The situation in Quebec is totally out of control and you don't have the USA punching bag to blame for it. Stay at home!!!!!!'

'Please stay home,' health minister urges Quebecers as COVID-19 cases surge
Unlike the first wave of the pandemic, which could be traced to travellers before it took hold in seniors' residences, this one is popping up all over Quebec, Christian Dubé says.

I wouldn’t say it is totally out of control, this was to be expected with the opening up of businesses, stores, gyms schools etc...
Same thing is happening in Europe and many other places. It is called the second wave lol.
Quebec is taking measures to control it, we will see how effective it will be.
Yes it is excellent advise to stay home that is exactly what they are recommending and trying to enforce.
We don’t need to blame the US, why heap more blame on an already troubled nation.
We will let them figure out how not to be the world leader in deaths and infections.
Yes it is, now all you need to do is convince 360 million people and us 36 million, such an easy task.
EB, I for one would like to see the border closed from any incoming Canadians because they refuse to take this pandemic serious. Their continued disregard for the science and common sense for slowing the spread of this disease is appalling to say the least. Keep them out!The situation in Quebec is totally out of control and you don't have the USA punching bag to blame for it. Stay at home!!!!!!'

It's fairly clear that if the Border wasn't closed, Quebec would be on the travel advisory list for Connecticut and probably all of the other Sensational 6 States. The list has 35 States/territories on it right now:

You keep holding up the sensational six as an example.
I am glad they have tremendously improved but overall they are anything but sensational in fact 4 of your sensational list have the worst death rate in the whole US.
Yes it happened in the beginning but even Florida hasn’t gotten close to New Jersey and New Yorks death rate ( death rate per 100,000 population) in fact Quebec which is hovering around 68 is close to Florida’s death rate.

U.S. COVID death rate by state 2023 | Statista
As of March 2023, Arizona had the highest COVID death rate in the U.S., with 455 deaths per 100,000 population. Hawaii had the lowest death rate.

Make no mistake, no place got hit harder than NY, NJ and CT at the beginning of the pandemic, but no place has been better at controlling the virus since the first 2 months. It's because of good State level political leadership, a population responsive to that leadership, and tremendous medical care in all 3 states. It's not an exaggeration to say that NY, NJ and CT are the shining beacon States in the entire Western Hemisphere's Covid response. All States and Countries need to study and follow our lead. As Governor Cuomo said about the Tri State coordinated response, "history books will be talking about what we did for decades."
EB,
Sorry but no. It is not time to follow states which have the worst record in the US.
It is great that you are so patriotic, but for once get real put aside your pride and face reality.
I wish it wasn’t so, half my family is in the US, but the US is leading the world in deaths, infections, it is a total cluster fuck what is still going on and now you have governors wanting to have 60,000 fans at a football game.
You have the Governor of New York undermining the Mayor every chance he gets. He had a huge hand in thousands of elderly dying in senior homes just like Quebec and Ontario had here.
You can try and spin this any way you want but all statistics all evidence points to exactly the opposite.
History books will be talking about it for years what a fuck up took place in the US during this pandemic, let’s hope they will also be talking about how the US came up with a vaccine that saved the world from more years and millions upon millions of deaths.

Would disagree with you Fradi,
Lots of guys talk about being able to run around and do whatever they want and that you will get the virus either way and that it won’t kill you. In NY, NJ, CT there is so little virus circulating people are enjoying a lot. And there’s little virus floating around. Not same case in other states. I couldn’t agree more with a lot of what Eb wrote.

TNB,
I guess we are going to disagree then, which is fine.
Does the fact that for now things are better in these states bring back all the people that have died.
Quebec had infections down to 60-70 a day and several days in a row with O deaths just a month ago and now it has spiked.
This is not over yet it is not time for anybody to be patting themselves on the back especially not States that still overall have the worst record.

Sorry, lol didn’t mean to compare Canada in anyway to USA, lol when it comes to federal covid response, lol. Believe me. No comparison. But what I will say, where I agree with EB is that these states are examples where they did get it right.
I don’t disagree on that count either, and I am glad they got it right and hope they keep on getting it right.
I just don’t believe in holding people up as shining examples when they still have the worst record.
Learn from it, yes by all means
My point is thousands of people have died does it matter to their loved ones that they died before or after they woke up and
figured out what to do.
I am not all that proud of our Health Minister Aruda either, there is a reason Quebec is the New York of Canada anyway we spin that it won’t change either, obviously some provinces did a better job than we did.
I just don’t have this patriotic cloud over my eyes and always try to spin some way to hold up my country as the greatest.
Sometimes people, and sometimes countries fuck up and we need to own it and learn from it.

Fradi, has nothing to do with patriotism, I have simply stated the facts. We can't bring back the people that died, nor can anyone, but the point is what happened when things got crazy bad here and what theses States did to respond. It was a model response and I say this having lived and worked through all of it here, as an essential employee, and having also recently traveled through every state from Florida to Connecticut and in between.
EB,
Let’s hope these States continue to make the right decisions and are able to hold down the numbers and the rest can follow in their footsteps.
I think we can all agree on that and let’s hope that the US or any other country comes up with an effective vaccine to end this nightmare that we are all living and we can get back to talking more about which SP we like and be able to visit our loved ones like we did before.

It is very heartening to hear from the posters above that NY City and areas nearby are essentially virus-free now, thanks to the excellent job done by the governor. It is a little less heartening though to learn that the said governor is so clueless about that achievement that he has decided to reimpose lockdown restrictions in a large part of the state.
The restrictions will affect large swaths of New York City, as well as nearby Rockland and Orange counties, with closures of nonessential businesses and limits on mass gatherings in certain hot spots.

New York Sets New Lockdown Restrictions Where Coronavirus Has Resurged
New York will reimpose lockdown restrictions in parts of the state that have seen recent surges in coronavirus cases, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, and warned of wider limitations if infection rates continued to rise.

It’s not an entire city lockdown. The amount of new virus cases in NYC is still well below 10%. These interventions are taking place to keep it that way. I’m not a Cuomo fan, by no means.

What's interesting about the new lockdown areas or "clusters" as they are now called is that they are primarily in Orthodox Jewish communities. This is a very religious group of people. The new lockdowns are limiting attendance to their synagogues at 25% and/or only 10 people. This is causing a major problem their community. Especially with holidays coming up:
