There will be no mandatory vaccine. It may however be a requirement to work, travel, shop, attend school, hunt and fish or engage in other activities that bring people into contact with others.

My Doctor tells me that Covid-19 is a Coronavirus the same as every other flu bug which appear to mutate into different strains every year. The flu shots most people get every year are pathogen-specific and offer little protection against other variations. The best we can hope for is that a vaccine will mitigate the severity should we catch one of the variants or Covid-19 itself. Now,y'all can argue all you want,but,being a Diabetes II patient,I want all the horses I can get on my side. I'm still getting a Flu shot every year and will wear a mask when necessary. The rest of you can do what you like.
When I posted this, the US infection rate was just over 10X our number of infected, making it very comparable. The US death rate was 3.9% and Canada was 7.9%.
Since then the US infection rate has skyrocketed for some obvious reasons if you're to believe social distances is a protection.
Our death rate is currently at 7.5 and the US is 3.3. So not only is it still double but they're obviously improving on the therapeutic treatments at a faster pace.
Soon the US may reach the death rate numbers of other flu virus's and yet we have people here that refuse to even acknowledge any of it. Hate, hate, hate.
The number of Americans who have died from the virus as a percentage of population however is much higher than ours. 485 per million compared to our 237 per million.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
The American rate of death among people who acquire the virus is lower because most deaths here were in long term care facilities and retirement homes where people are more vulnerable due to age and health status. The American death rate is lower because as it rampages through their population it is infecting younger people with a higher survival rate although many will face ongoing health repercussions from the infection.
The reason for the higher death rate among the infected but overall lower death rate is because we've limited community spread by locking down sooner, reopening slower, maintaining social distances, keeping borders closed to non-essential visitors, quarantines and, of course, wearing masks.
Had we acted like the Americans, a lot more Canadians would be dead.
There is zero evidence to show that if our infection rate were to skyrocket we would see an improvement in the death rate over the US. Our trends say otherwise. You can't sugar coat it. The death rate is the death rate.
The virus affected the LTC facilities in both countries similarly. One could even argue that local decisions by governors in NY and NJ inflated the deaths from horrible decisions on how they handled infected covid cases. Which would obviously improve their death rate.
If your going to count it based on population, maybe start adding some European countries together until you equate the US's population to actually see that they're doing something right when it come to controlling the deaths.
Bingo...pay attention
There are plenty of studies showing both sides of the mask debate. Some countries appear to be doing fine without mandatory masks. Even WHO has flip flopped on the issue. Making masks mandatory is government over reach in my opinion. If you want to wear a mask fine, if you don't that's fine too.
There is no need for mandatory vaccinations either. If you want the vaccine get it and if it works you have nothing to worry about. There is no reason for it to be other than voluntary like the annual flu vaccine.
Everything I have read about the COVID vaccination says it is not a normal vaccination and it is an mRNA vaccination that has never actually been successful. What I have read about it is worrisome and I am not that interested in being a guinea pig for it.
The mortality rate of COVID does not warrant continued lockdowns, mandatory masks or mandatory vaccines.
As gun owners we know how the government lies to prop up the gun lobby and uses emotion to enact nonsense gun laws. What makes you think they aren't using the same tactics and lies to promote mandatory masks and vaccinations.
I am a conservative supporter but Doug Ford's bill that allows them to extend emergency measures without there being a declared emergency is troubling, but everyone is on board because of fear.
Everyone in Canada complains about the Americans and their response to COVID. I just see a population that isn't willing to give up it's rights and freedoms so easily.
The comparisons with the EU are available on the link I provided.
U.S. deaths as a proportion of population 10th globally. Their rate is lower than Belgium, UK, Spain, Italy and Sweden. Their rate is higher than every other EU nation.
More important is that currently America stands 3rd globally in new deaths with 514. The nearest EU country in new deaths is the UK at 65. Even accounting for the larger population Americans are dying at a faster rate today than any country in the EU.
I had the esteemed privilege of watching the masked up hordes in action this past long weekend in Sauble Beach. From a distance and without a mask on myself of course. I tried to cancel but this trip was booked last year. Long story, but we ended up going.
I won't get into all of the boring details, but the pro-maskers really need to get off the koolaid. It isn't the few of us who would rather not wear a mask that are the problem, it's the selfish, entitled behaviour of mask wearers who will perpetuate it.
My family and I were only in contact with each other and the lady at the registration desk at the campground. Our friends (separate trailers and campsites) were elbow to elbow with the mases daily, and made stops in multiple towns and big cities on the road. We drove straight through (one stop for gas and drive through) and kept to ourselves. One day it rained nonstop, and while they went into town for more entertainment, we stayed on the campsite and made the most if it. Who is really "slowing the spread"?
The pro-maskers now have a free pass to go back to their old ways and that's what started this to begin with. I don't understand the attraction or need to be jammed in with other people for the sake of entertaining oneself.
As a side note, I made it through the entire long weekend without once wearing a mask or breaking any bylaws. My wife, who isn't sold on masks either, did not mind making the few required in person transactions where masks were required.
One key takeaway from the 1918 pandemic was that the potential benefit of masks is only achievable in conjunction with other rigid public health measures. Somehow we've disregarded history and come to the conclusion that implementing masks while dropping the measures that have been proven to work is the answer. Again I'll say, we'll see what happens when the weather cools down and people are back indoors.

