Yes. It is quite fascinating, in fact. I read the Star piece this morning. The working theory I took from it is multi-generational houses.

Common sense is lost. I never understood this concept, just celebrate in your home for this time period until its over, trust me the GODS will come to your home, they are GODS and they understand. It is disappointing that there is no respect for humanity. They will understand once they get COVID and have to wait because there is a line-up at the hospitals etc. Then it might be too late, I just don't understand people especially when its been communicated on a daily basis leading up to the festival. Like I said common sense is lost. Just my opinion folks.
Common sense, eh. Even if we do have a vaccine for COVID, how many people will actually get vaccinated?
Remember when some health care workers refused to get the flu shot? They might do the same with the COVID vaccine. "Their body. their choice" is what they will say.
I would be more interested in seeing an anti-Hanukah backlashI hope that all of the people in this thread attacking Muslims (as per usual) are equally vigilant and outspoken when Christmas social and religious festivities for white Christians begin...but I think we all know that is not how it works amongst terb’s far right racist members.
We both know how quickly antisemitic will get tossed around
Vast majority of people in TO are not white
Anyone who has been in city should know this
We have to be careful what we say on the board because there is at least one poster who is always hanging around looking for an excuse, any excuse, to start a race war. "Multi-generational houses" could be one of these excuses/trigger.
Correction: In a prior post I said NW Brampton, I think it should be NE.
Spike in cases in B-town isn't a surprise. we've been through this for the past few months...people act like there was no pandemic during the summer. the only difference is the change of climate...when the weather gets colder, the immune system drops...you add the fact that people would still party...then it's a recipe for disaster...
Now there was a BIRTHDAY PARTY in the GTA Saturday held in a storage facility with 100 plus people. The person in charge of it got dinged $750.00. People just DO NOT GET IT!!!!! Should have been $7,500.00 IMO. They KNEW by hiding they were in the wrong.
Add in the simple fact that those same people are more likely to work in service jobs where they are in contact with many people daily and without the possibility or working remotely.
But don't tell that to the people here who think it's because they aren't white.
People with a brain will (once there's evidence they are safe) while the selfish and the dumb won't. The down side (like with cigarettes) is that those people put stress on the health care system.
At least anyone who thinks anecdotal statements are more reliable than census data.
Unless you think that 52.2% is the "vast majority".
Boo hoo hooI hope that all of the people in this thread attacking Muslims (as per usual) are equally vigilant and outspoken when Christmas social and religious festivities for white Christians begin...but I think we all know that is not how it works amongst terb’s far right racist members.
Let me get you some tissues bro
You sound like your gonna cry
A message from God
Nearly two-thirds of religious Americans feel the coronavirus pandemic is “God telling humanity to change the way we are living,” according to the study.
That statement held more truth for black and Hispanic Americans — 73% of which and 65% of which said they agreed. About 48% of white Americans concurred.
More than half of the respondents polled also said they believed God would protect them from infection.
Broken down by affiliation, 67% of white Evangelical Christians agreed with that statement, compared to 53% of other Americans who believe in God.
But almost no one said the pandemic has challenged their belief in God.
According to the study, 73% of respondents said their sense of faith and spirituality had remained the same. Less than 1% said they believed in God before the outbreak but no longer do. Black Americans — who have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus — were more likely to say they doubted God’s existence because of the virus, the AP reported.
“27% said that, compared with 13% of Latinos and 11% of white Americans,” according to the AP.

Sadly many of them think the way to fix it is to move back to the 1950's and believe that science is a lie.
Don't know why religious people can't pray outside of a church etc. All this time I thought they believed god was everywhere.
