Jason 15,714 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Meanwhile, apparently the website to register for vaccine appointments is basically just broken. Los Angeles County officials are advising essential workers to wear masks at home to avoid further spread of Covid-19 WWW.CNN.COM Things are so bad in Los Angeles County that health officials are now advising all essential workers to wear masks inside their own home to prevent spreading Covid-19 within their household.

chakoo 1,095 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 New modeling was released today for Ontario (Canada) which showed that if we continued on our current rates we would hid 10k new cases a day by mid febuary. So because of this we're going back to a state of emergency with a stay at home order. Ontario implements another state of emergency and stay-at-home order to combat COVID-19 WWW.CP24.COM Ontario is implementing another provincewide state of emergency and cracking down on retail hours and gathering sizes as COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths reach record highs.

AbsolutSurgen 1,072 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 So, Ontario's "state-of-emergency". Changes from today (which have largely been in place since November): 1) Reduction of outdoor activities max participants from 10 to 5 2) Essential stores can now only be opened from 7AM to 8PM 3) Minimal reduction in what construction projects are allowed 4) Guidance for people to wear masks if they are within 2M of people outside 5) Announcement that schools in some areas will remain closed until February 10th So, basically not very much. They're hoping that people will change their behaviour if they "re-brand" the "Provincewide Shutdown" as a "State-of-Emergency". Idiots. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Politicians will continue to lay the responsibility for choices on the public, and continue to ask "why aren't people following the rules?" There needs to be greater enforcement combined with much stricter rules. No one should be leaving their house at this point except for life-essential shopping (of which much can be ordered online, or for pickup) and if you can't work from home. People shopping for hockey sticks or lumber or anything else need to be fined (well, stopped by shutting down the stores). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People shopping for hockey sticks or lumber or anything else need to be fined (well, stopped by shutting down the stores). Agreed. I can say that there is so much pandemic fatigue, that many are "ignoring the rules". The amount of times I have heard "it's OK, we were wearing masks", or "I can't believe he got it, he was so good at wearing a mask" from folks is unbelievable. In Ontario, the age-group of 20-29 is SIGNIFICANTLY overrepresented as a % of the population in the positive tests (30s, 40s and 50s less so, but still slightly more than average). There are also some neighbourhoods that have signficantly higher infection rates (and have had them throughout the pandemic). Stores have been shut here since November -- and there has been very little impact. In reality, shopping is not a high risk activity. You're not in close proximity to anyone else for an extended period of time. I have lots of theories on what activities are promoting spread of the virus, but no data to back them up.

It seems the biggest spreader at this point is just people seeing their friends and family. My own person rules are: Never be in a room with anyone without my mask, except for with my wife at home Never be in a room with anyone with my mask for more than 15 minutes (including shopping) We've done all our grocery shopping since April with online delivery, and have only really needed to go into the pharmacy to get my wife's prescriptions (necessary for her MS). Oh, and she gets bloodwork once per month. But otherwise, I haven't been in a room with anyone but my wife since...August or September? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
