Today, the United States recorded over 71,000 new cases according to Worldometer, which is a new record.

Today, over 236,000 new cases were recorded worldwide, which is also a new record.

I know right, it's one of the biggest WTF. Magic Kingdom might get a dose of reality soon.

Also can you imagine someone traveling from out of state going there?

Time to Enact Fortress Canada.

Community Transmission in Canada will likely go away in 1-2 months in Canada and has stopped in majority of the country.

Time to Test anyone entering the country even if Canadian.

We have more than enough capacity to do that...

Anyone been to Pearson Lately? Its like a ghost town there.

Between simply observing the sky and the occasional trip to Flightradar24, it's like post 9-11.

Those gosh-durn young whipper-snappers and their rock and roll:

The annual Port Huron Float Down happens in August.

yeah canadian airspace is like dead.

USA seems like "party in the USA"

even so we cant block people from overseas forever and outside transmission will become a threat.

I have way more faith in sports organizations taking the necessary precautions compared to governments or the public.

The MLS is Back tournament is going well so far, only two teams sent home, both of which arrived in Orlando with positive cases on their team and had zero interaction with any other team.

Unlike governments, MLS is only responsible for what, 10K people max under contractual relationship - if they can't handle that, they should just fold.

Players or anyone else shouldn't be anywhere near Florida right now.

'I thought this was a hoax': Patient in their 30s dies after attending 'COVID party'

Are we allowed to drive to other provinces now? I was thinking of renting a place for a week in Nova Scotia.

The continual focus on the border without consideration towards beefing up the public health capacity for the public, nor strict maintainence of health measures by the public at large isn't Fortress Canada, it's the Maginot Line.

I think in places with high amounts of disease people get a lot of high viral loads as it just almost everywhere.

Notice in places with a lot of viruses, far more younger people start dying.

The Maritimes has some strict rules. If you're from outside of the Atlantic Bubble, you have to quarantine. https://www.novascotia.com/travel-info/covid-19-faq

Well, unlike the Miliary of France that had a singular focus and forgot about the Ardenne Forest...

We have done a great effort of enforcing health measures and more strict maintenance would require more authoritarian laws that Canadians dont want or politicians dont want. People clearly want to go outdoors and do some shopping and live some sort of life but understand no parties, no hugging and wear masks mostly.

While we slowly work to reduce the cases to a handful a day (i doubt we will eliminate the Virus fully), we have seen in NZ, Australia that it can just take one traveller coming into the country to set off a whole new chain of infections after getting things in control.

Also, I dont think we can sustain closing the borders till we have a Vaccine and have to allow some sort of travel and "Fortress Canada" seems one way of doing that.


The situation in Canada is actually really good as we are doing 150-200k tests in Ontario. Its the only reason why we still have lots of cases, while a lot of other places have just said no cases and hardly any tests.
