Hammer Down

[Blaithin]

I don’t know that shopping is generally the stupid activity. It’s hanging out with friends, sports, supper, that sort of thing.

I said it before on here somewhere, but it feels like not hanging out with friends or family is like you don’t trust them. But it’s not really about trust, you just don’t know who’s exposed to what or when.

Coworkers go hang out with say 5 friends regularly. Those 5 friends have 5 friends, etc etc etc. Somebody plays hockey or gets hammered at the bar or goes out on a date and bam, all of a sudden it’s in my circle. I’m a hermit who sees practically nobody but my co workers. They trust their friends to not get them sick, but I have no idea who their friends are. Too me they’re people hanging out in groups that are likely to lead to me taking the virus home to my morose mom who’s convinced she’ll die if she gets it.

Yeah people need to socialize but considering how much time we spend on social media on our phones... stop doing it in person so much!

But again, I’m a hermit who sees nobody. It really wouldn’t bother me if I couldn’t see anyone for weeks. I take time off work for holidays and just never leave my yard.

Kinda of mind blowing that it’s that one sided. Never realized it was that high

So here is my question if I understand Jason Kenney correctly all indoor social gatherings are banned for 3 weeks. So my kids and grandkids who all live within 6 miles of me cannot come over to visit. I am 56 and it appears that roughly only 1.5% of covid deaths are occurring outside of long term care homes, how will me not seeing my kids and grandkids change the extremely unfortunate truth that most deaths are occurring in these facilities? Am I missing something here?

Forage yap BS you said I used the Canadian system.

This isn’t about me it’s your attitude.

You show your true colours every time you post.

I have as much of a right to use our system as any other Canadian.

If we had another yes I would use it.

What did they do with school? Hockey?

Why can’t you go 3 weeks without seeing them to see if AHS can get a handle on things again?

Grade 7-12 are online starting Monday, until Jan 11.

K-6 are out starting Dec 18-Jan 11

All sports are done unless the league applies for an exemption with a really good Covid protocol and get approval to go.

I farm with my son so it is necessary to see him daily. So Blaithin explain to me how not seeing my family will change the infection rate?

Yea that pretty much isn't going to happen... The "league" we're in has Karen's willing to drop the gloves when arena management tell them they should wear a mask. Go about 35-40 miles north of here, and that same member of management would likely take you out back and mask on, give you a well deserved tune-up!

Sask will shut sports down this week and gyms again.

We need positive before Christmas or it’s going to be a shit show.

[GDR]

All amateur sports cancelled. School 7 to 12 going online next week and 6 and under unchanged except will have a longer Christmas holiday to allow some time after Christmas to recouperate from any sickness.


Helmsdale I think private music lessons were still allowed, specifically. The measures fir business were only in the "enhanced areas" anyhow. We are now included but you may not be out east.

Really wasn't that big of a change today.
