Re: Coronavirus
I could do 14 days standing on my head. 15 minutes in the grocery store first and I could do a month. The quartermaster gene stays with you.

Sounds like that chap has long covid - it's becoming more common. :( https://evidence.nihr.ac.uk/themedre...-with-covid19/ Yes it's not crucial for me, just was a random thought that for those who have no friends or family, and don't have a credit card, could really be up the creek if they can't leave their home for 2 weeks. I couldn't order anything online at the moment if I wanted to, no credit available on the card, but I only have a $500 limit, and all the auto payments go on it (various insurance, BC Hydro and cell phone) and then I pay it off at the end of the month when we get paid. Charlee has at least a month of food in the freezer, the cat we buy week worth at a time, but I may start buying 2 weeks worth at a time for the time being. For those in Surrey and Vancouver, some grocery store outbreaks. The article also includes some deaths per capital for a couple provinces, I knew Quebec was bad, just didn't realize how bad. Per capita rate of deaths: 8 per 100,000 in BC 82 per 100,000 in Quebec 25 per 100,000 in Ontario https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/c...sitive-3137002 |

Re: Coronavirus
I was just chatting with my old friend on skype text messaging, and he told me the nursing home just called and his mother has tested positive. I've known them almost 50 years. :(

Re: Coronavirus
BC doesn't as far as I can tell break deaths down by age. I suspect since majority of cases are in younger age groups, this is is keeping the death rate relatively low, but I dunno for sure.

Re: Coronavirus
I am so sorry for everyone who is being personally affected by this shitty shitty virusEvery time I think about meeting up with someone I shouldn't or doing something risky I remind myself of the far reaching implications
Interesting about the depressive issues after.. I'm fairly convinced that soon drs will find an organic reason for several types of depression . Such as a virus or the like. I believe Lyme's disease is also known to have this affect. 40 years ago scientists were adamant that viruses couldn't cause cancer....now we vaccinate against viruses we know can.. maybe soon we will have similar treatments for depression |

Re: Coronavirus
It is interesting reading the experiences of people around the province for testing.
Some places are walk in and take a bit of time, other places have doctors screening before testing, my area I just had to make an appointment online, answer self screening questions, walk next door, nurse did the test, in and out in less than 10 minutes. No drive thru service though, you have to go inside the urgent care facility. |

Re: Coronavirus
To compare between the provinces and the states, here for the sheer joy of copy and paste:
https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/corona...ates-1.5051033 And now we have twice as many cases as we did on Nov 1: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/corona...ov-1-1.5209320 |

I'd say, it's my guess that the UK and Germany would probably be very quick in organizing that, Canada, I don't know, but also bearing in mind that in Canada the land mass is also way bigger. |
Re: Coronavirus
Talk about 'scaremongering headlines! https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-c...ling-1.5205259
Ontario could see more than 9,000 new COVID-19 cases per day by end of year: new modellingReading the article..if cases grow at a rate of five per cent, Ontario could see more than 9,000 cases per day by Dec. 30. Cases of the novel coronavirus in Ontario have been growing at a much lower rate of 0.45 per cent over the past 14 days. while the province is not modelling a decrease in cases, they are seeing a flat-line trend right now |
