it is the person benefiting who gets resentful most times. I think it’s pride.The only time the person giving gets resentful is if they expect something in return and dont get it.
Ih that’s true then you are reasonable and don’t have false pride or ego
Economics and free time can be very hard on friendships , or worse if the friend , doesn’t have flexible work hours and has a controlling spouse and you don’t.
I love going to California Superbike every year, between how I like to fly and where I like to stay and the price of the school it can be 10 grand plus for a couple days .
I want to invite everyone I know to come along but clearly many people don’t have the money or don’t want to spend that kind of money even if they have it . That’s where it can get awkward. But I just learned to invite everyone everywhere and let them google prices and decide . I don’t know how much money people have and I don’t need to know so I just put out the invite and let the chips fall where they may.
Also I have all the free time I want and my wife isn’t a controlling ball buster.
Once you add up some of the above issues it makes it hard to keep everyone around you happy and have them join you on your adventures..
Add on top of that offering to pay for them and I have seen things get ugly and resentful.
I can’t tell you the amount of times someone has said to me “ must be nice” which is the kiss of death to most friendships as you know what they really mean is “ f - you”

Get yourself friends with clinical depression, no pride to be found and just happy for people that seem to genuinely care about having them around.
No thanks. If you aren’t happy I don’t want you dragging me down . There’s enough negative crap in life to deal with already. I want to be surrounded with positive upbeat people as much as possible.

Common misconception, I guarantee you know or have met people with diagnosed depression who always seem happy and positive but you would never know thoughts of suicide cloud their mind every day.
Maybe but it seems to come out in other ways eventually
People can only hide their true colours/intentions for so long. Eventually the truth always comes out.
OKAY OKAY i'm only using you for Limoncello, you happy???

Anyone ponder how so many of these recent motorcycle accidents, have lead to death once in Hospital? esp given the new orders to stop elective surgeries and doctors having the right to decide who lives, and who dies.
This is just speculation (and last year, and this year, I lost 2 relatives to heart attacks/strokes in the UK, both of which paramedics could have saved as they were reached in time, however, once the doors were closed and they were taken away from family, families got calls saying they died. Speaking with nurses, and hearing accounts, they all know it was due to not wanting to save them/taking up space)
My gut feeling is, the same thing is happening here. I know of a few nurses here who quit due to unethical practices they found in the last year in hospitals of basically culling patients.

Been saying that for a year. But people's feelings are more important apparently.

What's unethical if the hospital capacity has been reached? They are working with limited resources and unfortunately that means that some that could have been saved in normal times are not. Obviously I have no insight into your specific situation or the criteria the doctors used to decide who lives and dies.

It's Doug Ford and Trudeau who are at fault.
No, he is claiming that they are killing patients to save up beds. Hilarious.
May still be ethical not to treat depending on the circumstances. If there is a high liklihood that they will spend a long time in hospital and/or low probability of good quality of life afterward, letting them go now preserves capacity for those that have a chance.
I have heard of not treating, I have never heard of actively killing (other than in whack job news). Its like the moon landing. The probability that so many people know the truth and nobody talks is astoundingly low.
Dr tam just said that once we get 75 percent of people in Canada vaccinated and 20 percent get the second shot we might be able to loosen some restrictions by mid summer ...Might !! How can that possibly happen with vaccination hesitance and lack of supply .... I’m sorry but all you hide in the basement, lock down lovers can’t seriously think that not loosening restrictions by Midsummer is reasonable at all unless you have one of the following:
1. Parents paying your bills
2. You’re in a union
3. You have not been impacted by this financially at all.
As I’ve said before I am not being impacted financially or any other way in fact the past 14 months has been fantastic for me financially but this cannot continue, yes human life is important but not every human life can be saved to the detriment of the masses. It’s getting ridiculous that they are choosing a handful of people to save over killing many many more for all the other reasons besides Covid that the lockdown is causing.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?
No one "wants" lockdowns.
Their target is not as far off as it might seem. First, it was 75% / 20% of eligible people (i.e. adults, over 18 years old), not the total population - that works out to about 60% / 16% of the total population. For a population of 14 million people in the province ... that works out to 8.4 million with a first dose and 2.24 million second doses, total 10.68 million doses. We're at 4.4 million so far. Means 6.28 million to go. We've been administering around 130,000 per day, this is expected to drop a little next week (running out of Moderna and AstraZeneca in advance of Pfizer doubling their supply rate) then exceed this afterward (Pfizer doubling their shipments in May). For now, let's assume it continues at 130,000 per day. 6.28 million divided by 130,000 and you get ... 48 days from now. First week of June.
Also, those numbers were "numbers" used for the purposes of evaluating a modeling scenario ... not a hard criterion.
Vaccine hesitancy? There is going to be some, for sure. I know people like that. I know many more who have already been vaccinated.
Prediction: The Americans are going to have a much bigger problem with vaccine hesitancy than we will.
Takes some fiddling ... Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccinations - Statistics and Research
Add Canada, leave USA and UK in there, uncheck some of the other countries to unclutter the graph.
Israel has flattened out at about 62% of people with at least one dose. Look here to see how they're doing: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
The UK had around 45% of its population with at least one dose at the end of March, at which time, number of cases had dropped to a very low level (granted, they were also on lockdown). Their number of people with at least one dose levelled off at the end of March but that's not because they've stopped vaccinating ... it's because that coincided with them going back to people with a second dose in substantial numbers. If you go back and change the graph to "total doses", they haven't slowed down.
Our number of people with at least one dose is about where the UK was at the end of February.
It will be okay. It's just not okay YET.
