It’s pretty believable.

We can just go ahead and extend the border closure a few more months I think.

I want to go back to Hawaii at some point. I wish they would smarten up.

A young couple of my acquaintance are in BC attending university. They have lived on the mainland for a year, however their car bears a license plate from a US state well-known to us as a "hotspot". Being of no permanent address they are unable to get new BC plates. I was distressed to hear of the harassment they received when people spotted their taboo license plate so I attached an old BC plate atop theirs with a couple of elastic bands so at least while the car is parked in the driveway it will not attract unwanted attention from the self-righteous pitchfork crowd.
Meanwhile, I was at Costco today and little more than half the customers were wearing masks despite the fact STAFF WERE HANDING OUT FREE MASKS AT THE DOOR.

Ah, you must be a Liberal. The logic is clear as day to a rational person...

The majority of Victorians don't wear masks, and for about two months their government expressly reminded/asked them them not to wear masks, and that was during the height of the COVID outbreak in Canada.
Costco also doesn't care if their customers wear a mask or not, but they make them available should a customer wish to use one. I know that because I was just there and I asked:
"Is it mandatory?"
"Nope, not at all, but you can take one if you like."

The world's foremost medical experts also recommended bloodletting to cure most diseases. Do you have a point?

^How do you explain what's happening in Texas and Arizona at this hour?
Just because BC stops short of ordering mandatory mask-wearing doesn't mean they have no value. The consensus seems to be if everyone wore a mask the virus would extinguish itself within weeks.
I was going to ridicule your reading comprehension skills until I realized we went to the same high school.

A personal observation on Face Masks. A maintenance person in my building, removed his mask and complained of it and the gloves he was wearing. \
OK..well sir whatever your gloves touched prior to our encounter is now on your mask as you replaced it on our departure. Gloves and Masks are Strange Bedfellows!

I believe being named after a Left Handed Octupus is quite A-OK after her Left Handed Party!

Horgan, Turdeau, Tam et al have a lot to answer for.

Saturday's 506 national death count via @COVID19Tracking is the lowest Saturday total since March 21.
even as/if new cases go up (mostly because of more testing) deaths continue to decrease because we both know how to better treat cases but mostly because the most vulnerable know how to avoid it. and we know how to keep it out of care homes where most of the deaths originally were.
so it's absolutely incorrect to automatically assume a growth in new case today creates a directly corresponding number of new deaths down the line. that chart has changed drastically over the past 90 days. for the better.

The decreasing death rate is really good news. But I believe your thinking is outdated. It's not a binary situation, not a zero sum game of either you die or get better. We are only now understanding the effects on the brain and lungs and heart. Like when you hear a car accident victim having "non life-threatening injuries" and you think, oh, that's good, but it still could be life-altering; some of these Covid victims that would have died two months ago are surviving but with diminished lung capacity and minor cognitive impairments.

^I hope you recover from the stroke you just suffered typing out that sentence.
Thing is, we don't know how it affects people, we can't define "healthy". That lady that breezed through the 1918 flu and Covid contrasts with the relatively young and healthy people dying from it. You just never know. Middle-aged guys like us, it's a toss up, wouldn't you agree?
