I like working from home and can be very productive doing. In to this cuurentb5 week stretch I am over it. I need the freedom to go the office when I need or want too. I need to be able to have personal interactions with coworkers and customers. 4 hours of video and conference calls today does not match the need of being person to person at times. An interesting conversation was repeated a few times today, is the hand shake dead? Will you ever be comfortable shaking hands again?

Are you suggesting Google is a hoax now? Type the question in and hit enter. That’s pretty hard to do. Just look at the source and pick one that would pass a test of MBB peers...

According to Google 15% and change in Canada, 20% in Sweden. Sweden’s total pop is roughly 10.5 million vs our 37.6.

I thought this graphic was a fitting update to the Sweden experiment. Couldn’t capture the full ranking in one frame but here are Sweden and her closest neighbours. Norway was one of the first to enact social distancing and backed it up with severe penalties for not obeying. They have already started to back off some of those restrictions, Sweden will likely need to implement some as their health system is now overrun with cases. Strike that, you’ll have to click the link, I forget that this forum won’t host images directly. https://www.covid-19canada.com/?#readmore

Not really a new trick at all. I am sure you could reread the first 10 pages and see someone blaming China and calling it a bio-weapon, then again the mods have been pretty good and cleaning up the conspiracy crap so it might not be there any longer. At one point there was even speculation that a Dr formely of the virology lab had something to do with it as she was the focus of an RCMP investigation and of Chinese heritage. I think the "New Trick" will be how many news cycles he can get out of restating a theory that has been disproved already. Anything to keep the focus away from the true problem, his own failures...

Looking like no pro sports in BC in 2020. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/don-t-expect-any-big-graduation-parties-or-concerts-this-summer-b-c-s-top-doctor-says-1.5539184

Let’s not forget Manitoba enacted Social Distancing at the same date as many other places but were way behind in infection rates. It has said we acted a full week early than other jurisdictions based on arrival of the virus in our area. Such inflammatory BS from the left. If it is safe for 30 people to meet once a week is is not so irresponsible to suggest they do it 3 times a week is it? Not once has anyone other the JT suggested that all members be in attendance. JT has only done it to try and make the Cons look bad. Can’t say that only Scheer is politicking. JT has been given a national audience everyday and had been political most days.

I can’t speak to your friends care but what I am saying is that Yes some people are counted as presumptive positive cases without testing.

That is not 100% accurate. Dr Roussain explained they other day that if a close contact of a known positive develops symptoms that is automatically considered a presumed positive. The two they removed from the list were basically that. Once tested it was discovered they did not have it and the cases were removed. The idea behind not testing that person is pretty simple. The positive test is followed by an order to self isolate for 14 days, being a close contact to a known case is also a self isolation for 2 weeks. Why have a presumed positive travel outside their home/community to be told to do sometime they should already be doing and getting the test itself puts others at risk?

Have you checked out this site at all? The kid does a pretty fine job keeping it up to date and providing analysis of the data. https://www.covid-19canada.com/

No news conference but there was an official release. Including removing one suspected case from the list as it was a false positive. Reports indicate that sample collection spots had very low numbers on Friday, I’m sure Saturday was the same. Probably not a lot of tests processed.

I heard from a friend in Norway yesterday. Next week they are starting a phased in return to school. Elementary (under 10 yrs old there) will go back first as the schools are smaller and local. Middle and high schools require busing and travel from town to town do not opening then yet.

Not true. All 9 tests of Betel home patients came back negative. While they are suffering from a respiratory illness it is not Covid19. PHC in Manitoba are doing an incredible job of keeping this tour of their facilities.

I saw that on Twitter this morning. I was going to post. "Are you trying to give Lapo a heart attack? That really looks like you pulled Nichols..." I decided not to feed the twitter trolls, it's a joke. Not trying to disparage Nichols at but in these times we have to look for humour when we can.

Herringbone is the hip trend...

This is for the Old Boys club that ran the board before Wade took over. I could walk 100ft to the boss's office and find a 1990 one in his closet.

I bet if the tape exists you could email or text Hal and he would find it for you.

Must be my blue tinted glasses again, I just thought we were better.

I agree, reading the article and they are questioning BLM's injury recovery? Did he not finish the season looking okay? I don't remember us beating them because he sucked.

Does Fenner have a place on our team at the right price? Surprised by a lot of the names still available, either time has past some by or the new CBA is really screwing with the mid tier guys getting jobs.

So when the hell are the new jerseys going to be available. I need a new one and I know what player I want!!!

Who? Have these guys been mentioned at all before ?

I think I read the same about the Riders getting ready for the WF.

Walters might not be that guy but Wade is. Besides I think they are more focused on the 2020 GC Parade that will start at IGF West and travel all the way up the Trans Canada home to Winnipeg. What is that Simpson's quote "That's it, we're going back to Winnipeg!!"

Did you have one of their fine premium Club beers while you were there? I was told Monday that they are ice cold (no one opens that fridge ever...).
