    I'm curious because our health unit has already vaccinated 30% of LTC residents with the first dose. If 80% of ICU patients are elderly then I would think the admissions should drastically reduce soon.

    Locally where I am - its greater than 90% ICU patients WITH COVID that are over the age of 70

    This is kind of funny, the letter I wrote to my MPP the other day hits on many of the same points in this article.....

     

    • Long term effect of people's health & well being
    • Long term effects financially
    • Long term effects of our kids, the/our future, dealing with this nonsense
    • Coivd hospital numbers compared to the number of hospitals in his province should not cause them to be on the brink of destruction - just poor planning, management, forward thinking & execution
    • Doctors running the show in the back ground vs. the folks I elected based on looking at all the data in front of them
    • Focus on the biggest problem, the minority that are at greatest risk and that need protection
    •  

     

     

    Because it's factual - and takes a common sense approach.

    Good for you for writing - you're making a difference in this.

    Ins companies should be showing record profits right now, no?

    • no traveling or reduced so less expense
    • people are putting off their health concerns to avoid possible risk exposure, so less prescriptions
    • less drivers on the road should equal less claims/accidents
    • many of their building are empty
    • projects for reno's & updates of their buildings are on hold with very little forecasted in the future
    •  
    • I would think possible home ins claims might be higher based on more being at home though

     

     

    Well, I don't really think so. My thoughts ( my own ) are this:

     

    1. Still lots of travelling - no real change there

    2. No comment from me - it's outside my areas

    3. Not really - lots still on the road - maybe a little less-  commercial transport went way up - more exposures

    4. Most don't own their buildings - empty - and PAYING rent

    5. Reno's etc. - have only been on hold now - Talk to a Contractor - I can tell you I know A LOT of them - record year - banner year - never been better.

     

    Do not forget the tremendous amount of cost is sending people home to work - IT - equipment, desks, chairs etc.

    i got an increase.................

    Might be a good time to get your broker working and shopping it for you.

     

    I think what people might not release is pandemic or not - claims don't go down or away, much like Covid and hospitals, known - day to day claims do not stop or disappear because of Covid.

    blatantly false and illegal

    Well, they are a private business and can close it to whomever they want, they should have just said they are choosing to do that.

    That said, you can freely move around in Ontario - the "Region of Muskoka" can not close it's pretend border to anyone from a different PHU regardless of if they say they are/can - it's not legal, period.

    I have 2 Seadoos and although they arent as much fun as sledding by any stretch of the imagination, I know it will be summer and they will be used.   The only bad thing that can happen is that it rains.

     

    The Seadoos are something that we can use as a family.   My wife and kids all pile on and he head up the Marine Railway a couple times a summer for an all day tour.

    We use them so much - they are a lot of fun.

    Don't worry about rain - wear goggles :)

    it actually states "if you intend" not have to . So your not in quarantine. 

     

    The less than 24 hour visit must be accompanied by a reason stated on the order as being permissible as well but . The 14 day visit does  does not.

     

    That being said the stay at home order is a regulation filed by an "order in council" so it in no way supercedes the Constitution and in reality has no teeth in a court battle. Likely why they set up the order to be as vague and open to "interpretation" as possible,

     

    Just my 2 cents on the last part.

    If you've ever been in court, anything "vague" or "grey" from the party who has the power to issue and/or create the document, say a contract, policy, etc. - always goes to the other parties favor.

    I could be wrong, but we arent in Stage 1 anymore are we?  

     

    I am kind of over this.   I am not going to get all worked up about.   I cant believe some of the responses I see from the Facebook Keyboard Warriors.    

     

    At this point, my brand new sled is sitting in trailer with 155kms on it.    If we get local snow, I will take it for a rip but I am not going to trailer up north to ride.   Hopefully this lockdown ends on Family Day Weekend and I will do my best to cram a seasons worth of riding into 6 weeks.     

     

    We are in Stage 1 of the Re-Opening Act - New "Stay at Home Order" is attached to it and was issued under the Emergency Act/Stage 1 Re-Opening Act that Ford re-implemented after falling out of his chair watching the colorful slideshow from the doctors.

     

    We're all over it - there has been zero sense of normalcy since March of last year.

    Lockdown ending by the first 30 days is NEVER going to happen - we're pinned now and we'll be here for 6 months is my guess.

    We remind riders that the OFSC is about riding trails, not travelling to them, so questions about travel restrictions on trailering away from home or outside your public health region should be directed to local law enforcement agencies as municipalities and public health units across Ontario have the authority to enact local restrictions in addition to provincial legislation.

     

    Has anyone confirmed with their local law enforcement or public health unit that’s it’s okay to trailer your snowmobile within your health unit area?

     

    The way I read this the OFSC is saying if you can sled from your front door it’s okay, trailering they don’t know and are not committing to finding out

    Which is totally fair - it's up to the Government to outline this.

    At this stage it’s not about how well you can do your job wearing a mask is it?    There are a lot of people forced into wearing masks whose performance maybe reduced or are uncomfortable wearing a mask at work.   

     

    Either we are all in this together or we are not!  

     

    Professional sports is not a essential service.  They are not necessary. They can wear masks as an example or don’t play!    

     

    Or do we give exemptions to everyone?  Or just the rich?   Or the politicians?   

    If I own the team and pay you 8 million a season, you bet it is. I want wins, I want performance, take the cloth of your face.

    if your employer has chosen to force you to wear a mask, they made that call, you have rights and you have options.

    we have never been in this all together, it's a nice tag line, but it's never been true and never will be

    i am glad professional sports are going, it's time to return to normal, they are as necessary as anyone working and they can also not wear masks and lead by example how other efforts can be successful.

    Just got back from our daily trip to the park with the dog. Met up with our Coroner friend and his dog. He tells me that if he is specifying cause of death for someone with a heart condition that was stable but died of heart failure and had COVID he would state the cause of death as being the heart (one of the many tongue tying conditions) but exacerbated due to COVID.

    People have life insurance, doctors have a job to do, expectation is they do it proper, cause has an affect.
