Alan I care because of the people that will die. Nationality has nothing to do with caring for people all around this world. I see the screwups by the leadership in the USA causing a bunch of unnecessary death and hardships. I see a bunch of self centred countries and leaders all over the world that turn their back on the millions of Afrcans that die of starvation every year. My nationality has nothing to do with my concern for humanity.
We hear it everyday from all level of leadership. We have not once heard "it'll be over by Easter" or "it'll just go away like magic" from our leaders. Big difference on how one leads. Even today I see Trump standing side by side, even touching the others at the podium. What message is that sending?
Alan I understand what your doing...cornered and giving smart ass replies. Bottom line people coming into the US from foreign lands whether tourists or American citizens were not tested nor quaranteened.
I live in Canada and there are delivery services that are crawling over themselves to help out. Many have organized as a grass roots move to help the seniors stay at home...but it has spread to anyone needing or wanting help getting groceries or medical supplies.This has been praised a number of times by our Prime Minister during his daily address to the nation. It's inspiring and infectious.
You're being naive. She did it for political reasons. Trump was for it so she had to be against it. His opponents don't want to say anything nice about anything he does. It's too bad this virus did not hit after the election. A lot of the politics wouldn't have occurred that creating problems.
Of bigger concern is how effective with vaccines be if they invent them? The regular flu vaccine is only 40% effective this year (that's another rough number folks. ) So even if we get a vaccine, if it's 40% effective, we'll be right back in the soup again next year. Not sure my marriage can survive another quarantine.
Thanks for letting us know you're Canadian. How about adding that detail to your profile so everyone can know that going forward? It would be really helpful.
Just look North. Consistent message from the top all the way to the local mayors and even your doctor or neighbours. Sure it won't be 100%...but I can tell you the people I know that arrived from outside of Canada have self isolated for 14 days.
No; a lot of people cares about Canada; there are many there of UK descent and thousands there faithfully buy - or are sent - Scottish calendars of glens, mountains and northern beaches. Had I gone down that route I would probably have never retired: cupidity might well have driven me to an early grave. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more Scots fans of Canada than there are French ones!But politically, the reason people are bogged down in US politics is Trump: he is such an unexpected, unmitigated misfit for the rôle of president that the world can't help itself watching out for the next disaster in the slow-mo train-wreck show. Added interest is that unlike in the movies, what this guy does affects all countries, not because he is a savant, a wunderkind of any sort even, but because he happens to be at the wheel of the world's biggest war and economic machine that is hurtling along, effectively out of control. That many of its passengers are telling one another that everything is cool, that the best thing to do is go make another cheese, go shoot another camper van and, most certainly, invest in an extension to the armoury only adds drama to the background scenery. Some external observers even wonder if they are actually watching a very expensive and long-running commercial for a new Amazon or Netflix show.
And why did other countries start a testing effort and isolation of incoming people? Are they smarter than Trump? Did they have better medical and scientific data? Exactly what logical reason was there no isolation attempt and very little testing for weeks? Can you lay out the logic which led to these decisions...especially when other parts of the world were moving ahead with isolation and full on testing?
On that note I should probably remind everyone I'm an immigrant.
G--D--- this Texan American loves you, Rob
What a cop out. Looking north is useless. Did you have 3 million entries? I asked you how do we confine 3 million people. Its a pretty simple question and all you did is sidestep. Wanna try again? I'm sure may of those 3 million did self confine, but not at the port of entry which is the only place it make sense. But them again there is that pesky constituion.
Do you actually read the news? Do you understand the cultural and size differences betweens countries. Do you even have a clue as to how US law and the constitution dictates how things happen? Sheesh.
Ever since Brexit, Rob has sold his soul to commies. No wonder you are welcoming him into your arms.
You nationality does count. Maybe you're Chinese and trying to make America look bad.
Canadian are quaranteening in their homes. They go from airport to home without stopping. These orders are given to every individual that comes into Canada. I don't know what percentage of people are doing this...but I believe it is very high as this information is given out through every media every day. Everyone I know that came into Canada from being away has self quaranteened in their homes.So it's hard to do...just give up and party instead? What exactly was the alternative method employed in the US to all those Americans coming home?
