The polls lie, people are very pissed at the money the POS is throwing around. Majority are not stupid and know the taxes are going up. Idiocy ay its finest. Make people dependant on government money, shutdown small mom and pop businesses, let the big franchises have a 30% profit increase. Nothing but good can come from that right?

Interesting article from CNN about the extended border crossing:

Covid-19 built a 'northern wall' between the US and Canada and it could stay up longer than anyone expected

And it was paid for by 180,000 lives

 

[IamNY]

^^^^Cleary didn’t read the article. But it was a good knee jerk response.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Just read it. Think my statement still holds meaning. That “wall” between Canada and USA was not an intentional one like the one trump wants with Mexico. It’s not an actual wall but it does exist and it is @ expense of all the infections and deaths in USA. If USA had a comparable infection rate comparable to Canada would the border still be closed?

 

[IamNY]

^^^^Good argument, I'm just happy that you read the article. I would say that the border would still be closed if we had comparable infection rates. Leaders want to be in control, even at the expense of people losing everything, monetarily everything.

This is a very interesting read for those of you that are more scientifically inclined. Instead of a cytokine storm, it looks like it might be a bradykinin one instead. Effectively, covid acts a lot like an ACE inhibitor does but at deadly levels.

[cloudsurf]

Thanks for the fascinating read ssj3. Who would have known that this virus could cause so many complex reactions in our bodies. Now a lot of the reported symptoms are starting to make sense.

Smart move. With the U.S. maybe extend it to Spring 2021 if the current administration wins a second term. I mean we got this Scott Atlas furthering this pandemic shit show.

As for India darn country can't even get the toilet thing right don't think they can deal with the complexities of this pandemic. Also that country is run by their version of the right wing nut job administration.

^^^^^^ Would you really take this?
No and my reasoning is it was made too quickly, supposedly mutated a couple of times, finding new side effects almost monthly.
This virus that wiped out 0.0025% of the entire Canadian population in 6 months, of those 95% were above 70 yrs older.
So chances of dying from this if under 70 and semi healthy is 5% of 0.0025%.
I will wait and see for a year if needed or not.

Yes, I would take it now. I think the science of vaccines is a lot, lot better today than it was in the 1950s.

What We Know About the C.D.C.’s Covid-19 Vaccine Plans

The agency told public health agencies that two unidentified vaccines might be ready by October or November. We explain how vaccine trials work, when one might be ready, and who may get them first.

I'm not sure that reputable scientists have said that Oct is realistic. This seems more like a Trump political stunt.

I can’t see any vaccine being offered premature in Canada

Certainly he is. Many things are conceivable - he's not taking it off the table, but he - like most others acknowledge it's unlikely.

I don’t know is he?
Wasn’t he one of the many that said masks are not necessary and may be even more harmful as it might make you have a false sense of safety.
I get very sceptical of a supposed infection expert who bows to pressure from above and doesn’t have the guts to quit and tell the truth to protect the people and his integrity.
Is he telling the truth this time?
