As for your strawman argument about control, you can have that with someone else that doesn't agree with it being a complete illusion.

I take issue that there is a lot of circular reasoning based on perceptual truths.

Is what you're saying possible, yes, but it may also be completely wrong and you can't automatically invalidate a person's introspective abilities based on a difference of opinion. Based on how you responded I think you understand this.

Dude. No one cares. Stop derailing this thread.

What a marvelous job she did in Toronto and now we're seeing it in BC. We are seeing the curve flatten here in western Canada, with another anemic 25 cases today, the lowest number of cases in weeks. This incredible woman needs recognition for what a great job she's doing. We need to send her to Quebec to help get things under control there. Hats off to this incredible lady

What are your leaders saying that Ford isn't? Or is it simply the people that live in BC taking this more seriously than here? Or is it the asian population? People already wearing masks to begin with and not worrying about some sort of "stigma" that some idiots here still are. And before some SJW comes at me, just look at the demographics of the two provinces. Thanks.

if you look at cases per every 100,000 people then bc is almost the same as ontario.

Last weekend while driving to get some food/supplies, I still saw people out with their kids/dogs in playgrounds and crowded parks here in greater Vancouver. I suspect it'll only get worse with the long weekend coming up, especially if the sun is still out.

Some people just don't care.

I don't live there, but I am quite impressed with BC, and Vancouver is literally a sardine can in terms of land mass compared to the GTA.

BC was supposed to have their March Break right after ours ended. They didn't end up having one and were extremely fortunate to tell its residents not to travel with the current (at the time) **** going on. By the time Ontario went a complete 180 on 'go out and travel for March break', it was too late.

The other one is the health care workers - mainly in long term community homes in BC are only permitted to work at one location after the outbreak in Lynn Valley. In Ontario for whatever reason, health care workers are still working in multiple sites and now have 58 outbreaks in these facilities across Ontario. Doesn't help either that one particular facility held a pub night in a middle of a **** pandemic.

Assuming the numbers are correct.

The Province of BC would be among one of the best of handling this in the world recently

Under 5 new cases per million yesterday, better than a Country like Czechia (22 new cases per 1mil) which was posted earlier about how well they are flattening the curve since they implemented mandatory mask wearing and strict guidelines since March 18th. Since that time BC has over their March 18th daily cases only 3 times, Czechia is over every time except twice they were under.

Also better than a country like Singapore which has average 14.7 new cases per day per million this last week, compared to BC at at 8.5 (used last 7 daily reports)

Are you eastern euro? Never heard anyone outside of there call the Czech Republic "Czechia". I had to do a double take.

It's a new thing in the last year or so. When I was there in 2018 it was still the Czech Republic officially, but some leaders or groups thought it didn't sound European enough or something and wanted it reduced to a single word name. Czechia is what they came up with, and the word still hasn't really reached the whole world, even though this "colloquial name change" was official back in 2016.

It's hard to find masks anywhere to purchase. And the government is only now (slowly) changing its tune on masks. Up until a week ago, the message was "don't wear masks under any circumstances as they are 100% useless".

In the last 3 days I have arranged orders for 66 thousand surgical masks and 20 thousand KN95s. I'll probably arrange a RGM mask day with a couple of pickup spots around town.

$10 for 10
$45 for 50

No bulk buying. 50 will be the limit per customer.

Will also offer 100 for $85 but you will donate 50 to a nearby nursing home, while keeping 50 for yourself

I'll take the last option. Can it be a retirement home instead? Some are just quarantining all residents to their room/suite as a precaution, bu there has to be reasons they leave temporarily. I'm good with just long-term care though if that's what you want.

And if you didn't limit it, I would take the lot.
