    Canada's Dr.Tam (top doc) says future school closures and gathering limits not likely should next variant escape vaccine because we have treatments and rapid tests now. Says to keeps masks at hand for first line of defense.

    curious, have each province lifted most or all capacity limits?
    march 15 in manitoba the vaccine passport and masking, and even isolating when covid positive are done. our medical experts are especially not happy about the last two. 
    Not isolating when you have a contagious disease that can be deadly to some is ridiculous, and also just plain rude. I hope people continue to do the right thing and stay home when they’re sick. 
    What about the families that are barely making ends meet and can't stay at home for a week without pay? 

    there of course is that end to it, but I'd hope that employers like that will realize it's economically more beneficial to let one person stay home with pay for a week or so, rather than have 25 out and a few in hospital.

    No more masks in school starting this Monday in NJ.  So pumped.
    Awesome man. Our kids are the week after. They have March break this week so hopefully they have worn masks for the last time there. 
    Awesome!

    In a perfect world sure but we all know how that will play out with companies. With no more gov kickbacks a lot of companies are not going to give low income workers a dime for staying home.

    If you're hoping that I have an answer for economic disparities that predate the pandemic by centuries then you're sadly mistaken. 

    We need to be honest with ourselves that we're not lifting these different restrictions because the pandemic is over, we're lifting them because people are tired of them. We are not yet at the endemic stage, but even when we are it doesn't mean that there will be no or few deaths, it just means that the pattern of spread and the impact of infections will be more predictable and more manageable.

    It didn't make sense to go into work while sick with a highly infectious disease before the pandemic, it won't make sense after the pandemic, and it definitely doesn't make sense during the pandemic.

    My point is what works for you might not work for others. If you have a job that allowed you to work from home the last two years and when you go back you have payed sick days you are going to look at things differently then a single parent working 3 jobs and barely getting by and can't afford to take the time off. I am not asking you to have an answer for economic disparities but rather sympathize for those that need to work even while sick. I would not call them rude for wanting to provide for their family. 


    Also I disagree with the fact that governments are lifting restrictions mainly because people are tired of them. That would give people the sense that the truckers actually made an impact on the decision making going on the last couple of months. The science has dictated these restrictions from the start and will continue to hopefully do so.

    Thats what they antivaxxers have been saying from the start is it not? All info I have seen have been they can not change your DNA. Hope that stays true.

    I dont know where to put this, but since its supposed to be sbout this topic I guess here is as good as anywhere.

    I will say though,  I hope these trucks and trailers are fully operational without defects that put them out of service because Maryland State Police are very thorough in their inspections. And would wager they will do a fair number of them.

    Now from a driver stand point, these motherfuckers will take already limited parking from folks engaged in transport of freight in need of rest from actually working.

    I just watched this. It seems to me this study has uncovered more questions than answers (as many studies do). and yes, it's all in vitro study. I don't know how much of a difference that makes. But it's also worth mentioning that while it is theorized that the vaccine reverse transcribes (turns RNA into DNA), that also has been shown to happen with the virus itself.

    I don't think there's any big cause for concern at this point.

    I know this is wikipedia, but here it explains in vitro vs in vivo studies, and in vitro results doesn't always replicate to a living organism.

    A 19 min video and it took you 8 minutes to respond from me posting.  Obviously you didn't watch the vid, so doctor's/ med group studies are no longer legit?
    This guy is pretty good and has been promoting vaccination all along.

    Covid deaths have been decreasing for a year,  the last few months have dropped like a rock.  It's time to make this endemic.

    The focus in the news medias shifted a while ago on how many new cases rather than deaths.  Now?  I don't hear a peep on the news about numbers anymore.

    This.  

    I put You Tube videos just slightly above the crack pot at the end of the bar.  Only because the guy on you tube can afford a phone with a camera.
