Common Sense

Ive been wondering if we’ve all been locked in doors for 6-8 weeks and Covid has a 2 week life how was COVID-19 still spreading? Sure there are health workers and seniors, but that couldn’t be cause all the transmissions. Yeah there are people flying back from other countries late...but they are immediately self isolating right? Today I went to Kits Beach for the first time (social distancing and a mask). I watched as a group of couples slowly started gathering (friends from clearly different families) they also came at different times. Then there was 10. Zero attempt to spread out...Then the hugging started. I wondered: Did they get a different memo then rest of us? Were they a part of the COVID-19 survivors club? ...nope just STUPID!!! Same as the cramped night club they broke up Same as 1000s packed shoulder to shoulder for a rabbi’s funreal (who died of Covid 19 ironically) Same as the people that went shopping right after they came across the border and were told to self isolate. Same as the women I’ve seen for the past month walking together shoulder to shoulder in groups of 4+ that didn’t look related. Same as the construction works 1 foot apart with no PPE Same as the MMR anti vaccine idiots ...just f’n STUPID!!! I wonder why do I bother sometimes?

Those will be those with herd immunity eventually. The majority will survive, some won't. What's important is that they don't take COVID-19 back to the elderly or those with compromised immune systems.

People are going to get it. It's going to a year or two before we have a vaccine. What's important is that it's as gradual as possible and not a 2nd wave. I'm older. I not sure what direction that disease would take me, so I'll continue to social distance and wear a mask.

Too true

I cycle from Spanish Banks to Kits Beach, and as I drive, I mentally note who will be very sick and who will die. I see history repeating. Lots of self entitlement that doesn't mean immunity, but that's what happens when arrogance goes unchecked. When the survivors wail, crying "why?" they can look back and recall the year they thought they were impervious to a virus they were warned about. Serves them right. No sympathy for any of them. They're probably really douchey jerks anyway (arrogant types usually are), so no harm, no foul.

Not just two weeks

Try 70 days. People recovering in Wuhan were still shedding after 70 days...and counting. And unless you were very sick, you might not have immunity and get it over and over. We know so little about something that's easily caught that can accumulate and wear us down.

Yup

We are in for a hell of a Summer. Just wait for the deadly second wave in Fall. We are the smart ones.

so many reasons

You bother because you have more of a survival instinct than these examples you gave. You bother because you know that you can’t control how other people deal with this, but you can control how you deal with it. You bother because you don’t want to die, and you don’t want others to die. You bother because you understand basic concepts of science while these others think they are immortal, immune.

You got it!

There are 4 people I know who went to Kit's yesterday, 1 of them I thought was smarter than that, I guess not. It's quite sad when you realize your "friends" are either SO selfish they only care about their own happiness, OR they are just plain stupid and don't get how the virus works. Regardless, I doubt these peoples careless behaviour will. change, and ultimately they will be part of the 2nd wave because if their carelessness. Remember the term survival of the fittest?

Thank you for this post

You just summed up my feelings of the past few weeks and now I know I'm not alone.

Just wondering

May 10, 2020 at 1:08pm

Just wondering who are the thumbs down? Are you pro-covid19? Or like the OP states "just stupid"? The health guidance is clear to still keep in small #s and maintain physical distance not to spread this thing. This thing isn't over. Keep it up and we'll be locked in out homes in the fall for 6 month+ next time...dumbasses.

Problem Being...

The problem being these people are make decisions for others as they can be mega carriers and not even know it. So they kill YOUR grandmother for what so they can be cool on Kits beach for an hour.

Don't get me wrong I see people in the parks and beaches socially distancing and remaining vigilant. There needs to be some outlets for nature, but as the author says COMMON SENSE PEOPLE.

Sure herd vaccination will likely kick in before a vaccine, but that doesn't mean you need to be stupid.

70 days? How is that possible? I says that there has only been 2 new cases of Covid-19 in all of China yesterday.

The CCP would never lie to us would they? We could never call them out on it, cause people can't comment a crappy communist regime without someone pulling out the race card. Chinese people are awesome but the CCP are lying sacks of dog poo poo.
