My biggest worry if planning to travel outside Canada is being able to get back to Canada and not stranded because airlines have suspended flights or Canada places more restrictions, so have a plan in place if travelling outside Canada in the event it becomes difficult to get back.
American Airlines has had a pilot test positive. I do wonder how much longer crews will even be willing to risk it. I wont be surprised at this point if US airlines shut down and suspend all service at some point, cheaper to just not operate rather than fly empty planes around. British Airways to lay off workers, ground aircraft to reduce costs and battle for survival according to the CEO. |

The grocery store is pure insanity. Like a scene from a movie.

Stores have been insanely busy with huge lines at times, worse than Christmas season. Panic buying is in full force here. https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/c...y_lineup_goes/ https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/c..._at_metrotown/ https://i.imgur.com/FvgF81A.jpg |

Via Rail is suspending Montreal-Halifax route, known as the Ocean, and the Toronto-Vancouver route, known as the Canadian until March 27, possibly longer I imagine if things don't improve. Approx 1,800 passengers affected. My wife had a job interview scheduled for today, but it was cancelled. |

No worries. Here's a fun thing. My client doesn't have the VPN bandwidth to support everyone working from home so there's a value ranking; if you're important you can work from home, if not then you can go in or not be paid. Obviously, I'll be going in and available for lunch any time (not if dead).

Well, at least you know your place in the rankings! Assuming I go to UK I will see you after whatever quarantine period is required, if not it will be earlier.

I was thinking we might book ourselves a little trip away :lol: Daughter and family are in Florida, arrived on Wednesday for 10 days, now re-booked for return home this coming Tuesday ............. DisneyWorld and other sites being closed as of Monday. Her OH and son will have to go into 14 day isolation when they get home ......... he's a teacher and child is at school, a school board/provincial government/health officer decision for both of them. She'll probably have to do the same as "parents and other family members are advised to do the same". |
