They are taking that page out of Floriduh's playbook. What deaths? None of them lived in Fl so they don't count. Once upon a time they stepped foot outside Florida, they don't count. Anyway it was just a bad year for asthma deaths and strokes.

They're FINALLY talking about making masks mandatory in the GTA.

Province declines to make masks mandatory indoors; says municipalities can do so if they wish
The provincial government declined Monday to issue a blanket order that people wear masks in indoor settings, shrugging off a request from GTA municipalities who requested a formal provincial policy.
A rule of thumb I lead my life on is, "People are selfish idiots". I think fabric masks are next to useless although even they reduce the viral transfer rate by 1/5, that's a mere 20%. You also must wear eye protection, if you don't guess where the lacrimal ducts vent to which leads to inhaled virus.They're FINALLY talking about making masks mandatory in the GTA.

Knowing I could not rely on humanity to protect themselves much less me I choose to don my 3M 7501 with 3M 60921 filter cartridge, along with eye and hair protection when I go out. When I come home I disinfect my PPE and wash my hair covering (knit watch cap) and over gown (a 3xl black hoodie).
Stay safe out there and depend on yourself not the
It didn't work out for Blanche and I doubt it works out for anyone else.

That's a huge mask! How are you making out with it in in the California heat? I start working next Monday, I'm told that they're taking all the necessary precautions and I'll be a high wall cubicle by myself so distancing won't be a problem. They don't have a policy that requires you to wear a mask all the time, only when you're interacting with others in close proximity and I have no idea what the culture is like. I was planning on wearing it full time, but now I'm not sure. It's tough being the outsider and I have a hard enough time fitting in without being the weirdo in the mask. I hope they come to some sort of agreement before next week.

"Gilead Sciences has set the price for its COVID-19 drug remdesivir. The company will sell the drug to the U.S. government and other developed nations for $390 per vial. Treatment typically lasts five days and requires six vials of the medicine, resulting in a total cost of $2,340, if you are on Medicaid or Medicare. If you are paying for the drug using private insurance, it's going to cost you a bit more. Gilead said the price for private hospitals will be $590 per vial, which would cost $3,120 for a six-vial treatment. A longer course of treatment could cost as much $4,290."

At least a 3.5mm cord to connect her phone to her stereo. These young kids like the retro shit these days...
Compared to the space suits we sometimes wore this is airy and light. A little sweat gives a perfect seal.
Apple in it's unending attempt to frustrate and stymie the consumer eliminated that very handy port. So now if you want to use 3.5 mm headphones you need an adapter. If you want access to charging, at the same time, you get to buy a kludgy charger/3.5 mm adapter, expensively frustrating.

This forces the consumer to continue paying for the support of archaic technology.
"Keep using the old tech at your own peril." or "Upgrade now for ease of use".
Someone will always be paying the bills. Big Tech is not in the business to lose $$$$

not to be crass but it would be foolish not to consider the cost from research to distribution.
even if provided at no cost to the end user THERE IS A COST to bringing the medication to the user.
