How long do you think COVID-19 restrictions will last?

Until there's a vaccine or a treatment that works quickly and effectively. Saw some cholesterol drug has been shown to reduce covid to a common cold in 5 days. That's a game changer if true.

^^^^ Quite a creative sales tactic for Statins.
Several years ago, a study was publicized that showed a diabetes drug - Metformin, reduced the risk of breast cancer in mice.
Women in my diabetes support group were excited that a drug they were already taking would have such a wonderful benefit.
After 2 hours of research, I found one article that gave me the information I was looking for - who funded the study.
At the bottom of the article in very tiny print, "This study was funded by Merck - the drug's manufacturer."

Follow the money & find the answer.....
 
Well, based on the State of Washington's Labor and Industry Core Rules Section 296-800 COVID Updated on 5-26-20 to run from 7-8-20 to 11-5-20. Note when the Emergency rule expires, what do they know? So 11-5-20 is when I think it will end, possibly a day sooner. Why 11-5-20? Why not 10-8-20 or even 11=2=20.? Seems fishy to me, I'm sure there are more of these out there too.

from page 185 of the publication, Emergency rule effective July 8, 2020 expires November 5, 2020, for more information see https://lni.wa.gov/rulemaking-activity/ WAC 296-800-14035 2019 Novel coronavirus prohibited business activities and compliance with conditions for operations. (1) Where a business activity is prohibited by an emergency proclamation an employer shall not allow employees to perform work. (2) Employers must comply with all conditions for operation required by emergency proclamation issued under RCW 43.06.220, including Safe Start phased reopening requirements for all business and any industry specific requirements. (3) An "emergency proclamation" means a proclamation that is in effect, including proclamation amendments and conditions, and issued under RCW 43.06.220 and is in effect at the time the emergency rule was adopted.
 
I overheard some nurses talking at work today saying that someone sent in 2 swabs to be tested for COVID that had nothing on them...they never got used & were supposedly a positive case. That seems fishy to me.

But I find it difficult to understand how the number of COVID cases & deaths has anything to do with the 1st week in November. If this virus is real it's not gonna just go away that day. Perhaps the media coverage might.

Yes, that is true,there are several articles. Additionally, the President of Tanzania, sent in samples from a Paw Paw fruit and a goat for testing,both came back positive, it was a bit early on but obviously those tests were faulty, makes one wonder which others are? The virus itself may not go away but I will bet you will seldom hear about it after 11-2020. No virus goes completely away, we have flu virus with ever changing vaccines, we have meningitis vaccines, we have hepatitis vaccines,we have MMR vaccines, etc... none of the diseases are actually all the way gone or we would not need the vaccines.

It isn't going away.... just like the flu, it is probably here to stay...

For those who don't wear masks because you feel it is invading your rights.... I only have one question. Why do you wear a seat belt? Oh, it is the law and saves lives. :unsure:

I plan on staying home the next few weeks.... stocked up the pantry so I don't need to make small trips to the store anytime soon..... Picked up my prescription, so I don't need to be out for that reason.... I can bank online, pay bills online... socialize online....

But I still gotta swim..... at least until Labor Day!!!!!

Seat Belts ,because car manufactures have put in an irritating noise maker which gets louder every few seconds that the belt is not fastened, because cops will ticket me without one, kinda sounds like a Pavlovs dog thing, just keep slowly training us to do that which someone else tells us to do, I know, it's for our own good.
 
I've been missing the news a lot lately.
Fellow Canadians.....Have you any new updates concerning the eastern borders of eastern Canada, whether to open up to the rest of Canada, west.

Of course, updates from anyone, would be appreciated.
Thank you.
 
It's really taking its toll on us since we're huggers. But no use complaining, fate has clicked the reset button. I just go with the flow and choose to be happy than miserable. When it's my time to go, I wanna be ready for my next adventure.

Yes, I've heard that, too. Just find it hard to believe that properly worn masks offer zero protection to the wearer. Obviously handwashing and other care must also be taken.

If only they would change the message, and word it like .... "and you are protecting yourself TOO" , just maybe more people wouldn't fight it, and mask up!

I have had my own thought, that, summer camps, bible camps, etc, would not be opening for summer attendance......I was wrong.
A bible camp which is located in the south/west area, has opened for their July/ August attendance.
Heard a couple days ago, heard that a child, don't know the age, had contracted Covid 19, don't know how serious, or what town he/she is from.
Did this really need to happen......in my opinion......July 1st was still a danger date for openings of this nature.

News had reported, in south/west region, Prairie Mountain, yesterday, 2 males, 30 years old, tested positive, don't know how serious.

That kind of put our province, Manitoba, from having a very good standing, to not so good. Hoping is not going to escalate due to carelessness.
 
Since there's no safe, effective vaccine for any form of coronavirus and researchers have been working on SARS and MERS for years, I'm not holding out hope on that front.

The most effective treatment (hydroxycholroquine/zinc/azythromycin started early) has been vilified because of political reasons and the fact that it isn't going to make Big Pharma big bucks. That's going to prolong things.

I'm guessing at least another year until we reach 60-70% infected. Then it'll likely stay in rotation with all our other bugs in a milder form.

Neighbour on my north side.....got their pool up and running about a week and a half ago.
Seems to be grand central station, so many coming and enjoying the pool.

Does anyone see something wrong and or not safe with this.

Are there a lot of cases or restrictions in your area of Manitoba?

I wouldn't say a lot, we're staying at level.....only 3 new cases within the last few days.
Everyone seems to be hanging onto the preventative safety measures, with a few exceptions.
There is not a high population in Manitoba, and some other provinces, so maybe that would explain the lower number of cases, as opposed to densely populated areas.
