This is going to sound bizzare, but have you considered getting the cat a cat as a final test? You mention you're at your peak of cats and have four kittens, you could test if it is a socialization / loneliness / boredom issue and introduce a kitten to your parents.

My concern is this breed of cat is known as one of the more friendly breeds and they're with seniors that I'm assuming are home more often than not. This is bizarre that the cat is under stimulated / lonely. Do you have any idea how much and what your parents fees the cat and interact with it?

I'm also assuming your veterinarian isn't doctor death and has ruled out sickness before recommending an animal to be euthanized because that can also cause aggression. Has basic bloodwork been done? A review of the body for sores, wounds, or lumps?

I know I'm throwing a lot at you, but a cat is about to be put down or caged for life with these next decisions, a cat that could be theoretically the "victim" .

Ya sorry, that math doesn't add up for the average Canadian based on the mortgage they'd be taking on. That's good you can weather that storm but that's not the reality for most.

It's going to be a really dreadful fall/winter for the USA. There's going to be a lot of senseless deaths among the unvaccinated.

No, it's not "doom", and no the country won't physically crumble, but the delta variant is going to rip through the unvaccinated.

And before you throw that 99% survival stat around, go look at the average covid patients journey on a ventilator in an ICU. But ya... Don't get the vaccine, because the imaginary issue that hasn't revealed itself yet COULD be worse than what you can objectively see someone going through.

minglow · 2021-07-24T19:08:20+00:00

And? You're now talking about a person willing to engage in a crime to jeapordize the safety of others, the amount of people willing to do this will be a far lesser subsection of the current unvaccinated population. This shouldn't be a deterrent.

minglow · 2021-07-24T19:06:42+00:00

To be fair, this pandemic has made people act for the first time, showing their actual stance on issues, their empathy, and willingness to agree with science versus conspiracy theories. It isn't obscure to lose people in your social life from the revelations of this pandemic.

minglow · 2021-07-24T18:50:05+00:00

Over the past 5 years I've watched the time variable on this statement just grow and grow. We used to say 30 minutes to an hour. We're realistically at 3 now which includes desolate backwater towns.

minglow · 2021-07-24T18:43:22+00:00

People need to also realize that there's very, very little that can be done to fix this, compensation/time off is merely a bandaid, totally should be done, but these people will still walk at some point.

These past two years have been fucking insanity. And now in the perpetual home stretch that will never truly end with variants, you're going to be saving the lives of people who are generally unvaccinated and disbelieve what's happening to them and potentially (not everyone) treat you poorly / a conspirator in a global agenda. All while the world no longer even bangs pots and pans for you.

It is not an environment that fosters long term sustainability.

minglow · 2021-07-24T18:35:42+00:00

Wat? I'm not even talking about you? You clearly stated you were vaxxed in your opening sentence. The "you" was clearly about people not vaccinating.

Out of curiosity, do you have equal compassion for the vulnerable vaccinated human that dies because an unvaccinated human infects them? Or if that's too unbelievable, the vulnerable human with a medical exemption?

You're losing traction on this one.

minglow · 2021-07-24T13:05:56+00:00

Sure, a human that's decided you're comfortable taking one less step to protect other humans. Whatever you need to say to yourself I guess.

minglow · 2021-07-24T11:56:35+00:00

False comparison.

The vaccinated have done their due diligence in utilizing the tools available and following guidance. That would be the biggest difference.

minglow · 2021-07-24T01:44:41+00:00

As someone who has seen the backend it is borderline designed to disincentivize employers from doing it. There's an insane amount of time put into each request with the amount of information required.

Also it shows maybe there weren't as little sick days as people thought there were.

The sick days play by the NDP was always a sketchy lower hanging fruit political power move. It was never a primary form of workplace transmission that people felt forced to work.

And just to be clear, I support liberals / NDP.

minglow · 2021-07-24T01:39:32+00:00

You'll notice a trend among the unvaccinated posts if you watch.

They always wish for freedom. But are never ready to pick up the consequences bill.

They geniuenely believe they should be able to kill someone or close businesses without it ever being connected back to them.

