    Someone above mentioned the election, is it possible the election could be postponed or canceled? 

    If so I would just see even more chaos, this is getting REAL ugly REAL quick.

    Peace
    trump has been 'joking' about being a 3-term president for months now

    I wouldn't put anything past this administration

    it looks like national emergency is going to be declared today, which gives the president and the executive branch a lot power

    Canada has made some Federal moves this morning: Canadians advised against all International travel

    • International flights will only be permitted to land at a smaller number of airports. Those locations have not yet been announced.
    • A ban on boats and cruise ships carrying more than 500 people from docking at Canadian ports until July.
    • A recommendation that all travellers arriving in Canada from international points self-isolate for 14 days
    Edit: also said:

    "We're in the midst of co-ordinating with the Americans, obviously, on our borders, on our actions. We'll continue to evaluate what we can do and how we can keep Canadians in security and we won't close the door on any idea."

    Friend of a friend that works in the WH saying Trump is going to kill domestic and int'l flights.  I don't believe it, but that's the rumor.  Makes no sense to kill domestic.

    And away we goooooo......

    Trump plans to declare national emergency over coronavirus pandemic. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/13/trump-will-hold-a-press-conference-at-3-pm-et-to-discuss-coronavirus-response.html

    An emergency declaration also would put to rest weeks of debate within the White House, where different factions of Trump's top aides disagreed about whether a Stafford Act declaration is necessary. 

    Those opposed to making the declaration, which had included Trump himself, worried that it would cause financial markets to panic.

    They also feared political fallout if it appeared Trump was sending the opposite message about coronavirus, namely that it is an emergency, from the one he had consistently delivered so far.
     

    Trump has falsely claimed that coronavirus is no more dangerous than the common flu, and that it will likely disappear quickly and without a significant impact on American life.


    Health officials say neither of these statements is accurate.

    As far a travelling between provinces, Canadians are able to make appropriate decisions for our families. 
    Regarding travelling across the border: Aligning efforts, and ongoing conversations to keep NA and Cdns safe. New NAFTA will receive 
    Royal Assent quickly. 

    Edit: Also said our health advice (and not closing border to China flights) worked well. We are at 170 cases right now. Afternoon announcement coming for financial aid. Fiscal stimulus in coming days.

    Would it make more sense to require they limit capacity like movie theaters are doing? Squeezing three people next to each other seems like the sort of activity they're trying to avoid with all of these other social distancing measures.

    Our PM spoke with Trump yesterday. No pressure to conform to Trumps Euro ban. Saying citizen pressure on Fed Gov't is US posing danger as far as slowing spread here goes.

    Take it easy. Sorry to hear. I called Mom yesterday and asked her to limit contact with my other siblings as they have high social exposure after hearing one of them visited her this week.

    Be well  :)

    That sounds like a reasonable solution.  What we need these days is more reasonable solutions- good show!
