You seem to be a very unhappy man. Perhaps your afraid of the tsunami that the scientists tell us is coming. Forget about blaming everyone else and let the experts do their jobs and try to get a handle on this. When I was a boy my father used to take us to his small community cemetery and without exception he made a point to stop at a family monument. He always pointed out the markers of a family of seven of all ages who were wiped out by the Spanish Flu in two days. The Spanish Flu came in repeated waves over a two year period. We haven't even ridden the first wave and people are already trying to wish it away.
The politicians should keep their mouths shut, listen, and make available whatever resources are needed so the scientists can start to make some headway. If they don't we will be back in a very short time asking significantly more future funding and burying a lot more of the world's citizens. Look at the traffic on our freeways during rush hours now. Imagine if this gets to phase two. I had hoped to be in Asia for a holiday now. I postponed my trip thinking perhaps I could go in September. Realistically I suspect we could be restricted from most international travel for another year.
I worked for a large international company in Edmonton. Last week about 100 of us were laid off reducing the workforce by about 70%. They had a similar number and percentage laid off in Calgary, and likely similar percentages across Canada and the US. My thoughts are that a lot of us were directly and indirectly exposed to the virus and our employer should have reacted sooner as due to the systemic proximate location of the workforce with each other it was practically impossible to ensure safe distancing of a primarily seniors workforce.
This guy gives a pretty good series of posts. He is much more credible than someone who hopes to bully his supporters by waving an imaginary wand wishing this done by Easter.
