Manitoba can't afford another quarter person in hospital with VITT, it's a shrewd move.

DariusLikewise posted:Ahhhhh gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you Excuse me but the ICU beds Pallister's government foolishly eliminated would have been very busy, adding further stress to healthcare and the numbers of people in Manitoba ICUs goes down when you ship them out of province and have them die outside of the province rather than within it. Also ... sports metaphor. Pallister and his toadies are the worst.

Hahaha when Pallister came into power I lost a co worker in my department due to cutbacks, every PCH I know suffered massive losses (gee I wonder if that had anything to do with why the pandemic hit the pch's so hard hmmmm) and I personally knew so many doctors and nurses that lost their job or were strangled out by reduced hours to the point working at McDonald's made more money. I would not be able to help myself laughing if he responded to a question like that. Probably piss him off too since there's no way he truly believes that poo poo.

The province is paying to airlift them there and back and presumably footing the bill for their care. No one seems to know how the gently caress they are going to bring back the two people that died in Ontario though so the families can make funeral arrangements.

I wonder what Rick Bell's angle is by pressing this question. He's usually on Kenney's side for all these updates and now he's asking about how Kenney refusing to admit fault is undermining public trust. Is he one of those nutso libertarians who only likes the ruling government when they are beating down people he doesn't like and throws them under the bus the moment he actually has to deal with face-eating leopard consequences?

Yes, that and he has a weird penchant for thinking he is speaking for the common man so he tends to push back on topics that he think they'll be pissed about. Whether this is some internal justification to himself to not being a straight up mouth piece or actual its hard to tell.

Kenney has zero support on this issue from anyone but his lackeys. Whether you think the rules are all stupid and we should just open ‘er up, or whether you think what he did was reasonable but clearly against the rules, or whether you think that situation is actually risky, the one thing pretty much everyone can agree on is that it was a fuckup. I happen to think it’s not a big deal except for the fact that he violated some fairly unreasonable rules that he himself created and expected everyone else to abide by. We ought to be pissed, and the reason we ought to be pissed is the double-standard involved.

terrorist ambulance posted:Their whole thing has been blaming all the spread on social gatherings. Yeah, but I mean we all know very well that was bullshit, and in those cases where it was true, it was more about indoor social gatherings (much more likely during winter) than having a meal outside. They're hypocritical pieces of poo poo, there's no doubt about that, but the issue here is, reasonably, not a few guys sitting outside on the deck (who, I should add, could be trivially contact-traced if it came to that, which is why I think this is safer than restaurant patio situations). That's simply not very risky now that case counts are reasonable and most people in Alberta have at least one dose of vaccine.

I firmly believe that the people who make the rules have an obligation to follow the spirit, not just the letter. If you can't eat your own drat dog food that you're forcing on everybody else, what's the point of it in the first place.

It's the weird thing in public discourse where you could have a 300 Million procurement gently caress up and no one bats an eye but if someone expenses $3,000 of OJ then its real and definable to the common voter. Its never the big things that take people down its the small and contextual things. Kenney defaulting to gaslighting also just throws gas on the fire.

I'm not sure, but I think if you stick to personal limits as mandated by Elections Alberta it's kosher. The funding laws were pretty lax pre-Notley, and the only restrictions they've put into place, as far as I know, were to restrict them from businesses and unions. I think you'll be okay if you want to slide them  or something. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10158007830387681&set=a.10150790853667681 Edited to correct a spelling mistake and a contradictory sentence.

Having trouble making sense of Dr. Williams' comments made today about an uptick in cases in Ontario potentially delaying Step 1. He's referring to the increase in cases between Tuesday and today, but if you follow these numbers on a daily basis, you know by now that the lowest case counts of the week tend to be reported on Tuesday, followed by an increase in cases until Friday, and then a decline until Tuesday. Furthermore, each day this week has reported a significant decrease in case count when compared to the same day the week before - today's count of 914 new cases is better compared to last Friday's count of 1,270, rather than yesterday's count of 870. So, is Dr. Williams ignoring the established pattern in order to provide Ford cover not to accelerate the announced reopening schedule, or are the higher-ups in the Ford government still unable to discern basic data patterns after 15 months of this pandemic?

Williams can't determine basic speech patterns let alone modeling patterns. Every time Dr. Brown announces new modeling and trends Williams ignores him and contradicts what he's saying.

It's 100% cover, there's no way that someone could fail at something so basic. Every armchair epidemiologist has figured out by now that day to day shifts are meaningless, I refuse to believe that Williams is genuinely that dumb.

I absolutely believe Williams is that dumb AND that he's making a smokescreen for Doug. It's impossible to listen to Williams and not come away thinking he's one of the dumbest motherfuckers to hold the position of Chief Public Health Officer. But Yaffe gave the game away when she was caught on a hot mic bemoaning why she even bothers to do updates when the higher ups tell her and Williams what to say. They're complicit. Yaffe doesn't care, Williams is too stupid to hold ill intent.

Speaking of which: https://www.skypalace.ca Cases are reasonable right now, vaccines are increasing, and a small group of people gathering outside with reasonable distancing has always been reasonably safe. It was allowed last summer, people were doing it safely without vaccines at all, and the cases only started spiking in September when school started and things cooled down. It's time, we should be allowed to gather outdoors again. Would it be better if they were further apart? Yes. But, overall, it's a pretty safe situation compared to literally any school and the vast majority of workplaces, and compared with restaurant/bar patios, it would also be trivial to contact-trace and isolate if necessary.