That's what I wear at work as my workplace has deemed cloth coverings acceptable same with all the other municipal regulations they merely state to wear a face covering. You dont want a full on N95 dust mask for more then a few minutes or your face will sweat. The gaitors are much more comfortable IMO and I already am used to wearing one while hunting which normally is at least a 4hr sit. I wear them 8hrs at work and now I barely notice it.
And thats why their numbers are skyrocketing because "freedom" is in the eye of the beholder. An old person in a LTC might define freedom as the ability to see their loved ones and not be exposed or risk dying from something that so far science has deemed can be controlled if people follow the controls. Freedom doesnt mean you can run around doing whatever you want for your own personal gain at other people's expense without anyone controlling the situation, thats called Anarchy not freedom.
Times sure changed in the past few months. First were shamed for leaving home for anything besides food, even walking pets was being shamed. Those going to their cottage or camp would be met with bashing for being selfish and inconsiderate. So many of us being labeled the problem. And we continued doing those things on top of going to work everyday, and we did it without masks, while so many others sat at home in fear, bashing those who kept them from starving and the economy from total collapse. Without masks the numbers have declined enough so that the fear mongers can come out of hiding and go back to living again. It takes more then a mask to stop the spread, it takes commons sense, something thats to hard for many to grasp.

surgical and cloth masks protect the other person not you generally unless you add a filter, the masks don't have to be heavy to help and the scared, paranoid and angry will be less so... too much noise... in Japan they have been wearing them to slow the spread of colds etc. for decades and they seem to help so just wear the bloody things. It makes those ignorant of the realities happy and might even protect you ... a bit... and if you have it then it should help protect those around you.

Bzzzzzz...Wrong answer. I never denied that it happened . It did. You equated people being mandated to wear masks with the Jews being lead onto a train, 'to a better place'. Meanwhile they were being sent to be exterminated. You act like they had a choice , whether or not ,to get on that train, they did not. Such comments are uncalled for and would appear to be anti-semitic to 99% of people who would vote. With thoughts like yours your party will not get more votes than the Rhino Party...again. Wackos.

How much of our children's future are we willing to sacrifice for our safety?
When everyone thought the mortality of this would be around 3% people were throwing around the jelly bean argument. If there were 100 jelly beans in a dish and you knew 3 of them were poison, would you eat any. People never looked at the other side of that. The penalty for not eating any are inability to provide for your loved ones, bankruptcy, unemployment etc. For me, I'm grabbing a handful and many of us with high risk jobs do that everyday.
Life is full of risk and lots of the older people I know take their own precautions but do not want the next generation to sacrifice the future for their safety.
Our society has become so risk averse that we are losing our ability to function.
They ignore the reality .... what if those Jelly Beans were your only food, you would likely eat a few then nibble a bit on one and wait to see if you felt sick... or in Wuhan pneumonia terms keep working and wear masks. Many countries just made masks mandatory and went on with life, often having high counts but then again Canada went up 761 yesterday alone,( about 1/2 the US increase that day while they have 10X the population) there are some that should face criminal charges in the US in places like NY and NJ

There is no shortage of missteps and errors made by the federal government on the COVID file but they aren't the ones requiring masks be worn. It is either through an order from the public health unit or a municipal bylaw.
If your sense of freedom and dignity are offended take it up with them.
What good does a mask do when a 40 of bourbon gets passed around a fire and everyone drinks off it ?.
I wasn't there but heard the story this was last week.
What about the thousands of people having 100 people partys ? I know of 3 max events happening this coming weekend. Many 60 people gatherings what happens then ?
Guess many will be safer wearing their mask but many more will become sick from not following the proper procedure when handling your mask. My 8 year old knows how to handle her mask better then many that I see.

