CDC now say the virus does not transmit easily via surfaces and is mainly person-to-person spreading.  Below is from the website.  As always, it's up to each one of use to process the information around us and act within those parameters that our brainwaves process.  And these guidelines change with the tides so ....

The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

• Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
• Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks.
• These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
• Some recent studies have suggest

The virus does not spread easily in other ways

COVID-19 is a new disease and we are still learning about how it spreads. It may be possible for COVID-19 to spread in other ways, but these are not thought to be the main ways the virus spreads.

• From touching surfaces or objects. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus.
• From animals to people. At this time, the risk of COVID-19 spreading from animals to people is considered to be low. Learn about COVID-19 and pets and other animals.
• From people to animals. It appears that the virus that causes COVID-19 can spread from people to animals in some situations. CDC is aware of a small number of pets worldwide, including cats and dogs, reported to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after close contact with people with COVID-19. Learn what you should do if you have pets.

It is crazy to see a province like NS so high compared to us in NB. I know they have a denser population in Halifax but still almost 10 times more cases with only 200,000 more people. Also its wild that QC is almost doubling ON and AB is almost tripling BC with a smaller population.

I've been thinking about mental health and how it relates to the pandemic.  I hate to sound neurotic saying this, and I know it's not just about me and I know others are probably having a hard time, but to be honest, I'm kind of floundering.  I became acutely aware of this earlier today when I mentioned to my wife something about my anxiety level being up today.  Then somehow the subject of depression came up and I told her I had more depression than anxiety.  She was very surprised when I said that and said,  "Really?!"   Our talk led me to realize that as much as I'm very transparent when it comes to anxiety,  I must be, on the other hand, very good at covering up depression.  She had no idea I'm dealing with depression despite that it is at a very high level.  I think a lot about how it would be OK to depart, how much easier that would be than carrying on.  And then it gets more tangled because I know I can't end my life, that I have to keep going no matter what! That's a better choice of course, but a damn hard one much of the time.  I wouldn't tell her this though.  That would be unfair.  She is so much better than I am. I would not do that to her.

I don't know why this isn't reported on more.  I had no idea the foodbanks were this strapped and people were this much in need.

^^ I hope you consider and find someone you can talk to about your feelings, Brian.

My workplace is considered essential... last week someone tested positive for covid 19.  We were not notified by management and just found out Tuesday this week...

I found out through the grapevine...not management.  My supervisor confirmed the rumour when I asked.  

Is that responsible behaviour by management?  About 800 people work there.

It is extraordinarily irresponsible. But if you work for a for-profit entity then it comes as no surprise.

All this is are lawsuits waiting to happen...

People don't want to work because of things like this and boss' don't want to tell employees anything.

Hang in there, Brian. Do you think it would help to speak with someone? I imagine the hotlines are great resources - have an anonymous talk without worrying about impacting a loved one.
