But wait a minute folk...Dr. Fauci disagrees with the WHO. But we have to believe the science. What should we do. How about just get out and enjoy life.

We can post stuff here so Rockie can read it in his isolation ward. Its a beautiful day today. Not planning to go within 6 feet of Anyone else unless I decide to do some protesting or looting. Justin will be my role model.

If you and your family are sooo much smarter than the people on this forum, why are you wasting your time engaging us?

Why don't you do something smarter than us all and exit this forum and do something productive instead of engaging "idiots"......it only makes you look like one.

Your comments are getting hypocritical. :roll:

Rip.

Nice to see this thread hasn't yet devolved into a discussion about an aviation related topic and that everyone is staying firmly in their own lane of expertise.

Part of the return to normal. Kids in school for a month in Quebec...no issues.

Stay quarantined if you are vulnerable.

From the article:

close to 50 students and more than 30 staff tested positive for COVID-19

Not exactly no issues. Interesting article, it would be good to hear from what public health officials have to say about the results thus far and how the reopening of boarders across Europe goes.

We live in a covid world. Why would people testing postive for it surprise anyone? It is only an issue if it gets into vulnerable populations. Testing is up almost everywhere, and people then seemed surprised we are getting more positive test results back. When we do start flying more, there will be more articles about how dangerous it is. Apparently, the only safe thing we can do is hide inside. But then if we did that, next we will read about how horrible that is for our health. Then a vaccine will come out, and we will heat about how that won't eliminate it, and it isnt a 100% and we need to be careful. And then eventually the news will move on to the next crisis of the moment. My bet is on Trump winning again.

It will be interesting to see what the new normal looks like . With over 1300 hundred variants to this one virus and its crippling effects on survivors . The Zombie Apocalypse and the Walking Dead may envy the dead .
There was a reason why the Geneva Convention banned such weapons that the NIH Funded Lab in Wuhan was working on . There was a reason why biological warfare weapons were banned . The reckless function gain experiments in a Laboratory with a history of leaks and incompetence has unleashed a slow moving plague upon the earth . A plague with no cure and no treatment.
The WHO says the worst is yet to come !!!

Who do we thank for this new normal ?

Why the fu(k would you send samples of extremely dangerous viruses to a lab doing these function gain experiments which are banned in civilized countries?

Why would you want to force ebola to mutate into a more dangerous virus?

And save "to find a cure" as an answer... a nuke will cure a region with an ebola outbreak with a lower risk to the world's population than what these guys are doing. If anyone had any sense they'd burn all their creations right now.

The guy in charge of that Laboratory in Downtown Winnipeg is Dead .
We may never know why his Laboratory allowed these shipments .
The spooks have a name for such deaths , been so long since I heard it . Something nautical to do with balance . John La Carre used it in TTSS .

Isn’t it like a Cold War in the sense that every major power would also want to develop the capacity for a biological weapon? Also we wouldn’t have cures/vaccines/treatments for everything we do if it weren’t for all the sketchy research they do. So it’s not all reckless.

There are serious ethical questions about increasing the transmissability of deadly viruses. GOF research in H1N1, SARS, and MERS was stopped in the US 6 or 8 years ago because of the high potential risks... And now we have sent ebola to a place in China where they are doing it with worse,. and with no transparency, and holding our own kidnapped citizens, and worse...

It's CBC but for once seems largely factual. I've been loosely following this virus story since last summer. When the government clams up, there is always more than meets the eye. Same as the story about the senior civilian RCMP guy in the hoosegow for espionage.

Have a read

Still no explanation for why the Chinese were escorted out.....

And of course there's the question nobody is asking - why were Chinese Nationals allowed in to begin with? How naive do you need to be not to understand they are only there to spy for China?

I'll bet you or I couldn't get into this lab.

some @#$! up shit is happening. We are definitely in a cold war against china. I see the propaganda everywhere around me. Got an Epoch times copy the other day in the mailbox....6 pages of only bashing China. The ENTIRE newspaper. I couldn't believe my eyes. I did a bit of research and found out its a NY based company. Prolly some CIA and CSRS collab to harvest war.

Right on Eric. The Chinese must laugh at how naive we are.

We are more concerned that we will appear racist by being cautious of a ruthless dictator that kidnaps our citizens, vanishes it's own, fills concentrations camps with minorities, exports fentanyl to our cities, unleashes a viral pandemic on the world, steals our tech/IP, and sells us knock off junk, including useless PPE.

Agreed, I wish more people would see it this way. The fentanyl and the money laundering in BC alone were enough without everything else you added. Canada needs to be more forceful and less accommodating.

There's another important question that needs to be asked:-

How many Canadian Politicians are on the Chinese payroll?

Who has accepted donations from China or organisations who are nothing but a front for Chinese interests?

I'm sure there's quite a story here if anyone choses to investigate.

Call me old fashioned but selling out your country for money is called TREASON in my book.
