People can still find plenty of online 'sources' who convince them that Trump will remain President. Believe it or not, I was offered a $20 bet today, that Trump would remain in office What the heck, I can always use a little more beer money.

I started a new topic titled 'religious issues.'

With a 40% test positivity rate. some level of herd immunity may have been achieved. There will be numerous asymptomatic individuals who did not get tested.

Man, I don’t know. I’m aware of a scenario where two people were exposed at the same event. They both got tested, one of them was negative initially, but later tested positive, once he had symptoms. This was all within 7 days of exposure. Further, CDC indicates a range of 2 - 14 days, with a median of 5 - 6 days. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html

Any people that I'm aware of who got ill and/or seriously ill from Covid 19, were sick within a week of their exposure. Asymptomatic people will generally test negative.

Too many assumptions. There are pictures in the news of cars parked spaced apart from each other.

If everyone stays in their car, how is it not a virtual service?

That's the heart of the problem, right there. Fortunately, most churches are not like this.

Read the freep article.

Yes, just saw this on a Melissa Martin Facebook post. Total BS, the hotel owners deserve an apology.

It's about time!

Ahhh Dr. Bohemier - the quackiest chiropractor you'll ever meet - he convinced a fairly large following to not vaccinate their kids. I see he's still active after retirement...

A slight adjustment to the school calendar today - the 3 PD days that had been removed were added again - two before Christmas & one after Christmas. So, at least there'll be less traffic in schools on those days.

I was more than a little surprised that they didn't mention schools. March 23 was the day we shut down in Spring, with 24 cases. But remote learning is such a gong show - and a hybrid model is even worse. They are being informed about this every day by MTS. Also, many parents who chose homeschooling and remote learning are seriously regretting their decision. My prediction: unless the situation gets even worse, they will have as 'tough it out' until December, then make it an extended Christmas Break.

Most schools in Europe have stayed open, even when countries have locked down, with very little evidence of spread.

And that's without all the mail in ballots that got set aside.

It’s not a surprise at all - look at who he’s running against. The Dems ignore large swathes of America. The rust belt, the farmers, & the blue collar workers.

I guess it’s the best away to ‘make it look like’ something is being done.

Crap. Hope that doesn’t happen. Schools are not the problem.

Which pretty sad, when you stop to think about it. Except for Belgium, which is extending the fall break from one week to two weeks, I have not heard of any countries closing schools as part of their lockdown.

It all comes down to...what are we prepared to sacrifice, in order to keep essential services open?

That looks great. I work in Lord Selkirk school division. Now that we have had an outbreak at the local Mc D, we will probably see schools impacted. Side note: I actually thought singing had not been permitted since day 1, so I find it interesting that it gets mentioned now. We have been singing outdoors only, but now we can no longer do that.

He said ‘no plan for the past seven months.’

No masks? No cohorts? No hand sanitizer stations? No extra cleaning?
