    BC is not reporting-acting as fast as our friends south of the border. I got yesterdays news about 2 lower mainland community spread cases this morning. 

    We are spending money here, business as usual. Most school closures etc... will come after exposure. Only 3 schools shut doors to kids so far.

    This picture was from this past weekend.  The gentleman from Brazil has tested positive.  Trump has had so many contacts with the hoax in the past two weeks, he's bound to get it.

    What do you mean? The provincial health officer and her office are reporting a ton. I’m seeing media updates a few times a day regarding testing and cases.

    Afraid to get sick as they are in their 80’s and hear that the novel coronavirus is affecting older people disproportionately. And that they don’t have family around to help them out. Through the crack in the window she handed me a $100 bill and a grocery list, and asked if I
    would be willing to buy her groceries.
    I bought the groceries and placed them in her trunk, and gave her back the change. She told me she had been sitting in the car for nearly 45 min before I had arrived, waiting to ask the right person for help.
    I know it’s a time of hysteria and nerves, but offer to help anyone you can. Not everyone has people to turn to.

    Am I misreading some of this, or do a lot of people hope Trump gets the virus? It just seems that way with some of the posts and even a thread predicting when. I don't understand why you would wish the president gets it, even if you don't like him?

    You’re not mis reading. And yes apparently it’s ok. But only for the current administration. Going forward it won’t be ok.

    Well this has gotten wayyyyyyyyyyyyy bigger than I thought it would.

    Anyone know where you can pull real numbers from?  That Hopkins site was sketchy for me.



    There are no accurate figures for cases in the U.S. yet because we've only tested a fraction of the population that should have been tested.  Now that test kits are becoming readily available, we'll know within the next couple of days.  Buckle up once the real numbers are revealed...
    I read yesterday, I forget where, that you will only be tested if you have the various symptoms AND have been in contact with a person who tested positive OR traveled out of the country.
    That covers 0% of those infected through community spread.

    Well, there aren't enough test kits anyway, so it's almost irrelevant that the testing guidelines are incorrect for the circumstances. 


    Wait?????


    What?????

    VP Pence assured us 3 days ago we'd  have 4 million test kits THIS WEEK.

    Yeah I think you’re misreading this. He was dismissing the virus as no big deal just two weeks ago, he’s been consorting with people that have tested positive, yet he’s stated that he doesn’t need to be tested. So while I don’t want him to get the virus, if he does get it, he brought it on himself. And it’ll be a real eye-opener for people that think he’s actually a competent leader and president.

    I couldn't find the answer online. Anyone know if countries south of the equator that have this, are those cases spreading the the community, or were they people who traveled and brought it back?
    I ask because I assume if it is spreading there, then that probably means warm weather will not slow it down. I only thought of this after reading about Tom Hanks and that he contracted it while in Australia.

    You're asking people to have compassion and caring towards a narcissistic, non-empathetic, fact avoidant bully who has bungled the US response to a virus that will result, and has resulted, in the death of many. Good luck! I'm not sure why this is a surprise to some. Go ahead and try to spin this however you want.
