Pretty much the definition between blue and red areas.neptronix said:a much higher % . . die from covid, but nobody seems to give a frock

The difference between your blue zone and my red zone is that those who are not high risk have an option to go out and live.
The situation is already turning dire in Manitoba, where community transmission is so rampant through care homes, hospitals and family gatherings that health officials are unable to identify the main sources.
In Manitoba’s capital Winnipeg, with a population of 750,000, Kumar sees a trend similar to the outbreaks that overwhelmed New York City in the spring and currently El Paso, Texas, requiring freezer trucks to store bodies as they piled up.
Manitoba’s single-day record of 508 cases on Nov. 10 is triple the total from two weeks earlier, with intensive care units (ICU) nearly full.
The **proper** application of those policies would have (had) the whole thing become a non-issue within a month or two.neptronix said:LeftieBiker said:You moved to the right place. I just hope the at-risk people around you know to avoid you and all the other me-first spreaders.
At risk people are doing the same thing they're doing in blue zones - staying home.
The difference between your blue zone and my red zone is that those who are not high risk have an option to go out and live.
I hope you get the enjoyment of experiencing the policies you advocate for.

The city of 5 million people on Wednesday emerged from one of the world’s strictest and longest lockdowns that shuttered businesses and confined residents to their homes for more than three months.
Australia’s government estimates 1,200 jobs have been lost on average a day across Victoria state, while demand for mental health services has surged by more than 30%.
Despite key factors working in Melbourne’s favor, including closed borders, an infection count that was tiny by international standards, and a state government with strong public backing, it still took twice as long as anticipated to crush the curve.
