Yes, at a boat launch and docking facility.

So leaving the boat launch closed would accomplish absolutely nothing. Oh, the beach is crowded, let's close the boat launch down the street so all the would be boaters have to use this beach instead of going out in their boats.

It seems to me like the whole video was shot from an angle that intentionally makes it look like people are closer than they actually are, and I have to ask why they would do that.

Pick the right angle and use a telephoto lens. Compresses things beautifully.

quit making shyte up! This is exactly what I stated:
there was no, as you say, waldo counter attempt, there was no waldo blunder, there was no waldo pout. What I most certainly did... and have subsequently done repeatedly, is to highlight and emphasize you haven't a clue as to how that claimed 30% interaction figure was arrived at. And you still don't!

I don't need to see their work.  I'm not qualified to analyze their conclusions (and neither are you.)

I trust our scientists.  I thought you were one of the ones who said "trust our experts".  But it seems like you only trust China's experts.  Now that Canadian health experts have moved past the extreme caution of the early days, you're having a sad.  I can only imagine why. 

most pointedly, you blindly accepted that 30% figure while claiming there was significant latitude to extend upon it...

The claim that there was latitude to increase interaction comes from BC's very excellent health experts, not from kimmy. I am merely relaying their message.  I'm sorry that makes you sad.


to the implied point that you'd be back on your favourite bar stool in no time.

And indeed I was!  Thursday and Friday I was able to return to some of my favorite places and even take the missus out for dinner! It was a delight.

I also had a hair appointment Thursday and am feeling fabulous!

As for the mightly Squirrel, the waldo is having second thoughts that you'd even be able to master it!  ;D

In a country where even a snowboard instructor can be Prime Minister, I'm proud of my work history!

Open the boat launch and docks, close the pool and restaurant/bar.

This is such a genius idea! It's like you're from the future or something!

So the police, the city and the health officials who are commenting about these particular parks are all in on a grand conspiracy to make it LOOK like people are gathered too close.

You've turned into conspiratards because it doesn't match your preferred narrative!   ::)

There may well have been instances of people breaking the guidelines. The mayor says that enforcement will be out to keep an eye on things. Educate people, hand out some tickets, fair enough.

I wanted to point out that they keep using these same long-angle telephoto shots that create a misleading impression.  If there are real issues, the media shouldn't need to use misleading photography in their reporting.  I think they've decided that pandemic panic generates more clicks than "most people are following the rules."

Yes... but that wasn't the case for Trinity Bellwoods Toronto.  My friend drove by (taking his cat in) and said it was just packed.

From the lines I have been in, I would have to say people have been good about keeping their distance. You get the odd one who either doesn't care or brain dead but for the most part they have been good.

Long lenses really mess with depth perception, things that are miles apart can look quite close to each other.

Apparently, by calling out a photographic trick by a lazy reporter, you want people to die.  And people call you a conspiritard!

Where did I say anything about lines?  I am talking about specific instances in specific parks and the concerns of the City, the police and of medical experts who are commenting on what they've seen.

Do you two have different information that this never happened?  Do you think all these organizations are in on a conspiracy to make it look as if this is happening when it isn't? 

Help me to understand your view on this.

It's on the same page, just a few posts above.

The failure was yours!  You sought to counter the BC ministry of health's data regarding contacts by posting a graph depicting mobility, and when your blunder was pointed out to you, you went on a pout about having not been provided with BC Health's methodology.  That you're now attempting to spin your oops into a triumph is the most ridiculous, most waldoish thing possible. Keep patting yourself on the back for your imaginary triumphs, loldo! "Self high five!"

quit making shyte up! This is exactly what I stated:
the waldo trusts the data and analysis is there; however, my crack research team hasn't found it... sure, sure, the Google COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports are readily available, but just how has the B.C. Health Authority used them to arrive at that current 30% level of interaction figure?

there was no, as you say, waldo counter attempt, there was no waldo blunder, there was no waldo pout. What I most certainly did... and have subsequently done repeatedly, is to highlight and emphasize you haven't a clue as to how that claimed 30% interaction figure was arrived at. And you still don't!

I don't need to see their work.  I'm not qualified to analyze their conclusions (and neither are you.)

I trust our scientists.  I thought you were one of the ones who said "trust our experts".  But it seems like you only trust China's experts.  Now that Canadian health experts have moved past the extreme caution of the early days, you're having a sad.  I can only imagine why.

mine was the most innocuous comment - a simple statement that asked (as quoted above) just how has the B.C. Health Authority used the Google COVID-19 Mobility Reports to arrive at the stated 30% level of interaction figure? And that simple question caused yet another mega member kimmy wigOut including a failed attempt to claim I was trying to counter the figure... that I supposedly blundered in doing so... and that I went into a "pout" over your pompous claims! None of which is accurate. Per your norm, you turned tail and NOW... NOW... dredge up post exchanges that aren't even topical now! ;D You really should know when to go silent!

and per your norm you eventually resorted to making shyte up. Clearly you feel most comfortable as a shroom; again, you blindly accepted a figure that your claimed experts never provided information/data in how it was determined.

and now another member kimmy tell: your statement about the waldo only trusting China's experts shows you're clearly flailing and flummoxed!
