Doctor declares it would protect the economy until vaccines are ready for release



One of President-elect Joe Biden's coronavirus advisers floated the idea of a nationwide coronavirus lockdown in an effort to rein in the illness and rejuvenate the economy as new cases climb once again.



Michael Osterholm, a University of Minnesota expert on infectious diseases, said in an interview with Yahoo! Finance that a four- to six-week lockdown could both control the virus' spread and benefit the economy.



"We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages, for individual workers," he told the outlet, noting low interest rates. He added that federal borrowing could bail out small- and medium-sized companies, cities, states and county governments.

We know how lock downs affected the economy. Besides the economic devastation caused by forcing businesses to shut down, Biden never campaigned on it.



This is the Biden/Harris plan to contain the virus? Like really.

Ticketmaster has confirmed that they are working on a system that will use smart phones to verify a customers COVID status, including if they've been vaccinated.



The ticket distributor is currently exploring and planning to develop the system that will sync digital tickets with information from third party healthcare providers.



The provided information from the health care providers will include the customers COVID-19 vaccine status and test results.



So, no vaccine, no concert attendance.

I fear this will not be enough and that Alberta will have a hard lock down right before or during Christmas.



New restrictions announced for Alberta as 860 COVID-19 cases, 10 deaths reported Thursday



New targeted restrictions are on the way for some Alberta regions in hopes of bringing spiking COVID-19 cases under control.



Indoor group fitness classes and team sports will be prohibited for two weeks from Nov. 13-27, Premier Jason Kenney announced Thursday afternoon. This applies to the Calgary area, Edmonton area, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Lethbridge and Red Deer.



The above restrictions do not apply to junior, college and university sports. Kenney said they have additional public health measures in place to limit the risk of exposure.



Restaurants and pubs in the above areas, as well as areas on "enhanced status" must stop liquor sales by 10 p.m. and close by 11 p.m. This measure will also be in place from Nov. 13-27.



Kenney also said amateur singing, dancing and theatre groups will also have to take a two-week break when enhanced pandemic measures begin Friday.



This two-week push is, I believe, our last chance to avoid more restrictive measures that I and most Albertans desperately want to avoid," Kenney said.



Additional public health measures will also be implemented in all regions under enhanced status. The following measures will be in place until further notice:



-Maximum attendance of 50 at wedding or funeral ceremonies



-It is recommended all faith-based activities limit attendance to one-third capacity per service



-Residents should not hold social gatherings within their homes and should not plan social gatherings outside their community



-It is recommended employers in office settings implement measures to reduce the number of employees in the workplace at one time



The province said these measures will be monitored and additional measures will be implemented if needed.

In past 30 days, it's gone from 300 new cases / day to now pushing 800, even blips close to 900



During same period, we have gone from less that 200 to almost 600



A doubling or more pretty much keeps replicating   itself



Sadly, it is pretty much out of control & we can expect increasing regulations



It's not just in our provinces, it's most everywhere



We are getting crackdowns also .. and I fear a lot more if it continues to spread



A lot of it is stupidity.  It only takes a small part of the population being irresponsible to keep it spreading

Here in the Czuk 30% of "elective" surgeries are on hold or cancelled as every hospital has COVID outbreaks except the Stollery Kids hospital.

Not good

Here in the Czuk 30% of "elective" surgeries are on hold or cancelled as every hospital has COVID outbreaks except the Stollery Kids hospital.

Some of those so called electives are very necessary treatments and surgeries.

Biden coronavirus adviser Dr. Zeke Emanuel once argued it's not worth living past 75

Biden will be 78 next week



Oncologist Dr. Zeke Emanuel, one of 10 advisory board members named to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden's coronavirus task force, argued in a 2014 essay that he doesn't want to live past 75.



Emanuel, 63, wrote that "by 75, creativity, originality and productivity are pretty much gone for the vast, vast majority of us" in his 2014 essay "Why I Hope to Die at 75."

It doesn't say for how long..



My brother lives in Manitoba and so do IHJ and Thiel.



WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government is forcing non-essential stores to close and banning social gatherings in an effort to stop a surge of COVID-19 cases.



Starting Thursday, non-essential retail outlets will be limited to curbside pickup and delivery, and churches will not have in-person gatherings.



Social gatherings with anyone other than household members will be forbidden, and restaurants, museums, theatres and recreational activities must close.



Schools will remain open as the province's chief public health officer says officials are not seeing much transmission within schools.



Premier Brian Pallister says the province is at a critical point in its fight against the virus.



Manitoba leads all other provinces in per-capita active cases.
