Oh Florida. f***ing. f***ing Florida. F***ing why?! I know the really obvious answer but my question still rings true. EDIT: Shockingly, Florida had the most COVID deaths yesterday.

So we here in Dublin have been moved on to Stage 3 of the 5 tier system of COVID restrictions. Did we tell primary and secondary schools they can’t open? Did we tell people not to invite guests to their homes? Did we finally sort out the Direct Provision centers or the meat factories that had outbreaks of the virus? No, we told restaurants they could only serve their food outdoors or by takeaway. Because the literal smallest amount of cases of COVID in this country have come from those places. I know this post is a few days old but the early treatment of nursing homes, and ignoring of people living in Direct Provision and the complete selfishness of those that own and run the meat factories and the fact that some people working in meat factories for some reason could not apply for the covid payment will be looked on as the biggest contributors to cases and deaths in this country.

Absolutely. Throw in the fact we skipped steps without really thinking of the logistics in doing so because our cases were going down is a minor one in that list but still one that caused some of the problems we have right now.

Well then At this rate, I’m wondering if the Canadian border will be open by this year. Or if we even deserve it, after how badly things have gone for us.

This. All of This. And the people online that spout how they won't watch sports anymore because of all the politics, and don't care about the sports players anymore, seem to post more memes about it than anyone. My thoughts are: "I thought you didn't care about it. Then why are you posting all this shit about them?" Ya'll need to stop talking about my Uncle Joey. He gave up NBA and the NFL because "the players hate America and maybe they should leave". But sends me 18 texts during every Vikings game talking about how much Kirk Cousins sucks. My nephews are among my tutoring students for distance learning, and every day he says some new dumb shit like this. He told me that he no longer watches the NFL because "They aren't going to do the national anthem anymore, just the black anthem." And I'm like "There's a black anthem?.....is it better?" He is spouting Qanon nonsense constantly, and when I ask him where he gets it, it's always some shit he was told on facebook.

The border closing is until end of November for now. I'm pretty sure it will be extended until spring. But..can't anyone just fly back and forth from USA to Canada ? Just the physical borders closed.

As someone with a wife in Buffalo that I've been cut off from since this whole thing started, I can confirm the rule about only the land borders being closed. But I also can't risk catching it on a plane and then taking it to her because she's immunocompromised, so that's a non-option for me. And I'm not surprised Ontario's going back into lockdown. The small area I live in only had around 30 total cases in the last 6 months, but it recently ballooned to over 300 because people are getting careless.

Yeah a friend of mine's fiance is in Cleveland they haven't seen each other since February. They won't fly smartly either.

So thanks DeSantis...you hinted easing of restrictions was coming and then laid down the hammer out of nowhere, didn’t give any local governments a heads up and basically cut all of their legs from under them. Everyone is reading what he said however they feel like it and a lot of people think this means they don’t have to wear masks at all because he is stopping cities from fining people. It’s not a damn free for all. He’s giving businesses the option to run as seen fit...they don’t have to run at 100% if they don’t wish. They can still require you to wear masks to enter. He’s thrown everything into chaos by not laying the strict rules down with the local governments first. We all know why. It’s all a show of power.
On that note...our legal department said none of our stores in Miami-Dade, Broward or ours in the Keys can open up more yet. Which is fine...we have no staff at all.
Also, because it’s flat out not a coincidence and I’m not pointing this out to cause a political debate. I’m pointing this out because there’s zero shadow of a doubt he purposely picked today of all days to undermine the city governments. President Trump is in Florida today...I’m sure it’s all one big coincidence.

Oh, to add onto the fun with Governor DeSantis. Apparently Florida is no longer going to pay out Trump’s extra unemployment payment because of shenanigans. Supposedly the state’s unemployment payments are so shitty that Florida’s unemployed technically don’t make enough to qualify for the extra full amount.

Governments realised early that the virus purges undesirables. The sick, the elderly, minorities, poor people etc....The rich and well connected are insulated from danger for the most part, and if deranged conspiratorial types survive, they can be counted on for votes.

My brother-in-law and his wife have been draining their retirement savings to keep from being homeless now.

I've got a good friend of mine that I really want to see up North, but I'm not gonna do anything to put her at risk. Even if I'm currently COVID-free, I can't take the risk of potentially being seated next to someone that does.

Ontario hit a record number of Covid cases today 700. I know more testing but still not good considering some think the worst will be in November.
Gotta love the folks who act like it's over.
