People really have to accept the idea of "a new normal". Masks, distancing, etc.... the way we're living (or SHOULD be, if you're not a moron) is how we'll be living for a long time to come. In fact some stuff will hopefully be with us forever, to help keep Cold/Flu infections down, even after COVID has (hopefully) been eradicated.

Can't be honest because the nut-jobbers come out: We don't have to look far to find them. The Anti-science and anti-evidence nutters are all around us.

August 5, 20204 yr comment_482109 I have it on good authority that this virus will be going away. In fact I’ve heard it’s going away, will just disappear, 23 times. In fact, we all have. There is one thing we all wish would go away..
August 5, 20204 yr comment_482110 2 - 3 years... how will Chaise on Corydon survive with those frequent fines /s At my work they are assuming that we won't be back at the office full time for at least another year. I think most businesses around here have adjusted well with the changes.

August 6, 20204 yr comment_482150 Half from Southern Health, half from Brandon meat plant, 1 in Winnipeg.

The data also shows: 10 current hospitalizations, with five individuals in intensive care, 118 active cases and 348 individuals have recovered from COVID-19, and the number of deaths due to COVID-19 is eight
August 6, 20204 yr comment_482152 Dr. Roussin basically said that as long as we continue to follow the fundamentals (wash hands, social distance, and wear masks when that's not possible), then there is no need for any other extraordinary precautions. Most of the cases have all been linked (other investigations are still ongoing), so they are not concerned that anything out of the ordinary is happening.
August 6, 20204 yr comment_482153 25 of the 30 are linked to one case. A jackass flew to Montreal and back and didn't self-isolate properly and infected a bunch of people. Honestly, who the **** is flying during a pandemic?? I can't think of anything more stupid.

August 6, 20204 yr comment_482164 apparently the Tim's on the Trans Can at Brandon is also closed now. I'd be shocked if that wasn't at least somewhat related to the Maple Leaf outbreak....

Ontario has finally got **** figured out. Alberta has had 4 consecutive days of declining numbers. Too soon to celebrate, but here's hoping the message regarding masks and better social distancing in public is starting to get through... The long weekend was a week ago.