Question about disposable mask. How many ppl do you know that will wear one mask till it falls apart Say one disposable mask last a person a month what good is it hands will be contaminated
Washable hopefully they get wash after each outing
Disposables are available free at the entrance to many stores I go to. Why would you keep one?
And they are a dollar here. So I see ppl will use it them for ever
What do the pro maskers think about Trudeau opening up the border in a couple weeks? No big deal just wear a mask? Our great leader will keep us safe, thats what he does
I go to work 6 to 7 days a week, I lead a group of 70 people I have to interact with up close and Im exposed to over 200 people every day just on my job. I know all about putting food on the table and the risk vs reward having a newborn in the hospital on May 6th right in the middle of the crisis. I have older family members who are gravely concerned about their health to the point they are on antidepressants for the first time in their life, I have employees who have comprised immune systems that still have to work to survive and cant afford the governments excuse of a handout who are deathly afraid of anyone not wearing a mask. I know people who have gotten the virus, I know of people who have died of the virus. Therefore I will continue to serve my family and do my duties and also respect others feelings and emotions through these tough times. We all take risks everyday, the real heros are the ones who put others before themselves. Even if you think a mask or any of the controls are silly, anyones choice to ignore any of the controls is purely selfish. I truly feel for the people who actually have conditions that prevent them from wearing a mask and everyone else marching around with their facade of an excuse should be ashamed. Unfortunately in this society some people have no shame and therefore cannot truly feel or empathize with other.
44 pages and still going strong ! Really ? We shooting for a record here or what ? LoL ! Maybe a Mod can tell us what the record number of pages are at right now ? As for the original question ? I wear a mask and/or social distance . I was wearing a mask before we were told to and why... because it makes sense ! All the healthcare workers were wearing PPE right from the start. I would not doubt had this country been better supplied with basic PPE in the begining we could have shortened this "unprecedented event" . Take a look at what's going on south of the border and see what happens when you don't follow social distancing / mask wearing, etc..
Some people do not like being told what to do, even if it is for their own, and everyone else's good.. Don't worry, time will make masks an everyday part of life, like seat belts , bike helmets, not smoking indoors, etc.. :thumbup:

Sad we have medication that they are not using. Not enough profits to be made like a vaccine. I'm sure the masks will save you.

There is a mind virus that is being spread by the fear peddling media. It has everyone paralyzed in fear and willing to comply with any government overreach.
I don't think the controls are silly, I just think people should be able to use their own judgement. I respect everyones right to react to this as they see fit, but it's a two way street. I'll wear a mask if a business owner asks me to or I might just got shop somewhere else. Municipalities mandating masks and imposing fines is an over reach of their power, especially if there in no longer a declared emergency.
If you have lost people due to COVID I am very sorry but the mortality rate of this virus does not justify burning down the world. If you know people that are on anti-depressants due to covid, take a look at the media for that one. The social contract that keeps civilization running requires risk.
You see people that choose to ignore controls as selfish. I see people that support the lockdowns as selfish. How many restaurants will not open back up, 30%? How many people with small busniess have or will go bankrupt? Is your safety worth their livelihood? What if they thought their safety was worth yours?
I have been directly invovled with a lot of testing with the same people being tested multiple times. I have seen people test positive for the anti body test one day and negative the next. I have seen the same happen with the PCR test. With my understanding of the testing, the antibody test shows have or have had a coronavirus but not necessarily COVID. With the PCR test it shows that you have only been exposed to it (it is in your airway) but will not necessariy contract it.
There are 2 types of people in the world. People that have had COVID and people that will get COVID just like the common cold and just like the flu. There is evidence that it is mutating and getting weaker but no one ever speaks of that because a population in fear is easy to control. No one ever talks positively about the Hydroxychloroquine treatment, why? No one ever talks about how to boost your immune system, why? A vaccine, masks and lockdowns are not the only way to combat this.
The world's reaction to COVID has been completly unscientific in almost everyway.
A wise man once said "Those who trade liberty for safety will have neither"

Just think Fishfood, were supposed to be opening up the border in a couple weeks. Glad our government is going to allow the Americans to create the second wave of the virus here in Canada....
The media and government did that.
It almost took ahold of me but I had to shake it off ,the more I looked at the beginning watching the number, listening to news it started tripping me out. . My inlaws are terrified to leave they live a simple life and never went out anyways unless it was to an appointment or to go for groceries. But they say it will be a death sentence for them to go into the store.
Hope your family is ok the anti depressants wont do any good they will just numb the feeling and turn the head to mush . Kinda like a zombie no thoughts no feelings just a complete downer. How do you feel when you feel nothing from the antidepressants. Many people will be more hurt than the virus itself. Good luck and keep the good vibes around your family. Keep the bug out of there head it will do them good, thinking about it to much does nothing good to human brains. Fear will turn into panic the panic will eventually become depressing it's a vicious cycle.

Nothing surprises me much anymore. If they allow free flow of Americans to cross our borders at all entries its going to take a lot more than masks to stop the spread.
Opening the border in a few weeks isn't a done deal. I think they're just going to visit the idea again at that time and find its still not gonna happen til the states gets its act together.
Personally I hope they keep the borders closed until this situation diminishes. We don't need anyone bringing it here or going shopping or snowbirding and bringing it back. I know there's a lot of "oh but I have to go", no you don't. Your wants do not override the need to keep that crap away.
I'm seeing quite a few vehicles with US plates driving around town,lately. I spoke with a couple in the grocery store the other day who were actually Canadian citizens who live full time in the US,but,have lost jobs and are returning home until the foolishness stateside calms down and things pick up.
We also know an American that has been here since last fall . She is trying to get all the paperwork for a Canadian citizenship covid has delayed many things.
People have tried to run her off the road twice, by other drivers thinking she is here from the u.s.. she is but she was here well before the pandemic lol.

