Covid 2nd Wave....fact or fiction

[fishfood]

very good breakdown of the #'s Mike...I dont get the hysteria and I've said it before that the long term damage from people avoiding hospitals (cancer screening ,etc) mental health, and the damaging of peoples livelihoods and businesses will be very very detrimental to this country and far outweighs "covid"

Maybe Im just crazy though, real estate prices are sky high, houses are selling, and we have a prime minister that goes on TV everyday and tells us what a good job he is doing!

There was a talk on the radio yesterday about it .
Cancer is spreading fast many people are ignoring the sings untill it is to late . My last grandmother was rushed to the hospital the other day. She was diagnosed with leukemia they said it's not about what if but it's only a matter of time.[emoji26]


Among other issues covid might not be the number one killer this year.

Covid fatigue is setting in

Pandemic fatigue what ever you want to call it lol.
People are just starting to see what's coming and now we are going into a second setting.

Some people working from home are not coping well. Even with good jobs working from home , staying at home , staying more at home . Many are almost at breaking points and thinking of changing careers.

It's not so easy for some to just be at home all day . It's not healthy in the long run.

The ramifications of this continuous lock down is going to affect a lot more people adversely (mentally/physically) than the virus would have. If they threaten to continue with it into the Christmas season it's going to get ugly.

Yup. How many still agree with the path that our provincial Conservative government has chosen? The provinces have been given significant autonomy by the federal government , to decide whether lock downs are in the best interest of their citizens. Evidence of such has been shown ,by how various provinces have mandated certain rules. Are we doing the right thing?

you can ask that question but the problem is the only time youll know if it really was the right thing to do will be after this is all over. everyone can speculate all they want and give all the arguments int he world for both sides, but we wont know if what we are doing is actually working until everything is all said and done or close to it. which again is who knows when.

I believe one of the best options if available to you is get outside for an hour or more a day even if it's miserable weather. Might be a bit harder for condo/apartment dwellers but I'm sure yuo can find a place to go walk without being over run by others. This stuff is not going away any time soon, may as well find some ways to improve your sanity.

I haven't liked the plan from the beginning. The slow and bumpy Rd is going to have very bad effects on so many more .

Wait untill we are still dealing with this in spring still. Next summer [emoji90] is going to hit the fan. I have heard all year how next year will be so much better. The Spanish flu was 3 years the entire pandemic. We will be looking about the same . I do not see this just magically disappearing over the winter the worst is yet to come. I told my youngest today that it could possibly be 3 years before things start to become normal again. . Why lie about it lol. And well if I'm wrong I won't be disappointed lol. [emoji2957]




Don't worry our government will continue to hand out lots of money in the mean time. The more we spend will help the economy later they say[emoji23]. . There going to spend to early tho then shut us down again and again and everyone will still be in the hole [emoji1787] .

Remember there is no effective vaccine for the bad influenza virus that spread in the 1918 and the pandemic lasted 3 years. Who is to say it will go away like the other did. We can just hope for the best that's all.

I agree, in fact, in general have a routine ... force yourself up at the same time every day. Have different objectives each day, but on a regular schedule like:

- Monday, work out. Clean the yard.
- Tuesday, cook something interesting
- Wed, work out. Read a chapter of a book.
- Thursday, go grocery shopping
- Friday, movie night w/ popcorn.
- Saturday, work out ... fix something around the house.
- Sunday, go for a drive or whatsapp a friend you haven't seen in a while.

Routine is good.

I hate routines, and since I retired haven't had one. But I'm outside all the time, swim bike or run almost every day. There is no reason for people to sit inside and complain that they can't get out.
Fresh air is wonderful and nobody has yet told us we can't go outside nor will they.

Nothing much hasn't change for me. I go to town as little as I can, the rest of the time I am at home or out around here. Maybe hunting, fishing, camping or doing chores. I don't go to bars and I don't do movies unless my wife makes me go to one with her, I usually go to the movies every 2 or 3 years. Most of my friends seem to actually like Covid they all work from home now on their own schedules. My best friend has become a hermit and only goes to Pembrook every 2 or 3 months to get groceries and he tries to order most stuff he needs from online.
My biggest possibility of us getting Covid is through my wife who works at a daycare in one of the poorest sections of Ottawa but she
gets tested every week. She also wears a mask and shield as well as gloves.
