A couple of questions:
What is the annual death rate 2015-2019 prior to Covid 19 ?
How many people, on average, die of the influenza variants each year ?
How many people in Canada die of natural causes – old age etc. ?
What are the numbers of people who die of so many others things – cancer, stroke, Cardiac Arrest, diabetes, and a million other diseases we rarely hear about ??
You are right – we really do not care about these figures. Do we?
Beat the pans, support the workers. Get into the game.
Is it not so much more fun being a follower and not a analyzer ??
My thought for the day –
Why are the homeless living on the cold streets – not dieing ?
Why are the well housed super heated seniors dieing ?
Beat the pans, support the workers. Get into the game.

“Why are the homeless living on the cold streets – not dieing ?
Why are the well housed super heated seniors dieing ?”
You need a spell checker.
Dying, NOT dieing.
Well-housed, NOT well housed.
Super-heated or superheated, NOT super heated.
Publisher: Wow Rosalind – you are perfect !

Good points Jack! There is a big panic, urgency towards making a vaccine for Covid and why dont we have the same panic and urgency for cancer, other flues, banning smokes etc.?? it all creates the same amounts of deaths or even more. We dont care? We cant find a cure? even after billions of dollars invested?
If we can find a cure for this Im sure we can fix all things you have mentioned too. But why dont we?

I know this is all been said, but I don’t think it can be said too often.. I want to give a shout out to the nurses, the staff at Seniors homes. I can’t imagine what they go thru’ everyday. The protection they have to wear, the poor sick people they have to look after, and then in some cases lose the battle. Also the staff in stores. Buy-Low is one of the cleanest stores, they are so good there & always remain so friendly. As well as Remedy Drug Store. You all deserve medals. “Some complain about having to wear a mask, try wearing one for 8-12 hours. Thank you to all of you. You are appreciated.
Publisher: Now Edna to be fair the staff at No Frills and Shoppers are excellent as well. In the past, in the moment, in the future – I have frequented them all.
Go up and down Main and Station Streets and say – those people are nice and still working – tax and accounting firms, dentists, bakers, candle stick makers, hair dressers, cafes, fish and chip stores, pizza places. And the TBS, the Telus, the FireHall Bistro, Town Hall, the FD, the RCMP, the people at the PO, the provincial government building and even the bars open late at night.
Now give Charlie a kiss!
