Ummm yes I’m pissed as I watch the buses drive down the street, people (kids) having street parties, non essential services carrying on as normal. I’m 59 and due to some bad life choices (it was a fun run) my health is not perfect but I feel great, take care of myself and very rarely get sick ..... type 2 diabetic though, and waiting for heart operation (minor shit). My pissed off thing is honestly not about me at all, it’s about all the others that are forced to work (I’m done as of Monday and will work from home a few hours a day), I’ll be ok but FFS we need to take this shit seriously and could seriously slow it the fuck down. It’s about 1-2 weeks before this shit gets out of hand. I honestly was pissed about your constantly saying the US is fucked but we’re doing a great job here.......we’re all fucked, and we’re not doing a great job. I am glad you have finally realized or acknowledged it is going to get as bad here if we don’t smarten the fuck up. We can see what happens when idiots don’t.
PS yes 4 as of today in our area but I’m pretty rural so safe for now, going fishing as soon as the ice goes out

Like in most things trump takes up all the oxygen in the room and his performance was and is jaw dropping, Trump is why I ended up here in politics. Like I said we never heard too much from the medical or scientific community about problems in Canada, now that cases are increasing the system is starting to strain and we are hearing about issues. Issues like shortages of the chemicals needed to do tests and swabs etc. I thought we were testing vigorously and we are, compared to the USA, but not nearly enough. A lot of news about issues here is recent and it's the same everywhere, some governments and people not taking it seriously enough. Things are shutting down more each day here in NS, we've got about 15 cases and if we peek at 200 known in a couple of weeks, I'll be relieved
On the ground here Dudley I'm taking it very seriously at my local level and I'm doing everything in my power to help my community. I'm gonna talk to the local volunteer fire dept about a PPE drive from workshops and garages, also give a chance to those who bought up masks to give them away. They can set up drive thru drop off bins for glasses, face shield, reperators and other useful items. I 'm focusing closer to home, but the big news continues to come out of the states and I figure they are twice as bad off as we are in terms of infection rate and we are about a week ahead of tightening up our ship and social isolating. Even though you see crowds, many are taking what precautions they can and most people are taking this very seriously, the older the more serious.
I'm 65 myself, my health is good and I'm hunkered down and staying that way except to go out to buy groceries. I think the longer you can avoid this illness the better off you will be in terms of treatment options and survivability. Please do some homework on vitamin D, I'm taking 3000 !Us a day now and I'm getting sun at the first opportunity. It might reduce the chances of getting this bug (bigger viral load required) and help you avoid the worse effects if you do get it. Don't take my word for it, google me and make sure your family and friends are not deficient. It's hard to OD on vitamin D, even though it's oil based. It might be the best thing you can do, check out some videos Dudley, this is solid science, have a boo, most people are vit D deficient this time of year.