If she's been living here since last fall she's a permanent resident or here illegally. So either she shouldn't have been here or had plenty of time to get her registration. Ontario law states new residents must register their vehicles and get a new license within 30 days of moving here. Therefore, any repercussions for not changing the registration are her own doing.
Yep-You are right.Every repercussion BY the Legal bodies of the Government.
If and when applicable.
Not repercussion by Johnny from the street!
Advocating or approving taking justice in citizens hands(any which Non Legal way-especially Violent ways) is something totally different.
We don't know why she was here if she was attending School she would not need to change it I think the same applies for a work visa as well. When I first went to school in Ontario I did not change my license or anything.
She can be here legally for an extended stay for a number of reasons. Have family, own property, dual citizenship, school...…...
.....or be a Canadian citizen who's been living in the US and has come home with full authority to do whatever he/she needs to do for as long as they need to,fully intending to return to the US when finished and is driving an American bought and registered vehicle.. As such,there's no Ontario regulation or federal law that requires them to re-register their vehicle or change their driver's license under these circumstances. Anyone advocating taking law (assumptions,really,usually always wrong) into their own hands and acting like craven cowards need real serious prison time. No mercy.:scream:
It's unlikely these would apply as the original post said she'd been here since last fall and was seeking citizen papers. Length of time and desire to attain citizenship leads to the conclusion she's a resident and as such would require an Ontario DL and registration.
We agree there is no reason to harm this woman or look for a reason to do. There is also no reason to be sympathetic to her. She deserves no more sympathy than someone who'd walk through bear country smothered in bacon grease with a pack full of week-old Timbits.
Mr Badenoch sure does enjoy telling other people all the things they are doing wrong. I hadn’t checked this thread in a while and when I came back nothing had really changed.
Lots of protesters here too we just dont have the population to support them like the u.s.
Many anti mask protesters Quebec just had a big one, peterbour has had a few as well as Toronto and Alberta.
They are only trying to stand up for their rights and freedom witch Canada has stripped from us. Cant blame them for that.
There was even big protests states side from the Spanish flu that killed 5 million people in 1918.
Deaths just another part of life we all must face . Some die young some old many before their time and many unexpected. It's just part of life everyone will die even I one day maybe next week maybe in 20 years who knows could even have another 40 left lol.

Thanks man, nice words of wisdom there. Obviously everyone's situation is different, alot of divorce and separations going on, everyone stressed out where I work over the simplest things. This really is an unprecedented time in history, books will be written and the social and medical research that is possible because of all this is going to be good and bad in a way. I just hope we can get back to a new normal sooner then later, stressful times like this bring out the best and the worst in people.
Like Red Green says, were all in this together. Keep your stick on the ice!
50 pages and still going ? Back to the OP ; I guess they want us to wear masks because now there is an oversupply of them ?
As for Americans vehicles in Canada ? I pretty sure our Border guys/gals take their job seriously and only let in those that are legally allowed to. My concern would be a flood of refugee seekers in November should the vote to dispose of their evil overlord doesn't work out in their favour ?
The illegals have been crossing the border for sometime. Heck we have CBA officers carrying their baggage for them to the office that was build for them all..lol.
Going off topic here, but you are aware of how bad Trump is for Canada right? The new "Free Trade Agreement" that was suppose to keep us from having tariffs on our aluminum yet he just implemented them again. You may love his politics for Americans but he is trouble for Canada and the Canadian economy.
Yeah, but he's failed miserably in that field. Half of the American people don't agree with his aluminum tariffs because they know there'll be repercussions of some sort. And his handling of covid is probably the worst of all world leaders and a big part of the reason they're going the wrong direction with containing it.
14 thousand Americans flew into Canada last week.
56 thousand people last week from all around the world. Just last week.

