It's funny that he's boasting about Alberta taking in other province's patients while Alberta is trying to offload patients onto others and got told to eat poo poo.

https://twitter.com/EllieComm/status/1443026738989068294 Honestly Kenney's response as to why he's been rejecting help from other provinces is baffling. Your modeling suggests the wave will peak in late October. So why are you refusing aid now when it could mitigate that situation, rather than waiting for things to reach their absolute worst before you act? Why the hell does everything have to be a reactive response? Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Sep 29, 2021 |

Arc Hammer posted:https://twitter.com/EllieComm/status/1443026738989068294 Haven't you heard? He's got a civic election and referendum to get through by mid October. The medical help will wait until then. Seriously, we're at the point that a fair number of Albertans would believe it was raining if the UCP told them that it was, even while Jason Kenney was pissing on their leg. He's weighing the projected losses against the face he'd lose by admitting he needs help, and would thereby lose political capital. You see, you have to think about it without any sort of empathy or concern for your fellow human being to get into his mindset, but there you are.

Jason Kenney is such an utter bastard. I keep hoping he’ll be something other than a complete loving rear end in a top hat motherfucking prick, and yet he always is the absolute worst person he can possibly be. He wakes up every miserable loving morning of his worthless bastard life and commits to choosing the worst of possible actions.

I think they are serving the tourism industry. Literally in the 3rd wave the closed Whistler which was a known hotbed of infections and where the P1 variant was circulating the day after March Break ended. You can't get much more blatant than that. And it's not a one off, even when they started restrictions in the interior, they made it clear that people could still travel to and from there for vacations, even with unvaccinated kids. I dont understand the anti-masking stance this province has. It makes no sense. Masks are easy, effective and cheap.

Yeah. This. If they said, "We just don't care anymore. gently caress it." It would at least make sense. But living in this world where they spew nonsense to rationalize policy that isn't based in science is maddening. For example, BC has a vaccine card program. Vaccines and masks were not required at this event last weekend because it was "outdoors". https://twitter.com/Craig_Mc_B/status/1442032652912001025?s=19 Edit: Alctel posted:There is a very strong belief from either a person or persons in charge that in-person schooling is more important than anything else.

I mean, there's some truth to that, it seems to be pretty hard to get covid outdoors unless you're yelling into one another’s faces unmasked. This was a quiet contemplation festival, right? quote:I don't think that's the issue though. There's a belief that school with few to no mitigations is more important than anything else. I would love schools to be open as safely as possible which would mean with adequate ventilation, high quality masks and mask mandates, and routine testing. Honestly it just feels cheap. Though there are cheap solutions that also seem to be off the table (move the classroom outside) so I guess that's not the whole story either.

It doesn't even have to go so far as closing schools. Mask mandates, strict cohorting, outdoor lunches, cancelling all extra-cirricular activities for under 12s and bringing them back only with a vaccine mandate, and especially asymptomatic screening with rapid tests would go a long way, and still allows parents to work so number goes up. I get the reluctance to not close schools, because for a lot of parents that just completely fucks them over in ways that go beyond "just pay the parents to stay home". But the alternative seems to be just shrugging and not doing anything else.

Well, I think in all honesty, people fundamentally don't understand that navigating the pandemic is like captaining a large ship or a train or something. If you're headed towards a hazard, you may already be hosed because of your failures minutes ago, because you cannot react quickly. Schools can't be safe right now, because of choices we made weeks and months ago, and there's no way to avoid the consequences. It's magical thinking that there's some solution we can do right now which solves all our problems.

I think there's a lot of ways in which that's true, but as other people pointed out there are policy interventions which are cheap, easy, and effective to implement. The lesson of March 2020 is that institutions can make quick, radical policy changes if they give enough of a poo poo.

At the very least it seems Ford can be spurred to action by yelling at him loudly enough. The only reason ON is in the relatively good place it's in right now is that Ford folds when put under enough pressure. Of course it means we're always being reactive rather than proactive but I'm quite glad I don't live in AB.

Schools can't be safe right now, because of choices we made weeks and months ago, and there's no way to avoid the consequences. It's magical thinking that there's some solution we can do right now which solves all our problems. The thing is, it's not a binary of "hosed" / "not hosed". Even if you're hosed, you can be less hosed by doing everything that's possible. Closing schools is complicated for a whole host of reasons, but "schedule recess so kids aren't all playing together and cancel extra-cirricular activities" is cheap and easy, you could do it tomorrow if you wanted to, and it would almost certainly lower transmission to some degree - maybe even below 1! But even if it doesn't, it's worth doing because even slowing the transmission rate buys you time and gives you more room to maneuver so that you can figure out the complicated stuff. Saying "oh well, we're hosed, might as well stop trying" is never the right answer. Even if all you can manage is a half-assed NPI, it's still worth doing as long as it's not totally useless.

There are also a lot of antimaskers who don't call themselves that because they'll wear a mask if required and they whine about how the unvaccinated are loving us over and making us wear masks instead of whining about oppressive government and freedom. So their anger and perspective doesn't match the popular conception of anti maskers, but they're super eager to take them off the second they're allowed to and go to those concerts unmasked because "it's totally ok now, I'm vaxxed anyway."

I don't get it, and I've kind of given-up trying. There is no way in which the policies at can make sense to me morally, ethically or financially. I just honestly hope COVID doesn't end-up like polio. My dad almost died from polio as a little kid and it has changed his life. It's something I was acutely aware of growing-up. I hope this isn't creating a whole generation of kids that have new chronic conditions and post-viral syndrome later in life.
