The Minister of Finance for Ontario went on a Caribbean vacation after locking down the entire province.

Before he left he took a series of photos in various places around his riding and had his staff post them to his Twitter account periodically to make it look like he was still in town. He even pre-recorded a fake Christmas Eve video of himself at his home in front of his fireplace talking about all the great sacrifices we are all making for the greater good and blah blah yadda yadda and please stay home and don't visit your family etc etc meanwhile he was on a ****ing beach in St Bart's.

Our own politicians don't even believe the shit they are trying to sell us.

Would you like the stadiums to be empty forever?

PGA is also allowing limited patrons. Is that so crazy?

Getting back to normal is going to be a slow go. Yeah I know we’re going to wear masks forever and blah blah but eventually this will be in the rear view mirror.

It’s called trying to deal with the virus without being irresponsible health wise.

No different than 25% capacity in restaurants and many other limited numbers

Florida says they will have limited fans for their NHL games. No choice really, if they put 25% in the arena in the past they would
Have set an attendance record

Many states here, mainly in the south, have been allowing fans for months at NFL, college, and other football games well in excess of the 9% that Cuomo has decided is safe. Infection and death rates have not skyrocketed and people aren't dropping dead in the streets.

Hell NO I don't want empty stadiums forever. I want idiot politicians to actually rely on science and objective evidence, instead of whatever they're relying on now, to make sound decisions. Unfortunately that's all too rare right now.

If it saves just one life...is one of the dumbest statements ever made.

Social distancing works.

I have eaten out at places that have social distancing and walked out of a Mexican place that didn't.

If you think that packing fans to capacity into a stadium during a pandemic is a good idea, I have some secret items I want to sell to you.

For some perspective: The daily US mortality rate for COVID-19 deaths is equivalent to the September 11, 2001, attacks, which claimed 2988 lives,1 occurring every 1.5 days, or 15 Airbus 320 jetliners,2 each carrying 150 passengers, crashing every day. But, move along, nothing to see here.

And I promise, the deaths are FAR UNDERreported, despite the conspiracy theories to state otherwise. In our town, many unattended home deaths because people didn't or couldn't seek medical attention. Authorities called out on "odor" call AKA > decomp. These are ACTUAL cases my husbands detectives have to work, not conspiracy made up news BS.

News reports of the opposite. Lots of Covid deaths when they weren't. Hospitals getting $77k a Covid case.

Of course distancing works. That's why the states allowing fans are limiting it to 25% or so of the stadium's capacity. It seems to have worked well for months, yet NY didn't allow any fans until it's a playoff game AND the Governor wants to attend, then 9% capacity is okey dokey.

I'll wait while you quote where I've said "packing fans to capacity into a stadium during a pandemic is a good idea."

Some additional perspective: The daily US mortality rate for smoking-related deaths is far greater than from COVID, and yet smoking is completely legal and the US and state governments rake in untold amounts of tax money. We could save 500,000 lives EVERY SINGLE YEAR, not just one year, by simply banning smoking, yet we don't do that. Why not? But, move along, nothing to see here because COVID deaths bad, smoking deaths okay.

I don't know if COVID deaths are under or over reported. I do know that the US is on track to have ~3 million people die in 2020 - the exact same number as in previous years. Huh, imagine that.

Approximately half of the COVID deaths in the US have been people over the age of 80 in long-term care facilities. How many of them would have died this year without the pandemic? Things that make you go hmmmmm...