Fox ! Is your rebuttal directed at me or are you just throwing it out there .... not sure as you did quote me ?
I am well aware of the social/economics/politics that exist between Canada and the U.S.A. . Personally I think their present leader fails on every aspect of what a head of state should be and YES ... I know ours is no prize either but is still a far cry better . At least he sets aside his ego long enough to listen to his advisors before acting.
I'm pretty sure Trump is going to lose the next election ... I didn't think so just 4 to 6 months ago ... but now I do. Some bad moves he made in recent months that have made him look like an idiot, and who will blame him (right or wrong) when their loved one dies of COVID ... when that kind of emotion is attached to his name ... he's definitely not helping himself.
Anyhow, if he does lose, and doesn't leave office, that will put him in line with a few dictators ... you want to talk about the world markets crashing? It will catalyze a huge global event.
Trump will happily leave his post if voted out. He's man enough he will welcome in a new President when that day comes.
All the cheap talk from main stream media about him not leaving is just a bunch of liberal/democrat leftist hooey. I agree with his stance vis-a-vie mail-in ballots. There's too many ways leftists within the USPS can manipulate ballots,like "accidentally" re-directing ballots to another state from a certain electoral demographic or making them disappear,altogether just for starters. There's a reason most countries don't allow it (ours included) and that's the foremost. The other bugaboo is "voter suppression". That's a dog whistle code word for those citizens with no fixed address and no ID who attempt to vote in more than one electoral district,the majority being black inner-city dwellers from marginalized neighborhoods. Liberal democrats think it's OK because they believe blacks vote exclusively for Democrats. Rest well assured that if the situation was reversed,Democrats would be screaming from the roof tops. No person should be allowed to vote unless they can prove their citizenship,have a fixed address,be on the voter's list and be able to provide valid ID. "Vouching" should be illegal punishable by six months in jail for a first offense.
Oh for sure lol.
He is only volunteering for the job he has said it several times, not sure how much truth to it . Maybe it's TRUE and has never been paid paid to be president.
I know our scum of an pm took 20 thousand dollars from a we charity event. The event was a bust and lost 21 thousand our mp at the time kept the money. It's a charity for crying out loud lol. Probably a millionaire and he still let them go bust he doesn't care for the people of the charity .

If Trump loses he will leave. The right had the same worries about Obama leaving and the left had worries about Bush. It's just one of the talking points in the 4 year cycle.
If you can get past the media hate and look at what he has actually done for his country it's quite good. Yes he is arrogant and says/tweets some stupid s**t but for the most part his policies are sound.
In November the silent majority will speak, Trump will be president for another 4 years and the world will be a better place for it.
Hilary was the alternative, the USA is far better off with Trump.
Those people are called projectionists, they accuse others of what they're doing themselves. The same people claimed the exact same thing four years ago leading into the last election. The proof is there to see.
The Dems are the ones that immediately called the winner illegitimate(Russia helped him win). They conspired to use the government agencies to set up and frame an innocent man and his associates with the potential to spend the rest of their lives in prison. This happened in the beginning. What did he do at the point to deserve that, seriously.
Then they switched to impeachment to have him removed and cover their tracks. That's not what you call excepting the results is it?
The media's attempt to cancel culture Trump at the start, was the beginning of the hate campaign.
The last four years have been an example of how effective propaganda can be. We've never seen such an onslaught of hatred directed not just at an individual but any person that shows any support of him.
Four years is a long time to think it hasn't had a huge behavior effect on part of the population. Even our media carried water for the Dem's.
The media's ability to turn every story of trump as negative has dumb down people's intuition. To question if Trump would accept defeat and seemingly ignore that it's an accusation from the very people who clearly aren't accepting the results of the last election is an example of that.
The Dems are obviously the ones not willing to except the election results.
The fact they're running with this story again, likely means we're in for another four years of attacks and propaganda.
He see the UN for what it is and calls them out. Calling out the UN, WHO and China is good for everyone, it's gives other leaders the opportunity to do the same without going it alone. What is Trump's foreign aggression record vs Bush or Obama. I wonder what Trump's drone strike record is vs Obama, probably less. The world is better off with a strong America and governments like Canada's would be wise to find ways to work with them instead of continually poking the bear.
China would love to have Biden in power....where would the world be then?

84% support for mandatory indoor masks to combat COVID-19 in Ontario, poll finds
More than four out of five Ontarians support making it mandatory to wear masks indoors to curb the spread of COVID-19, a new poll for the Star has found.
The Campaign Research survey found that 63 per cent of respondents “strongly support” compulsory indoor masks, while 21 per cent “somewhat support” them. Only six per cent “strongly oppose” masks with eight per cent “somewhat” opposed and the rest unsure.
Campaign Research principal Nick Kouvalis said the overall 84 per cent support is significant five months into a pandemic that has killed more than 2,800 Ontarians, plunged the province into a recession and cost nearly 1.2-million jobs.
“People believe wearing masks inside helps. It’s just not controversial here like it is in the United States,” Kouvalis said Friday.
Indeed, south of the border, sporting a mask is derided in some quarters as a political statement.
But numerous Ontario regions and municipalities — including Toronto, Peel, Halton, York, Durham and Ottawa — have enacted bylaws requiring masks to be worn in indoor public places, such as shops, with little public outcry.
“We are in way better shape in Ontario than in the U.S.,” Kouvalis said, referring to the province’s relatively low count of new cases that contrasts sharply to some American states where the virus is spreading rapidly.
One size fits all..eh?

