D&D and the rising pandemic

[Zardnaar]

With so many other fast food burger competitors? Probably not worth it - burgers will require different equipment in the kitchen just for the burgers...

We don't have all the other burger chains.

McDs and Burger King are your options. Getting premium small ones. Oh Wendy's is also here now. Good luck finding BK and Wendy's outside the cities though.

KFC burgers are decent and it's what I get when I go. Haven't been since December 2017. No point when fish and chip shops do burgers often better

We are already there.

No where near.

My current fear is a new surge coincident with seasonal influenza starting in late November / December pushes everyone back into isolation by Christmas.

Canada is preparing for a 2nd wave.

The plan as I understand it is to keep the state of emergency going for 'many weeks' and then only slowly relax the social distancing strategies province to province with contingencies for a 2nd wave.

Not until there is a vaccine will the emergency plan be fully relaxed.

If or more correctly when a second wave arrives I stop being worried about the virus and start being worried about the economy. That's the point when things really start getting bad IMO.

Yeah, I've been paying attention. Each province has been given the go-ahead to relax on its own terms though. I suspect social isolation will begin the relax by end of May at current trajectory. If the surge tails off nicely through the summer, humans being humans will relax and become complacent. A new surge in November will catch the population off-guard. Hopefully, those tasked with vigilance won't be and we'll get warning.
I... tend to do poorly in the late winter. Social isolation would make that period substantially worse.

Yeah, right now the message from all of the politicians I have been following is - 'don't get complacent'.

I imagine that will be hammered home from now until there is a vaccine.

I am grateful that all parties seem to be on the same page about this and are taking things seriously. The plan is to err on the side of caution to avoid the risk of losing all that we have accomplished.

Not only will this save lives but the economy will be much stronger in the end with this plan than with a plan that opens too soon and has everything crash again.

 

[abirdcall]

Yes

Every time you come in here and just say 'no' to someone's post I'm just going to say 'no' to your post.

Maybe eventually you'll see that this is not actually adding anything to the conversation.

There's been a bit of sniping at the federal level but so far it is controlled.

The don't get complacent messaging has been around don't break self-isolation yet. That sort of message will become a really hard sell by August if covid-19 seems to be reasonably well-controlled. My experience with people suggests memory loses its edge to affect behaviour after about 3-6 months. By Hallowe'en the population at large will have a fading memory of the spring and have resumed normal behaviour if it is allowed to. It is hard to affect how a population acts based on a single event.
