Covid 2nd Wave....fact or fiction

[greatwhite]

Yeah but I am not going to run and hide, I don't really go out to the city other then for food and beer so my life pretty much continues.
I generally just hang around home and my stomping grounds and the few people I hang with don't do much else either.
I'm also making lot's of money from this.

Well more shut downs in the city.

We are in for a long ride .

Me,neither. Our grandkids contact us by Facebook, Skype and good ol' phone at least once a week. I get out for groceries and beer as needed and mess around the yard to keep busy. Freezer and pantry is always full. Mrs.T's health isn't the best,so,if she gets sick,it will be a be a real bad scene. We're very conscientious about cleaning,masks,hand washing,but,not to the point of paranoia. I get out to the woods or the lake as often as I can,usually a few times a week to keep my sanity and Mrs. T can use the peace and quiet for awhile (so she says). We're doing OK,but,the sooner this political hysteria is over,the better for everybody on both sides of the border.

That's not good.

That would be the same as my mom or my wife. My mom is old (well compared to me) and my wife works in daycare and get sick easily to begin with.

But we continue on anyways, my wife still spends my money .

But I am very excited about deer hunting this year then I have been in 20 years, with the son that hunts he can now use a gun on his own
and we have deer coming to our stands, no guarantee but we get to finally hunt together fully setup.

Mrs.T's health isn't the best,so,if she gets sick,it will be a be a real bad scene.

Update: 10 days later

The Hysteria continues. Since the day I started this thread the Covid 2nd Wave cases have 'soared' according to the politicians/media. So much so they cancelled Thanksgiving.

The TRUTH based on numbers provided by Health Ontario:

Back on Sept 30th the positive rate (cases vs tested) was 1.3%.....it is now (Oct 9th) ..hold onto your hats...at 2.0% ....a whooping .7% increase and they shut down the economy again.

Locally (Ottawa) : On Sept 30th there were 30 people in the hospital including 4 in the ICU..today (Oct 8th) there are 33 in hospital with 8 in the ICU.

Yes the city of Ottawa just went into lock down again with only 33 people sick enough to be in a hospital in a population of 1.3 million !!
For perspective, that represents 0.00275% of the population of the city are in the hospital with Covid.

A visual ref: been to an NHL game....see the size of the crowd...the Canadian Tire Centre (NHL) holds about 20,000 people. The rate of hospitalized people at .00275% represent .5 person. In a crowd of 20,000 people that is less than 1 person.

On the provincial level...with a population of 15 million....as of Oct 9th the Covid data shows that there are now 225 people in the hospital, with 47 in ICU.
That represent only 0.0015% of the population.

They continue to embellish the data that tracks the number of cases found...but continue NOT to provide what that statistically represents to the number of people tested and how that relates to the overall population.

There is NO proof in the data being collected by Health Ontario that the Covid virus is in a 2nd wave. ...unless you believe a .7% increase in positive results constitutes a statistical 'wave'.

Are the government lies about controlling the people/money????????

Well that is the question isn't it. I know this has been a great experiment in social engineering. For the most part, the masses have respond with compliance to the threat of authority.
Beyond that, who knows what the end game is.

[fratri]

I think the end game is to get re-elected.....
More voters willing to side on caution than not..
Play it up to your base and you get the votes...
And I agree .. post the hospital stats daily... They will be a truer indicator

[johnjyb]

Not to stir the pot too much, but any numbers can be twisted to fit anyones agenda. The 1.3% up to 2% rise in rates is really an increase of over 50% not 0.7%.