Badenoch-there is an old saying-just because one shouts his own points in an argument does not make his points more strong.
Name calling is becoming a trend here with our leftists friends,calling people dunderheads,dumbas...es,wacko's,you name it,easy to make the list longer ,just look up some old threads.........then pulling out swear words like-racist, homophob ,anti this -anti that etc,
All in overwhelming cases just to substantiate one's pints in a debate.
Is there a better way .............???
Or maybe it is not,so the only one way to try to bring thru points and potentially try to "win" an argument is by name calling.
Pathetic.
LOL. When the supporters of wearing masks are called "sheep" or referred to in other derogatory terms you have nothing to say. When the anti-mask mouth-breathers get a little in return you rise up on your high horse and start dishing out great heaping helpings of condescension. Weak.
The masks are not about safety if they were the WHO and other bodies/"authorities" would not have flip flopped on them. If it was about safety there would be standards for the masks not just any piece of cloth over your face. Anyone that believes there is science behind the mask issue needs to do some reading other than the headlines. I would say the masks are about control but that would give our leaders too much credit. We don't have leaders in this country anymore, they are followers getting advice from their medical advisors and they are failing to properly balance that advice against the advice of psychologists, economists etc. The singular focus of the governments approach to this should be disturbing to everyone. Many people are pro mask because the government / media have terrorized the population with their fear mongering and the masks help them deal with that fear. The Federal and provincial governments have passed the mask issue to the municipalities so that the can use bylaws instead of properly debated legislation. I doubt any mask legislation enacted outside of a declared emergency would hold up to a court challenge because there isn't enough evidence that they make a noticeable difference.
Masks are becoming a virtue signal and that's not good for anyone.
Exactly Jakezilla.
My firend-lets do this your way:I am not sitting on high horse,contrary to You-who is taking every opportunity to show moral superiority.
As far as sitting on high horse for mask debate-you can do yourself a favor, not to be looking unaware-clueless or just ignorant.Way baaaack i made statement,that my take on the masks is simple:if that is what takes to get our normal life back,i am all for it,That is about Your theory of my high horse .
As far as sheep as a derogatory term concerned-as other mentioned ,You started name calling,do not expect anything less back........regardless,calling one sheep even by urban slang is a whole lot meeker,then dumba..ss,dudnerhead or wacko.
If you step down from your moral high horse,even You may realize that.
As far as"weak" concerned-i try to avoid shouting in people's faces,as much as i can,so calling me weak is a compliment.
LOL
Wow were at 53 pages. I should check what the record is.
I know Liberals and Conservatives who are anti mask and I know some that are pro mask. Most of my friends have no issue wearing a mask.
Just about ready to put this thread to bed or what?

My local Foodland provides them as well as gloves, only one person has caused an issue and he shoved the employee. The police were called, he was charged with assault and is now banned from all Foodland stores. Serves him right, shoving an employee a 16 year old girl.

Figure I might as well get dual use from them.
That being said, for something that's "mandatory", I still haven't been in a situation where I've actually had to wear one yet. Thought maybe yesterday at a baptism, until I saw the sign that masks were not required but strongly recommended... so not required. I did watch a masked woman at the back lower hers enough to pick her nose for a few minutes before finally finding a tissue and finishing the job, then she put it back on. Doing her part I guess. Watched some waitresses on a patio nearby wearing them on their chins as well.
What a farce.

I am thinking about going this route as well. They are cheap and I can leave it around my neck until I need it lifted up. Carrying a mask every time I switch around vehicles just adds to the list of things I need to transfer around or remember to bring lol.
Are they comfortable to wear? I have never tried them but have seen a few people wearing them .

I tried to order from them,but,the order never showed. I tried calling and e-mailing and got "crickets". Package tracing was a joke with USPS. I tried a charge back on my CC. That didn't work,either. It might be another Facebook scam. I hope you have better luck than I did. I finally ordered from Cabela's. Had the order in a week.
Jeez, I hope I don't end up in the same boat, that's too bad. A buddy at work has ordered from them quite a few times so I went with his recommendation. I ordered about a week and a half ago, tracking says it was just processed through Miami. Small order so I won't be out too much if it never shows. Fingers crossed.

Another site to try is Wish. Lots to choose, I have ordered without issue. Just takes about 6-8 weeks.
Wish is always slow .
Amazon prime can't beat it , some orders made Friday and delivered on Monday lol. Sometimes they have free prime just don't forget to cancel or they will charge ya but usually pay it back if you cancel. We just pay the membership now think it like 80 bucks a year . We always order online so its no different then having a Costco account we barely use .

I don't know which is worse,the media-driven hysteria or the virus,itself.
Apparently Australia is already talking mandatory vaccination.

