Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 We're from neither of those companies though. Still, I heard we're not officially open, and not everyone has felt like working there yet. I just need it because my financial situation sucks right now. Quote Link to comment

Kodiack Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 We did it. We have no more active cases of Covid-19 in New Zealand. 17 days in a row since we had any new cases, and the final person has now recovered. We're fully out of lockdown at midnight. alienboyva, purple_beard, Spring and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment

alienboyva Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The U.S. has now hit 2 million cases... With all these states reporting massive spikes recently and especially, after all the massive protests the past 2 weeks, I'm wondering if there will be another shutdown...? I know the ecomoney can't take another complete shutdown. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment

Not officially but honestly our testing and contact tracing are not really up to snuff, so I am sure the numbers are somewhat higher than what is being reported. I am very conflicted about the protests. I think protesting injustice is important but if enough people are not social distancing or wearing protective equipment it’s practically guaranteed that this situation will greatly contribute to wave 2...

Spring Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 not to mention if the country actually cared about its people, we could have been closer to what new zealand has and maybe even be close to done with it by now, but they'd rather us die than provide enough testing Quote Link to comment
DranSeasona Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Oh don’t get me wrong, the US approach to Covid has been a giant shitshow from the start obviously, I mean the numbers speak for themselves. It’s just bad timing is what I mean. Literally any other kind of situation and I wouldn’t be saying that at all. And yes, racist twats will always try to spin things to make those protesting injustice look bad. Just look at that idiot who posted that “American traitor” list... I mean seriously?

EH_STEVE Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 We've gone almost 2 weeks of no new cases and currently have no active cases in my province, so starting next Friday they're making an "Atlantic Province Bubble" (Nova Scotia, new Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland) where you can travel freely within without isolating afterwards.

Doc Brown Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) The US is fucked up to say the least. Been seeing so many non masked people lately that it's scary. They're so arrogant, narcissistic and what not, that it's frightening. If they only wore the damn masks and socially distanced, things could open up more. From what I've seen protest wise, most people seem to be wearing masks, unlike the whiny idiots who wanted things to open up again, who mainly didn't.

We‘ve been opening up in Ontario slowly too, not that we earned it on our end... anyway, good job east coast! @PichiI am guessing you don’t have access to a sewing machine, eh? Quote Link to comment

That's how you see it. I do but I feel we are taking the precautions. I feel we are not going that fast nor do I think we are opening back slowly either. Quote Link to comment

I feel we are not going that fast nor do I think we are opening back slowly either. Of course it’s how I see it. Anybody can really only say how they see things, right? My understanding was we would start reopening once we started hitting our (arbitrary) target of, what was it, 200 per day? Yeah we’re barely scraping that now but we started reopening 3 weeks ago. It’s silly. Try easing restrictions when we get much closer to zero, maybe. As for “taking the precautions“, I don’t know where you are in the province but where I am only half the people I see on the rare occasions I go to get supplies seem to be taking it seriously at all. Even in my own family they aren’t totally dedicated to the effort (some not at all). Of the people that do care, not all of them understand even everything they should be doing. So call it a geographic difference maybe but I am definitely calling it as I see it. Quote Link to comment

Well now if we’re so lucky we’ll get to experience another actual flu pandemic. And to your point, bad timing and all. Reminds me of those funny memes about Earth taking pandemics as medicine to specifically combat humanity... and then the Sun suggesting it just lob another asteroid at Earth.
