Longer closure gathering momentum...

With the even more staggering number of cases going on right now in the US since lifting the two months of restrictions, there is no stopping this spread - now that it seems twice as worse, but yet there are no significant mandated restrictions put in place this time which I don't get why....

My guess in the foreseeable future right now is no worldwide tourism for the next two years unless this pandemic somehow becomes under control by then as I cannot see any vaccine that can stop this 30 reported different mutated strains of covid the last I read as it first left China with two different strains back then.

Because of this current event alone along with the way the United States is currently handling the crisis, it looks like I will not be able to visit Canada this year, so my 13 out of the last 14 year streak of visiting Canada will be put to an end this year.

At least in 2019 - I finally got to experience the Okanagan region for the first time last year, and got to see Abbortsford, Chilliwack, Hope and Cache Creek for the first time in 28 years, while driving my camper rig all the way to Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and Las Vegas to see family for the first time in 10 years, and seeing Reno and Sparks for the first time in 47 years - and if I was not a week behind schedule I would have stopped by South Lake Tahoe and Stateline to see it since 1972 when I lived there as a child also.

Sure glad I made this trip before the turn of events happened.

It is unfortunate that they did not immediately stop international and domestic travel from the start.

Hopefully there is a light at the end of this tunnel for us RV'ers to roam freely again in North America.

Yes, that looks like what happened yesterday. The numbers were double what they were previous days.

I can't find 105k new cases in USA. Where did you get that information?


Here


Looking at some other sites I have a feeling that was a misprint yesterday. Other sites say 53K, but that is still 1/2 the amount in just one day of all the confirmed cases in Canada.
I sure do hope the US gets things under control soon. That is just terrible what is happening to our neighbors down south.



The Bing page quoted here lists 57,209 for US on 7/3/2020.

I hope the border stays closed as long as it takes to minimize spread. I dont know how long that should be, thats why i trust the professionals. Canada currently has good control of this virus.
Its important to remember that corona is the enemy. We are all in this together.


Yes, I would say Canada has good control of this virus. Canada has a total of 105,000 confirmed cases since this pandemic started. The US had 105,000 new cases confirmed in just one day, today.
So Canada, please keep the border closed.

gmckenzie...as I am sure you know, but for others...the lock-down that is now lifting in stages has spawned a tidal wave of RV purchases and a drive into the hinterlands. RV sales have skyrocketed...anything that 'appears' to be usable as a camping method...tents, tarps, old vans...new anything...huge debt being incurred.

Any scrap of ground they can camp on is taken between Vancouver and probably Prince George. If a person has field with a pond? man...they could almost retire.

I have a Blog..about stuff, some of which is RV'ing.

Good to see.

Funny thing is, it hasn't opened up any camping spots. Be a different crowd, I guess, but just as full.