So to some degree they are mandatory .
I will be getting the shingles vaccine, luckily my health plan covers it. My Dad had shingles and it caused some nerve damage, a woman I knew who worked at the bank died from complications. So I'm definitely not anti vaccine, but the Covid vaccine needs to be properly tested. Lot's of people will sign up for the first tests so we will know some answers 6 - 12 months afterwards. Also it is possible Covid might just disappear like the Spanish flu did.
In early childhood,we were all vaccinated against Smallpox,Polio,Measles,Mumps,Rubella,Tuberculosis, Tetanus,Diphtheria,Typhus,Typhoid,Whooping Cough (Pertussis) and a couple of others ,the names of which currently escape me. During the FLQ crisis in October 1970,I was involved with security and intel gathering at various locations around Ontario and Quebec which required a full set of international disease vaccinations from Dengue Fever to Malaria. It's a wonder I don't glow in the dark. Today,I enjoy the constitution of a horse. The point I'm trying to make is after all that,it didn't hurt me one damn bit,my kids all have ten fingers and ten toes and are reasonably well adjusted and intelligent. I think all these anti-vaxxers are NOT the swiftest Bunnies in the forest.
There is no corona virus vaccine coming in the sense of a traditional vaccine. Any corona virus vaccine that comes out will be an experimental RNA vaccine. There was no vaccine developed for SARS (SARS COV 1), and they tried, they aren't going to come up with a traditional vaccine for COVID (SARS COV 2) either.
I travel internationally for work and have a full set of vaccines so I am not an anti vaxxer but I do have some questions. Everything I have read about this experimental COVID vaccine makes me think I will probably take a pass.
Doctors are finding out that there are after affects of covid, unlike the 'regular', flu. How much after , how severe , we are just figuring that out.
Yes that is correct. However that does not mean we will find a vaccine and we may never and if one of the potential vaccines do work it will not be available until in late 2021 or sometime in 2022. We can't hide forever and we cannot shut down again in such mass. I keep reading people who think we need to shut down everything 100%. Just imagine if farmers and food plants had shut down completely we would all starve to death in a year.
We may end up having to live with this until it hopefully goes away like the Spanish Flu did. Yup more people will get sick and more will die. But luckily we are not even close to the numbers of the Spanish Flu, which considering it was harder for it to migrate still managed to kill 50 million people.
Don't know who told you Influenza is a Corona virus. It is not. Influenza is in the Orthomyxo family of viruses. Different types of vaccines and different mutation abilities. As someone else stated there has never been a vaccine for any virus in the Corona family. If and when there is it will be a first and essentially an experiment on a grand scale.

Well I think this clip answers my question earlier on as to why the big difference in our death rates.
The only current remedies/therapeutics in Canada for covid19, is a drug (Veklury) prescribed when the patient is on their last leg with pneumonia.
Seriously?
Where is the media's concern on being prepared if you contract this disease. It seems they're too busy worrying about the division they can create over wearing masks.
The US is on the eve of reducing their death rate into the 2% range.
There's a reason that's being ignored.
It's pathetic and needlessly costing lives.
How is it that the number one reason for creating this hysteria is the least mentioned. Not even being tracked.
People are under the assumption that any vaccine will be a vaccine in the traditional sense, it's not. Anything put forward will probably not go through the proper testing channels due to "emergency".
How the experimental vaccine works.
"The technology inserts coronavirus genetic code into each person, forever changing genetics and cellular processes in their body. The coronavirus RNA reprograms human cells to produce spike proteins, forcing the immune system to fight properties of a virus that are being artificially manufactured by the body’s own cells. The effects of this technology are trans-generational; the cellular manipulation can be passed down to future generations. Leading ethicists and scientists called for an end to this kind of trans-generational human genome editing in a January 2020 Geneva Statement."

