the moronic comment... and OWN GOAL was yours! You puffed-up to state asymptomatic carriers were already factored... "baked into the existing data". Which, of course, can't be the case since your favoured bar haunts aren't open! So, quite obviously, you can't presume upon bar infection transfer within current data - ya think!  ;D

oh how delicious! Good on ya for recognizing the value/need for social distancing... in helping to contribute to, wait for it, wait for it... reduced infection rates!

Well no ****. There's plenty of opportunity to expand things while continuing current social distancing practices.  People know how to social distance while at the liquor store... why do people assume they won't be able to do so while buying clothes?

quit your quibbling! If you're going to take such quibbling exception, the waldo suggests you provide explicit references to delineate when you're talking of B.C. (as is most of your emphasis) and when you're speaking more broadly - you're welcome!

as for your continued emphasis on nothing being done until a vaccine is ready, who said so? - name the names, other than yourself. You keep referring to a worst-case "2022 or later" timing; again, who said so? - name the names, other than yourself. Such an alarmist you are!

by the by, those "typical" range references speak to a year-to-18 months away - that's April 2021-to-October 2021. There's a world-wide focus on developing a vaccine now... the beginnings of an assortment of human trials have commenced. Of course, it will not be easy... and much remains unknown about the virus, notwithstanding what efficacy and effectiveness will be realized. FWIW: Status Report on an assortment of in-development vaccines

The main point, which you missed because you were hung up on what the size limit was, is that we can't ban gatherings of people indefinitely.  Our society can't function for long if even a full bus or classroom is too big of a risk.  A vaccine would be great, but it can't be the lynch-pin upon which everything turns.

I asked you in my original reply (as quoted in its entirety above) to name who is maintaining "nothing can be done/changed" until a vaccine is developed. Instead of actually answering that, in your typical disingenuous way, you ignored the request and doubled-down further suggesting/implying I've said as much! Quit making shyte up!

I gave you a list of 6 conditionals (put forward by the WHO) required before restrictions/shutdowns can be eliminated. You ignored the list completely. Of course, one of those conditionals is to have adequate testing in place to respond to "outbreak flair-ups" that may result from removing restrictions... testing and tracing. For all these Republican Governors and Conservative Premiers so hot-to-trot in "opening up", what's the state of adequate/required supporting testing & tracing?

again, if those conditionals (which you continue to ignore) are in place...

by the by, you skirt the edges... you never get into particulars/details like... what capacity will your favoured bar be allowed to open at... and, for example, in a sit-down table setting in your favoured bar, what distance must be maintained while sitting at said tables? What special sanitizing will be required? How will enforcement be handled? And on and on and on!

No stores were mandated closed in BC, very little was. Businesses closed either because they couldn’t find a way to meet physical distancing requirements, because there wasn’t enough traffic, or they couldn’t protect their employees. Things like Costco’s, Canadian Tire’s, Walmart’s, London Drugs, auto parts, golf courses, home improvement and garden supply stores all found ways to safely stay open. Henry and Dix were just very good at convincing the public to buy in and there is still very little public pressure to quickly open the economy up.

A reminder that photographs of "crowds" may not be as they seem:



This article also shows this image as an example of how photographers can create a misleading impression:



Meanwhile, another CBC article uses that exact photo:

The world is opening back up again whether you and the rest of you anti-herders like it or not.  Anti-herd is the new anti-vaxx.

No, spoken like somebody paying attention to science, and not panic and hysteria.  No go back to hiding under your bed.  Your government overlords insist! 😂

Wow....   that has to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read...  denying there is a pandemic is monumentally stupid.

Gee...   I wonder why the USofA is doing so terrible at the whole pandemic spread thing...   ??? 

Rubber bullets and teargas would be the smart way to deal with rabid right wingers who put the endanger the public.

Why’s that?  Because I recognize the reality of the situation?

Only a complete and utter retard would deny what every medical expert in a pretty much every country is saying.

Nobody is denying a pandemic.  But you’re sure denying scientific facts, as well as other facts.  Keep denying the increase in poverty, depression, anxiety, suicide, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and domestic violence.  It’s probably easier to enforce your hysteria based opinions that way.  Btw, did you get your censorship ideas from the Chinese regime?  They’d be very proud.