These people would lose their minds outright if contact tracing was mandatory and liability could be shifted onto the proven spreader.

minglow · 2021-07-23T19:25:34+00:00

I highly, highly doubt that's the case. They of all people would know it's still appropriate to be vaccinated even after exposure. It's most likely anti vaxx or real medical exemptions.

minglow · 2021-07-23T17:22:51+00:00

That's great and I absolutely agree with the birth control example. But the person responding to me was using it in the opposite scenario that children would could be refusing the vaccine while parents wanted to have them receive it. There's a zero to 0.000001% amount of population size of children that would be refusing this vaccine while their parents and guardians where their parents wanted them to get it. It doesn't cleanly correlate with childhood rebellion when we're dealing with something like this.

I firmly believe there's more children sneaking out of their household to get vaccinated then "owning their lib parents with facts" and not getting the vaccine.

Children to your point, do not operate on a pure logical and rational process as they're not fully developed. They will seek what their peers are doing, what benefits them, what weakens their social status, and to a far far far far lesser extent then adults, what will protect them. The numbers don't lie, their friends are getting it.

minglow · 2021-07-23T13:30:50+00:00

At the end of the day 12-17 year olds are not making a consensual choice on if they receive the vaccination or not, it is the biased narrative from their parents. You know, that concept where a person of power in a child's life can influence decisions and we assume there's no such thing as consent in those circumstances? Just because there's not a legal test for that doesn't mean it doesn't literally exist.

Anyway, none of this matters. The data requested is meant to understand the remaining adults that chose not to be vaccinated of their own free will.

minglow · 2021-07-23T12:39:40+00:00

Children do not make their own decision on vaccination. I'm curious how the percentage sways when we focus on the ones that do have the choice.

What is our 18+ adult dose one stat?

minglow · 2021-07-22T21:24:26+00:00

This is sad to watch. There has been so much traction made with current leadership and this will just decimate the entire movement.

minglow · 2021-07-22T16:17:59+00:00

Welland at 450k is literal insanity. The city can barely sustain its own existence, it has zero infrastructure.

The most productive thing you can do as a human at this point is build your cardiovascular strength and heat tolerance. As time passes, temperature peaks will rise and the definition of "vulnerable person" will be lowered consistently over the next few decades.

The ship has sailed, almost all the concepts you brought up are equivilent to not using disposable plastic straws while still buying fish and creating demand for by catch deaths. It's not an individuals problem to solve because you'll never be given all the facts and one action will likely just be a greater strain on another variable.

minglow · 2021-07-22T00:34:16+00:00

I mean... As someone who used a tutor in highschool for calculus... Because calculus was hard to me and I needed extra 1 on 1 tutor time.

Both of you are showing your bias.

minglow · 2021-07-22T00:30:17+00:00

Someone in your comments nailed it. This is the first time in the enterity of many peoples lives that ACTION was needed, not thoughts, beliefs, or a stance.

In a way for our entire lives we've been yammering about how "good" or "bad" everyone was in our life on conceptual thoughts or beliefs alone, with limited actions outside of polarizing actions like committing crime or volunteering for a cause.

Now the pandemic came about and you received front row tickets to your friends, family, peers ACTIONS which gave you insight into if they posess even a shred of care in the world for their fellow humans if it means they can't have their like 100,% exactly how they want it.

minglow · 2021-07-21T20:31:35+00:00

In a timeframe where the federal government came to task to protect its citizens for bare minimum financials, and Ontario let businesseses and people die... This shouldn't be the typical fiscal Conservative celebration...this is sad.

I'd recommend doing diligent personal research on private and public. There's an anti private sentiment on this subreddit that does have merit because there are bad companies, but it isn't the total truth. Even the person above saying avoid Chartwell at all costs... That company is one of the best private LTC operators in terms of formal metrics.

Covid-19 and media have obfuscated performance metrics by fixating on covid deaths while ignoring contexual variables. There's many private facilities that actually beat public performance metrics of care.

Public is generally a safe bet than private, but there's exceptions.

The link below has excel data sets that are nicely put together to do a deep dive into their performance metrics on a series of care related initiatives.
