10hrs@110 by3 trucks every day last 40 days minus Sunday and only 1 for 8 on Saturday.
I thought you had one truck and were part of a crew. Now you have 3 trucks and run a crew and make an easy half mil every year. Good on you for giving yourself an internet raise!

Alberta and Saskatchewan decided people know best in doing what is needed in terms of the virus, economy full steam ahead.

Alberta's hospitals near 90% of surge capacity
Alberta's health-care system is buckling under an influx of sick COVID-19 patients as hospitals are nearing the 90-per-cent threshold of their surge capacity.

The province has been adding hospital beds to cope with the soaring number of cases. Even so, intensive care capacity — including the additional surge beds — is currently at 87 per cent, Alberta Health Services (AHS) says.

Without the additional surge spaces, provincial ICU capacity would be at 174 per cent.

Hospitals in the central and northern parts of the province are particularly hard hit. Those zones are at or above 100 per cent capacity, even with surge capacity, AHS said in a written statement.

As of Wednesday, there were 1,040 patients in Alberta hospitals with COVID-19, the highest the province has seen.

There are currently 302 patients in ICU, the vast majority of whom are COVID-19 positive. This is the highest number of ICU patients since the pandemic began, AHS said.

Sask. reports most active COVID-19 cases to date with 4,864
For the seventh straight days Saskatchewan has reported record high COVID-19 hospitalizations, adding 492 new reported cases on Saturday. For the seventh straight days Saskatchewan has reported record high COVID-19 hospitalizations, adding 492 new reported cases on Saturday.

Almost a third of the new 492 cases are in the age category of 20 to 39 and around 22 per cent of the new cases recorded in those eligible (ages 12 years and older) were fully vaccinated.

The seven-day average of new COVID-19 case numbers was 477, or 39.9 cases per 100,000 population.

ICU doctor cautiously optimistic about looming impact of 4th COVID-19 wave in Manitoba
A Manitoba critical care doctor and infectious diseases specialist remains cautiously optimistic when it comes to the impact of the fourth wave in Manitoba. It comes as Alberta and Saskatchewan deal with a surge in cases and capacity issues in hospitals.

Dr. Anand Kumar points to Manitoba’s move earlier this summer to reintroduce mask mandates and proof of vaccination requirements and the percentage of eligible Manitobans who are fully vaccinated but he said we’re not out of the woods yet.

“I think we are going to see an increase in activity but my hope is that it will be sufficiently blunted,” he said. “That we don’t see the kind of overwhelming hospital strain and ICU strain that they’re seeing in Alberta and Saskatchewan and that we saw, frankly, back in May and June.”

Even without a drastic spike in COVID-19 patients, numbers show Manitoba’s intensive care units are already stretched beyond normal capacity.

As of midnight, Shared Health said Thursday there were a total of 81 patients in ICUs with 14 of those patients receiving care for COVID-19. Provincial data shows only one of those patients is fully vaccinated. Before the pandemic, the normal baseline capacity for the critical care system was 72 patients.

so Alberta and Sask. are your red states? good to know.
Sask, is a funny place. They were the birthplace of the National Democratic Party (NDP), I will just paste, it is easier.

"The New Democratic Party (NDP) was founded in Ottawa in 1961 at a convention uniting the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and affiliated unions of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and also New Party clubs. The NDP’s founding leader was Tommy Douglas (1961-71), a long time CCF Premier of Saskatchewan and a Baptist minister. Douglas was a champion of social democracy, and is best known as the father of medicare, after introducing Canada’s first government funded health insurance in Saskatchewan (see Health Policy). He led the first socialist government elected in Canada and, after serving as premier for 17 years, made history again as the first leader of the NDP."

So they were farmers and the like tired of getting shafted all the time and formed a socialist party. The biggest thing they accomplished was to push the federal government of the day into forming what is now Medicare, universal health care (there are limits). But being farmers most are self reliant but also if one farmer gets stuck other farmers would help out. So the political winds of the place shifts. Alberta is our Texas, same thing happening also with cities shifting more to the socialist side. A NDP provincial government was elected in 2016 and ran to 2019, a firsts for redneck Alberta.

So are they red states? Ontario has elected Conservative Party governments as often as not (maybe a little more Liberal), and it is not considered a red state. But you have to keep in mind, we are Canadians. While the parties have their leanings we do not go to extremes like the US. So a Conservative supporter here may be called a communist by some of the US's right leaning folk. Of cores we have our 5% on either end who are just as loony as, well maybe not as bad as yours. Maybe 2%.

So even though we have a relatively low infection rate as compared to our two westward provincial neighbours the south-eastern corner of our province, which has 15% of the population, accounts for 50% of our covid cases. They also do not bother getting covid tested if they feel sick but just go about their way until they are sick to the point of going to Emergency. It is then they get tested. Kind of irrisposible and late if you ask me. But they do not want the government telling them what to do. Besides, God will decide whether it will get serious or not.

I say cordon off the area and let them deal with it as they see fit. Except there is also the sane people that live in the area. Can't make them suffer because of the others. Wait, that is what we end up going through because of the retards.

Handy graphic came up in the paper (they email me).

The bottom five are the south-east corner of this fair land, a graph of regions and percentage of people vaccinated. The one's at the very top? Native communities that remember getting hammered by SARS.

Yep..
I'm in the North of the State so i'm not in lock down. Yet..


It's believed the man spent about 18 hours in the community.
So far, 39 close contacts have been established.
A primary contact of the man also allegedly breached home quarantine last night. He was apprehended, fined, and taken to a hotel for isolation.
Mr Gutwein said the lockdown was a result of health advice.
"We simply cannot afford for an outbreak to occur," he said.
"We're at a crucial stage of the vaccination rollout."

Lockdown is over – but if you’re not at home, you must still wear a face mask in Southern Tasmania.
This includes when shopping, in the office, exercising (unless it’s intense exercise such as running or cycling) or in any public space.
It doesn’t apply to children under the age of 12 or people who have a medical exemption.
If you leave the south of the state and travel elsewhere in Tasmania before 6pm on Friday, you will need to wear a mask while you’re there.

And a good plan to open our State borders. We are on track for 90% vaccination rate of eligible in early December.
