Necessity is the mother of invention. Always come prepared.

To each their own, but I'm not so sure I would be using my own gaunch as a mask.

I guess it would depend on what I ate the night before as to whether I would go there or not. Last night was chili, so I'd pass on that today.

Well that's some real thinking outside the box.

any word if the province is going ahead with Step 2?

This is what Shandro said on Friday:

"Current trends mean Alberta will likely move forward with the next phase of its economic relaunch, Shandro said Friday.
That could happen as early as Monday, when the cabinet committee on COVID-19 will meet to discuss the possible next step, three weeks after the first set of restrictions were eased.
If the group decides to lift some restrictions, those changes could come into effect the same day, chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw said earlier this week.
The eased restrictions would apply to retailers, hotels, conference centres, and banquet and community halls. Indoor fitness and children’s sport and performance could also see a further lifting of measures. Details on specifics are not available.
Alberta has more than met one of the previously outlined thresholds for entering the next phase of relaunch, which required fewer than 450 concurrent COVID-19 hospitalizations by March 1.
Shandro said Albertans should remember that, even though some restrictions could be eased, some will still apply.
He said current data supports moving forward but said the last week of data still must be reviewed.
“Some of the caveats that were put on it, was if we see … concern over the past week with increases,” Shandro said. “I don’t see that at this time though.”

And I'm usually the one that gets booted off here for that kind of stuff.

I predicted 3 weeks ago that we could be down below 250 hospitalizations by beginning of March. Just need a minus 1 tomorrow in that category. Amazing. And ICU's below 50. A month ago, they were around 150. Cases going up, which is a bit of a concern, but what these numbers tell me is that the virus is still out there, but is infecting younger, healthier people, who are able to fight it off without having to go to hospital.

I used to think they were as well, until the thought police on here tried to brainwash me.

How could we not? We should be going directly to step 3 to be honest.

I hate that virus but love this thread title. That old Ted Nugent classic keeps playing in my head.

The funny thing is we are still seeing a decrease when many businesses defied the re-opening plan and just went ahead and opened anyways.

It was the same thing AHS sent home for my daughter back in december

Since this story aired a great many similar experiences are popping up across the country. This is what happens when people trust their "experts" and don't speak up. Those in charge can't even isolate the worst prisoners in this country as they are ordering you to do to your child. Yet they feel it is OK to do it to your children in the name of numbers.

I urge anyone who has followed this advice and seen the harmful affects it has had on your child to contact a good lawyer. In other words, everyone who has followed this advice. We worked with problem youth in house settings and YACs and no staff was allowed to do that to a child under 18. It was deemed cruel.

Hire a lawyer. If enough do it, they will start a class action suit. You will get paid. No Judge in the country will give anyone a pass for such advice. No Judge will give anyone the authority to act cruel toward a child.

So every hospital except one had a decrease in the number of ICU admissions in 2020 except for the UofA which had an insignificant increase (and it likely had the largest increase in ICU capacity).

They were the alternative ICU when the Mis and Alex were shut down for outbreak control

Makes sense that they would have a small increase then.

so really at any point were our ICU’s overwhelmed? If they were why hasn’t there been mass hysteria in the media for the last decade with the numbers where they have been?
