The sky is not falling

[Keith Brown]

Firstly, I want to say I am following the Alberta Governments Covid-19 web site. It is clear to anyone who can read that we want to do everything we can, not to overwhelm our health facilities and front-line health care personal.

I also know this for certain; Covid-19 will come and go, the Sun will come up in the east, the Rockies will remain in the west and the good time will come again. I understand if you are listening to News or reading the Newspapers you won’t hear these facts. On the contrary you will Constantly hear that the Sky Is Falling and that you are Chicken Little and is
your DUTY to run around like a CHICKEN WITH YOUR HEAD CUT OFF.

I’m looking forward to the end of this hysteria. I hope I’m wrong in my suspicion that the impact the measure that we are currently are enduring are worse than the impact the current measures are having on my family friends, neighbors and fellow Albertan's.

that could be true, but I think you should board yourself up in the basement for a few months just in case.....

unfortunately there are too many self absorbed millennial's(and other uneducated tirds) that want to believe they can stop the course of nature by being a SJW.

The only way they can feel in control is to fuel the hysteria.

But hey, you wont be able to convince that crowd using rational thinking, because there's no drama there.

Canada could be free from covid-19 in just 2-3 weeks. With no isolation and zero worries about catching it.

Well Keith, it is crazy times for sure.

What to believe? What to do? Where to go? Why?

The media is out of control. The government acts too slow and just makes me laugh. All the lies that come from loose lips is disgusting. This was okay yesterday but not today sort of thing! The financial help is just a big boondoggle. I feel for anybody who takes it as it will more than likely cost and arm and a leg to out of the paperwork and paying back.

I agree, the Sky is not Falling and chicken little is just fine floating around up there watching all the craziness!!

Well if the sky is falling I wish it would warm up enough too melt the ice off the road so I can re juvinate my let’s burn some fuel thread. I need too self isolate in the wind!

Yes it is....

 

[catmando]

Yes it is....

Debbie Downer!

The stay at home and social isolation thing isn't even that bad. The real problem is the crap weather. It has been averaging like 10C below average for the last 3 weeks here. Brutal.

I expected global warming to be a lot warmer than this.

Chances are good most of us won’t even know somebody who’s died from covid.
Chances are real good we will all know somebody who’s lost everything and is homelsss by covid

Remember they changed it to climate change so any weather could be blamed on the evil people ruining the planet.

I think the problem is going to come into play many months down the road. People who barely get by will never catch up with payments once the deferrals end and everyone wants their money. I wonder if the government is going to try and bail them all out?

Just looked. Sky moved...

Sure hope not,,,

Sure hope not,,,

Same here. It will also come up at tax time next year when people who got the $8k payments have to pay taxes on it.

Interesting time to see people’s real colors, lots of social media public shaming as the worry warts and busy Betty’s have nothing better to do.

Going to be some good deals on fun things at that time.

Just looked outside and your right... then I realize it’s just a cloud. Glad I didn’t go all sheep like and tell the neighbors to run back inside.
