Covid 2nd Wave....fact or fiction

[MoiraView]

Here’s a great and accurate opinion piece. https://midwesternnewspapers.com/the...cing-the-many/

Look no further than the barely-mentioned announcement last week that Peterborough has had almost 3 x as many fatal drug overdoses as they had by this time last year, even though they were on the same pace as last year before the lockdown. Suicides are up by similar numbers due to isolation, reduced access to treatment, bankruptcy etc. It seems obvious that dozens, probably many dozen, have died in Peterborough alone because of the lockdown.

One COVID death and wall to wall coverage.
It’s getting pretty obvious that those in charge value some lives more than others.

I DO know one person who died of it, a family friend in her 80s who came home sick from California days before the lockdown. Great lady but quite possibly would have been gone by now with or without COVID

Great article-how true.
Collateral damage is far greater-yet no one in position to change things ,considers a bit of it.

AND THEN-no one talks about the children growing up in masks-their view of life as normal will be -wearing mask? How sad and disturbing.

Once here a poster said about the COVID paranoia-we amputated our arm because of a papercut!

By they way-if it helps ,i know 2 guys they had COVID, one was suffering for a month to get back to normal life.
Gentleman in early sixties. I know this-because of him i was also in home self isolation for a week(why a week?-that is another aspect of this madness)
He got ill Friday-went to test on Monday(early spring that was the norm for testing ........)So he got told to stay home until the result comes out.
The result was out Thursday, and i was contacted by the Public Health Unit on late Friday(week later).
So-the 15 days of self isolation turned out to be 7 days for me.(Because Friday to Friday was the other part of it)
I could have infected 100 people from Friday(when he got ill-and i talked to him on that day-no masks at the time- so i became a suspect)til next Friday when I was told to self isolate.
Thanx GOD nothing happened to me.

Even today i can not wrap my head around this-either we do ,or we do not.How come inbetween is also good???
Where was-is the speed of testing here???Canada is not a third world country!

The other COVID guy just laughed all the way in the quarantine(i think and he thinks-he was just misdiagnosed).

Now,here it is why i am a bit biased with this COVID thing.

Just as an aside to this, I read a report indicating we have a 1.45 Trillion dollar debt now....if we were to pay back one million dollars a day, not including interest, that debt would take in excess of 3.9 thousand years...hard to wrap ones head around those kind of numbers. I haven’t checked the math myself...maybe someone better at math can verify those numbers.

Nothing to worry about all we have to do is TAX the crap out of those who are not paying their fair share.

The Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer says the top one per cent of Canada’s families hold about 25.6 per cent of the wealth, up from the 13.7 per cent estimate under previous methodology.

According to the report, the amount of money held by all Canadian families totals $11.7 trillion if they liquidated all assets and paid off all liabilities — 25.6 per cent would equate to about $3 trillion.

The report finds that the top 0.5 per cent of Canadian families hold 20.5 per cent or $2.4 trillion of the wealth, up from the previous estimate of 9.2 per cent.


The new calculation incorporates information from Canadian Business magazine’s 2017 Richest People List, with figures from Statistics Canada’s 2016 net worth survey and its fourth quarter 2016 National Balance Sheet Accounts report.

The second wave, I find this interesting.

Were all wearing bullet proof underwear on our faces, how could anyone possibly catch Covid? Were all masked up and reporting the highest numbers to date! Could it be , a farce....

All these folks hurting so horribly, all out of work, then tell me why I can't find men to work for me? I am working 7 days a week and turning down over 80% of the folks that call yet, a recession is hitting?

This whole thing stinks from top to bottom and the smell just isn't from my fruit of the loom mask.

sad to say that when you pay people to stay home..they will...on the other hand..precautionary measures can be taken and get people to work and remain healthy. I think what Fords doing is on the right path, however, Mr. fancy socks already has my grandkids grandkids paying off his monetary mistakes. i`ll be dust in the wind before all this crap is done.

Remember the masks that most are wearing are not to protect the user. Unless you are using n95 mask or better and have proper training on mask handling.

The protocols for covid 19 are the same for the influenza virus if you can catch one you can catch the other .


Too bad about your work it's been the same case everywhere. I think the government mucked up hard with the payments to stay home . Before you would stand in line all day for some food vouchers and loaf of bread. Now you call a number and have a few grand in about 30 seconds time.

It has fueled another crisis on its own between people not wanting to work and the scum that now has a free drug supply fully funded by our government. Sad .

Hopefully the UI system will get a grip on the $2K a month freebee the Village Idiot is handing out with no scrutiny. Spoke with more than a few employeeres who can't entice kids to come back to work when they can sit in Mom and Dads basement and collect money for free.

Heard a case on the radio of a couples 'dependant' kids stayed home all summer pulling in the CERB while their family income of $135K a year was not affected. Wonder if the Tax man will at least catch this abuse of the system.
