Trudeau is sane or So is Scheer And Singh and Blanchet, they all have to work together to and not one of them is trying to go it alone. The similarity of the scolding for both Scheer and Trudeau for taking advantage of their privilege over Easter weekend was clear. I think Canadians expect a lot more from our politicians and this is much truer when it comes to health care. Alberta's donation of PPE when it was needed was good but the scorn for medicine, nurses and doctors in general is going to be remembered in this province. Twenty or thirty thousand of us dying in a short period of time from a preventable cause is bad business. I think the real reason that there is pressure to ignore the people dying and "open up for business" is that the reality of the revenue hits cannot be denied. Where are the resources needed to pay for this crisis? Where are all the resources? Who has all the money? Africa has been a rich source of disease, like Asia, there are certainly more diseases coming. Ebola is already in the DRC and it is not going away. The more crowded the planet gets, the more chances for viruses to move around from species to species. A project in the Amazon basin collecting and analyzing mosquitoes in the canopy identified hundreds of lymphotropic viruses which we had never seen. It is an endless variety and and endless war. It will never end and we have to be better prepared. We are still learning about this virus, we have had it at large in the human population for about 150 days at most. The trenches will yield the gold in time but if the ideas for fighting this virus were stocks they are all good shorts, we are not winning except in a few places that take it much more seriously than we do (South Korea, Taiwan) or with a few comanies like Spartan. It is far from over, attestations of the light at the end of the tunnel aside. On a related note I am not sure I will ever fly on a 737Max again regardless of the cost of the ticket or the reassurances of Boeing.
