Yeah disposable garbage from China that doesn’t last 5 minutes and ends up in land fills……the disposable society we now live in, that’s the real environmental problem in my opinion. We need to get back to building/manufacturing products that last!

Agree.....the thought of a world just full of (Spr)awl Mart, and the big box behomeths isn't a pleasant thought....it's bad enough that commercial areas all over Canada USA are virtually indistinguishable now..imagine if all the independent retailers were gone.

I don't go to Walmart but must admit I do go to Costco and use Amazon. It's the sameness of places like Walmart all across the country that I find annoying. The architect for Walmart and Costco got paid once.

Oh but they're in non-places that look the same. King of Prussia, Richardson, Mississauga, Kanata, Brampton. Suburbs for Hyundai drivers. They don't make those places look any worse.

Re: Coronavirus
If using the interiors then Costco is great as every Costco looks the same and the layouts almost identical as to where products are. I hate it when shopping at other stores I get used to a certain product being in a certain aisle then 3 months later they move it to another aisle. WHY????
Some would call it an ingenious move by them as they only needed one architect to design their stores and saved a shed load of money not having to hire multiple ones just so they could have different looking stores.

Re: Coronavirus
The layout, no matter which store chain or store is pretty much the same here. The one exception being where you go in and work your way left rather than to the right. But even then it's like a mirror image and you shop in the same order, just the opposite direction.
It makes it very easy for your list.

Today, following priority scientific review, Health Canada authorized the first COVID-19 serological test for use in Canada, the DiaSorin LIAISON®. Canadian laboratories will use the test to detect antibodies specific to COVID-19.

Re: Coronavirus
Maybe, but isn't it the case that no one knows what having antibodies means in terms of future infection; people who have antibodies may still catch COVID-19, perhaps multiple times, they might also spread it. It's a step in the right direction, certainly, but perhaps not a huge one.
