Super Duper Negatron

So, my kid woke up with a sore throat and runny nose on Monday, and given then new guidelines that means our entire family has to self isolate until his test results come back. The timeline I was given is 2-4 days. I am sorry but that is insane. Either a) both my kids miss a week of school and our work lives are disrupted because one of them has a cold, or b) 4 days from now we have to trace our steps to notify recent contacts they might have been exposed to covid over a week ago. Neither of these is acceptable. Until test results are available same day, you are going to have parents and caregivers ignoring the rules because it is just not sustainable. Upside is I get to watch my largely healthy kids fight over the Playstation while I try to listen to a Teams call.

Jeebus help us. This will be a **** show.

He means zero changes since the supposedly new measures were introduced this past week.

In shocking news that nobody could have predicted, Murkowski has decided to vote to confirm Barrett.

I am no defender of Graham but could it be that *gasp* Obamagate is just utter bullshit? Nah....

So the fact that Fox News killed the story due to questions about authenticity...does what for your point, exactly?

The new restrictions seem pointless. Other than closing bars, the rest are basically things that were already being followed (50% capacity) or won't be (good luck enforcing number on private gatherings...people will just ignore that). Like, oh good, the masked parents at my kids hockey game have to sit even further apart... meanwhile the kids all pile on each other in the corner of the ice.

Trump: All these mail in ballots will result in mass voter fraud! Also Trump: Encourages voter fraud. Trump again: See? I was right!

This is exactly what I am seeing as well.

If someone in your household has been tested, to me everyone in that household should self isolate until the results come back, asymptomatic or not. There have already been multiple instances in my kid's school alone where a child is at home due to a recent test, but their sibling is still going to school. The province would tell you that is perfectly acceptable, but to me it makes absolutely no sense.

So asymptomatic, socially distanced, masked students still spread this thing like wildfire. Huzzah!

Streveler is awesome.

Running should never get you shot in the back 7 times from close range. The "both sides" argument doesn't fly here.

That 1 Northern Health one looks ominous. Also, Brandon!!! Stay home!!!

Oh well. I guess that just means another 10 months of watching the TiCats get absolutely rolled while this soundtrack plays in my head:

It would be the most 2020 thing ever if the reanimated corpse of Marty York is the one to break the story of a shortened CFL season.

Anyone else wish Kamala and Joe could swap places?

Breaking news: successful business people are sometimes (even often) "kind of dicks".

Prediction: the school opening will be a **** show of epic proportions.

Man, Brandon is going to pass Winnipeg for total cases at some point!

Half from Southern Health, half from Brandon meat plant, 1 in Winnipeg.

What a clown. Even if you agree with every one of his policies how do you feel comfortable voting for such a horses ass?

A shortened season is a win-win for a pessimist like me. There is no downside! Bombers win the Grey Cup? Back to back champs baby! Any other team wins the Grey Cup? Giant asterix for "winning" the covid cup. Who cares?
