  1. Not to minimize the gravity of someones death. Id like to point out that based on the numbers posted here the number of fatalities in the above example using 25,000 people would be 5 not 50.. 25,000 x 99.98% =24,995
  2. Wife works in nursing home. Something like 250 residents in this home. All residents and staff vaxed. Couple months ago they had a breakout in one ward . Staff moved quickly to isolate that one ward and contain virus . Iirc 27 residents lived on that ward . End result every single resident on that ward contracted covid . 5 fatalities. Vax was miserable failure. Health unit reported to the public that vax was huge success because in a home of 250 residents only 27 got covid and only 5 deaths . They did not lie ..... they just did not tell the truth.
  3. your answer would be Nov 9 2020 6:45 AM when they told us the first vaccine would be more than 90% effective in preventing Covid 19....
  4. Wow lol ..... too much coffee this morning haha
  5. Sad but true . I think as all the southern ontario riders slowly realize this and begin to drop out the ofsc is going to feel the pinch more and more due to the reduction in permit sales . It just looks like things are going to continue to decline for this sport.
  6. I respect your choices as well. To each his own.
  7. Very true. Even vaccinated it is best to try to avoid as much contact as possible .Thats why I stand by my earllier statement. I personally have no interest visiting the one country which is currently reporting by far the most active cases on the entire globe.
  8. If your vaccinated like i am you can still get covid..guess you havent heard. you can still die too although the claim is your odds are better if vaxed .
  9. Last i looked the USA still leads the entire world by a broad margin in active case numbers . I personally have no need or desire to visit that shithole country.
  10. Wife and I have been loyal riders and have been buying two permits every year since 1991. This will be the first year we wont be buying them. Touring was always our thing . Take a week once a year and ride a loop. Normally a couple smaller trips as well each year if there was time and money. Same old story , snow conditions , closed trails etc. Sort of taken the fun out of it for us . In recent years sleds have improved so much in terms of power and suspension they are capable of much higher trail speeds than even ten years ago. There seems to be more and more sleds roaring around blind corners way too fast and with no chance of stopping if you happen to be coming the other way. That is one of several reasons in recent years we seem to have less and less friends to ride with. The proverbial nail in the coffin so to speak for me was the loss of riding in my local area . The Ganaraska and Northumberland forest trails due to liability insurance battle. To me at least in my local area it seems snowmobiling is dying. Figured I'd sell my sleds b4 it gets any worse. A sad chapter in my life as I have been doing this for so long. I have to say I do not miss the amount of time and effort and cost I would normally be putting in this time of year , pre season service , insurance , licence stickers , Permits , trailer maintenance etc. Even to gas two sleds up with premium gas is really stinging these days. Then there was usually a few upgrades to riding gear to be purchased each year as well . A new jacket or helmet whatever . All and all the pre season always seemed to me to be a busy and costly time . Never really minded as I always enjoyed the sport and saw value in the effort. Unfortunately for me at least this is no longer the case. Anyone else sitting on the fence with this ?