Not being an MD or a research scientist,I really have no idea how vaccines work or on what except there's no vaccine in the world that cures a viral infection. If there was,the common cold would have disappeared decades ago. I'm going to hedge my bets and still get a yearly flu shot. As my MD told me,it may not prevent infection,but,there's a better than even chance it will greatly reduce the severity if I do pick up a bug.
Following the advice of your MD is a good plan. Just pointing out that comparisons to the Flu vaccine are not valid as the Corona vaccines being tested/developed are a totally different animal. The types of vaccine they are developing for COVID have never been used successfully in humans so if they succeed it will be a medical/scientific first.
Myself i will probably wait a bit but eventually get it if it appears to work. Similar to others i have been vaccinated up the Ying Yang for work and travel in Africa and Asia and to date have never had a bad reaction. Anecdotal for sure but my take is on the average they do far more good than harm.
Not in this fashion where they they want it roll it out across the population. There's a difference between jacking with stuff in a lab and wanting to use the whole world and population as your laboratory.
Like Species8472 said this is experimental and has never actually worked. Conducting a worldwide experiment with a new type of experimental vaccine that alters your DNA for a virus with a mortality rate on par with the flu is knowledge without wisdom put into practice. For that matter the whole world's response to COVID has been an example of knowledge without wisdom.
Funny thing is-if let's say the Russians invent the vaccine(they might-we never know)"just because" they are Russians ,they have enough smarts.........no need to underestimate them.
Anyhow-i bet if they do,we will never see it.
Just so "our "North American Pharmaceutical Companies "stay in business".
So, who we will worship then............?
Wait, wasn't there a vaccine for H1N1?? ... I remember pretty much all of Canada had to take it. Do you think that was fully tested, with full knowledge of the implications to the humane genome? I doubt it ... I think almost all these things are just experiments with limited knowledge.
I'm not arguing against you ... for sure the planning has been pathetic. And for sure it's because people are panacking, and my opinion is either it is unjustified, or the government is not telling us something (either they know something about this virus that is really bad that they aren't telling us ... or they are using this specifically as part of some major plot against humanity ... likely to do with the markets and/or control).
There certainly was no mandatory vaccine for the H1N1 influenza. Same as the annual flu shot it was totally voluntary. Anyone who did get it would have immunity anyway. Interestingly enough it turned out that many elderly people already had immunity to it from being exposed to it in the past.
I am not trying argue either I am just trying to get some information out there and see if anyone has any better ideas.
The H1N1 vaccination would have been a traditional vaccination where you are injected with the dead virus and your body creates the antibodies. There are no implications to the human genome with traditional vaccination as far as I know.
This mRNA technology is a whole different technology. I am not a scientist or a doctor but my understanding is that it involves programming your DNA to emit proteins similar to the virus that your body then creates antibodies for. This has never been done successfully, it's all theoretical. Any threat to your progeny may be theoretical but do we want to take a chance for COVID. Is it really worth the risk? People being tested with it in current trials are asked not to have unprotected sex or donate sperm.
"As precautions, Moderna ordered trial participants to avoid unprotected sex or sperm donations"
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/n...illion-humans/
Any vaccine they talk about will be this type, they have never successfully created a traditional vaccine for something like COVID.
If people want to take it go for it. If they try to mandate it or make a prerequisite for travel, public gatherings etc. there needs to be some push back. This all started with 2 weeks to flatten the curve and now we are here with mandated masks. Are they going to continue with the fear and coercion until we willing accept an experimental vaccine? Where does it stop, what's the goal? Zero deaths? Every time we meet a goal they move the goalposts and we all keep playing along. 9000 covid deaths in Canada with 80% of those in long term care homes. Those deaths are a tragedy but they aren't the catastrophe that warrants the current response.
As for politicians using this crisis, start paying attention to the phrase "Build Back Better" you probably have already heard or will hear that from politicians in the near future. Type those three words into your search engine and start reading. It's the UN agenda to reorder the world economy on sustainable practices (green energy etc). Everyone in Ontario knows how well that works. This crisis is being used to try and implement this policy. Canada, the UK, the democrats and others are all starting to use that phrase in their speeches and in turn developing policies along those lines.
I dont honestly don't believe they will find a cure for covid. My belief is they will find something down the line of the yearly flu shot which will lessen the impact if you catch it but what ever they come out with I will certainly get in line for it. Whether I die from the shot or getting covid 19 I look at it this way we are all going to die someday some sooner than others it's called life.
The H1N1 swine flu pandemic was in 2009. It's not SARS, which is an illness caused by a coronavirus. That epidemic was in 2002/3 and since 2004 there has not been a case of it anywhere in the world according to the CDC. Lets hope that the same thing happens with this new related coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 which causes the Covid 19 disease.
Hey Trimmer, I think you were close but just crossed influenza with the common cold. There are a few coronaviruses associated with the common cold, none of which a successful vaccine has been created for either.
As a side note, you might be interested to hear that my order from safishing.com finally arrived. Must have just been a shipping problem with your order. Unfortunately there's been a few packages that were "lost" en route to our place over the last few months as well.
Mask's they work in the lab but not so much in the community.

Speaking of masks...saw this on Marketplace, confirms what anyone with any kind of smarts already knew...
Those fabric masks, the ones with Logos etc and the Bandanna and Gator types people are wearing are pretty much useless and probably leading to the spread of the virus more than preventing it. Love watching people roll them up stuff then in their pockets 5-6 times a days for weeks on end..HaHa.

Maybe someone will see the obvious link between the rise of case in Ontario and them making masks mandatory...the data show we were doing better before they did that.
I don't agree that the masks are stopping the spread. The spread was far less when no one was wearing a mask so where is the proof of your claim?
Useless little p*#3y, not at all. I can think for myself and more than happy to pm you my address if youd like to see how much of a pu#3y I am...lol
That's the new ara pull out your phone and film it. I have seen dozens of videos from the local high school over the years. Including a few nasty ones that involves a hospital trip.
The good thing there is no denying it as the video is sent to the entire school in 4 or 5 minutes lol. The proof is in the video [emoji23].

"Medical masks are face coverings that make medical "claims" of reducing or preventing COVID-19 for the user. They're regulated as Class I medical devices."
This is currently off the Gov of Canada's web page on masks.
Anyone with a half of a brain could recognize that the language of this statement on its face, verifies the lack of evidence supporting masks.
