I have a nagging cough and probably shouldn’t go run a 10 meter dash tomorrow, but generally I feel fine. I got lucky with a very easy case I reckon. Added plus: immune for Thanksgiving. I’m the only one in my house going, but I don’t have any reason to hide for the next two months or so. Honestly if I wasn't scared shit to get deathly ill, I have wanted to just get it already and get it over with. Yeah not being my healthiest, especially since quarantine has killed even my minimal exercise, I had a lot of concerns. You start with “well 1% die from this”, then go to “well men die a little more often”, to “bigger guys die even more often” and instead of the 95% survival rate I was left with “so now I’m five times more likely to fucking die?!?” Not a fun mental challenge.

Exactly. I’m glad you’re feeling better man. Thank God.

The Yorkshire Ripper died of COVID. Maybe the disease is trying to reform and do the right thing now?

They've shut down kids sports/dance/etc here and limited the hours at restaurants for the next 2 weeks, which is odd to me as it's been reported that the largest age group infected and spreading that infection is 20-40 year olds and that only 1% of all infections are due to restaurants/bars/activities and are actually being transmitted through family gatherings or group gatherings such as parties, weddings, church, funerals, etc...
What we are seeing here is 20-40 years olds getting COVID fatigued and frankly no longer caring and so carrying on with life as normal because 'no one's going to tell me how to live my life when no one I know is dying from it'. Or they've started to drink the conspiracy Kool-Aid. Meanwhile, other demographics such as our seniors are paying the price. I would never forgive myself if my mom or anyone I knew got sick and died, because I was too selfish to listen to scientists who know a fuck of a lot more than I do. Seriously, wearing a mask and getting alligator skin from excessive hand washing is a small price to pay.

Got to love the people who for ages claim we do not need laws to make people do the right thing refuse to even wear a mask to save people's lives. In a sane world this would be the end of most conservative politics, but nope, they then claim it will be better off if the old people all just died so people can "live."

Killing off among the most reliable conservative voters. Delicious irony.

The true irony is he would have won the election it appears if they lived as his loss margins are smaller than the COVID deaths.

US policy for the next two months will be die for the economy as the Trump admin plans to take no action whatsoever against COVID. Trump himself has not attended a COVID briefing now for 5 months. COVID reaching worst case numbers now in the US with hospitals overflowing in the midwest.

Got my first family member with a positive test. We're on the board BAY BAY! Father!? Sister, who is in a nursing home. So there's no fear of any of us getting it since the place is now on full lockdown. I dunno how it'll affect her, but hopefully she's never crossed paths with our widow maker pduh and she'll recover.

Seriously, wearing a mask and getting alligator skin from excessive hand washing is a small price to pay. It's not about drinking the cool aid, it's about fatigue and questioning the measures. I fit within that age range, and I'm tired of this and think many of the ways the measures are applied as a one size fits all to every part of my province is stupid and borderline insulting to my intelligence. In all of 2020, my health authority region has had 13 covid-19 cases, and our infection rate per 100,000 people is the lowest rate shown on the British Columbia CDC regional health map. Why the f am I needing to have my life on lockdown or do all this stuff when the situation is basically non existent where I am?

Yeah!!! Free the people and open the borders!!! Yeah, nothing like absolutism arguments! Do the measures to the places it is happening. Lockdown the people in the places it's happening, keep the stupid americans at bay. But let me walk amongst my non infected neighbours where life is normal in a normal way. I live in the Cariboo - Chilcotin, aka - the middle of nowhere, it isn't here.

Moderna's vaccine is 95% effective according to preliminary data. Robust study here of 30,000 people. This is mRNA, the same technology as Pfizer, but with a different liquid coat which essentially means it can be held in storage at much higher (better) temperatures. This is another vaccine more suited to fixing first-world countries than worldwide eradication, but tremendous news nonetheless. The wait is now on the AstraZeneca vaccine, likely the top choice for worldwide distribution. Rumblings around early-December for that news. investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/news-release-details/modernas-covid-19-vaccine-candidate-meets-its-primary-efficacy

One of these are located in Sunderland, which is pretty neat I guess but hopefully we can return to somewhat normality sooner than later. Had an argument with a family member today, who still after all this time thinks that Covid is a hoax. Blimey, never got heated debate before but I had to because I just couldn't take their appalling misinformation on the matter any more.

I will get vaccinated when I have to for travel, but I certainly don't want to be the first, but then if it is going to create a zombie apocalypse, it's better to get turned while there is an abundance of fresh Gray matter... Not that I encounter a lot of it.

For all of you Americans, last call on getting Covid symptoms and being out of quarantine in time for turkey. #ThanksgivingImmunity How are you feeling mike? All clear. Not even much of a cold anymore. The not taking the medication for a few weeks has put me backwards on my autoimmune stuff, but COVID went fine. My mom was diagnosed yesterday and she just had a heart attack last year so that ones more concerning now.

OPEN THE BORDER YOU COWARDS!!! Reports are harrowing coming from from the upper mid-west. States that followed the White House on the pandemic are seeing 60%, 70% or higher test rates and people are on their death beds wondering why they cannot get the treatment to cure COVID that Trump received. Many others did not even believe the virus was real until they got admitted to the hospital. Explosive growth in the number of COVID deaths is expected in the next few weeks and Thanksgiving and Christmas setting off two more large spreading events, following by a large number of deaths. Already seeing hospitals at capacity and morgues overflowing. Many of the states in the worst areas still have no mask mandates or social distancing mandates.

Lockdown 2: Electric Boogaloo up here in Canada.
We're fucked. Everyone gave up and went back to business as usual. Celebrated Thanksgiving and Halloween without a second thought. We'll be at 10k cases a day and climbing in no time.
Trudeau is back to staying home and giving speeches. Travel restrictions and mandatory masks are official in BC. There's talk of closing schools early for winter break and keeping kids home for 4-6 weeks. Whatever they do they better do it quick because this is very close to getting out of control and the general public is too fucking stupid to skip Christmas.
