Canadian Government sends body bags to Natives for H1N1

[transplant99]

You should contact him and fill him in on your medical knowledge, I am sure he needs your assistance.

Huh?

I have no medical knowledge about anything...well except as i type this, i actually have h1N1, but beyond that i never claimed anything.

I ask the question again...do natives not die or something? Is there a ritual of immediate burial with this group that makes bags unnecessary?

This is just a waste of taxpayer money, there is no need for body bags (at least according to medical experts with degrees).

Ahhh...I see, this is a fiscal concern.

Okey dokey then.

You do not need the body bags for H1N1, you will not find a single trained medical person who says that you do. Not one. Why not send them some hockey sticks and a net as well, that would have the same functionality in terms of preventing or dealing with H1N1 in any way, shape or form. It is completely unnecessary (as the chief public health officer stated).

As for the Hand Sanitizer question from DevilsAdvocate, the answer is no, the Harper government refused to send the natives hand sanitizer. They eventually gave in, but the initial answer was no.

A government that sends needless body bags but refused to send hand sanitizer, nice

really?

Hmmm...then what happens to the body when someone dies from h1n1??

[transplant99]

Just to be clear...if this was ALL that was sent, then it really is a huge mistake.

i have a feeling that these bags were part of what was sent however...and there should be no uproar over that...why would there be?

It does come across as tackless. They are assuring us that this virus is beatable. I would assume they have body bags etc in even most remote communities, and this would be frightening to receive though hopefully not needed.

For all we know, this is just a negotiating tactic.

Natives: "You can't make us take this newfangled medicine. You must pay us each $500,000 to take it."

..so they negotiated for body bags. Need to hire a better negotiator.

Never attribute to malice what can be adequately be explained by incompetence.

Im guessing Im missing some serious trolling by EddyBear, this ignore list works wonders.

How dare the government send supplies to these remote communities. I bet if someone died and they weren't given them they'd complain over it too.


Anyway, the best part is people blaming this on Harper. Yah, Im sure he authorizes each shipment of medical supplies to each norther community, no doubt.

[HPLovecraft]

Do people know that the community there had no body bags? Or assuming this? If the chief medical guy says they shouldn't have sent them, I'm inclined to believe him.
