COVID-19 Discussion

Exactly, it doesn't look at borders. Even the most densely populated bit of BC is fairly isolated from surrounding areas. It's not a reasonable comp at all.
What are you talking about. There are 3 million or so people living in a densely populated 100 or so square miles. That’s more densely populated than most states. Mississippi has a similar population in an area probably 50 times the size.
Is Hong Kong sparsely populated because it’s surrounded by water?
 
Man, 47,000 cases today.

And we are in the summer when it gets killed off, and just about to open universities and public schools. What is the over/under for daily cases when that happens? The Kinz line opens at 100,000 but it is expected that goes north quick.

But for gawds sake, keep the bars open. We need em now more than ever.
 
It's the other nonsense going on that's irritating me. I didn't go out much before all this started. Its things like banks locking doors & having customers use the drive through, resulting in idiots blocking the street while waiting. Safeway putting signs on the floor expecting people to see them. Smart stores puts signs closer to eye level so people will notice them and know the changes in procedure. The idiotic screening for telephone doctor appointments. I have chronic bronchitis & allergy issues, you are not telling me I have covid because of things I've suffered since child hood. I do t need an alchohol intervention session before every appointment either. I only drink after work, and only 1-3. I'm 300lbs it takes 4 in an hour for me to feel it kick in. A couple cans of beer or glasses of sangria is not going to kill my liver.

If the masks were important they should have been implemented day 1, not a month and a half in. It's just been a major bungle with contradictory information every other day.

I think he's saying the fact that this specific area of BC is surrounded by areas of sparse population, it doesn't have the same risk of having people from outside that area come in and ramp up the infection rate. Whereas densely populated areas here are surrounded by other densely populated areas.

Or maybe I misunderstood his meaning.

I guess I worded it wrong in my original point and it went off the rails a tad.

Ok that makes more sense but still just goes to the point of listening to the real experts not some guy on the internet telling you to drink bleach or whatever.
One of first orders was avoid travelling outside of your immediate area. So it shouldn’t matter what is next to you.

Fair point, I didn't articulate myself well on the surrounding area thing. It's one thing to have a pocket of dense population... it's another that have a similar pocket and have that pocket be near other densely populated areas. The chance of spread through migration would be greater because of the adjacent population. So in a sense if Hong Kong was smack in the middle of New York State then yeah the likelihood of spread would be greater because of the amount of people moving in and out.
 
On another note. They released a genetic breakdown of the virus here a week or two back. Turns out it came here from Europe. That floored me. Vancouver has a ridiculous number of flights to China or at least it did. Nowhere near as many to Europe. Science is a crazy thing.

I get what you mean now.

I mean the Vancouver area is like 3 million people and had 20 cases in one day is what I meant but yeah its not really close to any other city especially since the borders are closed. If we stay diligent and keep our borders locked down I think we will be alright.
 
Anyone see the FUCKING NHL draft lottery shit show?

Thats what opening up early without planning looks like.

Season ended early.

They do a lottery including the "play in qualifier" teams. (They expanded the playoff to 24 teams instead of 16)

One of them just won the lottery and the #1 pick is essentially an Andrew Luck prospect.

A team could tank a play in series and win the #1 pick. You could be the 9th best team in the league and lose 3 games and get a generational prospect LMFAO.

The #1 pick is literally "TEAM TBD if we play some more games"

It shouldn't. But...

I’m gonna stop reading this and come here and post the add that I see. The article was about a woman who kicked a 5 year old to death, yet the add placement algorithms thought that a foot injury add would be good.... FML

Always good to see both sides of an issue.
