I'm not sure I want to go south just yet.
As of yesterday:
84,154 new cases
1,480 new deaths
9,695,610 active cases.
Round up USA to 10,000,000 active / 350,000,000 population = 2857 active per 100,000 population.
Saskatchewan 73,057 active / 1,000,000 population = 7305 active per 100,000 population.
Do you practice any kind of gun safety?
Statistics say just 27,000 people a year are accidentally shot in the US, not much of a risk right?
330,000,000 people, 27,000 shootings, so less than 8.2 per 100,000 population per YEAR.
Do I practice “gun safety”? Yes, as I was trained.
This has to do what with the land border opening?
Just that there is risks in every breathe we take.
I apologize if it was taken personally brother, it was only meant as an illustration. Seatbelts, road safety, gun safety, food safety, everybody seems to be happy (or sad) with wildly differing levels of risk.
In a lot of cases it seems to be way more political than factual or based in science.
Apology accepted JaxDad - I understand what you meant now.
I'm pretty much done with the daily dose of fear mongering.
I'm going to ride my motorcycle tomorrow. Possibly a bit over the speed mandate on gravel and dirt roads. And then dodge a few texting drivers on a main road or two. If I survive that I'm going to cook something high fat on the barbeque and then watch the sunset and northern lights.
