wow!

Manitoba reports no new probable cases of #COVID19 today, leaving the total at 300.

Depends where the gathering was. Eg. Manitoba is quite stable, so the gathering that happened here is not a good test case.

Maybe the vaccine turns out to be one that is only given to older people - or maybe people will need a booster shot when they're older. But I do think, based on the stats and information we now have, that the approach to Covid 19 will change. Eg. I don't think schools will be completely closed again, but procedures will change and we might see a blend of remote and on - site learning. One thing that does bother me in all of this, is the people who find ways to take advantage. Eg. they are 'isolating at their cabin' and require 6 weeks worth of school work for their child.

Incredible. No wonder trump ordered a baby gate to be erected around the White House.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... I mean, I love Knucks, but................

holy ****, Winnipeg! Amazing!

That is impressive! Well done Winnipeg!

What a great line for that nurse!

Two reasons. One, she's not particularly good at what she does. I have no doubts she's very nice, but she stumbles her way through every hit she does, be it Jets or Bombers games. Two, just because you are a sideline reporter doesn't mean you can do PBP. Not sure how many times I have to tell people, it's an extremely unique skillset that takes years of practice to become even adequate at.

I guess if he's ok with gassing and beating peaceful protesters for a photo op... this is on brand.

There is no good oops.

I don’t get this anti antifa stuff. Are they saying they’re PRO fascism??

The irony of build that wall is so, as Dr.Oz would say, appetizing.

Oh by the way. I think he wants a retainer as well. Riders legend Darian Durant wants media or CFL executive role By 3Down Staff - June 6, 2020

Ok, which ones should have been listened to? Because different approaches were taken (or none were taken) and infection rates were higher United States, Italy, Sweden

Cassie Campbell for the flames is an absolute abomination. No breaking barriers, hire someone competent. If they deem it is a woman, great! If not, I don't want to see any virtue signalling by the CFL and making the game-day product look even more bush than it already is.

Secret Service "Sir the bunker is ready in case they breach the beautiful wall you ordered" Trump "Already there"

This is disgusting in any society. It’s time for a change..

I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope it's okay to do it in this thread. They have identified the SOB and he has been arrested: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/06/us/-maryland-cyclist-assault-anthony-brennan.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

There are a lot of good cops out there, the majority,, in fact, but damned few are willing to speak out.

Just what I’ve been saying. And scary as hell.

That is going stick in trumps craw as soon as someone mentions the size of the protest dwarfs his inauguration crowd.

This tells you all you need to know. Trump, if he could, would violently take control of the country. He’s a dictator in waiting. It really is a modern nazi Germany unfolding here. Fortunately trump is really really stupid.

What was particulary impressive was that there were no police present, nor was there any reason for them to be there. Love this city, warts and all. It has always felt like home, even when I was far away.

I like critical thinking and I like learning about all sides of issues - covid is a rabbit hole with different countries measuring cases and deaths in different ways, some articles go viral while others drift away, all very interesting. Yes do not like to have my liberties infringed unnecessarily... and I have a strong mistrust of government motives - for example... https://thenarwhal.ca/8-things-alberta-suspends-even-more-environmental-monitoring-oil-gas-industry/ ...this was easy to predict... same as Trump destroying environmental regulations using covid as an excuse... etc etc etc My concern from day one is not with lockdown but it is with the 'momentum' of lockdown... I do believe that the 'cure' has fast become more harmful than covid itself - we are just starting to feel the repercussions - i.e. delayed cancer screening, the nursing home controversy, liberties removed, distrust between people, etc In general, people still seem to believe that Covid is as dangerous and contagious as first reported from Italy and China... looking back, it is becoming very evident that this has more of the traits of a traditional respiratory disease than something entirely new. But people now seem ready to shout down any dissenting opinions that don't fit what they were told - instead of seeking out new ideas. I merely took offence at the underlying assumption that I don't have anyone in danger of dying of covid in my life and therefore that's why I am taking a skeptical view of expert and government advice. If that was not your intention, then that's great...

Given that it's June 6th:

Trump Had ‘Shouting Match’ With Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Over Military Crackdown on Protesters America’s highest ranking solider, General Mark Milley, who chairs the Joint Chiefs of Staff, raised his voice when President Trump demanded the regular military be deployed against George Floyd protesters, according to the New Yorker. The verbal tussle happened in the Oval Office just days before Trump’s ill-advised bible photo op, which Milley attended. A senior military official told the New Yorker that the president and Milley “got into a shouting match” with Milley insisting the military could not be dispatched against American civilians. “I’m not doing that,” he reportedly told Trump. “That’s for law enforcement.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/mark-milley-chairman-of-joint-chiefs-of-staff-and-trump-had-shouting-match-over-floyd-protest-crackdown?ref=home

Just to change the tone for a moment, there is very preliminary evidence that the majority of the COVID virus is being carried by what are called "superspreaders". The problem is that there is no quick or easy way to determine who these are.

And you ain't seen nuthin' yet. He is just gonna get more and more unhinged from here on.

Don’t project in how you are thinking? Weird statement. So I’ll ask you directly other then me trying to decipher your motives in critiquing others here. Are you hoping for a I told you so moment or do you believe you are assessing the facts better than some others on this board and that’s all you’re doing? Do you believe your liberties and freedom to move about arr being unnecessarily infringed upon or we won’t know until these next two weeks as you state? If you don’t want to share with others what you are thinking, absolutely your choice but it is a bit odd why you would take that position, especially with your critiques of others here. I knew exactly where J5V was coming from because he shared what he was thinking directly with us that some disagreed with here. I respect that, at least we knew where he was coming from. Sorry @Floyd I didn’t quote your response for you to see. See above for my response your latest response with me.

This is one warped piece of info. Outstanding Scotty!

It feels like to me you're waiting for the 'I told you so' moment not the "I'm looking at this objectively more than others are". In a way I get it, it would be comforting for some who don't have loved elderly relatives or elderly friends and that it's only an older persons problem. If you feel as strongly as it sounds in how others are hunting and pecking information for their purposes and shouting down others, then go out and join the other protestors who want their liberty and freedom back. One thing I'm pretty sure is everyone who posts on this board wants this shite plaque to go away so we can get back to some level of normalcy.

He wants to do NHL broadcasts. How hard is that to understand?

He said the self quarantine showed some of his games on CBC. He is 62 & Sportsnet has the NHL contract another 7 years meaning he'd be 70 if he wanted to call another hockey game so he decided to leave TSN. Nothing to do with the state of football.

Sweden took a chance with horrible results and none of them good and are now going "oops..."

TSN is delusional if they consider Suitor to be a competent analyst.

"The Chinese Communist Party’s callous attempts to exploit George Floyd’s tragic death for its own political gain will fail. During the best of times, Beijing ruthlessly imposes communism. Amid the most difficult challenges, the United States secures freedom." — Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) June 6, 2020 So, he is talking about ....callous attempts to exploit George Floyd’s tragic death for political gain? The Trump administration is simply rife with unbelievable hypocrites.

With everything that has happened in the last few weeks does anyone else think that Biden's pick for VP has to be a woman of colour.

Imagine the guidance on certain issues being given by Biden's handlers right now. But I want to let people know . . .. Shhhhh Joe as they point over to the deranged idiot blustering away with his lies and mental instability.

The GOP is very similar to the Police Officers involved in the George Floyd murder. Trump's the one with the knee on the neck of America and the GOP senators are the ones watching, standing around, aiding and abetting.
