9.3%, isn’t it? 1566 pos/16793 tests=0.093. Unless positivity rate is something else.

Your numbers are province wide, he stated Calgary specific.

Nzwasp:

MOAR RESTRICTIONS

also Nzwasp:

Sends kids to swimming lessons.

Remember everyone, restrictions are for everyone else. But I am special so they shouldn’t have to apply to me.

Is this the swim teacher? If so, I too need a private lesson.

I mean, if the previous measures are indeed kicking in as expected and it reduces the time the increased restrictions are needed, mission accomplished.

I’m hoping so

It might be bitter sweet if numbers drop too quickly. People might get a false sense of security and then do Christmas visits with family against the measures and caught another spike into January. Hopefully not but we'll see.

It’s for your own good comrade. The state knows what’s best.

The numbers are dropping due to the bug doing its own thing entirely and not because of anything special done recently. As if closing gyms and nail salons have fuck all to do with the +60 year olds in ICU.

Haha, the big doing it’s own thing? Details? Is it a teenager now?

Not sure where you have been, but colds and flus have decreased dramatically - yet c19 second wave, even with the 99.5% mask compliance, social distancing, sanitizing - was far worse than first. We already went through this already.

And yet...somehow the concepts didn't seem to catch.

6.72% positive rate in Calgary today.

Active cases dropped in the province for a second day in a row.

It’s one day, but it would be fucking hilarious if the UCP restrictions 2 weeks ago actually worked. I want to watch social media explode haha.

So can I swim now? Or no?

I guess it's more socially acceptable than paper-bagging it. Thanks Covid!

colossally ignorant statement.

How is it ignorant, exactly? If everyone just did what they were told like they do over there, we wouldn't need lockdown today. That's simply a fact.

I'm clearly not supporting a regime government, if you somehow interpreted such...

...

- This thing is not being spread by a small number of high risk activities. It is being spread by a large number (ie critical mass) of low-risk activities.

Can we touch on this?
Let me start by saying the thing white people are not allowed to say: I believe it's severely affecting people in multi-generational, crowded homes and people who go to God Buildings.
Now everyone, pick your jaw up off the floor and listen while I also mention that it's severely affecting Hutterites and those people are Casper-White. It's affecting them for the same reasons.
Hopefully that makes something that should have been okay to say in the first place, okay...

So, how does it spread so effectively from there? What are the "low risk activities" that so many are doing that are causing exposure and transmission?

The Hutterites keep to themselves except for trips to Costco and Canadian Tire, where zero of them wear masks and they lie like a fucking sidewalk about symptoms. I think that's going to cause a tiny bit of external spread, but I wouldn't expect much.

The other groups of primarily newer Canadians have lots of folks who work in hospitals, so I can see some spread, there. But, hospitals are set up to contain outbreaks quite effectively. Another very dominant employer is the food service industry. I would have thought it would spread like wildfire from there; however, that mysteriously appears to not be the case.

So, I feel lost. Where are we all getting it from? If we can identify some groups that should be super spreaders and have trouble tracing the spread outside of that group, I struggle.

I also really struggle with other common virus rates being eradicated during this while CoVid essentially disappears (in August) and then surges back. And you can quip that "it doesn't follow the rules" or that it's "unfair to compare it to influenza" but I've seen people have repeated direct exposures without becoming infected while others catch it seemingly like they were in that movie The Happening with virtually zero explanation.


*Please understand that I know it's coming from a variety of fronts, not just the two I mentioned. I'm just using examples where it seems difficult to trace the spread.

Communism killed more people than COVID ever will. Suggesting it as the solution is pretty damn ignorant.

If they do it'll actually be a really good sign. Slow dip for a week or two then in theory a big dip because the closures, then in Jan go back to the Nov 24th restrictions for a while and bring our numbers down further. Then we can coast until vaccines make a difference.

Oh, ok.
I was hoping there was a partial explanation, or at least a theory.
I guess it's nice to know I'm not crazy or stupid for having trouble connecting the dots.
