D&D and the rising pandemic

Ontario, Canada has dropped to 3041 active cases.

Today the guidelines now include forming a 'social circle' of up to 10 people who may come closer than 2 metres from each other including hugging.

 

[abirdcall]

Yeah. If they want to take on the risk and go, it is their choice really. Just note if you know anyone going, and stay away until the incubation period has past.

In the end, this is what people may have to do, especially if COVID-19 turns out to be here to stay. Try and be responsible (el oh el) and when they cannot be, everyone else around them may have to pick up that slack.

There is nothing responsible about an indoor gathering of that size.

That's basically our bubble concept. UK is starting that idea I think.

We weren't allowed to have gatherings of 10 people until alert level 2.

Yeah, this is 'phase 2'.

Yeah. If they want to take on the risk and go, it is their choice really.

The risk, of course, isn't really to the people who go to the rally, you know.

Statistically speaking - if you get covid-19, someone else dies. Say you get it - you probalby won't need to go to the hospital, and if you do go to the hospital, you will proably survive. But, if you get it, with an R0 somewhere over 2, you will probably give it to a few people, and they will give it a few people each... and after a couple steps of that, statistically speaking, someone dying becomes a nigh certainty.

So, statistically speaking, if you get covid-19, you are likely to be the cause of someone's death. You will probably not know this person, or ever know they got sick, but they will die, regardless.

Not shocking that going to a rally requires signing a waiver. CYA and all that.

Except for the Greater Toronto-Hamilton area and Lambton (Sarnia), and Essex (Windsor) counties. So I'm still on lock-down.

The 10 person social circle guideline applies to the entire Province.

The problem is, they're probably not going to catch it, and only they take the damage from the disease. These are the people who don't wear masks, or socially distance, or protested against the shutdown. They'll be spreading it to other people.

I would support this statement if their bad decisions only effected themselves, but they're not, they'll increase Covid-19 across the country. There's more than 30,000 of them. If even one percent of them catches Covid-19 (which more will, most likely), that's 300 more people, spreading it to their families and communities across the country.

Local team win. 20000 fans crammed into my cities stadium.

First major event post Covid.
