    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    That white people are gathering in groups to protest lockdowns is kind of a good sign as I see it. It shows that they either A) Don't think that covid exists or B) Think that its totally been overdone.

    Which is good for the Asian community. If this was an actual ebola type 50% wipeout and Trump blamed China - I'd be much more worried. As is with the vaccine rollout going pretty well, it might just be "disaster averted". Althoug with Ebola, its negative race connotation is definitely African on that one.

    This was no Thanos finger snap. More like clipping fingernail.

    Yea being asked to take care of sick people is a terrible inconvenience for a career in nursing…
    Wife is a RN that takes care of mentally and physically sick people but she doesn’t work in the hospital. Nursing isn’t all about ICUs, ERs, blood, guts and overweight hospital commandos. After working in Alberta Health for a number of years, she will never return. Province doesn’t give a shit about its nurses and compared to Sask the pay sucks.

    What do people mean when they say the province doesn't care about its nurses?

    Great question. I’m also curious
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

    One difference between Alberta and sask, is that people in sask spend time thinking about Alberta, but people in Alberta barely remember that sask exists.

    So there is that, union is probably breaking down the door. I often think how a proper private sector in addition to the public would have handled this pandemic. Would we have had less restrictions actually leading to higher adherence and Incidentally equal to or lower hospitalizations?
    It's not like there is a scarcity of countries to look at.

    The style of healthcare didn't really have any effect on what the spread would be like or what restrictions would be.

    Australia and New Zealand have mixed systems. Low to virtually non-existent death rate, low hospitalizations, but very heavy handed restrictions. With poor vaccination rollouts, the restrictions are needed to stay at/near Covid-zero.

    U.S. was all over the place. State by state, even city by city when it came to restrictions and compliance and outcomes. High cases, high hospitalizations. High death rate. Their reduction in all of those (state dependent), and restrictions, was on the back of their vaccination program.

    Europe has a mix of private and public players as well, just as varied in results. UK is virtually public (closest to us than any of the others) but had high hospitalizations and death rate (second highest in G7). Also as a result of vaccination program things relaxed but was still stop and go when it came to restrictions for a while including the pretty big spike in Dec-Jan. In the EU, Italy was a disaaster to start, highest G7 death rate, famously dire hospital situation, has a mix of public and private. France and Germany had big spikes in the face of restrictions and mixed systems. The EUs vaccination program is basically on par with ours. We have more people dosed, they have more people fully vaccinated

    So a mix of flavors, mix of results. Want to prevent hospitalizations whether that hospital is public or private? Prevent people from getting sick in the first place: high restrictions.

    Want low restrictions ? Deal with high hospitalizations whether it be the public and private sector and deal with deaths, try and hold the line until vaccines can take over.

    That's why he ended up working at Superstore!


    So my friend's wife's brother in-law in Punjab lost the fight to this latest strain. He is a Doctor... fully AZ immunized and in fact was administering vaccines.

    What is scary is what I've been told:
    1. this doubt mutant strain isn't only more highly infectious, but also far more potent and has a higher rate of mortality
    2. The Vaccine may offer little anti-body resistance and
    3. Because India... Modi is keeping all cable channels, the WHO, etc.. in the dark as he's ultimately responsible after making the call that they defeated Covid. Numbers aren't clear, and very little amount of sampling has been done shared.

    Culturally this is also an issue... and well an issue that my friend acknowledges. Its not just only just because of multi-generational households. When the leader of a 1.3 Bil Nation claims they shrugged off Covid, many expats will also express the same sentiments towards Covid. Throw on top EID, and the fact that much of India is not taking this "lockdown" serious, sigh... lets pray we keep our boarded pinned the fuck down this time.

    Albertans look west rather than east, we are perfectly fine with that. Keeps our property values affordable.

    I'm not sure that's what is keeping you property levels down.
