It is likely a good thing that the Province of 水果视频 has largely left it to local school divisions to set the ground rules for students going back to school this fall.

I think we need to realize that the COVID-19 situation is real, but it shouldn鈥檛 be as scary as the media and government make it out to be. To listen to the media, one would assume that the world is coming to an end very soon. The world is not coming to an end, at least not due to C-19 or Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau.

Most people realize that COVID-19 is a flu that can be fatal, but usually only to people who are already sick. People can get it without symptoms and at the other extreme, relatively healthy people have been known to die. C-19 is a serious situation, for sure, but some perspective is needed, perspective more than fear.

There is an old saying that suggests, 鈥淵ou can鈥檛 fix stupid.鈥� Well, apparently you can鈥檛 make it put on a tiny cloth mask either.

Recently, several events took place across Canada in protest of mandatory mask wearing policies being implemented due to COVID-19. According to the organizers, the movement, known as Hugs over Masks is fighting for the restoration of their liberties and way of life. The group via its social media platforms says that it is dedicated to removing lockdown measures its members believe are 鈥渦nnecessarily harming Canadians.鈥濃€h sweet baby Jeebus, where do I even begin with these clowns!?

According to figures from the province of 水果视频, there were 18 flu-related deaths reported during the 2018-19 flu season, but the number varies considerably year to year. The variance is shown in these stats: 2013-14 (9), 2014-15 (48), 2015-16 (22), 2016-17 (12), 2017-18 (46), 2018-19 (18).

So far in 水果视频, we have had eight deaths from COVID-19 over about five months, so over 12 months, assuming that C-19 keeps rolling at the current rates, there would be about 18 deaths.
