Elephant in the Covid room

Bush party in grey county is turning into a nightmare. Symptomatic teenagers attended. 70 cases and counting. They are asking the county to assume they are infected for 48 hours to contact trace as it is spreading faster than they can trace.

Careful, can’t yell or even suggest blame at the under 30 crowd, it might hurt their feelings. Look what happened to the premiere of BC when he did that.

So this is a pandemic, a once in a lifetime very serious event. It has me worried for what happens if something more serious comes along? I've never seen such a piss poor showing from certain people. Wankers that can’t even wear a mask for 5 minutes in a store. The freedumb caucus falsely chanting about charter rights because that trumps public safety during a public health emergency. Selfish little ***** the lot of them. Zero community spirit from a loud minority. If this had happened 80 odd years ago we would all be learning Japanese and singing Deutschland Uber Alles by now.

There was conscription then. I also wouldn't be too surprised if some people were assigned roles based on their attitudes (useless tits or pricks are assigned to team human shield with a few brave leaders included to get them into position).

It’ll be a Darwin fest that will purge the world of many stupid people, that’s what’ll happen.

Unfortunately they’ll take smart people with them.

I'm under 30 :(

Need to pay the rent and I'm not allowed wfh so I get to spread covid from location to location (if I get it)

Also, I have access to fleet vehicles which I occasionally drive

Fun times

Much rather wfh and live at my parent's place :p
 
Ugh the news coming out about projections of what could happen in May are not pretty.


12,000-18,000 cases by the end of May. Yeah, those are worst case numbers I'm sure, but....3 times where we currently are.

Rumor is we're going to see an escalation in restrictions. Sheesh, I hope it's something along the lines of the hard lockdown we've all be saying has been necessary forever now. Remember back in March and April last year when the roads were empty and we flattened the curve? Yeah, we need that again.

I think I'd best go ahead and cancel my week of vacation booked for May 10'th....can't see it's likely we'll be doing anything aside from sitting starting at the pool at that point. Speaking of which, I think I'll open my pool this weekend. Can't go camping (campgrounds all shuttered and they're cancelling reservations...travel ban anyways), riding is being discouraged by some....tired of starting at the wall in the living room. Might as well have something new to stare at I guess.

Summer 2021 isn't shaping up to be what we'd all hoped.
 
yeah, lets f around for feb/mar/april and go lockdown when the weather finally gets better and everybody WANTS to be outside.

I'm sure they are trying their best but it sure gets discouraging . Crane booked to launch the boat May 1st, marinas are allowed to operate under lockdown 'so far' . My floating office is 10 times better than my ground office.
 
I’d get it in the water ASAP if it were me. I can’t see some of these allowances sticking honestly.

The closures of the campgrounds while leaving golfing open really irked me.
 
People are complaining about not being able to camp. Not everyone "camps" the same. A bush party in Grey Bruce has caused a total lockdown. Sigh.

I get it. Once again the smart have to pay the price for the stupid however.

I just want to go sit in the woods with my wife around a campfire. Others want to go with 20 other friends and jam into one trailer after dark drinking beer all night and spreading the ‘vid.

So none of us can camp anymore.

Pool openings near me have been crazy. The first ones were a month ago. At this point, probably 80% are open and hot. I may open at some point and let the sun heat it up for a few weeks but I'm not paying for that much gas.

(avg.) 36 groups of max. 4 people per group spread out over 100+acres vs. 2.....or 5,.......or 10,.......or a frat party sitting around a campfire multiplied by n side by side by side sites at a campground? I can think of other hills worth dying on other than golf courses, campgrounds being one of them.

Not everyone who goes camping conglomerates and has a "Frat party". Like I said, I just want to go sit in the woods somewhere with my wife and stare off through the campfire into the trees.

Just like not everyone who goes golfing in those "parties of 4" are not going with 4 buddies from 4 different households while tooling around in a golf cart sitting side by side, and with some travelling to different areas to go to these different golf courses to begin with. And then going their own ways aftewards and potentially dragging the vid back to 4 different areas/households.

I get it, hill to die on, yadda yadda. But if they think Golf is magically safer than the same 4 people sitting around a campfire in a campground (or crown land, or wherever), they're kidding themselves.
 
Ahh **** it. I’m going to put the tent up in the back yard, **** in my neighbours garden and eat dehydrated food for a week and pretend I’m camping.

I'm half tempted to text the guy where our trailer is stored and ask him if we can "Camp" there. If I turn the trailer 90 degrees in it's parking spot I look into the woods and there's actually a nice little creek that trickles through there. I could bring my BioLite Firepit to have a campfire off the ground, 2 lawn chairs, put out the awning, a case of beer and some steaks, and **** it....beats sitting at home.
