On one hand, it may be a good way to backtrack spreaders of infection to identify where it came from but I can foresee all manner of potentials for abuse by authorities and hackers. Yeah it's not worth it given the governments never roll back their own power.

The problem with Jason Kenney is that he actually believes he's smarter than everyone, so I'm concerned that he stops listening to the experts. As long as we're following the W.H.O. guidelines, I'm good with whatever... You may not like Kenney & that is your right but he's not a stupid politician. Ottawa will always be in his crosshairs, especially Trudeau so it works well to criticize the federal government back here. He also knows the consequences are dire if the Alberta economy is opened too soon. Nothing wrong for planning for an opening & how it should be done. Provincial governments should be discussing how the economic rollout will occur in Canada. I have no problem with that at all. BTW, did you see the story that Legault in Quebec reopened the mining sector yesterday (April 15th) much to the objections of First Nations in Quebec worried that an influx of miners on their lands will sicken their population already vulnerable to the Covid virus. No one in the Canadian MSM is criticizing the Premier for that. If it was Kenney he'd be demonized & front page news. Edited April 17, 20205 yr by SpeedFlex27
April 17, 20205 yr comment_470591 Kenney isn't stupid but he is an ideologue. He will hurt anyone he needs to to see his ideology implemented.

Saw an expert on cnn say they may have a vaccine ready for front line health care workers by fall. It would be subject to special approval for that reason. And a full public vaccine available widely by spring. Which honestly sound like good news.

April 17, 20205 yr comment_470655 Some of these guns toting Trump supports are going to take things to far, and I wouldn't put it past Trump to hope that they do.
April 17, 20205 yr comment_470657 For all those “it’s just the flu and no one cares about that” folks. Covid has surpassed the entire seasonal flu death rate of the 18/19 season in obviously a much shorter time frame. And work obviously massive efforts to contain it. Some seasons were higher (upwards of 60,000). But facts are facts. Logic is logic. And I wonder how much the idiotic anti vaccine people contributed to bad flu seasons.
April 17, 20205 yr comment_470660 Proud boys in Michigan waving guns and Confederate flags, clogging roads leading to hospitals and blocking ambulances from hospital ramps is just about the most indefensible thing I've heard of so far. The 5G people are crazy, these people are just despicable. https://www.michiganadvance.com/2020/04/15/whitmer-stay-home-order-protest-turns-into-trump-celebration-with-confederate-flags-and-guns/

Trump has already dropped broad hints that he expects his followers to resort to violence if/when he is turfed. He will deny encouraging them, but the understanding is clear. After all, they are "fine people".
