population), deaths wandering around 100 per day. Big change from two months ago. Case numbers are down about 40% in the last month. So, after initially being much worse off, Spain's numbers dropped off much faster than ours (probably because they had a tight lockdown, and we had a sloppy one). So, at the moment, Spain as a whole is less risky than Canada as a whole is, and their numbers have been dropping faster. I feel better (and more optimistic) about that trip I still have on the books ... which is still 3 months away.

USA: about 20,000 new cases per day (so 60 per million population), deaths near 1200 per day (highly erratic), so per capita they have more official cases and about the same number of deaths. Daily new cases are down about 25% and deaths are down 45% in the last month ... but the consequences of opening up too early aren't reflected yet. (We're also opening up too early, if Spain is anything to go by, but the USA is opening up way too early.)

Our numbers are highly influenced by the disaster in long-term-care, and by Montreal, and to a lesser extent Toronto. Much of the rest of the country has either excluded the virus or is within sight of doing so.

USA numbers have been highly influenced by New York City, except their numbers have been dropping off while other areas have been increasing. The trouble spots are the northeast and the Great Lakes area. There are no states that have excluded it, but there are quite a few that have (thus far) had little effect. Canada as a whole has had 182 deaths per million population. Georgia and Ohio are around the same. North Carolina has around half that. Tennessee, much less. Arkansas and West Virginia less again. Florida and California, for all the fuss made around them, have fewer deaths per capita than we do.

Florida has actively been altering numbers to avoid making it look so bad - also historically Republican with many elderly people there. It's in the Republicans' best interests to keep it hush-hush. The Florida DOH-GIS Data Manager was fired for refusing to alter and censor Covid data.

Florida Health Department manager told to delete coronavirus data is ousted

She said she was offered a settlement and the option to resign in lieu of being fired.

Lots of other articles saying the same thing if you care to google it.
 
Yeah there's shenanigans. It's in the interest of making it look like they can open up. The official numbers are all we have, even though we know they are wrong. You can fool all the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all of the people all the time...
 
Dead bodies are hard to skew

As an aside I feel like everyone of those hippies in the park should be (as a form of punishment) be forced to work in a morgue
