Mr.NB, do you think there are more cases than reported where you live? Dr. Henri, in BC, said at first that most people wouldn't need testing, they would just stay home with mild symptoms. With such low numbers in my province, I wonder if there is much more prevalence? The Ministry of Health and Education are both saying it is safe for kids to go back to class.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will cohost a major United Nations conference Thusday aimed at developing a co-ordinated global response to mitigate the devastating social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trudeau is cohosting the four-hour virtual conference with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness. You can watch it here.- Expanding liquidity in the global economy and maintaining financial stability.
- Addressing debt vulnerability for developing countries "to save lives and livelihoods for billions of people around the world."
- Involving private sector creditors in recovery plans.
- Enhancing external financing for inclusive growth and job creation.
- Preventing illicit off-shore financial holdings and money laundering that siphon off trillions of dollars needed for rebuilding economies.
- Aligning recovery policies with sustainable development goals.
Social media is absolutely ripping this doctor a new one. It is painful to watch not knowing the full truth but we live in an age where the mob mentality rules. They want him charged for manslaughter if someone dies from this spread, fined and credentials taken away. I do not know all of the details though. It does seem like he lied about going to and from Quebec in some capacity and still saw people as a healthcare provider. He also had his child going to multiple daycares with symptoms. Irresponsible and disgusting if true but I am just not sure to what extent the law comes into play with this and seeing the reaction online I bet you anything that people will be more reluctant to come forward now with symptoms especially if they were doing something that was not allowed in phase 3.
Wish you the best of luck in BC. I know your numbers are high but to be honest when this thing started I thought BC and Washington where going to be ground zero in NA and that the east coast may have been ok. Crazy how things changed in a matter of weeks.

... here we gooo
I will be amazed if the U.S. doesn't follow right behind you, starting in places like Alabama and moving out into many other places in America. Too many foolish people are basically saying "Bring it on!" and the coronavirus is going to say, "Here I come!" Unsettling times.

Lots of excellent information here, but with rather gloomy stats for the U.S.

i'm probably still going to work from home until mid-fall, which is fucking fantastic. (serious). i love this. spinning vinyl while i work, having lunch with my kids on the patio. zero commute. roll out of bed 30 seconds before work. this is the best ever. no annoying corporate bullshit to deal with every day. no interruptions or drama. MY OWN BATHROOM.
i could really get used to this on a permanent basis.0 -

Our borders are "closed" (you can get in and out if you really want to). If we can not open up no one can and if 2 cases are a cause for enough concern that people think we should shut back down and wait for a vaccine then we have a long road ahead of us.
Not the same thing.
I could see banning large gatherings and other small measures, but a shut down would be overkill.
I realize that a lot of you are going through hell with this virus in some of your cities but my point was if 2 cases causes enough concern to some people to shut everything down again we have a long road ahead of us until a vaccine comes. I really think this virus is making people go crazy to both extremes.
I just wanted to point out that it's stupid to compare covid to food poisoning (I know you didn't).That’s not comparing the two, that’s stating how big of an over reaction shutting down a city over 0.015% is.
its hit different areas differently for different reasons. Not every place needs a complete shut down. Some do.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

At one point we had almost $3 billion dollars earmarked for ventilators ... back when not having ventilators was our #1 crisis ... I'm assuming they are still making them. So are we going to have to build one of those giant warehouses from Raider of the Lost Ark to put them in? Either way I don't think we should have to worry about another ventilator crisis in our lifetimes.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0
