NamMedevac 70 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 https://www.foxnews.com/world/canada-quarantine-travelers-suspend-flights-southTrudeau government suspends all flights to Mexico and Caribbean and all travelers and returnees to Canada will have to quarantine at a hotel for 3 days at their own expense and take a mandatory covid test at their own expense with cost of more than 2000.00 Canadian $.

agesilaus Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Quote Trudeau said in addition to the pre-boarding test Canada already requires, the government will be introducing mandatory PCR testing at the airport for people returning to Canada. "Travelers will then have to wait for up to three days at an approved hotel for their test results, at their own expense, which is expected to be more than $2,000," Trudeau said. Plus 14 days at home plus another test at day 10. All at your expense. Last I heard those tests cost $300 each down here in the US.

Ray,IN Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Every country is trying to control this SARS-CoV-2 virus the best their experts can advise.

Ropeshaft Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 It's sad but everyone has to do what they feel is best. We have many Canadian acquaintances here in FL but not seeing any of them this year. I'm still looking to see my first Canadian license plate where most years it's like 1 out of 10 plates is Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the the places with the most draconian lockdowns can have the highest rate of Chinese Flu. Look at Cali, they are number one in infections and have been since before Christmas. Lockdowns do not work. The Brits are another example. Edited January 31, 2021 by agesilaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyA Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 3 hours ago, agesilaus said: What is your proof? A virus is not a living organism. It does not have a cellular structure. It cannot replicate or sustain itself outside of a host for any extended period of time. No matter if it is the common cold, flu or any other of millions of known virus strains, science has proven time and time again that it is "best" spread among the susceptible populations by either direct contact where the virus is moved into the body by a contaminated surface touching an opening (i.e. mouth, nose, eyes, genitalia, open cuts or sores.) or through moisture expelled from an infected individual by talking, sneezing, coughing, spitting, singing, etc.). A face mask worn by both an infected individual and one not-infected is a two way filter for body fluids expelled through the mouth or nose. Isolation of infected individuals from non-infected individuals so that the virus cannot find a new host in order to replicate is the best known way to "kill off" the spread of a virus (we have effectively done this in hospitals for decades). Isolation, even mandated lock-downs, no matter how unpleasant they may be, how damning they seem to our "rights" or how damaging to our economy they may seem, are scientifically know to be more effective than "herd immunity" or vaccinations in reducing the spread of a virus. No matter how much inconvenience social distancing, wearing masks, quarantine, testing and sanitizing may seem they are insignificant compared to the death of individuals susceptible to the virus and secondary complications. Anyone who says different probably also believes the moon is made of green cheese. As for arguing with statistics such as the populations of California vs. Florida you cannot do that in isolation as a single factor giving irrefutable proof. If you believe in that kind of statistics I can prove to you that putting sand in your engine oil will extend the interval between needed oil changes.
