You really think getting the virus under control just happens? The shutdowns and Social Distancing guidelines had to happen first. 

Perhaps, if they start taking the virus seriously. You know that Blindspot the Texas Gov is talking about. 

 

Sorry...no hero medals will be handed out after "control" follows disaster....not even in Canada.

You can be afraid as much as you want...doesn't mean other people or nations will all do the same.

I just accept reality for what it is...

Life...and death...goes on...mask optional.

Except in places that they aren't. 

You Americans really love culture wars.

...and some of you Canadians love to watch American culture wars.

Young people want to party...protest...pull down some statues....and post videos.

Mind your own knitting when it comes to COVID...other people make different choices.

Trainwrecks are, most certainly, fascinating. So is talking about them.

More Blindspots.

Counties that don't enforce health orders that aim to halt the spread could see state funding withheld, Newsom said, urging residents to wear face coverings and social distance. The fiscal threat comes amid a surge in cases across several states and highlights tensions between public health guidelines and the push to resume life as it was before the pandemic.

"California has a responsibility and obligation legally and otherwise to enforce those laws," Newsom said, adding that it may utilize "the power of the purse" to do so. "That will be an exception and we hope we never have to trigger that."

Doesn't matter...they still watch and talk about the "train"...even when it is parked.

The guy's obsessed.  I've never seen anything like it before in this forum.

2017...2016...2008...2004...2000...1996...1992....etc., etc.

Covid is just another part of the show that never ends "south of the border", and Canada will always be watching.

I am hoping that the border stays closed for another year just to see what happens to travel patterns and bitch fests.

Keep up these numbers and it will. 

Closed to Europe and the rest of the developed world as well.

The European Union is making a list of countries whose travelers will be allowed to visit this summer — and for now at least, the U.S. doesn't seem likely to meet the criteria based on its recent coronavirus numbers.

The United States has the most cases of any country in the world, and many states are reporting sharp rises in new cases as they ease shutdown orders.

Great !  Trump will get what he wants because of COVID.

The border means a lot more to Canadian travelers than to Americans.

I'm sure states that depend of foreign tourism don't like that. 

BTW, I'm curious does the US have 2 week quarantine rules? Because the border really isn't closed. The land border is (Except to Trade), but if I can find a flight into Murika, I still can. Not that I'd want to.  The trick is, I have to Quarantine for 2 weeks when I return. 

That's the biggest issue involving NHL and MLB returns. It's actually a lot safer for the Blue Jays to play in Toronto than Dunedin, but they need an exception for the 2 week rule.

No...most places do not have that stupid ass "rule"....we are not sheep.    Canadians use to travel to the U.S. by a 2:1 ratio, and the U.S. is 10X the population.

No big loss....NFL matters a lot more now.    Take a knee for COVID-19.

And when we don't, who suffers from that? Not Canadians. 

Less than half of Americans even have a passport.

No sport has clarity on how it'll be re-opened. Even the NFL.

We'll see....Canadians who regularly scrambled across the border to get their U.S. address packages, cheaper consumer goods, and more variety will begin to feel the squeeze.  Ditto "Sunbelt" snowbirds, split families, visa workers, illegals, drug dealers, gun runners, etc.

Americans don't think about crossing the border as much as Canadians do.

Thank god, because half of your liberal idiots threatened to move here in Nov 2016. It would be like a plague of locusts. 

If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

If you missed something on the Cultist Narrative Network, don't worry, the dolt horde here will make sure everyone hears it.

Nobody is forced to quarantine when they return to Canada.  They are asked, but it's not enforced by anyone or any agency.

That was only when our borders were open to foreign visitors. "If you have a severe cough and fever please refrain from....."

As soon as only Canadians were allowed to come home, they imposed a mandatory quarantine on returning Canadians with fines up to $1M for non-compliance.

I don't know if that quarantine was lifted yet, but I know people who were subjected to that rule.

It's funny how quickly they went from "riot and loot away with no regard whatsoever for covid laws" to "socially distance or you're demonspawn". 

 

2020 America, CNN and the Demmies: "Rioting & looting is ok, political rallies are verboten!"

As soon as these "protests" started getting ugly, the mainstream media shifted back to covid coverage.  But they don't seem to make any connection between the thousands of people protesting over the last few weeks, and the increase in cases.  Hmmm.
